boo_licious writes: Reunion appetizerBusy! Busy! Busy! Sorry but the blog has been sadly ignored these few days...Nevertheless the eating still continues though. My uncle and his family are down from Hong Kong and China these few days for Ching Ming. We did the deed yesterday - easy and painless as there were no crowds of people jostling for space in the cemetery. Am amazed at how clean the Hokkien cemetery looks now. Almost could not recognise it.Chicken herbal soupWe had this last night, since we didn't want to travel too far. My first time trying out the food from Reunion's menu. I love the mirrors, sheer curtains ... read more

teckiee writes: I no longer have to travel down to Imbi for Imbi Palace because they have (not so) recently open a new branch in Asia Jaya area! Wee!It was Chinese New Year, and also my Dad's birthday when I brought them here for dinner. Dad always says that he is up for anything, but I know he prefers Chinese compared to other cuisines. Started off with the appetizer, ikan bilis (anchovies), long beans, and sweet potatoes, all together. Sweet and spicy. Pan fried vegetables with scallops. I like the way they have prepared the vegetables, the celery, Enoki mushrooms and Macadamia nuts were fried until ... read more

Robyn Eckhardt writes: One of the most arresting sights at Butuan City's Seafood Market is the rows of giant squid, slippery bodies big as a small cat, tentacles thick as thumbs, and eyes that are eerily human-like. As I perused the market's offerings thoughts like 'Mmmm, red snapper, chuck it on the grill' and, 'Ooooh, octopus, Italian tomato stew with spinach,'  danced through my head. Then my gaze fell upon the squid, and the only words that came to mind were 'Now what the he** do you do with that!?' Luckily our host in Butuan City is quite a kitchen wizard, and during that ... read more

boo_licious writes: Petai aka stink beansLast Sunday, we finally managed to make it down to the Shah Alam stadium's morning market. I have been dying to go look at the place for quite some time but due to work commitments, it has been placed in the back burner.Beautiful purple brinjals or auberginesThe place is pretty happening with a Pasar Tani (a kind of farmers market) with lots of local produce, food stalls and stalls selling second hand items. It is advisable to come early as it can get packed in the later part of the morning. Luckily, we reached here nice and early.Kundang... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: If at the end of this year you asked me to list out my most memorable events in 2008, this dinner party would definitely make the Top 10 list.  After having suffered through FBB’s numerous accounts of dinner parties he had hosted, I thought my time would never come.  But it did, thanks to my multiracial background.  For some *skewed BN inspired reason, he needed someone of Indian heritage, and I dug deep into the bottomest layer of my fatty epidermis to pull out the Indian card, and thus kindly fulfilled his masyarakat majmuk quota.  So if you haven’t been invited to one of FBB’s legendary dinner ... read more

boo_licious writes: Oyster on iceI first caught wind of the Latest Recipe, Le Meridien Hotel's new cafe at last year's Food Bloggers gathering from Riz of Fried Chillies fame. Oozing praises for the new concept, he made it sound so tempting, I wanted to abandon the gathering and bolt straight away for the cafe. The magic word, he kept repeating was "Teppanyaki Ice Cream". Hold on, my brain was working out, "one can't fry ice cream on a teppan since it will melt right???"Prawns My curiosity was piqued hence, when I received an invitation to dine with Paprika, Lyrical Lemongrass and Cheryl Lum (thanks so much, ... read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: When I first saw The HSS’ pictures of Latest Recipe, I cursed.  No, no, it wasn’t an imaginary curse.  I sent him an SMS with some colourful language.  Firstly, I was jealous of his pictures, and secondly, I wasn’t there.  (Commercial break:  This dude takes FABULOUS pictures.  I have an altar for him in my garden where my pet frog, Tom, lives.  Tom worships him too.  End of commercial.)  So when I received an invitation to dine at Latest Recipe, I didn’t give two hoots whether The HSS was invited.  I was going, baby, and I was going to taste some of that gorgeous psychedelic teppanyaki ice cream which ... read more

boo_licious writes: Pan-roasted scallops with cauliflower puree Call it the typical new year resolution but I recently, had a brilliant idea to revive Sunday lunches at home. Must have been the influence from the Asian Food Channel, which plays Ramsay's The F Word but I got swayed to purchase Gordon Ramsay's Sunday Lunch one day.Herb-crusted rack of lambI went through page by page of the cookbook and decided to tackle the first Sunday lunch - Mediterranean flavours. Actually I was attracted to the idea of cooking rack of lamb, something I have yet to attempt.Courgettes provencaleI started out with the first ... read more
