A Dream Comes True
Anthony Bourdain and I at Line Clear Nasi Kandar, Penang. It was a dream comes true to have “met” an idol, a hero, and a legend. Thanks to No Reservations for coming to Penang and I can’t wait to see the episode.

Spotlight
Penang Assam Laksa
Penang Assam Laksa is ranked #7 as CNN World’s Most Delicious Foods. This is my homemade Penang Assam Laksa, a dish that I grew up eating. I have two Assam Laksa recipes here and here. Both are my family’s recipes and equally good. They pretty much taste the same but the measurements are slightly different. Enjoy!
Pisang Goreng (Fried Bananas)
My good friend F gave me some bananas and the secret flour mix from Malaysia and I fried up a batch of pisang goreng or fried bananas. It was the best pisang goreng (fried bananas) ever—crispy, crunchy, and airy. Absolutely delicious!
Lychee
Lychee is a topical/sub-tropical fruit mostly found in Asia. The flesh of lychee is sweet, juicy, with a refreshing fruity note. Lychee is rich in vitamin C. On average, nine (9) lychee fruits would meet an adult’s daily recommended Vitamin C requirement. (Source: Wikipedia) The inside of the lychee reveals the juicy flesh.
Fish Balls
Love the bouncy and fresh fish balls in Malaysia. This is a bowl of fish balls soup, served in Penang, Malaysia.
Charcoal Kaya Toast with Eggs
Breakfast of champions, the Malaysian-way. Charcoal kaya (coconut egg jam) toast topped with soft-boiled eggs. In Malaysia, you can still find many traditional kopitiam (coffee shops) serving up this traditional breakfast.
