There’s never enough chinese restaurants around to suit my liking. Nor enough Malaysian/Singaporean restaurants either. The minute I hear of a new one, off I go - to check it out. The internet is a powerful thing. Following links upon links, I chanced upon Asian Gourmet Hut in Doncaster. A malaysian restaurant! Accordingly with a [...]

Remember my friend who got married? She didn’t just get married, she also moved into her new house the day after the wedding. A new kitchen is so much fun. To prod and poke (with the blessings of the mistress of the house, of course) so when my lovely girlfriend said yes to Elsie [...]

Chai Tow Kuey is a Teochew cuisine that is commonly enjoyed in Malaysia and Singapore ala streetfood style. While I didn’t really grow up eating this (my parents found it too greasy), my housemate did and really likes it. So in an attempt at culinary fairness (I can’t be cooking things I like only!), [...]
