Print PDF The great Malaysian north-south culinary divide comes into play with this dish, which I, as a Seremban-southerner grew up knowing simply as Hokkien Mee. It wasn’t until many years after leaving Malaysia that I was made aware that Hokkien Mee in KL-Seremban meant something quite different to Hokkien Mee in the northern state…
Print PDF I’ve been making and distributing a range of frozen Prepared Meals since my business launched, and in the last couple of years I have added a selection of Curry Pastes, Sides and Condiments. My target demographic – busy families who like the option of having some meals they can simply heat and serve…
Print PDF There are lots of cendol recipes out there, but the technique, which usually involves scraping cooked batter through a colander, always meant I ended up with stumpy bits rather than green worms. This was until Johari, my fellow ex-Malaysian and glorified trolley pusher (as he himself described his then-job as a flight attendant)…
Print PDF I was going through the range of products in my online Jackie M Shop recently and realised it had reached 95 items. This doesn’t even include the hot dishes in my restaurant menu – I had deleted the entire category when I closed it back in May 2013 (side note – please stop trying to…
Print PDF I feel the need to reiterate this because unlike my online followers, most of my “real world” customers still think “restaurant” and not much else when they think of me, despite my Concord establishment having closed for nearly a year now – but one of my many activities is to run regular Google…
Print PDF I’ve had Ipoh Kai Si Hor Fun back when I was growing up in Seremban, but I was more familiar with the “dry-style” ie. “kon-loh” version from this particular kopitiam in my hometown, as opposed to the soupy variety. (Funnily enough I have yet to encounter the kon-loh version in Ipoh itself, so…
Print PDF As featured in my Hangout On Air – Noodles: Introduction First off, and I’m sure I’ve mentioned this in the early days with this blog – I write my recipes and post them on the fly; there’s no “massaging” involved, so they’re invariably going to be a bit rough. Also, I cook based…

Print PDF If you’ve been following my Google Hangouts (YouTube channel – http://youtube.com/jackiemsydney for past episodes) and my recent radio interviews, you’ll know I’ve been working on ideas to incorporate Malaysian Flavours into your everyday (read: Western) meals. Malaysian cuisine is an original form of fusion food after all, drawing its influences from the various…
Print PDF aka Malaysian Flavours Hangout On Air 2 – Kaya Ovens don’t feature prominently in Malaysian kitchens – a point painfully brought home to me when I twice needed to do some baking over the last week. Kaya (Malaysian Coconut & Pandan Jam) was involved on both occasions – more specifically, Kaya Bread and Butter…
