A Taste of Australian Avocados
Truth be told - I never knew how wonderful the avocado really is. That is, not until I had an educational afternoon recently when Euro-Atlantic together with Agri-Science Queensland (Department of Employment, Economic Development & Innovation) in partnership with The Avocado Export Company organized a session to introduce this nutritious fruit. The event was held at the Berjaya University College of Hospitality. The avocado is one of the most nutrient-rich energy-dense fruit … [Read more...]
Baking Pies @ The Food Studio is great fun!
The first thing that struck me about The Food Studio is that...man, that's my Dream Kitchen! I love those overhanging steel shelves - I want my pots and pans to hang above the island in my kitchen too. Looking at this very professional kitchen at The Food Studio just reinforces that I need to get cracking on those ceiling-hanging shelves. Tucked away in the quiet hilly enclave of Amarin Kiara, The Food Studio offers a variety of culinary events, ranging from demos, gourmet cooking … [Read more...]
Chef Martin Yan – live in Kuala Lumpur!
Chef Martin Yan - a name that's well-known and popular in the culinary realm. I mean, I've been a fan of his TV show "Yan Can Cook" since ... since I don't-know-when ... must be way back in the late 70's/early 80's. Yes, he pioneered that daily cooking show - a classic and he was the first Asian chef to penetrate mainstream media back then. He has also authored 30 cookbooks including award-winning ones like "Martin Yan's Feast", "Martin Yan's Asian Favourites", "Chinese Cooking for Dummies" - … [Read more...]

Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia
The spate of baking I've been doing lately... (like the cakes featured in my 2nd last post here) and last Saturday, a chocolate cake, 2 fruit cakes and 35 muffins emerged from my oven ... this could be inspired by a recent visit I made to the Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia.Thanks to Jade Wong of Mustard Tree Communications, (through the kind recommendation of FBB) I spent a delightful afternoon at the Academy. The moment I walked through the glass door, I was bowled over by the … [Read more...]
GTower Hotel
The Kuala Lumpur skyline is ever changing. The concrete jungle in the city centre grows denser by the day. Whenever I drive into the city after a short lapse of time, I'm always in awe of the increasing amount of construction activities there and new buildings keep sprouting like mushrooms after a rainfall. I can never keep up with, or rather, keep count of the number of new skyscrapers fighting for a tight spot in the almost-overcrowded KL skyline.When I was invited to … [Read more...]
Culinary Challenge 2 @ Bayan Indah
Why is it that when we are heading towards the year end, the days seem to flash by extra-quickly? I don't feel that way during the first half of the year but somehow things just catapult like crazy after July. I'm saying this because I just realised that almost a whole month had gone by since 25 September. Why 25 September?That was the day we had our Culinary Challenge 2 in Bayan Indah! We're almost going for the 3rd session and I guess it's high time I blog about CC-2 … [Read more...]
Culinary Challenge 1 @ Bayan Indah
One of the fun things I get to do in my job is to organize activities for my colleagues under the umbrella of our Sports Club. We are constantly thinking (aka "plotting") to come up with different stuff for the people to participate. Ever since I experienced the 1st session of fun cooking at Bayan Indah with Rohani Jelani, I was hooked on that place and went back for a 2nd session a couple of months ago! As I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 outings in … [Read more...]
