Learn English!

The reason why you should, too, learn English.

Look at those Chinese girls, they learned English because they do not want to just settle down with domestic business (in China). On the other way round, they are moving towards international trade.

But of course, I am not asking you to take prostitution as your part time job...

Anyway, enjoy the video!

Sliced Pork with Onion Gravy

Came out with another new idea of cooking pork.

First, the pork must be seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides of the slices.

It is then grill on a flat pan until it is cooked.

Prepare some sliced onions and spring onions and fry them until you can smell the aroma.

Pour in the mixture of ketchup, oyster sauce, honey and salt and stir together with the onions for 2 minutes.

Serve the pork slices together with honey onion gravy and fresh carrots.

Sounds easy? You should try it!

Chicken Curry

Decided to cook again today.

According to my calculation, it's been 8 months since i last cooked my favourite Chicken Curry dish.

There is not a single problem trying to get all the ingredients that i need in Penang if i need to compare the availability of the ingredients and herbs when i was in the UK.

I noticed that British only use limited herbs to cook their meals. Or sometimes, they are just being contented having fast food.

I like all these junk food but i am sure it will burn a big hole in my pocket. That makes me more willing to simply cook and eat at home.

Here you go again, another nice dish to ease my starvation.

I am kind of addicted to eating the violet cabbage. Probably because of its colour which improves my appetite.


Chicken Curry - my style

Chicken Fillet with Cabbage

Suddenly thought of cooking something today.

Nothing special on my menu. The idea just sprouted like that when i was still fetching ideas from my little brain.

The product of this dish may seemed to look a bit like what you can find in the western menu but i assure you that it is of the chinese's.


The ingredients for this dish.


Yum yum...let's dig in.

Pancake served

I am dead broke now. Look at what I had for lunch today?

Searching for healthy source of protein and carbohydrate, suddenly it just made me hanker after pancake with muesli and fruits. Actually I didn’t crave for that but my mind was telling me that this will offer me the cheapest nutrients for the day.

Well, here you go – Pancake. I personally like to shape the pancake to the form similar to the Japanese Dorayaki(銅鑼焼き). It helps to improve my appetite…wink…


Dorayaki liked Pancake...slurp...

Not bad of a taste for these lovely pancakes and it somehow remains me about Steph’s cooking in Leeds. Will give you a glimpse of what she usually cooked for me.


Roasted Chicken with whipped potato and salad


Guess what? Mee Goreng Steph style


Inspired by Gourmet Burger Kitchen, I present you Steph styled set dinner. Good for couple who don't want to spend too much in GBK. A glass of red wine will be a perfect combination.

I wonder when can I enjoy myself like that again...

Sushi Art - The True Art of Japanese Cuisine

Prosperity can be nothing, if one cannot enjoy the luxury of good food. Fortunate for me to have lived in the heart of the isles of Northern Malaysia - Penang, where food is the main attraction.

Why is it so? The reason behind this is because Penang comprises mainly of Chinese community. As what it has been practiced among the chinese, even in the earliest civilisation of ancient Chinese Empire, the standard of food has always been a sign of wealth and status, apart from serving its basic purpose of satisfying one's hunger. It's always food that brings the chinese community together. There is always a reason to celebrate and to feast.

The Japanese Sushi madness hit South-East Asia years ago, promoting fresh, raw and health food to every single corner of Malaysia where chinese populations are the majority. Paying the bills for ths luxurious meal is simply pain-staking. But how to avoid paying this much? There is only if the consumers know how to prepare these sushis from scratch. No short cuts and pain in the ass.

My love for sushi led me to work as a sushi chef when I was studying in Leeds. Due to the improper teachings from the restaurant that i used to work in, my sushi making skills has shown no improvement. I really admire those who have tremendous skills in sushi making, not because they can perform this well in front of the customers, but rather the ability of calming themselves and avoiding mistakes. It requires continual practice whether you are rolling the sushi, hand-molding the nigiris or slicing pieces of raw fish meat. Patience and total focus will be the main ingredients to achieve this.

I must admit that i am not as good as what i have expected myself to do. But I am going to show the following clip, which will lead us to the highlight of this entry.



Look at how fast and how skillful for him to hand-mold the nigiris. There are 4 different methods to do it. Can you notice the difference?

Samurai Spirit oftens demonstrated on the samurai sword. Observe how he positioned sliced the futomaki. True Samurai Spirit!

Can you imagine how he came out the picture on the sushi that he was making?

I was puzzled when i saw different images from each slice of the futomaki. Look closely, he only did a roll of futomaki and it came with various designs! Simply remarkable!

Japanese food for dinner tonight, shall we?
