Serious Eats' Halal Cart-Style Chicken and Rice with White Sauce 

Yeah 53rd and 6th!! I fly from LA to go there, once a year for 2 years now. That hot sauce is fantastic. I guess I can replace it with some habanero based concoction in my blender.

Don't forget that you can always ask for whatever drink you order with a "kau" for more of the base ingredient.

e.g. Teh ais kau!

Did you get to try pandan flavored kaya as well. I used to love it as a kid, probably still do. Just haven't had it in a while. :(

Snapshots from Malaysia: What Is Malaysian Cuisine?

Ahhh, good old Malaysian food. I've pretty much found that Korean is the only other food with enough flavor to make me miss Malaysian just a little less.

Do You Eat or Email First?

Don't eat breakfast.... even when I do. I need something to read while I'm eating... so... RSS and email.

A Family Friendly Burger at Dish in La Cañada Flintridge, California

Try the hangar steak at the dish. It's pretty tasty. The red velvet cupcake is really good too.

The only problem with the dish is that they oversalt most of their food. I think it's because most of their clientele is older, and I've found that older Americans tend to like their food really salty.

'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

(( Frozen chicken breast + frozen Stouffer's lasagna ) * Microwave on high for 10 minutes ) + hot sauce of choice = Surprisingly delicious dinner when you're lazy and don't want to go out. Tastes like... chicken parmigiana without the breading.

One of the many... "scavenger dinners" I've had.

My (Sort Of) First Taste of White Castle's Burgers

What's crazy... is that I had White Castle in Malaysia as a kid. I don't remember what it tasted like. But we never went back.

Weird that there would be one... on the equator in a foreign country, but none on the West coast.

Snapshots from South Korea: Soondubu and More from Ddukbaegi Jip

@bionicgrrrl: I usually use Jinro Chamjinisulro Soju. It leaves a slightly smoky flavor behind cause of the charcoal filtration. Should be able to be found at your local K store. By the way not all the alcohol boils off, so depending oh how much you eat, it'll leave you a little buzzed. In case you plan to drive anywhere. :) I never noticed it until one of my less alcohol tolerant friends started turning red. I also highly recommend eating it with black rice, cause the nutty flavor complements the smoky flavor very well. I hope you find it to your liking. Reactions have been fairly positive.

@roboppy: Always happy to oblige.

Kimchi stew is probably my favorite comfort food. My recipe replaces all water in the bowl with soju instead. Tastes way better that way.... :)

The Kimchi Revolution May Finally Be Here

I buy the gigantic cosmos buckets all the time. Everytime I make Kim Chee stew it just takes so much.

Usually needs to sit outside on the counter overnight the day I buy it from the store before I put it in the fridge for additional fermentation. But that's just my taste.

The galleria market brand stuff is pretty good too. Somehow I like the cosmos one better.

The Ultimate Doughnut in Kuala Lumpur

Heh, that's what I used to eat growing up. Sadly, I haven't had one in..... 11 years or so. But Krispy Kreme is a pretty close second. The unglazed one fresh out of the oven is pretty fantastic.
