Steamed Pork Mince with Salted Duck Egg – 咸蛋蒸猪肉

January 14, 2010 Chinese

I slowly discover that I have complicated things, especially in cooking. Looking back at my recipe archives, most of the recipes involved a lot of ingredients and a million steps to follow, which usually half a day to prepare one dish. What happen to the simple quick toss on the wok? What’s wrong with the [...]

There are some home cookings from Malaysia that I really miss. But I am also having troubles locating a few essential ingredients even if I bother to cook that authentic dish myself. Pandan leaves for instance, it is hard to come by in the area where I live. But in Sydney, heaps of them! I [...]

Secret life of Street Food in Malaysia

August 31, 2009 Dessert

HAPPY MERDEKA DAY!
Today is Malaysia National Day! Of course we have to celebrate with some local food, especially street food!
