Food, food, food and blogging about it
We love eating, and what do we do in our spare time? We read about eating. Yup! That's my family. We're the sort of family that sits around at one meal contemplating what we will eat at the next meal. Sometimes we have meals planned a day or two ahead. We leave nothing (or not very much anyway) to chance.
I have a few favourite websites and blogs.
Rasa Malaysia is a good one. Being Malaysian, I often miss Malaysian food and having left home at 16, I never did learn to cook Malaysian food all that well. I am at the mercy of restaurants outside Malaysia. I also love reading Masak-masak with its gorgeous pictures of food. The current post has pictures of mouthwatering macarons. Mmm yum!
Our tastes are not limited to Malaysian fare, though. On a more diverse front, there is Eating Asia, a food blog that takes you through many parts of Asia, sampling the delights each region has to offer.
My husband's family is Filipino and I have never learnt to cook Filipino food either. I am learning now and aside from my mother-in-law's kitchen, I glean inspiration from blogs like Burnt Lumpia, pinoyfoodblog and Matakaw-ako. You know what? There's a whole list of Filipino food blogs here. My favourite, though, is Adobongblog. It is written by a Filipina living in New Zealand. Since I am in Australia, I can more or less assume that the ingredients she can obtain there are easily found in Sydney as well.
A little offbeat is Chopstick Cinema. Every week, a movie is chosen and reviewed along with a recipe. This year curries of Asia is the focus and every week there is a new curry recipe provided. It's interesting. A little off-beat but excellent reading. if you have not watched many Asian films (like me), then Chopstick Cinema is a great guide to some lesser known Asian movies. Beware, though, as the movies may not be that easy to come by if you do decide to watch them yourself!
Living in Sydney also means I have an active interest in restaurants around Sydney. I regularly read Grab your fork. Currently she is writing about her trip to Malaysia. Ah a foodie's dream. She, along with a handful of other Australian food bloggers were invited on a guided eating tour of Malaysia. One can only dream!
