Today, my guest writer is Elaine of Kitchen Experiments, a food blogger and also a proud online entrepreneur at I Heart Vanilla. Elaine is a fellow Malaysian and spent a lot of…

Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油鸡)

Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油鸡)

My Chinese New Year recipes continues today with everyone’s favorite Cantonese Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油鸡)—a staple chicken dish commonly found at Chinatown BBQ joints here in the United States and around the world—dark and glossy whole chicken dunked in a soy sauce mix with meat so tender, silky, and juicy that they are one of the must-have’s for Cantonese-style BBQ rice…

Crispy Fried Chicken (Martin Yan’s-Style)

Crispy Fried Chicken (Martin Yan’s-Style)

Martin Yan. The mere mention of the name Martin Yan conjures up visual pictures of my childhood days in Penang, Malaysia. I am a fan of Martin Yan, since I was little. I remember my family and I would crowd in front of the TV watching “Yan Can Cook.” Back then, I didn’t understand English completely but I loved the…

Basil Chicken (Gai Pad Krapow)

Basil Chicken (Gai Pad Krapow)

When I was working in Beverly Hills, there is this Thai restaurant that my colleagues and I would always go to. One of my favorite dishes was its spicy basil chicken rice plate—perfectly steamed and fluffy jasmine rice coupled with ground chicken meat infused with aromatic Thai basil leaves. It was delicious, with fine balance of fiery hot and savory….

Pad See Ew

Pad See Ew

If you are a fan of Thai food, it’s very likely that you love Pad See Ew, or Thai-style fried flat rice noodles. Many readers have asked for the recipe, so today, I have a Thai native Jam as a guest writer. Based in Austin, Jam is a Thai cooking instructor and the brainchild behind Thai-fresh (a Thai cooking school…

Indonesian Sate (Sate Babi and Sate Ayam Bumbu Kecap/Kacang)

Please welcome Rita of Mochachocolata-Rita as a guest blogger on Rasa Malaysia. Rita is an Indonesian who currently resides in Hong Kong. Whenever I visit her blog, I feel “jealous” that she is constantly traveling and eating around Asia (she loves to shop, too!).  As a true Indonesian, Rita shares with us her mouthwatering and tantalizing sate recipe, and outlined…

Mushroom Chicken (蘑菇鸡)

Mushroom Chicken (蘑菇鸡)

As much as I love cooking, I don’t—and can’t—cook every day. If you are a home cook, I am sure you understand what I mean. Some days, you wake up, open the refrigerator, look at the ingredients you have, and your mind just goes blank. You either feel like you run out of cooking ideas, don’t know what to cook,…

Salt and Pepper Chicken (盐酥鸡)

Salt and Pepper Chicken (盐酥鸡)

One of my favorite places to eat is Taipei. Taipei reminds me of my hometown Penang, mostly because of a similar spoken dialect and the fiercely celebrated street food culture. Walk down the many small alleys and bustling night markets in Taipei, you are sure to find many great eats in a city that is obsessed with food. Salt and pepper…

Nabe (Yosenabe/Japanese Hot Pot)

Nabe (Yosenabe/Japanese Hot Pot)

Fall is in the air, even here in Southern California. Days are getting shorter and cooler. These past few days, the sky has been dull and wintry and this morning, it rained. I start craving foods that keep me warm—soups, hearty stews, and hot pots. To me, nothing tastes quite as invigorating and uplifting than a meal of simmering hot…

Yakiniku Recipe (Japanese BBQ)

Yakiniku Recipe (Japanese BBQ)

Yakiniku (焼き肉) or Japanese grilled meat/BBQ is my favorite. I love playing with my food. When I was a child, I often engaged myself in masak-masak (literally means cook-cook in Malay language)—a childhood cottage cooking game where I would “steal” ingredients from my mother’s kitchen and then cooked them into “food” using candles and kid’s cookware. I had the whole…
