Pineapple Tarts for Chinese New Year – 凤梨酥/黄梨酥

February 1, 2010 Baking

The Chinese New Year is only two weeks away and I’ve been a very busy man slaving over hot stove (or oven) lately. Last year we had friends coming up to the Central Coast and we had so much fun celebrating the new year with a 9-courses Chinese dinner banquet. And I am doing it [...]

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 [...]

Chairman Mao Restaurant – Kensington, Sydney, NSW

November 30, 2009 Chinese

Chairman Mao is from the Hunan province in China and he loved his red-braised pork (紅燒肉). He even had his personal chef preparing this Hunanese dish to satiate his cravings. This dish has become his legacy and now Sydneysiders are able to try this dish at a Hunanese chinese restaurant in Kensington and undoubtedly the [...]

Stir Fried Belacan Winged Beans (four-angled beans)

November 17, 2009 Chinese

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 [...]

Dragon-i (籠的傳人) : 1 Utama Mall, PJ Malaysia

August 24, 2009 Chinese

A familiar sight of chefs in clinical white uniforms, complete with mouth masks; kneading dumplings away behind the aquarium glass tank. They called themselves the descendants of the “dragon” or phonetically – the “steamer basket”, as that’s what Dragon-i is famous for, steamy Xiao Long Bao.
Like Din Tai Fung, Dragon-i is another restaurant chains that [...]

Dinner banquet @ HillCity Restaurant – Ipoh, Malaysia

August 19, 2009 Chinese

Don’t blink.

If you blink, another square of crispy suckling pig will be “y-oink”ed and vanished from the plate before you know it. Suckling pig, banquet dinner, family reunion and mum’s birthday – any excuse would do to get myself back to Malaysia for some gluttony action with the family.
You know you have a big family [...]

Old Town White Coffee Cafe – Ipoh, Malaysia

August 14, 2009 Beverages

In the modern, fast-paced (and westernised as a matter of fact) Malaysia, the first thing you will notice is food franchise outlets popping up everywhere! Majority of the chains are US franchises like Macdonald’s, KFC, Kenny Rogers, and Marry Brown (comes with seatings hang from the roof like a swing), Chilis just to name (seriously) [...]

Funny Mountain – Ipoh, Malaysia

August 8, 2009 Beverages

Are you a Michael Jackson fan? Me too!
But my Michael Jackson is different from your Michael Jackson, well… at least my Michael Jackson is drinkable and slurp-a-licious. This Michael Jackson drink (I actually learned about the MJ name from Almost Bourdain) also known as Black and White drink which I blogged about a while ago. [...]

LNC Dessert House – Sussex Street, Sydney

July 10, 2009 Dessert

It is ChocolateSuze’s craziest birthday do with a truck load of foodbloggers shoved into a tiny room at Wagaya. The whole night was rather a blur and chaotic – food with no names are shared, well at least the quick hands got some, the slow hands got none. Hence some of the hungry hungry hippos [...]

Dennis’ Dinner party

July 8, 2009 Chinese

The aromatic chicken curry is cooked to perfection, tender chicken pieces with soft golden potato nuggets in a thick curry sauce. The thin layer of chili oil on top is already a promising sign that I am going to love this dish without even having to taste it.
“How did you make your Curry Chicken, Mr [...]

Super Bowl Chinese Restaurant – Chinatown Haymarket, Sydney

June 22, 2009 Chinese

One dish after another, a carnivore’s dream comes true.

On another hand, the way how I was brought up, always told by my parents to just have a little of each dish to go with a big mouthful of steamed rice. On this occasion, I have to make exceptions. Whenever I dine with the two white [...]

Istana Restaurant – Thornleigh

June 1, 2009 Chinese

Whenever I am in Sydney, I always try to make the most of my day… and night with good food if possible. On this occasion, my initial plan was to drop by at Alice’s in Thornleigh for some Malaysian Chinese food on my way home with Big D. After being informed by our friends who [...]

Pork & Garlic Chives Dumplings (韭菜饺子)

May 6, 2009 Chinese

Steamed or pan-fried? Why choose when you can have both?
Not sure about you, but there is something so comforting about spending a lazy Sunday in the kitchen, making something that I’ve been craving for a long time. Then just sit back, relax in front of TV and indulge myself with delicious food that I know [...]
