Braised Rice (Man Fan)

When I was leaving in Kuala Lumpur, I enjoy this dish that we can easily get in the chinese restaurant called 'Man Fan'. It's literary means Braised Rice. Since I won't be able to find this dish in US, I decided to try to make it myself. In terms of taste, it's not really the same as the ones in Malaysia but it is close enough. This is because, I put in more seafood in it. It's still very hearty and I hope you will enjoy making it.

Chinese Creamy Corn Soup

One of my Chinese Take Out favourite is Chinese Creamy Corn Soup. As you know by now, I used to worked in one of the chinese take out in Upstate NY. I saw the chef make this a few times and now I finally trying to make it on my own.  I think this dish is good during cold season or when we are sick. It is easy and I hope you will enjoy this dish.

Pad Thai

Recently I received a wonderful gift from a very dear friend - Bchoo from Gourmand Simple's Pleasure. One of the item in the package that was sent to me is this Pad Thai Sauce from Ayara Thai Cuisine.

So, today I finally use this wonderful sauce to make a classic Thai dish - Pad Thai. It was simple and easy. Ayara does make good sauce. I do not need to add in any other sauces when I make this dish. The best part is, their sauce are made fresh daily in their kitchen. You can read more on how to purchase the sauce here.  Hope you enjoy it.

Seafood Paella

One of the Spanish dish that i like is definitely going to be Seafood Paella. See, I dont have that paella pan so I had mine cook in rice cooker. So my spanish rice dont have that burn part.. Somehow I prefer it that way. I don't know why but as long it is good, I don't care. I hope you will enjoy the recipe too.

Kangkung Sambal Belacan (WaterSpinach Sambal Belacan)

Remember few days ago, i finally found my Belacan here? Well, i quickly make this wonderful and simple dish that i absolutely adore. This recipe is easy and i use the cheat method. Instead making my own sambal paste, i got a ready made  Sambal Oelek from the Asian Market. I hope you will enjoy it.

Sambal Udang (Shrimps/Prawns)

I love sambal udang. I can just have sambal udang with white rice everyday. The awesome thing is that, i found this Tean's Gourmet Stir Fry Sambal Tumis Paste from the asian market here. That pretty much make my life way much easy and the taste is just awesome and almost very similar to the one i always had back in Malaysia. So here is the recipe. Enjoy!

Steamed Garlic Shrimps

During Chinese New Year, my 2nd aunt will make Steamed Garlic Shrimps for me. I love that dish so much that it became a tradition that every 2nd day of Chinese New Year, the whole family will have to go to her house for family lunch. Of course i will definitely have that dish specially make for me. The best part is that, i will get at least 4 shrimps while the rest of the family only entitled to 2 shrimps. Yup! i am my aunt's favourite nice. :p Here is the recipe. Enjoy!

Shrimps With Broccoli

One of my favourite chinese take out dish in US is Shrimps with broccoli. It is very hard to find a good place that serve good shrimps with broccoli. It may sound easy. The thing is that those chinese take out will fry the broccoli first in order to have the crunch and they will load it with lots of MSG and corn/ potato starch. This is my own home made Shrimps with Broccoli. Enjoy :)
