Kampung Fried Rice (Village-style Fried Rice)
•
I used to work in an office building which had a cafeteria on the 3rd floor. Before my days of intermittent fasting, my colleagues and I would quickly stop by the 3rd floor to get our daily breakfast to go and eat together in the office pantry. One of my favorite breakfast items is…

Soto Ayam (Indonesian Chicken Soup)
•
It’s been quite a while since I had a good bowl of soto ayam. It’s the end of the year and the weather has been quite wet and gloomy. Having a steaming hot bowl of herbal chicken soup and all the fixings would surely hit the spot. The few I ordered recently from different…

Chinese Fried Rice

When I was a lot younger and was visiting my big brother in KL, he used to take us to the hawker food center in Uptown. There were plenty of stalls to choose from, but I still wasn’t so adventurous with food at the time. So, I usually ended up ordering Chinese fried rice…

Curry Noodles
•
During the Covid pandemic, I made curry mee for the first time. Eating out was simply not an option, and sometimes we really wanted something different than the usual rice and side dishes. A few years would pass before I started making it again. Che Nom dropped her new Ipoh-style curry noodles recipe video…

Chicken Miso Ramen
•
Rudy loved Japanese food. He missed sushi the most, as consuming raw/ undercooked foods was not advised when undergoing his treatments. As much as we could we still tried to have our Japanese food fix, and ramen was one of the things we wanted to have more of.

Chicken Chashu Chahan (Fried Rice)
•
I still had some chicken chashu leftover but not much ramen left to use it as a topping, so I resorted to the most common thing Asians would do with leftovers: make fried rice!
