5 Things You Don't Know About Me
2007-02-06 04:04:27
I got tagged by Simcooks and Chowtimes on this meme in a space of a week even before I could get mine done! It’s nice to know that people have you in mind…or rather, people are curious about you and want to know more about you. I shall try to keep this meme on [...]


Pork Omellette
2007-02-05 06:01:56
  What’s that up there? Just a simple pork omellette. I was at two minds whether to post this ridiculously simple recipe over the net. I am sure this recipe is known by so many people and it bothers on embarrassment to put it up here. But then again, so are most of the recipes here, [...]


Braised Noodles with Stewed Pork Slices
2007-01-31 05:01:30
  Braised Noodles with Stewed Pork Slices is again, one of my experiments. Setting up this blog has resulted in me having to experiment with new recipes so that I can keep up with my postings! Haha!   Before you go “wah!” about this dish, let me tell you first that it is more a dish / recipe [...]


Ikan Bilis Snack
2007-01-30 09:08:59
  Ikan Bilis Snack is not really the original name of this dish. Actually, I don’t have a name for this dish because for as long as I can remember, mum merely said “Tau Yu Kang He” (meaning “Dark Soya Sauce Anchovies / Ikan Bilis”). As the name connotes, this bunch of ikan bilis is given [...]


Mee Suah Kueh
2007-01-26 08:32:19
  Mee Suah Kueh is my wife’s recipe. In fact, many have not heard let alone seen this “cake” which is made using Mee Suah. The mee suah used in this recipe is the one manufactured in Muar, Johor which comes in little packets with red banner. There are about 4 pieces of mee suah in [...]


Mee Suah Soup
2007-01-25 04:03:38
Mee Suah Soup is one of my favourite noodle soup. Mee Suah, which is usually sold in dried form, is made from rice flour and is very brittle in uncooked form as the strands are really thin. This dish is more or less an automatic dish for breakfast on the first day of Chinese New [...]


Stir Fried Asparagus with Prawns
2007-01-24 01:30:56
I like asparagus very much and it’s a really healthy vegetable (if you can stand the smell). In chinese cooking, I think asparagus and prawns are like a match made in heaven. Some cooked them in belacan but I prefer mine simple with garlic. Less oily, I guess. These asparagus I bought from the [...]

Stir Fried Crunchy Four-Angled Beans with Fish Sauce
2007-01-23 09:37:39
I bought a small bottle of fish sauce recently though I have never used fish sauce in my cooking before. In fact, I don’t even know what it tastes like. Having bought and tasted it straight from the bottle, it was kinda slight saltish in taste. Anyway, this dish was yet, another experiment for [...]

Baked Beans with Minced Pork and Potatoes
2007-02-06 08:08:10
  Baked Beans is not Asian. I don’t think it is. But I’ve seen some of the rice shops here in Kuala Lumpur which serve baked beans cooked with other ingredients. This is just one of the many variants and it adds a bit of difference to the usual baked beans.   You can eat this with white [...]

Stir Fried Hong Kong Kai Lan with Prawns
2007-02-07 03:38:28
  I like Hong Kong Kai Lan (chinese kale). This vegetable is tender and crunchy to the bite and is not as “fibrous” as the usual Kai Lan. I do wonder whether these Hong Kong Kai Lan are genetically modified to its current size since it looks like a baby kai lan. Even the Hong Kong [...]

Corn Soup
2007-02-08 02:16:30
  Corn Soup cooked at home differs from family to family. Some use corn from cans. Here, I use fresh corn bought from the wet market. It imparts a natural sweetness to the soup, which I think is much better than those from tin cans. My elder daughter loves this soup very much and also enjoys [...]


Stir Fried Beef with Ginger and Spring Onions
2007-02-09 02:05:57
  This is my very first foray into stir frying beef. After taking inspiration from Simcooks, I proceeded to the supermarket, bought myself some beef flank slices, spring onions and ginger and did this. As I did not memorise her recipe, I more or less guessed the seasoning involved. There was an added bit of [...]

Chilli Garlic Tofu Snack
2007-02-12 07:09:39
  Chilli Garlic Tofu Snack is just a name I use to describe this dish because I am unaware whether there is an original name to this dish. Just like the Ikan Bilis Snack, this is another one of those easy to cook yet delicious food. And extremely affordable too.   The garlic gives this dish an aromatic [...]


