Have you ever tried a cake with three flavours? I love coffee flavour, my kids love chocolate flavour, and my husband loves banana cake. If you are also in a situation just like me, can’t decide whether to make chocolate, coffee, or banana cake. Why not combine these three flavours to make a marble cake. This cake is incredibly rich and buttery. A marble cake may look complicated, but it is one batter that is divided and then melted chocolate and coffee is added to one portion. And the mashed banana is added to another portion. The marbling effect is created by placing the banana batter and chocolate coffee batters alternately in a bundt pan, and then running a skewer through the two batters to give it a marble effect. If you just want a banana flavour cake, then omit the chocolate and coffee ingredients from the recipe or vice versa. It’s a very flexible recipe. I usually serve this cake plain. Today, I drizzled the cream cheese frosting over the top which took the whole cake to t

  Have you ever tasted the grilled chicken wings from the night food market? Can you picture the air filled with the aroma of grilled chicken wings? Who does not like finger licking good chicken wings? You may bake it or grill it using the same recipe. For today, set aside your thoughts about grilling. Instead, let's go for the easy method to bake it.  You may bake in an air fryer as well if you are making a small batch. I always bake in a big batch, so baking in an oven is my wise choice. These easy-to-make BBQ baked chicken wings are flavorful and soft. Marinating the chicken is an essential step in creating mouthwatering baked chicken wings.   The chicken was softer because of the marinating. It is a process that is done for 30 to 45 minutes before baking the meat, or preferably overnight. Through this process, the chicken will become moist and flavorful as it absorbs the marinade. I'm not marinating with store-bought barbecue sauce. Chinese cuisine marinades are what

  Have you ever tried this rice vinegar and cane sugar-pickled mixed ginger in a jar?   Let me share with you how to stew a whole chicken in these assorted pickles ginger. The taste is sweet and sour. It’s an appetizing dish. It contains buckwheat, red pepper, cucumber, red carrot, turnip, white melon, papaya, and ginger. This assortment of pickled gingers will take your cuisine to the next level, making it delicious and full of goodness.  I learned about this dish from my mother-in-law. In a way, this is one of the specialties of Kota Belud, the hometown of my husband. It only needs one pot to prepare. Simply combine the chicken with the pickled ginger in a pot, add enough water to cover, and boil until the chicken is cooked through. How simple was that? To give the chicken a lovely hue for putting on the table, the chicken must be lightly fried, which is one of the essential processes. Don't throw away the extra gravy. The soup has all the essence. The next day, you can use it

With just a little bit of extra work, white rice may very quickly become much more fascinating. How so? White rice is essentially just steamed white rice. But the grain is much more than that. For instance, Chinese sausage fried rice, garlic turmeric rice, chicken rice made with chicken fat, garlic and chicken broth, and the list goes on.   Spicing up white rice and transforming it into a more sophisticated and distinctive component of any meal can be done fast by adding various seasonings, experimenting with cooking liquids, and attempting other means of flavouring. Because of this, rice has become a perspective for me to understand Malaysian food and there are many different flavours of rice I discovered in Malaysia.  This nasi kerabu, or salted fish butterfly pea flower rice, is one of my favourites. “Nasi” refers to rice whereas “kerabu” refers to sweet and savoury raw vegetable salad. It originated from Kelantan in the 15th century. Due to the migration of Chinese traders, i
