Ha is the number 5 in Thai. So it’s not a typo if someone answers 555 to you, like I thought it was when it happened to me years ago! 

During Chinese New Year, sometimes it may seem like we overindulge in seafood. But the real reason is because their names have auspicio...

Honest opinion. Cooking most dishes with pork drums up the taste Instantly. When I first started cooking, I made luncheon meat fried rice with dried chillies and I felt like I was The Bomb. But like Shaggy says "It Wasn't Me", The Bomb was most probably the spam 🤫....

Which fool visits China in the dead of winter? ME! I was at Banyan Tree Yangshuo and I loved the scenic view of the mountains and greens. It almost compensated for the cold and wet conditions although I admit that it had crossed my mind SEVERAL times to sleep on the he...

Riding on the high from my eggsperiment with the Saffron Prawn Pasta, I was assaulted with a ton of ideas to elevate the recipe. The first thing I thought was, ok, I need-s to dunk it in wine. I was in luck, because a sweet couple dropped by my house post Christma...

This is my latest baby. Born out of love for pasta and prawns, mixed with a pinch of time pressure and laziness.

Quick Storytime: Once, my friend and I dialed the restaurant that we were already seated at just because we were too lazy to get up to get the waiter's atten...

SO, What Did You Do On New Year's Eve?

When you get asked this question, do you feel like you're being interrogated, almost like you need to dress your answer up a little, no a lot, make it banging than it actually was. 

So no, I was determined not to go out and ✌🏻have...

 How could one resist the call of Fried Koay Teow? As I run my fork into the perfectly coated ribbons, I could already taste the burst of flavours in my mouth. In school, we would have this every day for recess break, with every one barking their orders "I want 60 cent...

Bam 💥there you have it, the MVP of this dish is Butter. This was supposed to be practice for my old skool Shakey’s Classic Minced Chicken Pasta for potluck this weekend. 

However ☝🏻, let’s just say I had let the ball drop so I couldn’t use Angel Hair Pasta as int...

Pasta Puttanesca is a fresh-flavoured pasta with an incredible top note. Some like using basil but I prefer Italian parsley, it is up to you really how you want to put your spin on it and best of all, is incredibly easy to make.  

As you may notice, I have added a...

The hallmark of an outstanding Malaysian hawker is his low threshold for BS. 

This is a true story of a grown man approaching his favourite Char Koay Teow hawker:

Friend: Uncle, can I have  one Char Koay Teow, no cockles, no cili for me?

Hawker: (Gets red i...

Recently I attended the YSL All Hours Foundation launch party and the theme was all black. I agonized for a full ten minutes because I don't wear black, my wardrobe consists of greys, blues and whites with smatterings of black. Thank goodness I have created a capsule w...

In the universally-accepted list of adult food consisting of broccoli, celery, liver, intestines, coriander leaves, I'm happy, no ecstatic that beansprouts do not have a place in there.

I know that hate is a strong word. We should have love and light to bounce off...
