Mandarin Orange Recipes: Zen Wellness Cake, Sorbet & Marmalade
(Updated Version)
Every year, those mandarins start rolling in like
an unexpected gold rush. You know the drill- people you barely see suddenly
become your best friends, just as their surplus of mandarins is about to turn
into compost. They play it sly, waiting until they’ve exhausted all other
options and then “generously” pass on the citrus burden to you. It’s a guilt
trip wrapped in orange peel, hitting all the right notes of “Indian sentiment,”
though oddly enough, you’re never on their invite list for Chinese New Year festivities.
Ah, cultural quirks in Malaysia! It’s a dance of exchange and expectations. Deepavali might have you knee-deep in preparations and guests, but when it comes to Chinese New Year, you get the oranges and the occasional cookie—no dinner invites or grand feasts for you.

Chinese Prawn Recipes: 4 Varieties
Prawn dishes are not a regular feature in my house; they’re more like a once-a-month treat. However, having cooked for so many years, I’ve prepared a variety of prawn dishes, including Chinese prawn varieties. What I like about Chinese dishes is that they are quick to cook, provided the ingredients are prepared and ready near the wok (PRAWN SAMBAL NYONYA STYLE).
Red Rubies in Coconut Milk: Dessert Recipe
(Updated Version)
From my journeys across Thailand (CHIANG MAI ENRICHING TOUR), I’ve experienced the rich diversity of Thai cuisine, savoring everything from fiery tom yam to tangy salads (TOM YAM TEMPTATION). But one dish that always leaves me craving for more is the delightful Thai dessert, Tam Tim Krob - better known as "Red Rubies." While you can easily find this gem in Thai restaurants in Malaysia, there’s nothing quite like making it yourself, though my first two attempts were anything but disaster.
Imagine my excitement in Thailand when I tried to recreate the dessert after a local shared some insider tips (BANGKOK SOLO ADVENTURE). I confidently headed back home, but alas, my red rubies crumbled. Not one to give up, I turned to online resources and tried again - only to face yet another failure. It was on my third attempt that I finally cracked the code.