Pork Ribs in Plum Sauce
2007-02-13 04:19:23
  This is a dish cooked in a slow cooker without adding water. I mustered courage to cook this dish after Babe_KL did her version. The first version I read about was from Food Haven. The marinade used by both of them are different from mine as I was keen on experimenting with something new.   Cooking pork [...]

Stir Fried Celery with Prawns and Straw Mushrooms
2007-02-14 10:32:43
  I am quite fond of celeries. This vegetable is highly fibrous and good for health. When made into celery juice, it does reduce the bad cholesterol of some patients. But I don’t really like celery juice because it tastes rather funny. Saltish, I would say. Most of the time, I would just stir fry the [...]

Have you heard of Peter ’s Pork Mee in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur ? Let me tell you, my boss swears by it! He has been eating this guy’s pork mee ever since he was a kid staying in Brickfields. Not everyday but at least once a fortnight. He said it was difficult not to think of Peter’s Pork [...]

Klang Bak Kut Teh
2007-02-16 10:28:30
Life as a litigation lawyer can be exciting at times. Food wise, I mean. I get to travel to different towns in Malaysia, some of which I have no idea where they are on the map of Malaysia. Anyway, I travel to Klang Court once in a while and it’s been more than 2 years since [...]

Hokkien Mee at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Kuala Lumpur
2007-03-02 02:51:01
Fiery action I have heard so much about this Hokkien Mee stall in Kuala Lumpur but did not get a chance to try it until last Wednesday evening. Many people have told me about how good the Hokkien Mee is and how the flames from the charcoal stove will capture your attention. I tried taking [...]

Red Bean Soup with Mandarin Orange Peel
2007-03-05 08:00:44
  Lilian gave me a very difficult task just before Chinese New Year. I was supposed to do something with the skin of Mandarin Orange s. Just see what she skilfully did with the skin of Mandarin Oranges. The thing is, the “trick” I am supposed to do with the skin is so difficult that I have [...]


Kong Bak with Ho Hup Pau
2007-03-06 04:24:30
  What is Kong Bak? I suppose you can generally call it Pork Belly Slices in Dark Sauce. What sets it apart is that it is wedged between a bun called Ho Hup Pau (Pau meaning Bun) and eaten just like a kebab. Simcooks has been pestering (reminding, ahem!) me for this recipe. She [...]


Sugar Snap Peas with Tiny Anchovies
2007-03-09 09:43:05
  After all the excesses from the last fattening recipe, it is time to go for moderation a bit. Hence, this recipe of Sugar Snap Peas with Tiny Anchovies. And these tiny anchovies are probably the smallest fish that is served on people’s plates. For hokkiens, we call them “ghun he”. I don’t know what they [...]


Belacan Miding
2007-03-12 03:26:02
Fancy a dish of paku miding or miding fern? I tell you, it is absolutely delicious! So far, I have not encountered it in the markets in Kuala Lumpur but it is available in Kuching, Sarawak. If you were to ask me to choose between Belacan Kangkong and Belacan Miding, I will go for the [...]

Stir Fried Leek with Roast Pork
2007-03-15 07:48:53
What do you do with left-over Roast Pork? Well, you can stir fry them with leeks. The combination of slightly saltish Roast Pork with the slightly sweet leek makes this dish very delicious indeed. It is pretty simple really because your only aim whilst cooking this dish is to stir fry the leek till [...]

Abalone Appetiser with Chilli and Garlic
2007-03-19 09:39:37
Abalone is a sought after food item for the Chinese community and it is prized for its claimed nutritional value. Scientists are still figuring out whether abalones are indeed high in nutrition but for me, unless you eat it everyday, eating it once a year won’t make a difference to your health. Abalones are [...]

Stir Fried Long Bean Medley
2007-03-21 07:49:59
Actually, to be honest, I’ve no name for this recipe. The recent Chinese New Year was the first time I’ve tasted this dish when my mother-in-law cooked it and I fell in love with it. It is a stir fry involving the use of long beans, chai poh (preserved turnip), prawns and cashew nuts. When [...]

Wo Tieh (Shallow Fried Dumplings)
2007-03-23 05:50:50
Wo Tieh is also known as Shallow Fried Dumplings . Some call them Pot Stickers because they are fried on shallow pans. These are not the same as wantons because they use thicker skin and is a flatter, more oblate, double-saucer like shape (similar in shape to ravioli), and is usually eaten with a ginger-soy-vinegar [...]
