The international trend of pairing jam with cheese (no, I wasn’t aware of it – I’m so Malaysian it hurts) has arrived on Australian shores, just in time for Mother’s Day. Since I’m a big fan of Bonne Maman, I thought I might share some of the suggestions they released courtesy of expert cheese educator…
Back during my restaurant days the common complaint among food bloggers was how strange it was that Malaysian food was under-represented here in Sydney. I always replied with pent-up rage that it wouldn’t be so strange if they knew the amount of work that went into cooking it. (Running a restaurant was a stressful gig,…
I don’t know if it’s the Chinese in me that makes me especially partial towards steamed fish (steamed most things, as a matter of fact) but even if you’re more used to having your fish battered and fried, do give these recipes a shot. They’re quick, flavoursome, easy to make, and kind to your waistline…
This was the episode where I gave away all my trade secrets regarding curry pastes, which I still sell online (though mostly to an elite group of people who’ve been buying them from me since my Orange Grove Market days). I made 4 different types of curry pastes, but will only share one of the…
This tasted great, though a tweak I would suggest is to simmer the fried parcels in the leftover sauce at the end, to add more colour and flavour to it. Alternatively, heat up the sauce to thicken it, then spread it on the tofu parcels. This vegan roast duck reminds me of the skin used…
This is definitely a keeper; I’d only eaten it once before, during a short trip to Kelantan a couple of years ago. I made a tweak in the type of fish used (as is often the case, what passes for cheap and readily available in Malaysia isn’t always the case here in Australia), and I…
I’m not one to sing praises about my own food (usually) but this vegan adventure has really forced me to think outside the box and it’s resulted in a few gems along the way; this was one of them. (Also check out the Vegan Nasi Lemak recipe from a previous broadcast.) As mentioned numerous times…
This was the Nerd Raid episode. Nope, I’d never heard of it either. I’m not sure how much of it showed through via my reactions on video but this was what happened. Right in the middle of my broadcast, my Twitch chat room suddenly got hit with a high level of activity (it’s usually more…
(Based on Kerepek Ubi Pedas Basah) This is based on the Indonesian cassava snack called Kerepek Ubi Pedas Basah which you can find at select grocery stores (here in Sydney anyway). I figured sweet potato is much more readily available here, so I made a judgement call and changed the recipe to sweet potato crisps….
One of my most popular queries concerns how to flip roti canai (aka roti prata if you’re from Singapore) so I figured what better way than to livestream it with a guest in my studio. Host of radio show the Asian Jazz Hour on Northside 99.3FM, Tony Pang, joined me in this episode – and…
