This post was originally written to correlate with a different broadcast covering crispy noodles and fried wontons, and it contained the corresponding video embedded from Twitch. I found out a couple of weeks ago that Twitch videos are automatically archived after 2 months, which meant the original video would have been non-playable after that period. I made…
Despite being Hakka I’d only ever had Hakka Pan Mee in a broth; this was my first attempt serving it “dry-style”, which involved using the same dough recipe from the soup version which I’d previously shared, but this time cut into thin strips as opposed to pappardelle-style. I was also going in blind with this…
More than a few people over the years have been horrified to learn that I freely share all my recipes with the world. The reasons I do so can be boiled down to my belief that 1) there’s nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9) 2) there’s a lot more that goes into running a…
This curry laksa recipe (minor tweaks notwithstanding) is courtesy of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, where the production crew and I stayed during our Street Eats Journey shoot in 2014. Curry Laksa INGREDIENTS: For the soup – 2 onions, pureed 10 cloves garlic, minced 250 fresh big chillies, blended 50g dried shrimp, soaked and…
I didn’t set out to make Vietnamese Banh Cuon but I was hoping to test out different rice noodle recipes in this broadcast to see how they turned out texturally with different ratios of tapioca flour to rice flour in the batter. As it turned out, the one for Banh Cuon was my favourite, hence…
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve run Twitch broadcasts based on dishes I’ve previously posted here on this blog. Instead of rewriting the recipes for each of them, I figured I might share the links to the original posts here, for your reference >> Hakka Yong Tau Foo Click here for the Hakka Yong…
Well, some light relief after all that #TelstraFail saga; this was the Battle of the Bots episode. If you engage with me on the Chat at Twitch, you might have noticed a third party bot (ie. automated software) called RevloBot that intermittently posts links for people to check out how many points they have acquired…
#TelstraFail Season 2, Episode 3 So right after my 6-dropout broadcast, I called the Westfield Miranda Telstra store where I’d signed up for the service days earlier. Explained the symptoms to the woman on the phone, who responded – no worries, just bring it back in we can run some tests on it here since…
#TelstraFail – Season 2, Episode 2 In Episode 1 of Season 2, I signed up for a new Telstra service because of my burgeoning need for more livestreaming data. Since then, my connection has dropped out mid-stream each time I’ve connected to the Netgear Nighthawk M1 modem that comes with it. In the Live Asian…
Before this “high priestess of Malaysian cuisine” gig, I was a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, Cisco Certified Network Administrator and a Certified Novell (“que?” – ask the millennials) Administrator. So far, the cause of the mid-stream dropout during my last broadcast could be any one of the following – faulty modem, faulty sim card, or…
