I’m about to share how you can transform Chilli Chicken (MALAY CHICKEN RECIPES) into something entirely new, while keeping chillies and chicken as the stars of the show. Whether you prefer fresh red chillies or dried ones, this versatile dish is all about bold flavors and personal touches. For a typical Malaysian like me, chillies are essential, adding that spicy kick I can’t live without.

Penang Food Guide: Where & What To Eat
Passions
Of Kerala (Taman Brown, Gelugor)
As the name suggests, Passions Of Kerala serves up traditional Kerala cuisine, made from scratch. For lunch, the obvious choice is a banana leaf meal. Along with rice, you'll get curries, chutney, pickle, and side dishes. We also added fried fish, mutton parathal, and chicken parathal. As we dug in, we agreed it was a decent meal. However, the bold flavors didn’t really wake up our taste buds or leave a lasting impression.

Kuih Buah Melaka
Let
me take you on a journey into the world of Kuih Gula Melaka, a delightful
Malaysian treat that holds a special spot in my heart. Originating from Melaka (MALACCA FOOD FIESTA),
it's also known as Ondeh-Ondeh in some parts of the country. Imagine this - small, sticky rice balls filled with palm sugar syrup, all coated in fragrant
grated coconut. It's a heavenly mix of sweetness and texture that always leaves
me craving for more.
Now, if you're thinking of trying your hand at making Kuih Gula Melaka, let me share some tips I've picked up along the way. It's been a while since I last whipped up a batch, but every time I do, it feels like reconnecting with an old friend. First things first, make sure your dough isn't too sticky - trust me, you don't want a gooey mess on your hands. Wetting your palms can make shaping the balls a breeze. And whatever you do, resist the temptation to stuff too much palm sugar inside. Overdoing it can lead to cracked balls, and nobody wants that. Oh, and don't forget to chop the palm sugar (WAJIK PULUT/GLUTINOUS RICE CAKES) into tiny pieces for maximum sweetness in every bite.
Indian Cauliflower Recipes - Vegetarian
Did you know there are so many recipes you can create with cauliflower? It used to be quite expensive, but over the years, it has become more affordable. Traditionally, cauliflower is stir-fried with spices in Indian recipes or added to curries—both of which are included in this sharing. But that's not all! I’ll also share other exciting dishes you can make with cauliflower.

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.
