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.

Chicken Congee: One-pot Recipe
•
Kak’mbang used to make the best Chinese-style chicken congee. Typically, congee is simply plain rice porridge which we pile on with various toppings, but her version was a very flavorful one-pot meal full of meat and veggies. Mummy used to have this every day for breakfast, and Kak’mbang provided an endless supply of it.…

•
This recipe from XiaoGaoJie (小高姐) came up in my YouTube feed and looked super interesting. I finally busted out my KitchenAid Artisan mixer, and made both the dough and the filling using it.

Sweet & Sour Chicken Luncheon Meat with Potatoes
•
Recently Rudy ordered a few items from Lolili’s Delights, which sells halal Chinese delicacies like bakkwa, chang, stuff that was completely inaccessible to us in the past. Among the few things we bought was the luncheon meat, and I wasn’t sure how best to use it. Searched online and found this really simple, yummy…

Chinese Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Eggs
•
I usually leave our daily meals to Kak’mbang who is an amazing cook (but of course she denies it for some reason), where we usually have a few meat, veg and/or egg dishes with plain white rice. On rare occasions I contribute a dish to the table, and today I made a simple egg…

Wonton Noodle Soup
•
I love dumplings, and I love noodles in soup. To me at least, they are the ultimate comfort food. When both are combined into a single, yummy dish, that just takes it to the next level. Imagine a gloomy, rainy night, tucking into a large steaming bowl of soupy noodles topped with wontons bursting…

Char Siu Buns (Chicken version)
•
I love dim sum. Dolly Dim Sum, Luk Yu Tea House and Lai Po Heen are my favorite places in KL for good dim sum, but unfortunately it’s not often that I get a chance to enjoy their food. One of the typical dim sum I would order are the BBQ chicken buns, or…

Chicken Char Siu with a Pressure Cooker
•
One of my favorite things to order whenever I go for dim sum is their BBQ chicken buns, or char siu chicken buns. There are a number of good halal dim sum places in KL, but we rarely eat out anyway, so meals there are few and far between usually. Here’s my first attempt…

Pau Dough: Make Your Own
•
It’s been a very long time since Kak’mbang and I made pau. Back when we were still living in Terengganu, every so often we would buy boxes of Blue Key flour and make chicken mushroom pau. Kak’mbang made the filling and I was on pau dough duty. Freshly steamed buns would then be sent…
