My Favourite Beef Kueh Teow at Beach Street

I’ve been meaning to write about this favourite beef kueh teow for a long time now but each time, I get too greedy about eating the kueh teow that I forget to snap photos! I got to know this corner coffeeshop thanks to a good pal who said the beef kueh teow here was superbly good. [...]

Make Your Own Yogurt

I learnt how to make yogurt from my yoga teacher many years ago. I still keep in touch with Dada Lalitesh whenever he is back in Malaysia because he’s always a fount of knowledge about philosophy and books and of course, yoga asanas! He’s the first person I’d refer to if I have some niggling [...]

The Foodies in Us

As you probably noticed, I’ve been blogging less these past 2 weeks. Not because I’ve been out of ideas - I think I sometimes have too many! It’s been my mistress, the Business. Yes, I’ve been up to eyeballs with work, client meetings and yes, presentations. And then friends have been coming to Penang and [...]

Feasting on Durians

The idea was mooted by a friend/durian fan during one of our ladies’ networking meets about 2 weeks ago. This friend, SY, had asked casually if any of us were durian lovers and if we could have a durian party, well at least before the durian season ends! And so after plenty of SMSes around, [...]

What You’ll Get in Banting

When I got my Flavours magazine early this month, I was thrilled to read that Banting was one of those towns featured in their foodie booklet. When I scoured the booklet, I read that Banting is a one-street town and the only worthwhile food there is the Beggar’s Chicken at Jugra (which you need to [...]

The Odd Couple…You Know Any?

Do you know any odd coupling? No, not that sort. Not humans, not that weirdo boyfriend of your best pal whom you detest. Not that sort of odd couple. I mean, food couple. Odd food couples are foods which don’t usually go together but which we pair them up together and eat them with each other.

On a Ducky Trail

When I get totally bushed, as I sometimes do (while working on clients’ projects simultaneously), I crave for some out of routine thing to do. It could be just getting out and wandering aimlessly. It could be suddenly developing a craving for nasi kandar. Which reminds me, I met up with two lovely people two weeks back [...]

I’m back! Thanks for everyone’s kind thoughts and comments when I was away for my Porpor’s funeral. I am so blessed to have friends online and offline! Anyway, I’ve much to do now that I am back. Lots of stories to tell, lots of photos too as I had come back from Langkawi (yes, again! [...]

Sighing over Supper…

Almost zonked out from sheer tiredness today. Woke up early to meet a friend for breakfast at McD’s Sunrise Tower but let me tell you, I really don’t see what the big fuss is about. (By the way, my Godmother who is in her 50s, loves the McD Breakfast although she’s very careful about what [...]

Snacks and Food of Kuching

Posted on 25. Feb, 2007 by Maya.

It’s much easier for me to see the differences in food when I am in Kuching. I go with my Penang eyes anyway. Sightseeing aside, the local food in Kuching is quite different from Penang because they’re still quite traditional in many ways (read: not as polished commercialised as we Semenanjung people are). Each community [...]
