		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I go home to Malaysia, I would always stuff myself crazy with all sorts of kuih (local sweet or savory cake). One of my favorite is or kuih, or yam cake made of yam (in the US, yam is referred as taro). I have never attempted making kuih in the US though. Today, I have invited a fellow Penangite Su-Yin Koay of Bread et Butter to share the savory and mouthwatering or kuih recipe. Bread et Butter is a beautiful blog with many recipes: Malaysian, Chinese, baking, and all sorts of goodies. You can also find culture guide articles bout Malaysia, Penang, etc. Please welcome Bread et Butter to Rasa Malaysia and do visit her wonderful food blog. Now I could only wish that I have some or kuih for my tea break today! I was very excited when Bee asked me if I would like to write a guest post for her blog–I mean, this was Rasa Malaysia, one of my favourite food blogs out there! She’s taught me so much about Malaysian and Chinese cooking, and it is truly an honour to have a chance to do this. One of the things I’ve always enjoyed eating is yam cake (“or kuih” in Hokkien, where “or” = yam, “kuih” = snack or cake). It is a popular snack amongst the Malaysian and Singaporean communities, and is basically a steamed kuih made from yam pieces, dried prawns and rice flour. It is then topped with deep fried shallots, spring onions, chillis and dried prawns, and usually served with a chilli dipping sauce. I grew up eating my grandma’s or kuih, and I remember thinking how it would be so cool if I knew how to make it. However I would always be at school when she made or kuih,...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yam or taro is a root vegetable that I love to eat. There are quite many ways to make yam (taro)—sweet as in Bubur Cha Cha, sweet yam paste (or nee), or savory as in Yam Rice. My late parents loved Yam Rice and I am glad that I&#8217;d acquired the liking for this dish. In my family, we almost never had yam rice at home so I didn&#8217;t know how to make yam rice until my mother-in-law came visit us a few years ago. She taught me how to make this easy one-pot dish and now, I whip it up whenever I am lazy to cook. In Penang, yam rice is often sold by Yong Tau Foo hawkers and it&#8217;s the very reason why I fell in love with it  because I am a huge fan of Yong Tau Foo. Imagine a bowl or two of aromatic yam rice to go with the different varieties of fish balls, fish paste stuffed inside tofu, chili, okra, and more; it&#8217;s simply delectable. Here is my yam rice recipe. If you have an electric rice cooker at home, you will be able to make yam rice rather painlessly. I also made some Yong Tau Foo which I will share the recipe with you soon. My friend Noobcook had just made her version of yam rice with Chinese BBQ pork (char siu), check it out.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best things about eating in Malaysia is the different kuih available&#8211;literally means &#8220;cake&#8221; but comes in different shapes, forms, textures and could be sweet or savory. Sold by street vendors, hawkers, peddlers and also available in specialty kuih shops, kuih is very popular as a light snack and can be eaten anytime of the day. I underlined &#8220;anytime of the day&#8221; because it does seem like we Malaysians eat all the time. With so many good foods available, anytime is a good time to eat! Anyway, I wanted to introduce you to Or Kuih or Yam Cake today. In Malaysia, Taro is referred to as Yam. Or Kuih is basically steamed savory yam with flour. Topped with dried shrimps, chopped scallions and fried shallot crisps, it&#8217;s best served with chili sauce&#8230; My favorite Or Kuih stall is found at Lam Heng Cafe at McAslister Road, Penang. It&#8217;s the same place where you can find the famous Sister&#8217;s Char Kuey Teow (read the review here). The Or Kuih is available from late morning to early afternoon. To learn more about Penang street food and its best offerings, do check out this website. I personally use it to get the most up-to-date information about Penang hawker food.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Be it &#8220;can&#8221; (pronounced the American way), or &#8220;can&#8217;t&#8221; (pronounced the British/French way), I am heading to Cannes in south of France tomorrow. I know, I am really a lucky one. Other than Cannes, I will also check out Nice, St. Tropez, and Monaco (Monte Carlo). I am getting myself a nice little rental car to explore around. Nice, very nice! I will probably be MIA&#8211;but hey, do check back on Rasa Malaysia as I might well surprise you with a post or two from the French Riviera. For now, I wanted to share this very exceptional dessert with you, Or Nee (Taro/Yam Paste) Puffs which are practically to die for. Don&#8217;t believe me, ask Robyn and Dave at Eating Asia for their objective opinions&#8230; If you are in Penang, or will be going to Penang, do yourself a favor. Go dine at my favorite Chinese (Teochew) restaurant in Georgetown called Goh Huat Seng (I have previously raved about it here and here) and ask for these after you savor their oysters and steamboat. Not many patrons know about these Taro/Yam Paste Or Nee puffs, but considered the secret revealed. Too far from Penang? Don&#8217;t fret, you can make these at home by combining two of my recipes into one: Recipe: Taro Dessert (Or Nee / 芋泥) Recipe: Curry Puff (Without the curry puff filling, that is.) Happy eating and stay tuned for my complete food reports and travel photography from south of France.]]></description>
