When a Michelin-trained private chef writes about food, you know it’s gotta be good and that’s exactly what Zen Chef at Zen Can Cook (previously known as Chefs Gone Wild) delivers–a food blog choked full of scrumptious dishes that rival the finest and best restaurants around. Zen is always wacky, hilarious, and I admire his cooking and wicked writing style (read this guest post and you’ll know what I mean!). He always provides great entertainment to his readers through his blog so you really have to check out his now spankingly new blog. Please welcome Zen Can Cook and his grilled shrimp and green papaya and mango salad to Rasa Malaysia. I am not sure about you but my stomach is growling at the very sight of this visually pleasing and utterly tantalizing dish. And Zen, you can be my private chef anytime!

When the lovely Bee over at Rasa Malaysia asked me to guest post on her beautiful blog I almost freaked out. Rasa Malaysia isn’t a blog. Rasa Malaysia is a mammoth of a blog! Me, I’m just a mice of a food blogger who lives in a hole in a dark corner of the internet. This is one of the first blogs I discovered when I started blogging about two years ago and one that shines bright in the blogospheric firmament. Needless to say, I feel very honored to be here in front of Rasa Malaysia’s audience and I promise to do my best not to break anything in my short stay here. To make the best impression I can even offer to vacuum and take out the garbage after I’m done. Hmm.. Excuse me.. sir!?.. err.. Fine!.. I will mop the floor, too! I do not want to be mauled by a mob of hungry RM fans! The old paper bag trick took care of my hyperventilation, I did my affirmations and half a bottle of Tequila later I think I’m finally ready for the spotlight. Let me tell you,  this is more pressure than having a Michelin starred chef looking over your shoulder. Let’s start shall we?

Truth be told, I don’t cook as much as you think I do. And, perhaps much to your disbelief, I don’t eat as good as it appears to be. Well, not every day.

Like many of you who has a busy and hectic lifestyle, I eat too much unhealthy food, for example: instant noodles or ramen. My pantry is constantly choked full of various kinds of instant noodles: imported ramen noodle from Asia and my favorite American cup noodles. The alarming thing about eating ramen noodle is not about the noodle, but the fact that I’m addicted to the flavoring packet in every single ramen: Penang laksa, Thai tom yum, curry, miso, and so on. I always slurp the MSG-loaded and “sure-to-make-you-bald” (my late mother used to tell me) ramen noodle soup to the very last drop…

I am back to the normal posting cycle and most importantly, the comfort of my home.
Let’s just say that I am just very happy to be home, so much so that I was practically lying there on my bed and couch for the whole weekend–doing nothing and consuming only Indomie instant noodles but still feeling [...]
