To
be known as a foodie is to embrace culinary adventures, exploring flavors from
all corners, be it the streets or coffee shops. While high-end restaurants
often steal the limelight, it's essential to remember that delicious food can
be found in unexpected places, such as Chinese coffee shops that have
reinvented themselves as Kopitiams (Malaysia's Vibrant Street Food). In this blog post, we revisit K2 Kopitiam,
located in Bandar Rimbayu, a bustling end-lot coffee shop, where we sampled an
array of tantalizing dishes from its diverse stalls.

Bunga Kantan/Torch Ginger: Urban Farming's Culinary Gem
Discover
the captivating allure of Bunga Kantan, also known as Torch Ginger or Torch
Lily - adelightful flower that can transform your urban or home garden (Ylang Ylang) into a
culinary wonderland. This exotic plant not only adds a touch of elegance to
your space but also infuses local Malaysian, Indonesian, and Thai dishes with
its mesmerizing fragrance. Join me as I share my journey of growing and using
Bunga Kantan to elevate my culinary adventures.
Growing Journey and Lessons Learned
A decade ago, my first attempt to grow Bunga Kantan ended in disappointment due to improper soil preparation, causing the roots to rot. Not one to be discouraged, I gave it another shot four years back, this time in a spacious pot. However, the plant seemed constrained, longing for more space to thrive. Deciding to transfer it to the open ground outside my zen space proved to be the turning point, as it began to flourish, rewarding me with its exquisite flowers.

Delicious Homemade Pakistani Biryani: A Vegetarian Twist
Making biryani at home (Burmese Biryani) is not something that
happens every day. It involves a bit of time and effort to gather all the
ingredients, but thankfully, the cooking process is simplified with the use of
a rice cooker (Vegetable Biryani). Occasionally, however, biryani becomes a special treat,
especially when I have guests coming over. Entertaining is a rare occasion for
me, considering the amount of work involved - from cooking to serving, and not to
forget the cleaning up afterward. But this time, I was in the mood for
something extraordinary (Hyderabadi Vegetable Biryani).
