I am a mother of 3 living in Foster City,CA who is very passionate about all Asian cooking.Whether it is Indian,Chinese,Malaysian,Thai,Filipino and etc.... Asian cooking has been very dear to me as it brings back good memories.Growing up in Malaysia I have been exposed to many different cultures as Malaysia is a very multicultural country.Malaysia is the home of multiple ethnicity which found its roots during the colonial times where hundreds and thousands of immigrants arrived here to find an honest living in this prosperous land. The migrants’ mostly Chinese working in the tin mines and the Indians placed along the rubber estates brought along with them their cultures not forgetting rich culinary heritages. I have been in the US for 11 years now and would love to share recipes,awnser any questions and talk about all Asian cooking.
