About me
I am a Malaysian Chinese who moved here years ago. I started cooking when I was in college. First, I cooked in order to save cost and then I cooked because I missed Malaysian food. Now, with years of experiences in cooking and baking, I am creating new home cook recipes to share with the world and my family. I am married with two beautiful daughters who enjoyed eating all of my creation, whether in cooking or baking. Delicious food can put a smile on someone's face and also makes him/her remembers your food and eager for more.

Cooking Influences
What influenced me to cook was my longing for Malaysian food. Malaysian food was hard to come by if you were not living in a big city. So, in order to eat, I had to create and make it myself. Internet, blogs, food forum were great for me to look for recipes that I missed the most. Then, I started blogging, at first it was just to show pictures of my food and sharing updates on my girls and now it blossomed into sharing recipes and cooking/baking tips with my readers.

- November 9, 2011Yummmmm... I love hoisin sauce! I went and checked out your blog but for some reason couldn't leave a comment through the CES frame - so I'll just comment here. Looks awesome. Hoisin and scallions is a match made in heaven!
- March 20, 2011You're welcome Amos, so glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback.
Wiebe, to keep the flour dry. In Malaysia, the humidity is very high, so for making this cookies, people fry the flour. So that the resulted cookies will be light and melt in the mouth. Even though I am in a dry area now, I still follow the traditional way, but instead of frying in a wok for half an hour or more, I used microwave. - March 20, 2011I was just reading about your Kuih Bangkit, and these little cookies (?) look really interesting. I was just wondering though, as I'm ignorant about the subject, as to what the purpose of microwaving the tapioca flour was. This is something completely new to me, so would love to understand. Thanks.
