Very interesting! In most recipes, we are told Korean Fried Chicken are fried twice, but this video from Korea showed the lady at a street food stall only frying the chicken once! Still makes me hungry just watching, imagining myself standing there getting my order of the fried chicken, LOL…
Update August 28, 2020: Added another video which is double fried chicken, but truthfully I just love that slicer which looks like the paper cutter/slicer… Would love to have one of those, LOL…
(more…)In the past couple of years, something called Jiggly Cake has been making the rounds on social media. Actually it is not something new, someone has just come up with a catchy English name for the traditional sponge cake from Taiwan which in Chinese is 古早味蛋糕, meaning traditional flavoured cake. It is also known as Pillow Cake (枕頭蛋糕) because it is soft and fluffy! Now you might think that was it, but it has a history linking back to Japan and Portugal, because this cake is also known as Taiwanese Castella Cake.
(more…)The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner, falling on the 25th of June, 2020, this year. Dragon Boat Festival or Duanwu Jie (端午節), is celebrated on the 5th day of the fifth month on the Lunar calendar every year. Eating the sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves (Zongzi 粽子 in Mandarin, Chang 粽 in Hokkien dialet) is the traditional practice on this day. So I thought I would gather together some cooking videos I found on the net here for references. I will start with the Nyonya version as I am also thinking of doing a series of Nyonya cuisine posts in the future. Nyonya rice dumplings are a variation of the traditional Chinese rice dumplings originated by the Nyonyas (descendants of Chinese and Malay intermarriages) in Malaysia and Singapore.
(more…)Now if you are thinking Perth here meant the city of Perth, you would be totally wrong, LOL… Perth is a half Thai, half Australian actor. He is one of the ensemble cast in the 14-episode Thai drama, My Engineer, which just has its finale episode over the weekend. Today his YouTube channel popped up with this cooking video, so I watched it… What? In the drama, he virtually did not have much dialogue as his character, Ram, is a very quiet person, very loyal to his friends, but does not talk to anyone he’s not familiar with. Then in this short cooking video, he did more talking than the whole of the 14 episodes of the drama, and in two languages, Thai and English with an Aussie accent! He is even fluent in Japanese too! That totally floored me, LOL…
Update June 21, 2020: Added My Engineer: Summer Trip (程心程意：番外篇) videos…
Update August 19, 2020: Added the official theme songs’ MV from the TV sereis, My Engineer (程心程意), which were released at the end of July… They even get the 7 actors to star with new scenes in the MV and not used scenes from the series…

Saw this video recently, thought it is a good idea to share it here, especially for beginners on how to steam this very common kueh, as it only uses the blue butterfly pea flowers (which you may substitute with natural food colour as the flower is difficult to obtain outside Southeast Asia) which is easier to manage rather than doing the traditional multiple-colour layers.
