Madeleine Recipe

Rasa Malaysia — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:58:08 +0000

I am a Costco (a wholesale mega store in the US) junkie. I love shopping there and one of the items I often purchase from Costco is madeleine—an adorable shell-shaped French cake/cookie well loved by many. Even though I love madeleine, I have never attempted to bake them at home. First of all, I am not a great baker and madeleine...

Remember Shao of FriedWontons4U who recently shared her shrimp dumplings (har gow/虾饺) recipe with us? She is back with another guest post today and is serving up some delicious looking homemade wheat mantou (馒头), with step-by-step pictures!

How time flies. It was just like yesterday when the world was gearing up for Y2K bug and the potential millennium meltdown; fast forward 10 years, we are counting down to 2010, and 45 days left on 2009. It’s almost that time of year again…(get butter cookies recipe after the jump) I might be slightly early this year in terms of baking, but...

Ever since I set eyes on Annie’s marble cake post, the image of her rich, buttery, chocolaty marble cake has made quite an impression on me. Annie is a superb baker and she once shared her aunt’s butter cake recipe with me that had me oooh and ahhh for the delicious great taste. I know her marble cake recipe will...

Pound Cake Recipe

Rasa Malaysia — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:30:04 +0000

I am a bad passenger, airlines don’t like me. I am a magazine hog who snatches every in-flight magazine, pile them up in my seat, never return them back to the rack, and then I rip off interesting pages on these magazines. (Oops, did I just confess my dirty secrets?!) Yes, I am one of those passengers that flight attendants and fellow...

Rasa Malaysia — Fri, 29 May 2009 14:57:41 +0000

I went to Tianjin (天津) today, a city east of Beijing and a mere 30 minutes away by high-speed bullet train. It’s a city with lots of history but I came here mostly for these baozi and to check out the food scenes here. Goubuli baozi (狗不理包子) is famous in China with branches all over mainland China. The original restaurant was...

Banana Pancakes Recipe

Rasa Malaysia — Tue, 12 May 2009 01:32:51 +0000

Once in a while, I like making healthy breakfasts, for example, banana pancakes with maple syrup, topped with my favorite berries. Nothing beats waking up and having a feel-good breakfast that is loaded with all the nutrition one needs for the rest of the day–protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and more. I am not a big fan of traditional pancakes; I...
