Sate Lilit Bali Recipe

Rasa Malaysia — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:47:00 +0000

Sate (Indonesian spelling) or Satay (Malaysian spelling) is one of the most loved foods in Southeast Asia. Today, I have the talented Dhi at Cooking Etcetera as a guest writer on Rasa Malaysia. In collaboration with Pepy of Indonesia-Eats, both of them will be writing about “Highlights of Indonesian Cuisine” and start the series with Indonesian sate. I am personally...

Deep-Fried Fish and Seafood Galore

Rasa Malaysia — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 04:21:00 +0000

One of the things that I miss most about Malaysia is the availability of various kinds of little fishes in the market; little fishes that I grew up eating, little fishes that need no special recipes, little fishes that taste like heaven when deep-fried with just a little salt and turmeric powder or tamarind, little fishes that are so crispy...

Weird Seafood

Rasa Malaysia — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 03:38:00 +0000

While Asia is the best place to savor some of the freshest seafood, I encountered some weird ones recently in Sai Kung, Hong Kong (a mecca for seafood lovers). Alive, moving and slimy feeling sea cucumber. I have tasted dried sea cucumber, but not a slug like this…(view more weird and creepy sea creatures after the jump. WARNING: they are not...

Seeking Thai Po Tak Recipe

Rasa Malaysia — Fri, 02 May 2008 03:04:00 +0000

I am looking for the recipe of Po Tak, a sour and spicy Thai seafood soup. I had this slurpylicious Po Tak at “Spice I Am” at Surry Hills, a very popular Thai restaurant in Sydney.

Rasa Malaysia — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 08:49:00 +0000

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 even find similar offerings in...

Seafood Curry Recipe (Malaysian Indian-Style)

Rasa Malaysia — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 23:45:00 +0000

Remember I told you that I hardly ever make my curry from scratch because there are many good curry pastes readily available in Malaysia? Go to any markets or stores one can find various selection of curry pastes–they usually come packaged in small plastic bags. All you have to do is adding your meat or seafood to the curry paste...

Angel Hair Pasta with Seafood Recipe

Rasa Malaysia — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 02:22:00 +0000

My old roommate in San Francisco A taught me how to make pasta. When we were living together in the bay area many years ago, I was in charge of making Malaysian and Chinese food in the kitchen, while A excelled in western food. She made killer mash potatoes (from scratch!) and great pasta. While we didn’t indulge in seafood-loaded pasta...
