Shark’s Fin on Chawanmushi

My ultra short trip to Kuala Lumpur was exactly that. Between all the events that happen amongst wedding celebrations, I hardly had any time to explore the city. I did try to catch a taxi to Sek Yuen, only to find that it was closed mid afternoon on a Friday. He stopped by a take-away stand so we...

Baby Barramundi En Papillote

With sage and garlic herb butter, lemon and dutch cream potato We all love a home-cooked meal, but many of us tend to get lazy because of the washing up. This recipe is a favorite of mine, simply because it requires minimal cleaning up to do, especially after a long day at the office. I’m very...

Palatable, Per Se…

A veritable cornucopia of taste, for all five senses. Even though Thomas Keller resides more at French Laundry, his creations were undoubtly passed on exquisitely to his fellow chefs. He was awarded a three star rating by the Michelin Guide to New York for his restaurant Per Se, and in 2006, he was...

MoMa-ing

Destination… NYC

 Currently leeching off someone’s wifi on the upper east side in my [cousin's] cute shoebox studio. Today’s lovely explosion near grand central… I had to walk 30 blocks to get to dinner at Cafe Grey!! Had no idea a building exploded (even though we were literally RIGHT NEXT TO IT)...
