Mud Crab Feast at Omah’s Malaysian Restaurant

Kimberly Peterson

Where can you find the finest, most delicious, freshly cooked MUD CRAB in Melbourne? The answer is at Omah’s Malaysian Restaurant, located in Port Melbourne and its newly opened restaurant in Hawthorn. Omah’s boasts a fine selection of Malaysian-Nyonya cuisine and hawker (street food) favorites, many which actually brings back a lot of childhood memories for me. I’ve just had what was probably one of the best meals I have had in a long, long time. Together with 12 others, we feasted on 9 mud crabs with a variety of flavors (mostly chilli crab) and a selection of other dishes and … Continue reading Mud Crab Feast at Omah’s Malaysian Restaurant

An Inside Look at the Thermomix

Kimberly Peterson

Is Thermomix the world’s most awesome kitchen appliance ever invented? Firstly, let me just say that I am almost embarrassed to admit that I have never heard of Thermomix until a few days ago when a lovely lady from church told me about her brand new Thermomix and seeing as I write in a food blog, she thought I might be interested in coming along to a demo. Ever since the initial invitation, before I even went to the demo, I started doing my research online and asking people about it. Again, how embarrassing that I had no clue! Shame … Continue reading An Inside Look at the Thermomix

Well I am officially back from holidays and absolutely exhausted by it was a good trip and we saw many places and took many photos. It will take a while for me to sort through those photos but don’t worry, will let you know when it’s posted on my Flickr account! Having my parents here means I get home cooked meals without lifting a finger! I have been very spoilt by my parents, and almost don’t want them to go back to Malaysia! But they will be going home in two days so I suppose I’ll just make the most … Continue reading Char Kuay Teow

Crispy Pork Belly, New Rangehood & Amazing Eats

Kimberly Peterson

I finally get my kitchen back!! I finally get my kitchen back!! Hubby took almost a week to finish up his rangehood installation project. Our kitchen was in a complete mess for most of this week, and whilst I was lovin’ eating out, after a while you just want to be able to cook whatever you feel like eating, you know what I mean? Funny enough, I know I have my kitchen back but first thing on my To Eat list was nothing fancy or time consuming despite my slight feeling of being deprived of cooking. On the contrary, I … Continue reading Crispy Pork Belly, New Rangehood & Amazing Eats

Chocolate Banana Puff Pastry

Kimberly Peterson

I haven’t been able to experiment with new and impressive recipes lately. Hubby and I were away during the weekend, we stayed the night at a hotel in the city and got pampered with room service and restaurant meals. Weeknights are generally busy and I tend to cook really simple food just to keep us going. One weeknight, as I was wondering whether or not I should make dessert… I’ve noticed a couple of browning bananas and initially thought I’d make my banana fritters. However, the thought of messy gooey batter and cleaning up the wok and stove after deep frying … Continue reading Chocolate Banana Puff Pastry

Ayam Masak Kicap

Kimberly Peterson

This dish made me cry. Not because of its simplicity, but because it brought back so many childhood memories. I miss my parents back home in Malaysia. This dish was one of our staple chicken dishes that we would have at home all the time. It was probably one of the first dishes my dad ever taught our house maid to cook for us kids back in the days. It is wholesome, and so delicious, and satisfying, and this is my version of “Ayam Masak Kicap” aka Soy Cooked Chicken with a very slight twist in serving suggestion. My dad would … Continue reading Ayam Masak Kicap
