Mee Tikus Viral in Medan Kidd, Ipoh

Posted on January 12, 2024January 12, 2024 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Mee Tikus Viral in Medan Kidd, Ipoh
Mee Tikus Viral in Medan Kidd, Ipoh

When somebody sent me a Tiktok video of a “mee tikus viral” in Ipoh, I was skeptical. They say Ipoh produces phenomenally picky eaters. I can’t speak for others, but my family is definitely proof of that. Many so-called viral shops and restaurants have failed my mum’s super-high standards. I finally had some peace and…

Mum’s Fried Beehoon

Posted on December 24, 2021January 15, 2022 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Mum’s Fried Beehoon
Mum’s Fried Beehoon

Mum’s fried beehoon is “very simple only.” Come to think of it, that’s her standard answer whenever I ask her for the recipe of virtually any dish she cooks. She’s telling the truth. When she describes the process to me, it DOES sound simple. Ingredient lists are typically short. The steps, few. But somehow in…

Thai Prawn Glass Noodles

Posted on April 30, 2021June 27, 2021 By Alexandra Wong 4 Comments on Thai Prawn Glass Noodles
Thai Prawn Glass Noodles

I first ate iconic Thai dish goong ob woonsen (prawn glass noodles) 20 years ago at a restaurant in Thailand, while travelling with my mum and aunt. So long ago, yet I can still remember the taste like yesterday. The combination of juicy fresh prawns and saucy noodles in a spicy and fragrant peppery paste…

Biang Biang Pasta

Biang Biang Pasta

Traditionalists might wanna look away: this unapologetic hack on biang biang noodles might make you weep! I’ve long heard about biang biang noodles, a Xian classic dish comprising thick, hand-pulled noodles tossed in a dangerously spicy chilli oil sauce. I first tried it at Chocha Foodstore and was blown away by how flavourful, delicious and…

Kerabu Beehoon

Posted on October 11, 2020June 21, 2021 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Kerabu Beehoon
Kerabu Beehoon

Sometimes called noodle salad, kerabu beehoon is a Nyonya dish of rice vermicelli and lots of fresh herbs and aromatics, tossed with a spicy sauce and zesty lime juice. Colourful and refreshing, it’s a delicious representation of Malaysia’s diverse culinary culture. While I’ve eaten this many times before, it took a weekend getaway at EQ…

Mee Goreng Makcik Kantin

Posted on July 20, 2020June 27, 2021 By Alexandra Wong 2 Comments on Mee Goreng Makcik Kantin
Mee Goreng Makcik Kantin

If you’ve attended a Malaysian national school, you would have fond memories of mee goreng makcik kantin. Or as some of us call it, mee kosong. Because this type of fried noodles was really, literally “kosong” (empty): hardly any vegetables, no meat to speak of, not even egg, the cheapest of proteins. But somehow the…

Wat Tan Hor

Wat Tan Hor

  Next to kai si hor fun, wat tan hor must be the most popular noodle dish in Ipoh. I’ve never received so many responses to my Instastories until I posted a picture of the wat tan hor I made last Friday! A rich eggy sauce poured over wok-charred rice noodles loaded with vegetables and…

Dried Shrimp Fried Beehoon

Dried Shrimp Fried Beehoon

How do you prevent fried beehoon from sticking to the wok? Ask any cook and that is probably their no 1 pet peeve when cooking fried beehoon, a simple and most delicious dish. Washing the wok after frying, however, is a pain of epic proportions. I usually soak the wok in hot water to “lift”…

Sang Har Meen

Posted on May 27, 2020June 21, 2021 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Sang Har Meen
Sang Har Meen

Sang har meen brings back wonderful memories. Growing up, I would visit my relatives in Bukit Bintang whenever I came to Kuala Lumpur. The neighbourhood was a hotspot for sang har meen, a popular Chinese restaurant dish featuring giant river prawns atop a bed of crispy noodles swimming in a rich briny sauce. Yum!! The…

Braised Yee Mee

Making braised yee mee always makes me feel sentimental because it was the first dish my mum ever taught me to make. Check out my IMPROVED braised yee mee recipe here! It’s her go-to solution for days when she can’t decide what to cook. Why? Because it’s easy, tasty, and a Malaysian kitchen always has…

Bittergourd Fried Beehoon

Bittergourd Fried Beehoon

Bittergourd, dried shrimp and fried beehoon? Sounds strange? Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it, though. When this dish appeared at a table in a Chinese restaurant in Kuching a few years ago, I was skeptical as well. Seeing the look on my face, my Kuching host merely smiled and told me that it’s a…

Scallion Oil Noodles

Angel hair pasta tossed in scallion oil, dark and light soya sauce, boiled broccoli and prawn gyoza. Super simple, super yummy, and quite healthy 😊 What’s scallion oil, you ask? It’s the main star in cong yau meen or scallion oil noodles, which I first heard of when I watched The Wandering Earth, a Chinese…
