Sometimes the eyes are bigger than the stomach but that just means tomorrow's lunch is sorted. 🐟

Made Umai Melanau for dinner tonight... fresh, tangy, and packed with that irresistible heat. Delicious, but I went a little overboard. So into the fridge it goes, ready for round two tomorrow.

No food wasted, just a meal extended.

A little bit of Japan, a little bit of Penang, all on one plate. 🍣🇯🇵🇲🇾

Sashimi salmon, silky and fresh. Penang otak-otak, spicy and wrapped in that unmistakable aroma of turmeric and coconut. Served alongside nutty Bario rice, funky Japanese natto, and a chilled glass of sake to tie it all together.

It's an unlikely lineup that somehow makes perfect sense. The kind of meal that doesn't follow rules... just cravings.

Some meals are worth the mess. 🦀✨

Tonight, the wok did the heavy lifting with mud crab baked until smoky, fragrant, and gloriously messy to eat. The kind of dish that demands your full attention and rewards it with every sweet, succulent bite.

Alongside, nasi kunyit's golden, fragrant, and the perfect, gentle companion to the bold crab.

Prep was a labor of love. Taste? Absolutely worth every minute. This is the kind of dinner you remember.

Jaipur came to my kitchen today. 🕌➡️🍳

Inspired by a recent trip, I brought the flavors home and then gave them a Malaysian welcome. Coriander Chutney, bright and zingy. Sabudana Khichdi, soft and peppery. Pork Satay, grilled and caramelized. Kang Kung and Spinach sambal belacan on the side for that spicy, shrimp-paste punch. A double-boiled black chicken ginseng soup to slow everything down and soothe the soul.

And on the side, Indian toddy rum—warm, bold, and just right for a cooking day that stretched into the evening.

Not authentic. Just honest. Just my way of traveling without leaving the stove.

Today was a cooking day well spent.

Weekend Project: Kanom Jeen Namya for 40! 🍜🐟

​This is Thai comfort food at its finest. An aromatic, herb-heavy fish curry poured over nests of delicate rice noodles and finished with all the fresh, crunchy trimmings.

​It’s healthy, bursting with the fragrance of fresh lemongrass and grachai, and surprisingly easy to whip up in big batches. If you’ve never had this with a side of hard boiled eggs and a heap of fresh veggies, you’re missing out on the ultimate flavor explosion.

​My kitchen still smells like a Bangkok dream. 🌿🍋

Sometimes the best bowls are the ones you build on a whim. 🥢

Made Korean cold noodle tonight—but with a twist. The soup base is dashi, mirin, wasabi and Japanese soy sauce, chilled to a clean, savory depth. Instead of soba, I used wonton noodles for that familiar springy bite. Topped it all with sliced pork, a jammy egg with a golden running yolk, grated radish and crispy fried salmon skin for that irresistible crunch.

It’s Korean-inspired, pantry-led, and completely satisfying. The kind of bowl that makes you wonder why you haven’t tried the swap sooner on a hot day.

Fragrant, layered, and worth every minute of patience. 🍗✨

Pakistani chicken biryani tonight—basmati grains infused with warm spices, tender chicken cooked deep in yogurt and caramelized onions, each spoonful a perfect balance of earthy, aromatic, and gently spiced. The kind of dish that fills the house with promise hours before it even hits the plate.

Already thinking ahead: a pork trotters version might just be next on the stove. Some traditions are worth playing with.

Selamat Hari Raya from my kitchen to yours. 🌙✨

Today’s feast: lemang—steamed to soft, sticky perfection, then pan-fried until the edges turn beautifully crisp and golden. Paired with rendang, slow-cooked in rich, aromatic spices until every strand of meat is tender and deeply infused. The air was thick with the scent of coconut milk, galangal, and toasted kerisik.

There’s something about this meal that feels like homecoming. The patience of preparing the glutinous rice, the hours of stirring the rendang, the shared joy of gathering around the table—it’s all worth it for that first bite.

May your Syawal be filled with warmth, forgiveness, and the best kind of feasts. To those celebrating near and far, Salam Aidilfitri. Maaf zahir dan batin. 🕌❤️
