Notes about Recipes in this book

• Lemongrass and ginger meatballs with spicy rice vermicelli salad (Kerabu meehoon pedas dengan bebola daging serai dan halia)

  • Stephenn31 on May 27, 2024

    The meat lollipops were good. The sambal on the noodles was a bit bracing with all the raw onion/shallot and garlic. That gave it enough picant-ness without adding too much chili

• Clay pot chicken rice (Nasi ayam claypot)

  • twoyolks on March 08, 2018

    I really liked the shiitakes in this. I used fresh shiitakes because I had some. I didn't really care for the sausage and would leave it out in the future.

• Chili pan mee (Cili pan mee)

  • twoyolks on February 22, 2021

    The sauce was good but it didn't at all mix with the noodles. Just a weird combination.

• Ground pork with cilantro and fish sauce noodles (Hakka mee)

  • twoyolks on October 16, 2017

    I liked this but it just turned out too sweet for me. It got a bit better when I added some siracha to it.

  • Stephenn31 on September 11, 2024

    Simple noodle recipe. Given the prior comment about sweetness I cut the sugar in half which helped.

• Stir-fried flat rice noodles with prawns (Prawn cha keow teow)

  • jenburkholder on October 04, 2022

    I've now made two versions of this dish, so think it's not the recipe - it's me. I just don't love it. It feels a bit one-dimensional and not that interesting to eat. If you like sweet soy and a bit of wok hei, this may be for you. I had to add something spicy and a squeeze of lime to enjoy it.

• Fried mamak noodles (Mee goreng mamak)

  • liya_t306lc on June 10, 2026

    It was easy and the recipe was versatile. It was more spicy than I liked. Less chili next time. It had good flavor

• Red-braised pork ribs (Rusuk merah)

  • Stephenn31 on February 19, 2023

    Made in the slow cooker and turned out really well. Added some Chinese bean paste instead of the soy dried cake and turned out well

• Indian mutton curry (Kari kambing India)

  • Nancarrow on January 18, 2023

    Make the spice paste and set aside.... and it's never mentioned again. At least in the Kindle version. ?????

• Beef rendang (Rendang daging)

  • Clog on July 07, 2025

    We absolutely loved this. The beef was so tender. I served it very simply with garden peas and rice. That was all it needed.

• Stir-fried beef and celery (Daging lembu dan saderi)

  • jbny on July 14, 2021

    good, but may need some spicing up. can add more/other vegetables

• Steamed hake with garlic oil and oyster sauce (Ikan kukus sos tiram dan minyak bawang putih)

  • TrishaCP on September 11, 2022

    This was very easy and very flavorful. I used skinless rockfish as a sub for the hake.

  • Clog on January 30, 2024

    A beautiful way to steam hake. The oyster sauce and the spring onion gave it just a hint of sweetness.

• Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with shrimp chili oil (Kubis minyak hebi)

  • Stephenn31 on February 07, 2026

    Flavourful but not overly fishy. A good crunchy side. Can moderate the heat based on the chilis used

• Stir-fried lettuce (Sayur goreng)

  • twoyolks on March 08, 2018

    I found the stir-fried lettuce to have an unusual flavor. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't good.

  • Pandan on July 15, 2024

    I just love stir fried iceberg lettuce! Just two things I would change about this recipe: cut up the salad a bit smaller and omit the water. It would have been nicer with just the oyster sauce.

• Roast chicken (Ayam panggang)

  • Anea25 on March 02, 2026

    very nice and fresh tasting roast chicken quick and easy recipe that doesn't require much marinating time
