    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)

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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…
