I first discovered Aapplemint a few years ago and it was love at first sight. I was mesmerized by the gorgeous food photography, her mouthwatering recipes, exotic travels, and most importantly, the uber-talented Kajal/Kate who has the most beautiful face. Needless to say, Aaaplemint remains one of my favorite food blogs and it’s with great pleasure that I have Aapplemint...

Caramel Shrimp (Vietnamese Tom Rim)

Rasa Malaysia — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:35:50 +0000

When it comes to one ingredient that I consume more than anything else in the world, it has to be shrimp. I love shrimp and I can eat it every day and for every meal. I am addicted to it. When I had caramel shrimp at Cat Restaurant in Little Saigon a few weeks ago, I fell head over heals in...

Char Kuey Teow (炒粿條/Penang Fried Flat Noodles)

Rasa Malaysia — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:30:50 +0000

When it comes to Penang hawker food/street food, there are a few dishes that are chart-toppers: Penang Assam Laksa, Hokkien Prawn Noodles, and Char Kuey Teow. It’s hard to decide which one is the most popular, but if you go to Penang, you won’t—and don’t want to—miss these three stellar hawker food. Char Kuey Teow is basically flat rice noodles stir-fried...

Thai Curry

Rasa Malaysia — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 07:36:35 +0000

Thai curry is gaining popularity thanks to the many great Thai restaurants in the United States. Making a great bowl of Thai curry to go with soft and fluffy jasmine rice is easier than you think, even though you might not be familiar with Thai ingredients. I love all sorts of curry but I find Thai curry one of the easiest...

Shrimp and Chive Dumplings (韭菜虾饺)

Rasa Malaysia — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 06:21:12 +0000

When it comes to cooking or eating, I am very spontaneous. It’s about what comes to mind at the very moment when I am hungry–a recipe from a cookbook, a mouthwatering picture online, or a sudden craving. These shrimp and chive dumplings were a result of browsing two sinfully delicious posts: Use Real Butter’s chive dumplings and Andrea Nguyen’s Asian...

Tamarind Prawn (Assam Prawn)

Rasa Malaysia — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:57:49 +0000

Tamarind prawn or assam prawn is a Malaysian-Nyonya recipe, one that I grew up eating as my late mother made a killer dish of assam prawn, or “assam heh/亚参虾” (in Hokkien dialect). While most Nyonya recipes call for long list of ingredients and tedious preparations, tamarind prawn (assam prawn) is surprisingly easy to make and takes only a few ingredients: tamarind,...

Sambal Udang or prawn sambal is a very popular Malaysian dish and there are many different recipes available. The one I love the most is my late mother’s sambal udang recipe, a very simple prawn sambal dish that I will share with you all one day. My second favorite will have to be my friend Salt and Turmeric’s authentic Malay...

Satay Prawns (Prawns with Spicy Peanut Sauce) Recipe

Rasa Malaysia — Fri, 23 May 2008 21:09:00 +0000

A few months ago, I made some satay peanut sauce from scratch, remember? I made so much that I still have the leftover, contained in a small bottle, silently and sadly sitting at an obscure dark corner in the fridge. I’ve almost forgotten about it until I cleaned my fridge the other day. The thing about satay peanut sauce is that...
