teckiee writes: How I wished I had a bowl of this. To place beside me on a lovely dish.To squirt the sauce all over the fish. Fish? What fish? But it rhymes doesn't it?Who cares about the rhyme, I am just desperate to dig in to something delicious like this Coconut Souffle with a Gingered Palm Sugar (Gula Melaka) Sauce when Nigel made for Allan on his birthday. Rant rant rant. I don't care already la. Damn stressed out right now. Some more damn freaking hard to get good deserts. HOW TO SURVIVE?! All I get is some lousy kuih ...

teckiee writes: I feel so hot and dehydrated right now. I face is so fair pale. But, its was all worth it =) Ferry and Tieso were awesome yesterday! Vinn did a pretty good job for the warm up too. How I wish I have a couple of these in my fridge right now. My colleague bought this for me a couple of weeks back from Chong Kok Wah Tou Guan Restaurant. The usual Kwai Lin Kou (pronounce as Gui Ling in Mandarin) I have eaten do not have added herbs in them. This is one quite different as Chinese herbs are added in ...

teckiee writes: My parents had their own agenda, so I had to cook for me and my sis. I like cooking, but only when I'm in the mood. That day, mood was not my middle name. When days like this come, I usually cook up something very simple, which requires little cleaning up. Instead of using ginger to mask the fishy smell of the fish, I used whole cloves garlic. I didn't have to use much actually, the red snapper was fresh and was just sweet. Boil porridge, add a little seasoning, add the garlic and boil until the garlic softens. Fish slice cooks fast so I ...

teckiee writes: When Sid asked me if I wanted to join Sunny's baking class on Sunday, I said YES of course! Jennifer whom I have met before will be attending the class too. The funny thing about the baking class was, Sunny was going to teaching us how to make Tiramisu.... which requires no baking. Nice =) because my oven kind of suck right now. Yes yes, I still have not gone around buying my new oven yet. I have no time to scout around or do my 'gadget' research. Any recommendations? What brand? What functions? Anyway, back to the class. It's a small focused class of four which I found ...

teckiee writes: I woke up yesterday to find WMW's SMS. "Meeting up with Jason and friend for Famous Seremban Char Siew". My sis was away for a conference, my parent went over to the new house, I didn't have anything planned or to eat. And it's POK! Of course I went. I had to meet up with WMW at Kayu because I was still a 'virgin' to Famous Seremban Favorites. Tak tau jalan ma. The road got a little confusing because of the one way street. Anyway, the friend that WMW mentioned was actually j2kfm aka Motormouth from Ipoh! Nice to have met you =)...

teckiee writes: When Jimmy told me that there are new additions to their menu, I knew I had to return! It's been quite some time since I have step foot in Cagayan's. And I really needed the dose of pok!Cheezy Mussels (*New) (RM10.50) caught my nose before it caught my sight. The aroma of the mussels smelt so good. Usually baked mussels alone smell really pungent, but this have got the cheese on top blended. Both aroma fused together to give a very unique smell. I love the aroma, but I feel that this bake is only suitable for those who take seafood and love the pungent fishy and cheese smell. ...

teckiee writes: Starbucks breakfast promo! 8am to 2pm. Only RM4.50 with a free cup of coffee until end of the month.I went to the Starbucks in KL convention center at 8am sharp to get them. Guess what? All sold out! I was told that they only had 10 breakfast buns and all of them were sold to the first customer. But ...but... I was the first! 8am sharp! Well, apprently not la.

I didn't. So ...

teckiee writes: Very very short post...yet again.Egg tart (RM1.50) YUM! Enough of the egg yoke fragrance. The pastry is not drenched in oil and very flakey.Pineapple Paste (RM1.50). The outer layer is like the yam pastry "wow kok". I could tell that the pineapple jam inside is made in house. Sweet and a little sourish. I still like pineapple jam tarts.Crispy BBQ Pork bun (RM2). The top looked weird. Kind ...

teckiee writes: It was a Saturday afternoon we my cousin and I ended up in Pavilion KL for lunch. My cousin mentioned something about a famous Taiwanese restaurant, and I on the other hand wanted to eat at a restaurant that I have passed by way too many times. Coincidently, we were referring to the same place.Dain Ti Hill on the 6th floor, right beside Wong Kok Char Chan Teng. Oat Milk Tea (RM10). Tasted like normal 'teh si ping'. I can't really taste any oat in that milk. The oat grain on top was soft and soaked in milk after a few sip of the milk. Nothing ...
