Ayam Pansoh Tagine Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Again going back to my roots, as you may or may not know I am born to a Chinese father and Iban mother. Tomorrow (1st June) is a hugely celebrated Gawai Festival (Harvest Festival) by local “Dayak” natives in my home state Sarawak, Malaysia. The Iban tribe is one of the main Dayak group of natives and I am proud to be half Iban. Every year, people in Sarawak celebrate Gawai by visiting friends and relatives, drinking lots of tuak (Sarawak Rice Wine), eating lots of amazing local traditional dishes and just partying all night long. This dish is a … Continue reading Ayam Pansoh Tagine Recipe

Butter Sotong (Peppered Butter Squid)

Kimberly Peterson

  In case some of you may not already know, I originally come from a small town called Kuching (well, it’s really a small city) in Sarawak, Malaysia. Doesn’t ring a bell? Well, it’s on Borneo island. Does that narrow it down geographically? Growing up in Kuching, one of the best FOOD cities I believe IN THE WORLD, I was blessed to have amazing food in abundance. Kuching boasts some of the best food you will ever taste, and they are mostly street food (hawker styled food) and our local restaurants offer the best banquets at the most affordable prices. … Continue reading Butter Sotong (Peppered Butter Squid)

But they will be going home in two days so I suppose I’ll just make the most … Continue reading Char Kuay Teow

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
