Dear readers,My apologies for the long hiatus. If you've realised this blog has only been filled with advertisement posts lately. The truth is I haven't been cooking that much lately - hence no real posts to fill.My family of two is going vegetarian for 30 days for religious purposes. It is a little challenging for me to cook varied vegetarian meals without the food tasting funny or plain

Post contributed by Toni JensenMy husband and I have recently started watching “Modern Family.” It is probably the funniest show I have seen in a long time. I am so glad that we have DIRECT TV so we can record it and watch it any time we want. It is the one show that my husband and I both enjoy, so we look forward to watching it together every week. Most of the time I watch reality shows and he

I appreciate the guest post, Emerson MosesSince my boyfriend upgraded to direct TV this year, our weekends and Monday nights have consisted of football, football and more football! Don’t get me wrong; I love football just as much as the next girl, but watching every NFL game just because of his Fantasy team is starting to get redundant. Sometimes I think I should just sign up for a Fantasy league

As a busy corporate worker, investing in a good fridge is imperative in allowing me to dish out quick dinners on busy weekdays. I would usually purchase meats and vegetables over the weekend and blend ready made sauces and purees to enable 30-minute dinners. A couple of items which are on my regular list for Asian/Indian are:1. Cut chicken stashed in my freezer2. Vegetables such as long beans,

Guest post written by Jessie BrightonI've learned that as soon as I get Christmas gifts for my kids, that I need to wrap them up because if I hide them unwrapped they'll find them. It started happening a few years ago when I found some gifts that had been disturbed. But I thought that I wouldnÕt' have to worry about that with our dog's toys that we normally get him for Christmas to stop him from

Phew - 2010 seems to at its tail and I barely remember doing much this year. Looking back at my posts, my last post was in 2009. 2010 has been busy and now that 2011 is coming on my significant other and I are busy moving in to our new crib. Its a nice warm feeling to move in together after living apart for so many years during our courting days. Weekends are generally spent at home depots trying

It has been a great pleasure hosting the Grow Your Own #35 event this month and I sincerely thank all those of you who've taken the effort to submit your dishes for this event.Hoping I'm not too late, I'm going to finally send in my GYO submission before the clock strikes 12 in a couple of hours today.

As many of you might already be aware of, I’m a frequent participant of Andrea’s Grow Your Own event. I love the feeling of picking fresh produce from the garden and putting them right through the stir fry pan and on the dining platter and with the myriad of vegetables and herbs in my garden, I’m thankful I wouldn’t be running out of ideas so soon. It was delightful to have the opportunity to

The last would probably have been back in March when I was in India, blissfully chomping down premium barfi's from Lyallpurs.

I had the pleasure of discovering this hidden gem two weeks ago when April planned for a tweetup (read: gathering of likeminded twitter addicts). Startled up from bed at 10.15 am when I was supposed to meet the tweeps at 10.30 am. Scrambled out of bed – got dressed and off I went on my way. A few missed turns here and there (sorry guys) and I finally arrived at the sanctum of the spicy soup.I was

Delicious Crustaceans, originally uploaded by MasalaHeaven.I simply heart crabs :)Usually when I need my crabby fix, I’d drive down to the ubiquitous dai chow type seafood restaurants in Klang Valley for amazing mudcrabs cooked either the spicy Kam Heong style, with salted egg yolks or plain steamed.Back home however, when dad gets the mood he’d buy flower crabs from the local market and to suit

An omelette - what does it say? A simple fried egg you may say. I beg to differ - I've always been craving the perfect omelette. The closest I've gotten so far was those egg stations in morning buffet breakfasts during my hotel stays and what we used to get at home were those unappetising limp and overcooked omelettes. Fiddling on google one day, I tried searching for tips for the perfect

As mentioned in my previous posting for Baingan Masala, we have began growing a couple of items in our yard - particularly cause it's fun, healthy and really convinient.Dad has somewhat began a herb garden at one side-with mint, basil, rosemary on top of the curry leave and pandan plant which we use ubiquitously in Indian and Malaysian cooking.On a personal note, I've began frequent gym workouts

Good Malaccan-Portugese cuisine in Klang Valley is sadly a rare find. While pouring through forums one day in search for some enlightment , I was surprised to find that a highly recommended spot for Kristang (Portugese Malaccan) food just is smack right at my backyard.Heading over one day for dinner to this rather popular outdoor foodcourt for Cheras dwellers, I was welcomed at the Portugese

Weekday breakfasts is generally a rushed endeavour. My normal drill would include a quick glance around the kitchen to find out whats available - chuck bread in toaster - slap on some fruit preserve or a quick omelette - grab some cold low fat milk and out I go to fight through the crazy morning traffic.Wanting something a little filling one morning, I decided to to try out something new hence I

Yesterday saw KL being drenched in a heavy downpour, the rain began on a high note in the early evening and reduced to a drizzle through out the night. Long and consistent drizzles almost always creates a moody weather - I’d agree to a certain point. It was cold and moist and made me crave of soothing hot liquids and for the vapours to fall over my face to brighten it up. Whenever I crave for a

