This whole week is going to be full of festivities and food with Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration. For the Muslims, Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrates the conclusion of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim friends.
This post is to celebrate the diversity of Malaysian food. Being a Malaysian, my food & cooking have been influenced by Malaysia’s multi ethnic nation – mainly Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Nyonya cuisines. Born & bred in Penang, hawker food or street food is so easily accessible. To most Malaysians, Penang is a food heaven destination.

This is one of my mama’s ingenious recipe – Ribs with Soy Bean in a slow cooker. According to my mama, this recipe was adapted from Pai Kuat (steamed spareribs with black bean sauce) that is available at any dim sum restaurants. Everyone in my family love this dish. It’s one of those no-brainer recipes for lazy days. You can throw all this in slow cooker before going off to work and you will have a ready dish when you get back home. Continue Reading →
In my post 3 days ago, I wrote about my challenge in posting regularly, been having occasional writer’s block. And thus my decision to post what I cook daily – mostly Chinese & Asian recipes for lunch or dinner. These are the food I grew up with.
Stir frying is one my frequently used technique, it’s fast & simple. My usual ingredients are vegetable of choice with meat. Yesterday I had Beef Broccoli Stir Fry – preparation & cooking time takes less than 10minutes, serve with brown rice for lunch. Continue Reading →
Yes, that’s right; you heard me right. Creamy, soft-serve style ice cream with just one ingredient — and no ice cream maker needed. What is this one magic ingredient that can be whipped into perfectly rich and silky ice cream, with no additional dairy, sweeteners, or ingredients needed whatsoever?
A very common & one of my favourite fruit – BANANA!
What? You didn’t know that bananas can make some of the best ice cream? Well, I didn’t either until a few weeks. Continue Reading →
We Malaysians are blessed with abundance of local tropical fruits, especially this time of year (June-August). I usually just eat the fruits as it is. Recently I have this realisation – Why not incorporate the fruits in my cooking and be creative with it.. So this is my first of my many FRUITY post to come..
Papaya is very common in my fruit diet and my mama would bring papaya from my grandparent’s house (they have 2 trees) whenever she visit me. I adapted this recipe from Allrecipes.com – Papaya stuffed with yogurt, raisins, fruits and walnuts. I am glad that I have the ingredients (always have a tub of homemade yoghurt in my fridge) and super easy to whip up – only takes me not more than 5 minutes. I used the fresh fig that I bought recently, actually any soft fruits would also do – like banana. I won’t even call this a recipe because it’s just mix & eat. Continue Reading →
