Cold Soba Noodles

After enjoyed all the good food on Christmas parties, my body does not feel right. Maybe we have eaten too much meat- turkey perhaps? ;PSo I have decided to cook up the macrobiotic dishes.

My diet consists of 80% vegetable & carbohydrate (veggie, fruits, rice, tofu), V.S 20% of meat (fish, chicken,Egg & pork only).This cold soba noodles are lean & healthy. Of course the...

Baked Salted Chicken

This is most probably one of the best baked salted chickens that we have had for the past few years. Aun Kheng Lim Ipoh Salted chicken is really delicious. I guess that is because they use more high quality kampung chicken & Chinese herbs (dong guai) etc. The chicken is baked to perfection & it was so delicious. I would strongly recommend whoever pass by Ipoh should stop by & get one of those chicken. You will not regret it.Pls check...

Wakame & Tofu Miso Soup

When I do not have enough time to prepare soup, I always make this “super fast” soup for my 5 years old. She is a typical Chinese, she must have soup for dinner. Chinese soup is categorized as clear soup. It is very different from the creamy & thick mushroom/pumpkin soup. It normally needs to simmer for at least 4 hours on slow heat. The weekend is always very busy. All the cleaning up …washing…cooking…grocery shopping etc… I do forget to prepare...

Wedding cake decorating

It is interesting to know how to pipe a proper flower, how to manage the fondant, how to arrange a 3 tiered wedding cakes, how to cakes for any events eg. kid’s birthday, wedding, party, anniversary, Christmas….etc.Most of the time, I only decorate my homemade cake with simple icing & piping flowers. Personally, I don’t really like to EAT icing because it is...

Foh Sum Ipoh Dim Sum

Today, I can't agree more that Foh Sum Ipoh Dim Sum probably serves the best dim sum in Malaysia. A Ipoh friend told me that, Foh Sum initially was good in the 90s, then the quality & service start to deteriorated, then improved again. I guess some of the famous restaurant will have to go through this cycle. As of my visit to Foh Sum today, their dim sum was good and fresh, and the speed of service is excellent (dimsum is no fun when orders are...

Oven Dried Tomato

Personally, I prefer savory pastry more than sweet pastry. Savory is for adults & sweet is for kids. No doubts, it is a very clear sign that age is catching up. Oven dried tomato is easy to make. It is very versatile to use in many ways. You can use it in salad, bread making, pizza or pasta. The taste is very similar to sundried tomato with a bit of smoky flavour. Instead of sundried, I oven dried it in a more control environment. The Italian...

As usually, sesame works well in sourdough bread after long hours of fermentation.For the burger, I love to use pork patties. I would strongly recommend the An Xin's (安心) pork patties. It taste like a real pork meat minus all the unnecessary chemicals, unnecessary starch, unnecessary flavouring...etc.It is good for kids. We have to understand that most of the...
