  • Hi, here is my humble personal take. I just find and watch any tutorials that I need. At the end of the day, my lessons are mostly learnt by doing my own projects. You are going to like what you like anyway, if you like a certain tutor you will find out eventually. I personally like tutors who teach me what others do not, and these tutors are not big, they just upload a video or two every now and then. I search by most recent, or specific terms. Most mainstream ones like you have mentioned only teach surface stuff, not all every video, but yea, you get what I mean.







  • Aside from the more famous ayam pansuh (chicken cooked in bamboo), I personally go crazy for daun ubi (pounded vegetable dish). We cooked this once at home ourselves, but this one was tough work with low yield compared to the effort put in, and the stench took days to leave our hands. We decided it’s better to just order this dish. Props, major props!

    I like midin, kangkung, cangkuk manis/manicai too but these are found everywhere, most if not all Chinese restaurants here also have them. Stir fried with belacan (like sambal) or garlic.



  • Last dinner, I couldn’t finish the kueh tiaw ayam RM8 I ordered because it was too oily, so I tapao-ed the leftover to turn it into cantonese kueh tiaw at home. I suddenly remembered I had actually wanted kueh tiaw basah so I turned it into kueh tiaw basah instead. Currently enjoying it, 6.30am. I was going to order Dayak food but the young worker taking my order was having a mental breakdown, later I found out the poor guy’s electrical switch or what needed fixing, so I had to cancel and reorder from another stall after waiting for 15minutes. I was actually in a hurry because there were people waiting for the food my mum tapao-ed. Not that urgent but the entire ordeal took 30mins until my kueh tiaw finally arrived. Quite a pity because I was wanting to enjoy Dayak food with my mum who loves it, for close to a month already.

    Also very thankful to the few who replied my post yesterday telling me it was indeed haze. Although the haze went by quickly, I shall be more cautious today. Sniff sniff before opening windows.
