Chicken Curry Pau

As we all know, bao or baozi are steamed buns originating from China. Perhaps through cultural transfer and assimilation over centuries via trade and migration, in Malaysia we have a local variant of steamed buns, called pau. Malaysian pau are quite distinctly local, with either sweet or savory fillings such as coconut jam, red…

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…

Cantonese Kway Teow
•
My mom really likes Madam Kwan’s Cantonese kway teow. She tends to order Cantonese kway teow anyway whenever we eat out and if it’s on the menu, but highly likely she’ll say other places can’t compare to the one at Madam Kwan’s. I agree with her opinion.

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.

Cheesy Sausage Rolls

Honey Butter Biscuits (Texas Chicken Copycat)
•
At one point in 2022, I went into a biscuit-making craze. I made various biscuit recipes, revisiting my Cheesy Garlic Biscuits, as well as trying out Joshua Weissman’s take on Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits (But Better). Wondering what else I could try making, I thought about Texas Chicken’s honey butter biscuits. Why didn’t…

Dynamite Seasoning (Flavor God Copycat Recipe)
•
Faizal loves a particular spice mix from Flavor God called Dynamite Seasoning. He usually sprinkles generous amounts of it onto chicken wings, then air-fries them. Unfortunately, it seems like this product has been discontinued and no longer available anywhere. So for quite a while, he left the last precious few teaspoons of it untouched,…
