Crab Bee Hoon (Crab Noodles)

Crab Bee Hoon (Crab Noodles)

During my most recent trip to Singapore (in April), my friends took me to Melben—a popular restaurant famed for its crab dishes. When the waiter came to take the order, I knew that I had to try crab bee hoon, a dish that I had read so much about on Singaporean food blogs. The crab bee hoon was served in…

Japchae (Chap Chae)

Japchae (Chap Chae)

Japchae (also spelled as chap chae) is the first Korean dish I tried. Believe it or not, before I came to the United States, I had never had Korean food. Growing up in Malaysia with all its glorious local cuisines and family’s home cooking, I seldom tried other cuisines…plus there weren’t many international restaurants back then. I first had Japchae…

Taiwanese Scallion Oil Noodles (葱油拌面)

Living in Southern California, in the city of Irvine where lots of Taiwanese expatriates congregate, I’m spoiled by the many great Taiwanese restaurants and eateries.

Taiwanese food is…

I have been so busy recently I can hardly find any time to have a breather. If you’ve been following my blog and Twitter, you will know that working on my cookbook has pretty much consumed all my time. As a result, I have been eating out more, and cook only when time permits. In the past, I would always attempt…

Rad Na (ราดหน้า)

Rad Na (ราดหน้า)

Recently, my good friend S has been tempting me with the best rad na in her neighborhood. All the rad na talks had me craving for it that I had to get my fix. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet found a remotely worthy Thai restaurants in Orange County, which is very sad and I have pretty much given up dining out…

Penang Hokkien Char (福建炒)

Penang Hokkien Char (福建炒)

Did you watch The Amazing Race Penang episode last night? Catch it here if you’d missed it. I haven’t been home to Penang since last June so I have been craving all sorts of Penang hawker/street food, including Penang Hokkien Char—a stir-fried noodles dish in a savory sauce and served with a dollop of sambal belacan at hawker centers. A…

Cantonese Fried Noodles (Pork Chow Mein)

Cantonese Fried Noodles (Pork Chow Mein)

Hong Kong is one of my favorite places in the world. Since my first visit with my family when I was 18-year old, I have fallen in love with the exquisite Cantonese cuisine.
