Dad’s Assam Fish Head Curry Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Hey everyone. Ever since I got back from Malaysia a week ago, I have fallen sick most possibly due to the drastic change in weather.. from a really hot and humid tropical weather in Malaysia, to the first signs of winter in Melbourne. Very windy and very cold… I wasn’t quite ready for that! So due to my illness, I haven’t been cooking as much and thus, I couldn’t blog as much either! But I do know based on my poll results, comments and some requests via Twitter and ChatBox that you guys enjoy seafood and a lot of you enjoy … Continue reading Dad’s Assam Fish Head Curry Recipe

Seafood Mee Goreng Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Serves 4 Original Recipe by Jimmy Chua, from his cook book “Hawker Food” or “Masakan Penjaja” This week, hubby is away for 4 days so I decided to cook something that is relatively simple yet delicious, and would make great lunch packs. I flipped through the “Hawker Food” cookbook which I have bought while I was in Malaysia… and HELLO Seafood Mee Goreng recipe! Believe it or not, I have cooked MANY stirfries… but not quite the Seafood Mee Goreng. Sometimes I wondered why, since this is probably one of my favorite fried noodles dish ever. So I went and … Continue reading Seafood Mee Goreng Recipe

Jalan Jalan Cari Makan in Kuala Lumpur

Kimberly Peterson

When I left Kuching, I had a stopover in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for a night. I was staying with a friend, and my cousin was kind enough to pick me up from the airport and take me shopping and later on we had dinner with 2 of my friends at Chilis @ 1 Utama Shopping Mall. I figured I have had too much Asian food the past 12 days in Kuching.. and I felt the need to ease back into Aussie life. Nah, just kidding. I JUST WANTED SOME BEEF RIBS!!! Pretty random, I know.. but Chilis ended up being … Continue reading Jalan Jalan Cari Makan in Kuala Lumpur

Kuching Food Adventures Part 7 – The End

Kimberly Peterson

I said I would end with a Big Bang, so be prepared for a BIG final chapter of my Kuching Food Adventures. It has been amazing to be back in my hometown, and yes I have gained weight but I will worry about exercising and diet-ing it off when I get back to Melbourne. How often do I get to come back right? Hhmmm… you probably won’t see me post a recipe for a while even though I’ll be back in my kitchen, unless it’s a low fat healthy recipe :p So last night, I went out with my friends … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 7 – The End

Kuching Food Adventures Part 6

Kimberly Peterson

Another round of amazing seafood tonight! Thanks to my cousin for shouting us this dinner. I have been so spoilt ever since I’ve arrived. The amount of food I have been having… the adventures as you can see on this blog… I really hope my hubby still recognizes me when I return to Melbourne, lol. This time around it was Pending Seafood. An open, outdoor area, similar to hawker stalls but most of the “stalls” or “kitchens” specialize in seafood. The experience is indeed very local. I’ve never been to Pending Seafood before tonight, and was pleasantly surprised to discover … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 6

Kuching Food Adventures Part 5

I just had an awesome weekend at Damai Beach Resort, Kuching. I really can’t remember the last time I was there… especially with my family. I remember as a child, we would regularly go and stay at the resort over the weekend as a family activity thing. Eventually, we all grew up.. and those trips are rare… BUT this weekend we re-lived those times all over again.. and as a result, I have new material to post on my food blog!! More FOOD! BUT, before we get to the food I had at the seafood restaurant near the beach resort… … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 5

Kuching Food Adventures Part 4

Kimberly Peterson

Day 4 and I am starting to struggle … what to eat? Where to eat? What to do? Where to go? LOL I know my adventures are not quite over yet… after all, I have yet to go on a seafood banquet, nor steamboat, so the BIG options are still there… the trouble is finding the smaller options.. so off to the hawker stalls I went. Easiest thing to do when you’re clueless! Go to the hawker stalls and you will almost always find something yummy 🙂 Rojak Sarawak at lunch. Shared with my parents. Sarawak Kolo Mee… also at … Continue reading Kuching Food Adventures Part 4
