ieat writes: Mini Oreocheesecake $26.80 (8 pieces)When you were young, were you ever told that that moon was made of cheese? Well, it so happens that this particular Moon-cake is made out of cheese-cake. Yeah yeah its corny, but what do you expect at 2am in the morning?Anyway, with the Mooncake festival just 2 weeks away, it's time to look at some Mooncakes. Now, unlike our reporter friends from the media, I don't have the luxury of tasting all the fine hotel mooncakes and write about them all in the one article. So I just write about whatever comes my way which is noteworthy. And one of ... read more

Citrus Yoghurt Muffins
babe_kl writes: By far this is one of the most delicious and delectable muffins I've ever made! The citrusy tang and fragrance was absolutely addictive. They doesn't look very attractive though, pretty pale and the top doesn't brown evenly like normal muffins.

Malaysia

Robyn Eckhardt writes: A couple weeks ago a reader sent me an email asking about eating in Siem Reap (and Bangkok and Laos) which said, in part): I really want to do some food exploration, but am concerned about eating fresh veggies and fruit.  What are your thoughts on the matter?It wasn't the first such email I'd received. The food-focused traveler's conventional wisdom says: if it's not hot and cooked don't eat it, unless it's a fruit or vegetable with a peel you can remove yourself. We flout that rule wherever we go. Fresh tropical fruits, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces and sold from a cart are one of Southeast Asia's many pleasures, as are blender drinks made ... read more


ieat writes: AdvertorialThe last time I had my cholesterol levels done, I found that my triglycerides were a little elevated. So I started taking Omega 3 fish oils which have been scientifically proven to lower triglyceride levels. Although triglycerides have not been shown to be a risk factor for cardiac disease, it is still prudent to keep the levels low as high levels may lead to other problems such as pancreatitis.Nutritional supplements are useful to keep one in optimum health. It is true that you are what you eat. So for foodies who love to eat all the yummy hawker fare, it is good sometimes to stop and ... read more


Soto Ayam
camemberu writes: Ta da! Homemade soto ayam - chicken soup Malay-style, with ketupat (steamed pressed rice) and shredded chicken, topped with two begedil (potato cutlets), beansprouts, coriander, fried shallots and a dollop of wicked red chili paste. OK, we cheated with ready-made rempah (spices) - some days we all need a shortcut.For our energy shortcut, we used a thermal magic cooker.This totally non-electric thermal cooker works by retaining heat like a thermos flask. All you need to do is boil stuff using the inner metal pot for a few minutes, put that pot into its thermal case and let ... read more
