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…

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.

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…

Vietnamese Duck Noodles in Soup (Mi Vit Tiem)
•
Back when I was living in New Haven, I used to frequent a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant called Pot au Pho. Especially on those cold winter afternoons, mi vit tiem, egg noodles with braised five-spice flavored duck and shiitake mushroom, was my go-to order. I think the restaurant has closed down now, and even here…

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 Yakisoba
•
I really like yakisoba. Back when I was a student living in Nagoya for over a year, every few days we’d walk down the road to the neighborhood supermarket to get groceries, and prepare our own meals in the dorm kitchen. One of the things I’d pick up from time to time was a…

Curry Noodles
•
I love mi kari. I love them a specific way, where the broth is creamy but not too rich or thick, with a good mix of toppings but not overboard or trying too hard. I also like the broth to be flavorful and bursting with umami, which I imagined should come from some form…

Make Your Own: Yellow Noodles (Mi Kuning)
•
Been craving noodles. I generally love soupy noodle dishes and noodles in general, but I never really liked store-bought yellow noodles, or mi gemuk as I liked to call them. I find them to have a very unpleasant aftertaste, and some are so full of boric acid and lord knows what other additives, I…

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…

Murtabak Maggi
•
Back in boarding school, every year the Form 4 seniors would organize a food carnival to raise funds for their Graduation Night. Every class would set up stalls selling all sorts of food, from the normal stuff like pasta or nasi goreng, to the more creative stuff like banana with Milo drizzle (my first time learning that…
