Time flies, August is almost over.

August 31st marks the 51st Independence Day of Malaysia and September 1st is the beginning of Ramadan–the holy month of Islam. To celebrate the two important events in Malaysia, I thought I would introduce you to Kuih Bahulu, a traditional Malaysian kuih (or cake).

These sweet and eggy kuih go very well with coffee, and are always a crowd-pleaser during the festive seasons. A few kuih bahulu and a cup of coffee is a surefire way to greet your guests…

Flan (Crème Caramel/Caramel Custard) Recipe

I will be honest with you…I didn’t make these flans.

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
One of the functions that I seriously enjoy is attending Chinese wedding banquets, which in my opinion is quite a dream come through for serious foodies like myself–well, minus the uninspiring ceremonies and acts such as deafening Yum Seng (bottoms up in Cantonese) echoes and really bad karaoke performance by obnoxious and drunk guests!

This my lemon chiffon cake. I love the lemony essence and the pillowy soft texture of this chiffon cake.

What kind of chiffon cake do you like?
