Fried Crispy Beancurd Cubes w Fermented Black Beans

Fermented black beans or douchi (豆豉) in spicy mackerel taste so good with porridge. They are the best and my favorite. This canned food is in fact the only food I know that uses fermented black beans. I’ve never eaten any other fermented black beans dish at home (except the one mentioned above) or in [...]

Kam Heong Crispy Lotus Root With Salted Egg Yolk

July 22, 2011

I am fascinated with anything that has to do with salted duck egg because I heart this sinful and yet irresistible golden egg. Fried prawn with salted egg, fried crab with salted egg, fried pumpkin with salted egg and the list goes on… you name it I heart it. Lucky for me, the May-June issue [...]

Easy Braised Pumpkin

July 13, 2011

Pumpkin has never been included in my I-Eat-This list. I know I’m weird. Who doesn’t eat pumpkin right? Mushroom was another example. I only discovered the goodness of mushroom say maybe 10 years ago? Haha! My meeting with a heavenly dish called pumpkin with salted egg yolk changes all that. I eat pumpkin now. I [...]

I was at a Korean shop in town to get my kimchi supply that Sunday mid-morning. Was walking pass a market (next door) when my eyes caught sight of red spinach. I happily bought 2 bundles home; cost RM1.50 (~US$0.50). I rarely see them at the market though. So that must be my lucky day. [...]

Grandma’s Dried Shrimp Sambal

April 7, 2011

Dried shrimp sambal or heé bee sambal in Hokkien is a spicy condiment that is loved by everyone (for those who know the existence of this dish. I can bet about that!). Grandma used to make dried shrimp sambal for us when we were young. But not anymore as cooking time is tedious and slow. [...]

Chinese Cabbage with Dried Shrimp & Beancurd Sheet

I like eating Chinese cabbage but you will seldom see me with it. Why? Because Chinese cabbage is ‘cold’ in nature. Eating lots of it will cause heavier vaginal discharge (sorry guys) and period. This vegetable however is ideal for expelling ‘heat’, promotes urination and treats malaria. This recipe is adapted from a book called [...]

Chinese Spinach Soup With Wolfberries & Garlic

Recently, I bought a bunch of Chinese spinach at the weekend night market (pasar malam). It cost only RM1 (~USD0.33). Cheap eh? Fast forward few days later, I found some of the spinach leaves to be wilting. Oh gosh I know I need to use it right away. Chinese spinach soup or seong tong yuen [...]
