Jiu Hu Char (Stir-Fried Jicama with Dried Cuttlefish)

This Chinese New Year, I had the privilege of learning how to make jiu hu char, a beloved Nyonya dish, from my mum. For those unfamiliar, it’s a stir-fry of jicama (or bangkuang) and dried cuttlefish. Typically enjoyed as a side dish with rice or wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves, it embodies the essence of…

Chocolate Banana Bread

I’m not much of a baker and measuring ingredients with precision ain’t my style, but I will make an exception for this chocolate banana bread. I have made it over and over again, partly because it’s so forgiving and partly because it’s just that good. The beauty of this recipe is how it doesn’t demand…

Chinese Roast Chicken

Posted on January 9, 2025January 9, 2025 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Chinese Roast Chicken
Chinese Roast Chicken

For most of my life, I’ve regarded roast chicken as a dish flavoured with “Western” herbs like rosemary and thyme. Then at a Christmas party, I ate a roast chicken that overturned all my assumptions. The flavours were deep, complex and unlike any roast chicken I’d ever tasted. When I asked the chef for the…

Smoked Duck Carbonara

Smoked Duck Carbonara

When I first heard of smoked duck carbonara, I was very, very skeptical. Smoked duck as a replacement for bacon? No way, José! And I’m not even Italian! Fyi, bacon is not even the cured meat of choice for proper carbonara, ya? Italians traditionally make this pasta by tossing hot noodles (usually spaghetti) in a…

Cili Boh

Cili boh, chilli paste, cili giling. When I first dipped my toes into the cooking world, I came across these terms in Malaysian recipes and was thoroughly confused. Alamak, so many types of cili. What’s the difference? Actually, was there even a difference? If you are like me, be confused no more. The terms essentially…
