Camping menu. Been making lots of ayam bakar recently. Usually I'll do my own marinade formula, but lately I've been experimenting with premades and bought bunch variety of them for tasting review.

This time is McCormick Sichuan Mala.

It's batshit crazy hot, even after I cut it with blended onions, and not exactly enjoyable even for spicy food lover. My hands burning after prepping the marinate.

You can skip this one and try something else if you are not into extreme spicy.

Don't mind the stake. I'm experimenting with various cucuk styles and this one is actually quite decent.

Coming from the other end of the Peninsular Malaysia, I have never had Laksa Johor growing up.

The date was 7 April 2021 when I chance upon a small stall in Penchala, recently opened on the road shoulder in between Restoran Muhibbah and Bedal Lah. Boy it was so spectacular that I would want to relive the moment I had this for the first time.

The stall was called Kecur (to salivate in Malay). Not so long after, it moved to a rather upscale location in Damansara Height, Bungalow #64 right behind Ben's by Day / The Bread Shop / the old Siti Li Dining place.

Unfortunately this might be their undoing as the place closed down barely a year after.

To this day, I am on lookout for a good Laksa Johor. If you know any, please do share in the comment (and attach photo too!).

Note: My apologies for using fork, I didnt know any better back then.

Hi, i’m non-Malaysian and wanting to make Beef Rendang for the first time. I have all the core ingredients but i’m seeing mixed recipes online—some with tamarind paste, some without. That’s the only thing i’m having second thoughts about so wondering if anyone can help?

Do i add tamarind paste to beef rendang or no?

For the price I think its reasonable. And the taste quite good and comparable with harga belas belas ringgit ones.

Probably the only pasta eaten with your hands. Had this one at a cafe in Rimbayu iirc, unfortunately despite the presentation, this example lacks punch.

Eh salah pulak... Ayam pad kra pao. Tak masuk mulut mat nama dia. Nasib aku bukan orang thai. Kang kena kecam orang thai.. tapi sedap yer.

Just finished cooking tonight’s simple dinner! What’s for dinner y’all?

My partner personally requested for kam heong chicken tonight and I said ok boss. Today's make was especially extra yummy.

Repost: Sorry I didn't know we weren't allowed to use emojis in the title. My bad.

Edit: I've only made this probably 3-4 four times so far and only started to learn to cook this dish this year as I've never learnt to cook or help around the kitchen growing up. But I've honestly wouldn't know how to cook if it weren't from watching Che Nom's youtube videos! You can search up her video but here's her recipe:

Ingredients for marinated chicken:
½ chicken
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sweet soy sauce
a pinch of salt
½ teaspoon of pepper powder
1 egg
2 tablespoons corn flour

Ingredients for gravy:
1 ½ tsp curry powder
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp sweet soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
½ -1 teaspoon sugar
some water

Other ingredients:
2 cups cooking oil
½ -1 tbsp dried shrimp
2-3 shallots
3 cloves of garlic
1 lemongrass
1 stalk of curry leaves
½ holland onion
6-7 bird's eye chilli
some water

I'd call this Seafood Boil Larper Edition because the only seafood it has were prawns. Crabs were imitations. No complain for the sausages because its my favorite brand and I love it. No egg because I HATE EGG.

I made way too much I have the habit of making big portion of food and then could not finish it. The picture you're seeing is only the 40% of the portion I made. Uh...BURP.
