Mango is such an amazing fruit that you can use it in making dessert or even in main/side dishes. Let me tell you, when I was young, I hated ripe mango. Unripe mango is always my preference. I eat it by itself. What? Yeah, just slice it, dip with salt (or without) and put it in my mouth. Sometimes, I like to pickle unripe mango too, then eat it as a snack. Or use it to make into salad. Apart from Som Tam – Thai... 

Hot and sour soup with prawns – Tom Yum Goong (ต้มยำกุ้ง) is one of those dishes that I love and can’t think of any reasons to say ‘no’ to it. Tom yum is such a distinct soup – hot and sour flavours that will wake up all your senses. The most popular tom yum is tom yum goong, which is cooked with prawns. Tom yum gai is the chicken version, which is as nice. I always opt... 

Thai food. How do you describe Thai food? I would just simply say sweet, sour, and spicy! It’s a cuisine that is full of flavours, good use of ingredients and always never too complicated. I know I probably have mentioned this too many times but I am really glad that I have been brought up in a society that has allowed me to taste different cuisines without having to travel too far! There’s one Thai restaurant... 

What to eat in October? I can’t believe that we are about 2 months away from 2010! Weather is getting colder and I tend to cook soupy or one-pot kind of food during Autumn/Winter. In October, there are lots of things in season. All these food reminds me of shorter days and longer nights, which I don’t really look forward. It’s good to eat whatever that’s in season because this reduce the energy... 

Thai food is full of flavours and it’s a cuisine that I am familiar with. We get a lot of influence from Thai cooking, especially Southern Thai as there’s a small Thai community in my hometown. So, Thai food is always very easy to get hold with! I previously cooked Garlic & Coriander Chicken, which is a very simple dish but full of flavours! This dish is pretty common in my hometown. There’s... 

I picked up the phone and was overjoyed when the DHL guy told me that there was a package for me. I had arranged the item to be delivered the next day. Firstly, it was because I wanted claim a few free items before the closing date. Secondly, I had finally made up my mind to purchase it as a gift to myself. (Oh, I love presents!!) Anyway, it seems to me that my little Braun chopper needs to be replaced! It is not that... 

  I am delighted to have Cho from hsa*ba as a guest on my blog. Cho was born in Burma but moved to England with her family at the age of 8. She returned to Burma in 2004 to rediscover the food of her childhood. Her first cookbook, hsa*ba, which is packed with simple authentic Burmese recipes was published in October 2008.   Today, Cho is going to tell us a little about Burmese food and will share with us a recipe... 

    It has been exactly 2 weeks since I moved. The packing and unpacking tasks are finally over! Probably still need final touch here and there. It’s a relief to have got everything done and try to settle in the new place!   Oh yeah, my broadband is up and running, (yey!!) else this post would not have been published! Well, I have been cooking. Even though I was kind of tired a few days after the move, but, I was... 

    I stumbled upon her blog not too long ago. Her talent in cooking and food photography catches my attention. The more I read, the more hungry I became. Sefa, the owner of Food is Love  has done a very good job on her blog.   The recipes that she shares Her are authentic Indonesian cooking. I have not tried a lot of Indonesian food. Only when I visited Bali. Through Food is Love, I am getting to learn so many...
