I love Nobu’s black cod with miso, but it’s not easy to find fresh black cod in the market, at least not in my neighborhood. So I used Chilean sea bass instead. I love Chilean sea bass–the flesh is always so moist, tender, silky, and sweet. I also love the texture and the mouth feel of Chilean sea bass…it’s absolutely perfect for this miso recipe.
As I made the sea bass with its skin on (which can be rather fishy), I added some ginger juice to the marinate to rid the potential fishy smell. I was right, the fatty skin of sea bass was fishy, so consider yourself warned if you try this sea bass recipe…

I have written about Yong Tow Foo a couple of times here and here but here is the real stuff.
Foong Foong’s Yong Tow Foo (Yong Tau Fu) is one of the best in Kuala Lumpur (KL), and I hope my pictures do justice to its fame. This is one of the items that I never miss out whenever I am in KL (Kuala Lumpur). The restaurant is a little hard to find, but once you find it, you will never want to forget it…

This is part 2 of my 5-hour layover in Kuala Lumpur International Airport. You can read all about Part 1 here.
This is Portuguese baked fish (plus squid and clams), found at the obscure corner of Petaling Street/Chinatown in KL. In my opinion, this is the best baked fish/seafood that I have ever tasted. (I can’t [...]
One thing I don’t like about eating dim sum in the United States is the lack of fish ball offerings. If you recall my previous posts about sweet and sour fish balls and yong tow foo, I am partial to fish ball-related foods: deep-fried, stuffed in vegetables or tofu (like Malaysian yong tow foo/酿豆腐), in [...]
Before I start writing this post, I have a confession to make. I have an Asian (Chinese/Malaysian) mouth. In my gastronomic dictionary, it simply means that I can’t live without rice and noodles, soy sauce, sambal belacan, spicy and pungent food–the foods of my Chinese-Malaysian root.
Just this past week, I had a massive Asian mouth [...]

Inspired by Chubby Hubby’s “Not Your Usual Egg Rolls” and “Steam Fish Rolls” by My Kithen Snippets, I made these fish rolls over the weekend.
These fish rolls call for two of my favorite ingredients–fish paste and eggs; they are not sushi, but fish paste wrapped with plain egg omelet [...]

I accidentally deleted all pictures captured when I was going through them on my camera!!! But luckily–BIG phew!–there is this one and only shot on the other flash card (which was full). All other mouthwatering shots were completely erased. Kaput. Gone.
What do you cook when you need to impress your guest(s)? Well, for me, I made this mouthwatering, succulent, and juicy baked sea bass that screams “I am a catch!”
A couple of weekends ago, my buddy Melting Wok came to my house. Prior to her visit, I was thinking hard about the dish I was [...]
