Steamed Egg

10 comments
After eating all that yummy steamed food in Restoran Steam Fish & Steamboat, I was inspired to reproduce these favourites of mine. I started off with steamed egg. You will find this steamed egg dish in almost any establishment offering Chinese cuisine here. I've made this on several occasions  but had a little fun with it this time. If you have been following me on my other accounts in...

Food Discovery : Steamed Food at Restoran Steam Fish & Steamboat and Meeting Chef Sam

8 comments
When it comes to steamed food, it's not just a 'health thing'. It can be as delicious as you want it to be depending on the ingredients and sauce put together.   We ordered our lunch at this restaurant on a Groupon deal we had purchased online. A couple of glowing press clippings were plastered on the wall near the entrance where we sat. The same man, who was featured on the newspaper...

Spicy Cheddar Scones

4 comments
I've got Abbe (Abbe's Cooking Antics) to thank for introducing me to scones. It was one of those 'things' I skipped at afternoon teas because I was sure it couldn't beat the likes of peach tart, scrumptious sandwich or decadent cake. After trying this recipe out, I realised what I had been missing out on. Spicy Cheddar Scone These days, I don't hesitate to make a tray of my own, and I like...

Dry Potato Curry

2 comments
If I'm cooking a potato-laden dish, I make it a point to eat it with a balance of meat and vegetables. Rarely is rice included. This recipe, however, is excellent with rice. Carb-heavy? Yes, but it compliments each other very well. Eaten with a bit of rasam (soup) or dal (curry), this  would pass for a 'perfect dinner' in my household. I am torn in between doing the right thing and piling...

Mung Bean With Honey And Papaya

6 comments
One of the girls in our cooking group said,"Let's do dessert this weekend!". Several of us responded with an enthusiastic yes! A packet of mung beans was pulled out of the kitchen cabinet. I knew what I wanted to do, a sweet soup dessert with sago pearls ... like always. "How predictable!" the thought crept in and it dug deep. I was egged by it into doing something I never tried before - and that...

Food Discovery : Ipoh's Snacks

4 comments
Ipoh, land of Bean Sprouts Chicken (Nga Choy Kai) and Flat Rice Noodles (Sar Hor Fun). It's the tastiest there is but that's not all Ipoh has to offer. Ipoh has yummy snacks that have people queuing for a taste. Standing in line for a long time is not something anyone looks forward to but when you're as curious as us or a die-hard food fan, determination wins. Like a good soldier, my partner Eve,...

Slow Cooked Ginger Kampung Chicken

2 comments
It's also known as Sigun in East Malaysia and Malay chicken in other parts of the world.* I was ecstatic. They were selling whole kampung chicken at a tag of RM3.50 in Tesco. It's usually priced between RM15-RM20. The due date was the next day. I thought, "Why not?" I'm always looking out for bargains and here it was. That's me - I complain when it's too expensive. I'm suspicious when it's too...

Drying My Own Herbs : Pandan, Curry and Kaffir Lime Leaves

6 comments
I am guilty of purchasing a packet of fresh pandan leaves only to use one piece for a recipe that called for it. What did you do with the rest?I did what comforted me. I told myself that I will make more warm desserts or plonk it into my rice cooker to clear it off. Reality is, I never get round to doing it because I always end up with a different menu than what I had planned for clearing off my...
