While Kuih Kaswi and Kuih Lompang share similarities, Kuih Kaswi is typically chewier, whereas Kuih Lompang is denser and often steamed in cups, making it a unique indulgence. As you indulge, remember to enjoy mindfully. A little goes a long way (BANANA DESSERTS: PANCAKES & COCONUT).

Bitter Gourd Recipes: Omelette, Stir-Fry, Soup & Sambal
Today, however, we’re focusing on showcasing Chinese bitter gourd. This variety is typically lighter in color and comes in various sizes, often larger than the Indian version. When using Chinese bitter gourd, it only makes sense to feature it in a Chinese-style dish. I must admit, I haven’t tried incorporating it into Indian recipes, but today’s focus is all about the classic pairing of bitter gourd and eggs in an omelette.

Kerabu Taugeh Recipe - Bean Sprout Salad
I love all things kerabu. It’s a Malay no-cook salad, with spectacular varieties - both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Kerabu is the first thing I go for when dining at Malay eateries, and the best ones come from the unassuming Malay stalls. Malay no-cook salad instantly awakens your palate, revealing bold, profound flavors (VEGETARIAN KERABU MANGGA/MANGO SALAD).

Peanut Cookies & Fa Sang Woo: Classic Treats with a Twist
No matter the festival in Malaysia, peanut cookies
are a beloved treat that everyone looks forward to. Whether it's Chinese New
Year, Hari Raya, or Deepavali, these cookies are a staple among the festive
offerings (NYONYA PINEAPPLE TARTS). Nowadays, buying peanut cookies is a breeze, with countless options
available, including homemade varieties.
I made peanut cookies for the first time during Chinese New Year, curious about the so-called "secret" recipes. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts with online recipes, I wondered if the impressive photos and popularity of these recipes were misleading. However, after some trial and error, my homemade cookies turned out fabulous (SUJI COOKIES).

Crispy Bitter Gourd Chips & Sri Lankan Karavila Salad Recipes
(Updated Version)
Growing bitter gourd aligns beautifully with Nava’s
Zen philosophy. The glossy, dark green fruits are stunning but don’t last long,
prompting a cycle of growth. After initial setbacks, I’m ready to cultivate
them again.
Cultivating bitter gourd is straightforward - you can either dry the seeds or use them directly from your cooking. To my delight, seeds from my kitchen have sprouted new plants.
