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 I’m going to be doing 3 of my favourite activities this coming weekend. All at the same time. I love travel, and I’m travelling to Melbourne courtesy of Tourism Malaysia Australia. Everyone knows about my passion for Malaysian cooking, and I’ll be doing that while I’m there. The other thing I like…

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 All Aboard The Steamboat It’s the New Year and it’s time for me to ‘fess up. I have a phobia – I can’t read about myself or watch myself onscreen. All these newspaper articles, blog reviews, etc. – scanned them through very briefly at best. Usually I just check that the photo…
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…
