This post has been a few months in the making. I planned to post this in November, but to cut a very long story short – writer’s block. During my last visit to Malaysia, we stumbled upon the wonderful Boat Noodle at Heritage Lane, Damansara where there were beautiful little bowls of noodle soup in…

Egg Fried Rice
I have not posted fried rice recipes for a long time, even though I have Makmah’s Present recipe book to utilise from. I made a roast chicken recipe that had leftovers the other day and I decided to make an egg fried rice recipe (and use the leftover chicken, shredded into small chunks) for…
