Miang Pla Pao

Hello especially for all from Europe and Australia that used to attend the classes, I hope you all are cooking delicious food in your kitchen. Today, I am going to post something that many asked me to teach before but normally I would said no. The reason is it takes time to prepare, hmmm...actually not, it needs time for resting the dough. But I can show you a simple video how to make it and you can do it at your home. So, what it is? It is roti canai!! Happy cooking. Enjoy the video.

Bean sprouts challenge week

Last week was a bean sprouts week. Why I said that? Because it was my first time to make green bean sprouts by myself and turn out they over grown. One cup of green beans turned out massive bean sprouts. Thus, I had to cook whatever dishes that I could think of using bean sprouts. Of course I missed out some ingredients especially the Khmer Laksa that show on the middle top picture, it almost just laksa soup with bean sprouts. What a bean sprouts week, don't you think? 

Chocolate birthday cake for hubby
