Ubi Kayu (Oo-bee Car-you)or cassava is one of the cheapest potatoes/roots around at 2 Ringgit (US 0.60) per kilo. It became a staple for many when rice became scarce during the second world[...]

PINEAPPLE JAM TARTS

Added 11/03/2010 10:16:00

Some things find you even when you're not looking for them. Like a little tart press.  The little tart press worked like a charm. It stamped out smart little crimped tart shells that[...]

KIMCHI

Kim Chi ~ Tell me how cute a name is that? Bimbim Bap ~ Tell me how cute a name is that? Soondooboo Jiigae ? Kimchi Bokeum Bap ? Have I made my point? And aren't those Korean actors and actresses just as cute too? I know my nieces definitely think they are. And as cute as the name may very well be....kimchi is not a photogenic food, like rendang . It took me[...]

THAI GLASS NOODLE SALAD

Added 03/03/2010 11:42:00

Glass noodles ~ cellophane noodles ~ mung bean threads ~ su'on ~ tunghoon ~ they're all one and the same. Slippery glass threads that are near impossible to scoop up if they were put into a soup. It's not to be confused with rice noodles. It's complete transparency and its feel as it slips through your lips, slides over your tongue and slithers down your throat makes it a very[...]

MUSHROOM PIE

Added 23/02/2010 15:08:00

Here are some not so pretty pies that I made. Hunks. But they taste so good that I had to post. (The one in the picture above is one of the better ones). An odd thing about this pie is that it has a front and a rear end. It's twice the size of a curry puff, is not quite a semi circle, is not a round, is not a square nor is it a rectangle. It has an unname-able odd shape. And[...]

SWEET COCONUT CAKE ~ KUIH BINGKA GANDUM

Added 19/02/2010 16:12:00

I falter at the word cake to describe Malaysian 'cakes' or kuih (pronounced ko-weh) . Ours, in culture, are very much more like the Spanish tapas, like snacks, served and eaten at any time of the day. In taste and texture, most kuih are sweet and when they are sweet they are also sticky, dense and heavy with the heady fragrance of coconut cream and pandan leaves combined. They[...]

KUIH BANGKIT ~ TAPIOCA-COCONUT COOKIE FISH

Added 08/02/2010 13:48:00

Did I tell you a long time ago that I am a fish person? Yes I did ~ I so did. And I am now even more of one.  How could I not love fish when I have these snowy carps swimming around in a dark pool of serenity. Like a floating dream on a moonlit night.  And how could I not love fish when it melts in your mouth after a crunch and a crisp. And when I bite[...]
