Malaysian Food Fair

Makcik making Kuih Kapit (Nyonya's crispy love letters biscuit)

I still remember clearly on last year's Masterchef when Poh, the runner-up decides on a theme for inventory test challenge. She chose Malaysian as a theme and everyone else was shocked and didn't have a clue what Malaysian cuisine is, I sill remember Julie the winner was panicking and she ended up cooking something more like Thai food.

Har-Mee aka Prawn Noodle

Malaysian cuisine is quite complex and kinda hard to define due to the diversity of it's multi-ethnic population of Malays, Chinese, Indian, Nyonya, Eurasian and Indigenous people of Borneo. Every ethnic group has their own type of food and almost every state has their own signature dish. If you happen to travel to Malaysia, you'll find yourself in the cross road of choosing what to sample, because there are just way too many food to choose from, the sky is the limit in when it comes to Malaysian food, best of all they only cost you around $1.50 for a meal.

Dao Vien Vietnamese

Image
While we all know not to expect too much of spectacular experience when going to an Asian Restaurant, except for fast and tasty food. It doesn't bother me much if they were not providing top notch service or the tables were sticky, or using chipped crockery, as long as the food is good. Unfortunately ... Dao Vien is not like the others.  An empty restaurant with tired looking decor  Walking into the restaurant for lunch, immediately gave me a weird sense of vibe. It was hot and stuffy, I wondered if it was open as there were no other customers during lunch peak hour. We waited long for the lady owner to notice us and gave us a table. It was a huge place with lots of table but majority of the small table have dirty dishes that were left uncleared. Dirty tables all around us Well, first impression didn't quite make the cut, we were feeling uncomfortable and intimidated. Several negative thoughts were running in my mind, "did we just walked into a bad restaurant?&quo

Self-heating can of latte?

Image
Mom bought something "rather interesting" for me the other day, thought that I might want to try. Yes, a can of self-heating latte! I've heard of self-heating instant noodle bowl from Japan and also self-heating teriyaki chicken but never tried it myself. I'm not sure how popular this self-heating latte is, obviously I've never heard of it as I thought it is way to easy to get a cup of coffee anywhere in the world, be it a good cup of espresso or a rather ordinary cup of filtered coffee or maybe just get a can of nescafe from the vending machinece near you, but you get the caffeine kick whenever you want it anyway. So, on this rather ordinary day, I finally took up the courage and try it! Read through the complicated sounding instruction given (not at all complicated anyway, just sounds intimidated), read through the warning sign given, it sounds dangerous to me to activate the can.  Ok, so frist, turn upside down, remove seal on base of can and press acti

Happy Mid Autumn Festival

Image
It was Mid Autumn Festival/ Mooncake Festival/ Lantern Festival for every Chinese out there. It is also a day to reunite with your family; to chat, eat, drink tea and play lantern under the perfectly round moon. I have lost count on how many Mid Autumn Festival I've missed celebrating with my family. This year was one exception, I got to eat mooncake, drink tea, play lanterns and candles with my family. You'll never feel too old playing lanterns. When we were a lot younger back then, we used to play with candles, making it into a fire stove and started cooking with dried leaves where we picked up at the garden. Well, now that we have all grown up, we don't play with fire anymore, but focus more on decorating the garden with colourful paper lanterns. Mooncake - Pandan with double egg yolk Eating mooncake is a must-do in this festival, you wouldn't feel completed if you didn't have one. We used to fight with each other for the biggest portion with biggest
