Live Cooking Videos From My Desktop (Lenovo Legion 7 Review)
What kind of setup do I use to do my live cooking broadcasts? Here’s a look at the laptop I currently use.
Durian Fest Sydney 2021
Want to know a secret? Several years since quitting Orange Grove Markets, I’m still adjusting to not having to get up at 4am every Saturday morning. It still feels strange for me not to be loading up my vehicle and rushing to get to the market to get set up and start cooking. Weekends now…
Malaysian Heritage Cuisine and THAT Eggplant Sambal
It was the morning of LAUNCH DAY – the culmination of months of planning, meetings, negotiations (some more intense than others) – and I woke up to a message from my one remaining volunteer (the previous one backed out a couple of days prior) to say she wasn’t going to make it after all. Today…

10 Ways The Thermomix Is Great For Asian Cooking
In all the years I’ve cooked Live On Air, I’ve elicited more comments about the Thermomix TM5 behind me than all my other kitchen gadgets and utensils put together. I usually brush these off by telling my audience that it’s really just a multi-function kitchen unit and that I mostly use it as a glorified…
Lenovo Yoga Active Noise Cancellation Headphones – Review
About 2 weeks ago I received a set of Lenovo Yoga Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) headphones to review, which was pretty timely because if you’ve been following my live cooking videos you’ll have noticed the loud chirping noises courtesy of the birds on my balcony interfering with my broadcasts of late (I think they’re…

Nasi Lemak-Udek-Campur-Kandar-Tumpang-Tumpeng – Part 1

Singapore Ranked #1 For Best Street Food; Singaporeans Wonder Why
Another week, another hilarious error of culinary judgement by people who clearly have no right to be paid for their food “expertise”. We all remember the legendary “crispy rendang” episode of MasterChef UK, where the judges eliminated Malaysian contestant Zaleha Olpin because her chicken rendang skin wasn’t crispy (which is like giving your friendly Italian…
Japanese Cooking Classes In Japan
If ever you’ve wondered why I don’t post Japanese recipes, that would be because I don’t cook Japanese food (I love eating it though). Which is why I adore the concept behind airKitchen, a service that provides foreign travellers with a chance to visit an ordinary Japanese family, learn to cook from the host, then…
Kontiki Restaurant @ Federal Hotel KL
I always tell new travellers to Malaysia that the best way to experience Malaysian food in all its glorious iterations and in air conditioned-comfort, is via the in-house restaurant buffets at international hotels. The variety is mind-boggling and the quality is usually top-notch. I had the chance to visit Federal Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s Kontiki Restaurant…
Lenovo Smart Display for Hands-Free Cooking
(Disclosure: I received this device to review as a member of the Lenovo INsiders Program. All opinions are my own.) A few weeks ago, I was sent a Lenovo Smart Display to evaluate. Never having owned any smart devices before, I wasn’t sure what to expect and how much use I’d get out of it….
