Panang Curry Recipe

Panang Curry Recipe

I am a big fan of curries–be it Malaysian, Indian, or Thai. Born and raised in Malaysia, I love food with strong flavors and curries deliver just that. For many home cooks, curries appear intimidating and too complicated to make at home, but it’s actually quite a simple feat. As much as I love to cook authentic foods and try…

Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken Recipe

Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken Recipe

I told you about clearing out my fridge in my last post, so this is the second installment where I used the leftover lemongrass, shallots, and chicken breasts as the main ingredients. I found this Vietnamese lemongrass chicken recipe on a recent copy of Food & Wine magazine–an article about Vietnamese recipes. I believe this is not the most authentic…

Kabab Koobideh Recipe

Kabab Koobideh Recipe

This is Kabab Koobideh, a Persian dish, but this is actually a post about my encounter with Kabab Nazi. It’s a fun post because I put in some effort to write it, so I beg you to read on. Once upon a time ago, I had a favorite joint for work lunch, a Persian buffet restaurant just a stone’s throw…

Chicken Shu Mai (Siu Mai) Recipe

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) My brunch this morning–chicken shu mai (sui mai), or steamed chicken dumplings. See the little turquoise plates? I got them from London. Aren’t they so beautiful? They are the only thing I got myself in London. I know…the only thing I bought! I was out shopping for clothes, shoes, and all the pretty-me-up’s,…

Claypot Chicken Rice Recipe (without Claypot)

Claypot Chicken Rice Recipe (without Claypot)

I am lazy by nature, very lazy. If I were to choose something to describe my laziness, it’s probably snake. Yeah, I am kind of like a snake. I don’t like to move around too much, unless I really have to, for example: when I have to eat or when nature calls. My perfect way of spending time is just…

Apologies for being so unresponsive to your comments and the lack of posting. I am on the road for two weeks and will be heading back soon. However, I wanted to share with you a new summer recipe–pandan chicken or fried chicken wrapped with screwpine leaves. Screwpine leaves or pandan leaves are commonly used in Malaysia to infuse the food…

Minced Chicken and Pork Rolls/Jijuan Recipe (鸡卷)

Minced Chicken and Pork Rolls/Jijuan Recipe (鸡卷)

Having a food blog is great, really. Other than the dedication to constantly whipping up good food (and try not to repeat the same dish in order to generate new content!), I also learn to experiment with different cuisines and recipes that I wouldn’t have attempted otherwise. (I mean, why would I want to cook a dish when there is…

Chinese Porridge Recipe (Congee with Dried Oysters and Chicken Recipe)

Chinese Porridge Recipe (Congee with Dried Oysters and Chicken Recipe)

What do you eat when you have your teeth pulled out? A bowl of chew-friendly Chinese porridge/congee. (I had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted last Friday and this is what I have been eating.) For ingredients, Rasa Malaysia recommends dried oyster and chicken breast fillet. Top the porridge with fresh shredded ginger, chopped scallions, a few drops of…

Yakitori Recipe (Grilled Chicken Meat Balls)

Yakitori Recipe (Grilled Chicken Meat Balls)

My current food crush on Japanese food continues with yakitori, or Japanese grilled chicken skewers. If you have tried yakitori before, chances are you have tasted these legendary grilled chicken meat balls. Known as Tsukune in Japanese, I am nuts for yakitori. They are juicy, yummy, and definitely my favorite and a must-have item at yakitori restaurants or izakaya (Japanese…
