June 12, 2018 by
This, folks, represents my culinary raison d'être - the world famous Seremban Beef Noodles, otherwise known (in Cantonese) as Ngau Lam Fun; one of countless childhood memories that finally lured me away from IT consultancy and into food full-time some 17 years ago.

The reverse is also true - some ingredients with the same name actually mean different things in different countries. This is one example - Vietnamese Saté Sauce - which is a » Read More
How to Make Seremban Hakka Noodles (Non-Pork Version)
August 17, 2017 by
My aversion to pork means I’ve rarely explored the cuisine of my own Hakka heritage, which seems to be dominated by pork dishes. This is one such example, made famous by a stall in my hometown of Seremban, hence its name - Seremban Hakka Noodles. Since I don’t eat pork, I’ve never actually eaten it.
