| Asam Pedas Ikan Kerisi |
| 2012-02-03 22:43:14 |
This is one of the popular main dishes in Malaysia besides curries and sambal. Having a slight influence from the Baba and Nyonya cusine, this dish is supposed to be a little bit hot and sour. It uses bunga kantan and daun kesum, two main ingredients that make a good asam pedas. Without these two ingredients, asam pedas will not be perfect. Do try!Ingredients2-3 Kerisi Fish2 big onions, pounded6 fresh red chillies, pounded4 lemon grass, pounded2 bunga kantan, halveda handful of daun kesum1 inch belacan or dried shrimp paste, pounded2 Table spoon dried chilli paste1 cup tamarind juicesalt, to tasea pinch of sugar, optional2-3 cups wateroilMethods1.

| Nyonya Laksa |
| 2012-01-27 21:59:12 |
I have cooked nyonya laksa a few times before. My first encounter with nyonya laksa was when I was in my secondary school. The canteen operator cooked a marvellous creamy and sour laksa that look very much like a thin curry broth. I had no idea that it was nyonya laksa not until I grew a bit older. Some might mistaken it for curry noodles, but they are extremely different in taste and texture even though they use the same puff soybean curd and fish balls to name a few. I got this recipe that I would like to share with you. And trust me, you will be asking for more! Enjoy!Ingredients1000 ml coconut milk½ kg fresh Prawns, remove shell and coarsely choppedHandful laksa leaves (Daun Kesum), choppedHandful coriander leaves, chopped20 Fish Balls20 Bean Curd PuffSalt and sugar to tasteprawn sto...

This is one of my favourite cakes. The first time I sampled this cake when I was an undergrad at University Malaya. We had an annual Art Exhibition which got some of my artwork exhibited and one of my colleagues baked this delicious cake for us all. Since then I have always wanted to try to make this cake but as time was flying by, I almost totally forgotten about it until recently when I got the recipe from a friend of mine. This was my first attempt of making this cake and voila! It turned out well!

| Malay Style Fish Curry |
| 2012-01-27 01:54:32 |
This is a typical Malay style curry that you can get at any Malay home. We make the curry similar to how the Indians do it with the exception of coconut milk. Whereas the Indians do not put coconut milk in their curry, the Malays do love coconut milk in their curries. But you can also substitute the coconut milk with plain yogurt or evaporated milk or even omit them altogether if you are watching your calories. Do try!Ingredients2-3 fish, cleaned ( you can use any fish you like)3 garlic, sliced thinly1 inch ginger, sliced thinly2 big onions, sliced thinly2 strands of curry leaves4 table spoon fish curry powder2 table spoon mixed herbs (halba), optional2 fresh tomatoes, halved6-8 ladies fingers/okra300 ml thick coconut milk1 cup tamarind juicesalt, to tasteoil1 cup waterMethods1.

| Malay Style Apple Salad |
| 2012-01-21 22:29:51 |
One thing that I like about Malay Salad is that it has a lot of varieties and beautiful ingredients that distinguish from one salad to another. Not only you can take the salad with rice and other delicacies, you can also eat the salad on its own. I love many kinds of salad from the banana's heart salad that you mix with coconut milk and other herbs to bean sprouts salad mixed with pounded and roasted coconut. I have here a very simple salad that you can try at home. I am sure you will make even more Malay salads after this! Enjoy!Ingredients3 green apples, cut very thinly2 table spoon dried shrimps, fry in a pan with no oil and pound until smooth3 lemon grass, sliced very thinly4-6 bird's eye chillies, cut thinly4 kaffir lime leaves, sliced thinly1 big onion, sliced thinly1 lime juicesalt and sugar,to taste1 bunga kantan, sliced thinly1 tablespoon apple ciderMethods1.

| 2012-01-19 00:22:00 |
Meat Besamah or Besamah Daging is quite similar to meat curry except some extra addition to the ingredients like lemon grass and pounded coconut paste or locally known as kerisek. The gravy is a lot thicker and best eaten with glutinous rice or lemang even bread.

| Banana in Sweet Coconut Sauce (Pengat Pisang) |
| 2012-01-11 08:45:04 |
Banana! What can I say about this tropical fruit. It is healthy, full of potassium that is good for our health and variable in taste and sizes. They can be as big and long as a tusk or as small as our thumbs...Well, maybe slightly bigger. But what matters most, banana often be the choice of many of us as they are easy to find. Besides eating them raw, we also fry them with batter, mash them to make delicious dumplings, wrap them in a banana leaf and grill them or turn them into sweet dessert the local way. Me and my family always love to eat bananas. Often they would disappear very fast before I can savour some for myself. The kids would pick one by one banana and would leave me with the skins. When I got a few bunches of bananas recently, I started to think of pengat pisang, or bananas th...

| Fluffy Pancake |
| 2011-12-22 07:21:12 |
My kids simply love pancakes. Normally, the pancakes would not reach the table by the time I finish with the cooking. I was looking at some old pancake photographs from my computer when my niece saw some of them and she quickly requested me to make some pancakes for her. She is staying with us for two weeks during the school holiday which will end until the first week of January. So, as not to disappoint her, I agreed. So, I prepared this very easy and simple fluffy pancakes that I learned from a friend of mine and they turned out great! Enjoy!

| A Happy Get Together! |
| 2011-12-19 04:48:01 |
It would be very seldom that me and my siblings and in laws would eat out together because normally we would either eat at home or have takeaways. But this time, I gave the suggestion that we all should spend some time to eat at a good hotel or restaurant as a big family and had a different ambiance to our dining experience. The idea started when I took my two kids to a breakfast buffet at Hotel Sri Malaysia in Taiping a week ago and I thought since my brother and his family were coming, we should try the buffet. But the idea to take them to the same hotel changed as my sister in law was worried if her kids would not be able to get up too early in the morning since it was a school holiday. So, we then decided to take lunch instead at a hotel by the lake called Flemington Hotel.The food was...

There are times when you do not feel like eating anything hot or spicy much more food with high in fat and make you full to the brim. After having too much or curries and kurma, I decided to make fish soup that is simple for the whole family. My kids love sipping soups and although we do not make fish soup as often as chicken soup, this dish is simple, mild and soft for the stomach. Also suitable when you have a fever and could not take any solid food or anything spicy. So this meal will be perfect for that!
