MAX MASAK MAKAN

  A friend of mine, Dhiya sent me some frozen smoked duck from Shahrir Suka Makan after noticing my "duckless" duck noodles on IG that day. It would be a waste to use such delectable meat on instant noodles, so I did some search on YouTube on duck recipes. Thai Duck Red Curry with Lychee instantly caught my attention. The rest is history....

What is Ayam Sedap Baq Hang?

  Bought this pack of Colman's seasoning mix out of impulse while I was grocery shopping in Village Grocer, Avenue K. It is a spicy seasoning mix with chilli powder and cumin for the Mexican classic dish.

  Who doesn't love Sago Pudding with Gula Melaka? It is a classic Malaysian dessert made of sago pearls, topped with pandan-scented gula Melaka (palm sugar) syrup and rich coconut cream. It looks easy to make. Let's try it!

One of my favourite Malay dishes from Pasar Ramadan is Ayam Percik. But I didn't get to buy it from Pasar Ramadan last year because of MCO. This year, I am cooking my own Ayam Percik, thanks to MYGROSER's Ready-to-Cook Meal Kit. It is one of the many meal kits offered by MYGROSER, specially curated for the fasting month.  

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. I want something delicious for lunch but easy to cook. The solution came in the form of MyGroser ready-to-cook meal kit for 2 pax. All ingredients with recipe are provided except the sugar. All I need to do is to take them out of the pack and start cooking! No chopping is required. Everything is done under 30 minutes.

  A simple and nutritious soup prepared using the Tefal Mini Rice Cooker RK5001. Serves 1 person. 

  Love the taste of turmeric? You have arrived to the right place - Warung Prima Kunyit! Established in 2018, Warung Prima opened its first outlet in Sogo KL Department Store food court. In the same year, Warung Prima moved to Life Centre at Jalan Perak elevating to a full-fledged restaurant setup. In December 2020, a second outlet was opened in Suria KLCC Signatures Food Court. Thanks to Suria KLCC, we had a golden opportunity to review the best-selling offerings from Warung Prima Kunyit recently. Jom let’s find out what’s nice here!

This is my second attempt to do this viral spicy aromatic rice. My rice turned out to be too wet in my first try. Thanks to the recipe from my friend, Intan Suraya, I finally got it right! 

It is official that we are not allowed to cross borders to “balik kampung” this Chinese New Year, no thanks to Covid-19. So, no reunion dinner with my parents and my sisters for me this year. 

  This is a simple fish curry recipe that I lifted from the back of the Baba's Fish Curry Powder packaging. I modified it to two servings and according to my taste.

  I had a opportunity to revisit The Royal Selangor Visitor Centre again last December to sample Ombak Kitchen’s ocean-fresh dining experience with its ' Pakai Tangan Jer ' concept and irresistible Cajun sauce. As one part of the celebration of Royal Selangor’s 135th year in artistry and craftsmanship excellence, Royal Selangor has teamed up with Ombak Kitchen for a one of a kind hands-on pewter-making experience with a seafood meal at @thecafe at Royal Selangor Visitor Centre for a weekend.

Ikan Terubuk Tiga Rasa! I made this for lunch that day using the frozen pre-cooked fish by @presscookofficial . You just need to thaw the fish and the heat it up for consumption...

I run so I can eat Grilled Butter Chicken by The Chicken Rice Shop (TCRS)! 

  What is Shiroi Ponzu? It is a Japanese citrus based sauce. Rich in seaweed and finished with yuzu, this sauce is given a buttery, garlicky twist for even more umami. It can be used for adding some zing to your salads, as a dipping sauce, or serve with shabu-shabu.

  Thank you to the generous people at Aya Real Food for sending me the recently launched new product - The Striploin and Potato Medley  and the AYA CarePack.  

  Smooth sweet cream cheese filling and fragrant garlic butter crust..... A lethal combination for your diet. Heheh! This Korean cream cheese went viral not too long ago and I thought, why not make it at home during this CMCO period.  I opted for a quick and easy recipe from the internet which I modified using ready made charcoal buns and the readily available ingredients in my pantry. Here are the ingredients... Ingredients 4 buns 100g cream cheese (room temperature) 1 tablespoon condensed milk/ creamer 50g butter (melted) 3 clove of garlic (minced) 1 egg Dried spring onion flakes (The original recipe calls for parsley and basil flakes, but just use whatever herbs you have in the your kitchen)  Mix cream cheese with condensed milk. You can add more condensed milk if you like it sweeter.  I used a garlic mincer. Alternatively, you can chop the garlic as finely as possible. Mix the garlic into the melted butter, add in the herb flakes and then the egg (pre beaten)....

  Each of us deals with CMCO differently. To me, cooking is an escape from the confine of the four walls of my house. The flavours of the food can take me to a far far away place. Reminds me of the places I have been and the food I have tasted. 

  My neighbourhood grocer is having a promo on fresh flower crab this weekend. So, I thought why not I make Maggi Ketam for lunch. Bought a whole crab at RM5.80. Cheap, eh?

I have two bags of frozen berries which were given to me by my sister during the start of MCO. They have been sitting in the freezer for more than four months now. Today, I decided to bake some muffins with them.