When eating out, I try to avoid dining in Indian establishments. One cause I’m eating Indian food at home all the time and many at times I find my home cooked food way more delicious, secondly I'm just too adventurous to be having sambhars and curries all the time (Gastrointestinally Chinese, remember ;))My Spicy Corner, tucked in a corner of Sungei Way (near SS1) in Petaling Jaya caught my

Sensations of chocolate bursting at every bite! I absolutely love chocolate. I mean who doesn't - making something chocolatey is always regarded safe - people would enjoy it and if don't well - they'd love you. I got back early from work one evening and just felt like having choc muffins. Off I went searching for a good recipe, hunted for my baking equipments and drove up to the local store to

The thing about fish cutlets is that it invokes memories of childhood. Back when we were much younger, fish cutlets was the speciality of our then neighbour cum babysitter. If we were in luck for the day, aunty would pack a tupperware filled with her prized fish cutlets for us to take home in the evening. We're all grown up now and do not meet her regularly but she still sends over a tupperware

I noticed a copy of At Home With Amy Beh 3 lying around at home one weekend - apparently given as a gift to mom.  My first impression on the book wasn't too impressive - some recipes looked good while most of it looked rather plain and uninteresting.  I tried the Dry Curry Chicken recipe which incorporated a blend of spices, lemongrass, chillies, candlenuts, galangal and yogurt.

It's funny how I live in a multiethnic country yet for the first time I came across a dining establishment that had a good representation of all three major ethnic cuisines. My dinner at Rumahku Gallery & Cafe was an interesting one. I particularly liked the simple decor of the refurbished bungalow.

The whole of Sri Petaling was well jam packed on Sunday night as if free food was going out but we managed to get a parking spot anyway.Here's the address of the place in case you'd like to know

It is a well known fact that a diet with oats has its health benefits due to its high fiber and Vitamin B1 content significantly reducing diseases due to cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer.We all know its good but oats can be rather bland by itself and be a real put off if it were to be taken daily. However, being masked in another form all together it actually can be a

I know its been a long time but I have been since busy with my life pursuits and its a releive that the Bloggers Buff 2007 went on successfully. Two weeks back I noticed a Thai Fair going on at the carpark of the Cheras Market Centre as I was doing my groceries. Having tried the food once during the fair at South City Plaze, I wanted to try it again but was quite full after lunch. The

I experimented making spiced coffee a few weeks ago and it has totally got me hooked. Needless to say, I have stopped making coffee the conventional way anymore. Although I do not crave a daily caffeine fix, this drink does give comfort during the cold rainy nights and on those breezy mornings for breakfast. To fix myself a cuppa, I boiled 1 part milk to 1 part water on the stove and

I had been wanting to visit the newly opened Just Heavenly Pleasures in Damansara Epicure for sometime after numerous food reviews had been made about it. After weeks of procrastination, I finally brought myself and a new buddy's to drop by and found out that their launching was going on. Call that good timing. The food served was really delicious and it was a pity that we were in a hurry to

Sorry for the sudden absense from the blog world, my PC has been kicking up a fuss and I finally got everything settled with it. Since I've started, I have been covering mostly home cooked dishes so I'd like to make a slight diversion from my regular style and do a dining review instead. For fathers day, Dad decided he wanted to go for Korean BBQ and we remembered dining sometime back in

Sorry for the long absence from the blog world, I will some or rather make it up by posting more often now. After posting a lot on Indian cooking previously, I decided to come out of the cocoon and try something rather different. The Malaysian herb rice or "nasi ulam" is something I've heard and read about but have yet to taste. This week I decided to put on a noob like face and get some

My mom has been wanting to make a simple butter cake for a long time but we kept postponing the plan. Last weekend it finally materialized and we made an orange butter cake since we had oranges lying down in the refridgerator. Making the cake reminded me of my childhood days. Those days when anyone made cakes we would hopefully wait until the batter is dished out into the baking pan so that we

This is my 2nd post in 2 days and thats kinda good actually..but then I'm free now and bumming around so I can post often. There was a lot of milk lying around in the fridge since our milkman dutifully delivers them daily yet we were not religiously consuming them. Not wanting it to go sour, I thought I'd transform it into a sweet rice porridge dish known as "Kheer" in north india and "

I have been making Prawns' curry with this particular method for a couple of times and has always gained thumbs up from everyone. The curry is slightly sweet from the essence of the prawns and the tomatoes and is creamy and spicy with the myriad of spices added.To make it at home:Blend 1 large onion + 3 cloves garlic + 1 inch ginger + 1 medium sized tomatoPrepare spices as belowAdd about 1-2

Hello people, This is my first ever blog post in Masala Heaven. I had always planned to start up a food blog or "flog" if you might call it but was hindered by many factors. Basically, I don't really eat out that much and previously I never really had the time to cook. However, I had the passion towards good food and regularly visited food blogs to satisfy my yearnings. Now that I have time
