Hi Fong, these macaroons are for you for inspiring me to make them.

I was talking to my sis the other night and she was telling me Macaroons are the buzz in KL. These macaroons are made from flaked coconuts

2/3 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or lemon extract


5 1/2 cups shredded coconut

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Use an ice cream scoop to drop dough onto tray lined with parchment paper

I used the side of a fork to make indentments around the macaroon

I have been living overseas for many years but still miss the Malaysian hawker style street food especially nasi lemak, curry laksa, roti canai, ice kachang and lots more. So today, I made some Loh Mei Fan to satisfy my Malaysian cravings. Loh Mei Fan, one of my favorite breakfast meal since a kid

Ingredients shallots, dried shrimps, chinese sausage and glutinious rice which has been soaked overnight

First I fried the shallots then add in the dried shrimp and sausage

Add in rice, dark soy sauce, five spice powder, salt to taste

Put rice into steamer. Every 15 minutes I spray with water to cook the rice.

DaDa the loh mei fan.

I do not follow any recipe only remember how my mom used to cook it every weekend for our breakfast.
