The Delicious Asian Food Fest has ended and though I am a little disappointed that there were only 3 submissions, nevertheless, I must say that the 3 submissions were of high quality and I must thank them for taking part. In fact, the 3 submissions are all some of my favourite chinese snacks and if you see the sample pictures here, you will know why.

The first to submit was Jo, the author of *~Riceballz~*. She shared her family recipe for Bak Chang (triangular shaped rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves). It is not a recipe for beginners and it can be a labourious task making these but the effort usually pays off when you dig into these lovely dumplings.

The next to submit was Takfenglili of Life is Beautiful; Life is Love. Takfenglili generously shared with me their (yes, Takfenglili is actually Tak Feng and Lili) recipe for Chai Kueh which is Vegetable Rice Noodle. A mixture of vegetable and prawns are wrapped in a rice noodle sheet before steaming to make this delicious looking parcel. Great for afternoon tea, I must say.

Finally, Elaine of A Series of Kitchen Experiments came up with her recipe for oblong looking Har Gows (Shrimp Dumplings) which is a favourite in Dim Sum restaurants. Reading the recipe makes one realise that these dainty treats take lots of effort to make. No wonder they are so delicious!

Most of the recipes here at Hochiak! Delicious Asian Food are Chinese as I am Chinese. However, there are thousands of recipes out there which represent Asian food which I’ve yet to discover or learn how to cook them.

I think it is about time to create some kind of promotion for Delicious Asian Food here. Not from my recipes but from you! I would like to invite all of you to participate in the Delicious Asian Food Fest by submitting to me a recipe which you have posted in your blog. Only one recipe submission per person and it must be an authentic Asian recipe, or at the very least, heavily influenced by ingredients found in Asia. Read the rest of this entry »

I am currently reorganising this site to make it look better. In the meantime, there will be some temporary disruptions. This site should be optimised in the next 24 hours for a better viewing experience

Do you like the banner above? I’m thrilled to have designed my very first banner myself. Say you like it! It will thrill me further! LOL!

Update : Okay, I think the kitchen here looks fine now. Woohoo!

I always read The Star newspaper and like any other day, one of my favourite pastimes would be to read the newspaper. A day is like incomplete if I do not read the newspaper. So, as I was flipping through the pages of The Star yesterday, I noticed a familiar picture. It is a picture of a plate of Mee Rebus which I took when I did a food review back in August. As I read further, I then realised that it was highlighting the post I did on Rosli’s Mee Rebus. A smile was brought to my face to see the article highlighting the Mee Rebus food review.

Thanks to Sangeetha of The Star for finding my food review newsworthy

To those of you who have just arrived at this site courtesy of The Star Online, Welcome!
