I usually cook a batch of Miso Pasta for Christmas. Not exactly your idea of typical Christmas food, I know, but my good friend’s daughter, Kay, loves this and the family usually spends Christmas Eve with us so I cook what makes us happy. It’s …
Here’s a recipe which guest chef No. 1 tried out the other day. Feeling adventurous, he decided to make muachee one afternoon – a very simple glutinous rice cake snack, a streetfood usually sold by the vendors who go around on bicycles. These days, nobody …
This was over the Dumpling Festival season recently, when a friend passed over a big bag of salted egg whites after using up the yolks. I was thinking of various ways to cook with this and then I remembered this dish which I had in a Filipino friend’s house – Itlog na maalat.
So simple, you can whip this up in a jiffy, and it goes really well with grilled meat or grilled fish. We had this to go with rice and that was fine too.
Normally, you would use 2 hard boiled salted eggs for this. Who knew tomatoes would go so well with salted egg? Definitely a different way to change things up apart from having tomatoes in your usual salad.
Ingredients
3 tomatoes, cubed
150g salted egg white, cubed (or 2 salted eggs), cut into cubes
1 big onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped small
1/4 cup lime juice (or more, according to taste)
1 tablespoon soya sauce ( or fish sauce for added flavour)
dash of pepper
Method
Mix the tomatoes, salted egg, onion and garlic together briefly. Set aside. Mix the lime juice, soya sauce, and pepper, then pour over tomatoes/salted eggs.
And that’s it, folks! Eat this with some grilled meat and rice, and you’ll find it really gets your appetite going!
Who else is missing dining in at restaurants and being able to enjoy a good piece of steak? During a recent virtual Beef Up Webinar & Tasting, we had a chance to savour Australian beef branded under True Aussie beef, for real as lunch was …
I still had all this cream in the fridge so decided to change up the normal quiche with a springroll cup as I had run out of pie pastry and was too lazy to make my own. Essentially, this is very similar to the frittata, …
Heineken Malaysia Berhad has added premium wheat beer Edelweiss to its portfolio of award-winning beers and ciders. Born in the Alps and made with all-natural mountain ingredients, Edelweiss is now available across Peninsular Malaysia in bottles, cans and on draught.
Easy-to-drink with a refreshing finish and a subtle, fruity aftertaste, Edelweiss is a smooth wheat beer with a golden hue and a natural cloudiness. It is available fresh on draught in selected bars and restaurants, using the unique and innovative Edelweiss Blade draught machine, and also available in 330ml bottles and sleek 330ml cans. Stylish and beautifully-designed, the new Edelweiss Blade machine is a countertop draught dispenser which serves Edelweiss at a crisp Alpine temperature of 2°C.
Edelweiss’ brand position, Feel the Alps, is a further nod to Edelweiss’ authentic origins. The product aims to give beer drinkers a taste of the excitement and playfulness of life on the Alps – from the subtle fruit and floral notes, evoking feelings of walking through lush mountain valleys, to a smooth, cool finish like freshly-fallen snow.
The fresh, contemporary twist to a centuries-old wheat beer had its origins in the snow-capped heights of Austrian Alps, near the city of Salzburg, and its traditional heritage can be traced back to the 17th century. It remains one of Europe’s best-loved wheat beers.
Pablo Chabot, Marketing Director at HEINEKEN Malaysia said: “Edelweiss has a distinctive golden cloudiness and delicious fruity aftertaste. But it is about more than just great taste. It has this crisp, cool bite that leaves the drinker feeling refreshed. We have crafted this wheat beer to capture the spirit of the snow-capped peaks of Europe, where Edelweiss was born. We also want to bring people a wheat beer with the freshness of the Alps in every sip, even while staying home.”
Edelweiss is now available for purchase across Peninsular Malaysia at selected supermarkets and hypermarkets: 4-pack of 330ml cans at RM32.50 (RSP), or a 24-pack for RM185.00 (RSP).
Visit facebook.com/edelweissbeer.my and instagram.com/edelweissbeer.my/ for more deets. To purchase Edelweiss online or rent the Edelweiss Blade Draught Machine, check out Drinkies app (available on both iOS and android) or www.drinkies.my.
Edelweiss is for non-Muslims aged 21 and above only. Enjoy responsibly.

I was running out of ideas on how to cook minced pork, apart from the usual steam pork and black sauce dishes. Then a friend reminded me of this dish from my childhood. What’s with the name? Frankly I have no idea. That’s what my …
And so, it’s back to the kitchen again with MCO 3.0. Sigh, is there no end in sight? In times like these, we all need to eat cake! A friend passed me a few boxes of whipped cream so I was thinking what else could …
I know some people can eat the same thing day after day, but I get tired of ordering the same food by day 3. To cut the monotony, Tiger Beer, the champion of Asian street food, is adding more pizazz to mealtimes with its Tiger Street Food Box featuring exclusive, bold collaborations between classic street food favourites and some of KL’s hottest modern restaurants. And the best part is it gets delivered right up to your door step!
Choose from a range of innovative new collaborations based on authentic street food flavours, with mash-up dishes from Devi’s Corner, Yut Kee, myBurgerLab, Ticklish Ribs & ‘Wiches, Megah Taiwan Sausage, Mama Manta, LI, Fifty Tales and Choon Prawn Mee House. Fancy Ticklish Ribs & ‘Wiches legendary BBQ chicken wings with Devi’s Corner’s famous mango chutney? Why not? And of course, what would street food be without an ice-cold Tiger to pair it with? Each box comes with Tiger Beer or Tiger Crystal, the perfect partner to Asian street food.
From the myBurgerLab x Mama Manta ‘Flamin’ Hot Sambal Burger’ – a chicken patty in a bun slathered with a creamy lime sauce, paired with Mama Manta’s Grill Fish Sambal, perfected over 18 years, to Fifty Tales x Choon Prawn Mee House ‘Smoked Oil with Prawn Mee Broth Braised Pork’ – pork shoulder braised in prawn mee broth to soak up the flavours and served on noodles paired with a housemade smoked oil, one thing’s for certain – this ain’t your ordinary, boring food delivery.
Available for pre-order at www.tigerstreetfood.my, the Tiger Street Food Box will be delivered on the day of your choosing according to your location. Priced at RM28 for a one-person box, or RM48 for a two-person box, quantities are limited for each delivery day.
The Tiger Street Food Box will be available over the next three weekends in the Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Baru respectively, before returning to the Klang Valley again for the final week of the campaign. Each two-person box comes with two choices of mains, one choice of large side dish, and two 320ml cans of either Tiger Beer or Tiger Crystal. Each one-person box comes with one choice of main, one choice of side dish, and one 320ml can of either Tiger Beer or Tiger Crystal.
