Many homesick Malaysians are stranded overseas during this global pandemic. Aside from being separated away from their loved ones in homeland, some would miss the taste of the authentic Malaysian food.

Priyadashini Maganathan, otherwise known as Priya, migrated to Isle of Man after marriage in 2018 when she was 27-years-old. The Puchong native made a point to visit her single mother annually until last year, her plan was crushed. She hasn’t been home for two years.

One of the ways Priya cope with homesickness is to cook Malaysian food. She started cooking as a hobby after moving to Isle of Man, an island located approximately 3 hours ferry ride from Liverpool in the UK.

As a wedding present, Priya’s mother gave her a written recipe book. Apart from seeking guidance from her mother, she learned how to cook herself by watching online videos.  

Realising that she has a talent for cooking, Priya also found it hard to get a job with her marketing background hence she decided to start Makan at IOM, a food delivery business specializing in Malaysian cuisine.

This Malaysian Living In Isle Of Man Sells and Delivers Nasi Lemak and Many More Malaysian Food

Priya specialises in cooking nasi lemak, chicken rice, rendang, and curry puffs which have also been a hit amongst Malaysians who are living there.

Malaysian food is not something unheard of amongst people who live in Isle of Man and the UK. “They are quite familiar actually. Even many people on the island have been to Malaysia or Singapore,” Priya shared.

In terms of flavour and spicy level, Priya also gets local customers but tweaks her recipes to reduce the level of spiciness to fit the locals’ taste buds. She tries her best to keep the authenticity of the flavours.

With the economy opening back up, Priya says that sales have been picking up

During the lockdowns in UK, Priya’s business was affected and she had to resort to home deliveries as offices were closed. However as the UK government has opened up the economy now, things are getting back to normal for Makan at IOM and Priya.

Priya feels thankful that her husband’s moral support has been of much help. Cooking wise, it wasn’t so much as the UK and Isle of Man apply standard and strict policy on food hygiene and food handling. Priya even needed to attend a mandatory one-day course and get a certificate for food hygiene.

“But for our personal meals, he definitely helps me. He even makes a good Wantan Mee,” said Priya, cheekily adding that she really enjoyed her husband’s home cooked Malaysian meal.

As a start-up coping with the pandemic, Priya and Makan at IOM rose soared to higher heights by persevering in the face of adversity and promoting flavours of Malaysia.

We all have plans to stay in touch with our friends after secondary school but sometimes such plans fail and the friendships you built in your youth are lost as an adult. Fortunately, this is not the case for six close friends from Methodist Boys School in KL.

Started in December 2020, Co-Cane is founded by a group of six engineering and applied mathematics graduates, who happens to be friends since secondary school.

The Inspiration Behind Co-Cane

Image Credit: cocanekl/Instagram

What’s the inspiration behind the brand? The founders did not want it to be just another ordinary drinks shop. Therefore they decided to come up with some fusion that they could infuse into the juices. The six co-founders put their degree in engineering to good use by engineering different flavours and fusion of drinks.

Co-Cane is a beverage stall specialises in sugar cane and coconut drinks. Located at a cozy nook at Jalan Sentul Pasar Dalam, they specializes in sugar cane and coconut drinks. Customers will also enjoy a plethora of sugar cane and coconut based drinks, price range of RM3.50 to RM7.50.

Co-cane’s sugarcane juice & coconut water (500ml bottle)

Menu of Co-cane in 2021.

Co-cane serves freshly brewed drinks with no added sugar (except for their coconut shake) and preservatives which is perfect for all the health enthusiasts out there.

Check out some of their top flavours:

Mango Cane (Regular cup)

Ginger Cane (Large Cup) & Original Coconut Shake With Oreo Chunks (Regular cup)

Pine Cane with QQ Jelly Topping (Regular cup)

Cojito – it’s Co-cane’s take on a virgin mojito

Melon Cane (Regular cup)

The six friends were going back and forth for a while on what to name the stall. “Amongst other name that came into contention was Sugarplace, Sugar.co, Cane and Co. The name Co-Cane was what we could say came to us in a lightning moment,” said Danesh K, head of Co-Cane social media marketing. “Everyone was happy with that name as it is catchy and would definitely get attention from the public!”

With a stellar menu of drinks and a strong will to succeed, these boys are proving that they are here to stay and to wow our taste buds. Whether you’re a coconut water lover or sugarcane lover, or you love a mix of everything, as we Malaysians usually do, you can certainly find the perfect drink to tickle your fancy.

With another wave of MCO and only essential businesses being allowed to operate, it surely must be dull to not be able to cafe hop. Rest assured, when the wait is over you can once again be free to visit Instagrammable cafes all around town. On that note, Nippori Bistro was one of the most talked about cafes among foodies in 2020.

“So what is all the fuss about Nippori Bistro?”

Nippori Bistro is founded by the same brain child as Nippori Japanese Cafe in Empire Damansara. The founder, Daichi Fukuzato, 31, comes from an interracial background. His mother is a Malaysian-Chinese whereas his father is a native Japanese.

Daichi & His Family, The Brains Behind Nippori

Daichi & His Family, The Brains Behind Nippori

The idea of Nippori Bistro came about 3 years back, knowing there’s a market opportunity, Daichi had combined the most desirable Japanese and European food together. With that concept in mind came the birth of Nippori Bistro

Image Source: @jonathannnlee

Image Source: @shiqin__c

Nippori Bistro was opened in October 2020. Daichi cited the venture was also inspired by the time when he studied hospitality in Switzerland. In fact, the obese Mona Lisa portrait in Nippori Bistro was supposed to be something else. 

Image Source: zoe_toh

“I even thought of placing an English lady in a kimono since our restaurant concept was fusion. But in the end, I couldn’t make any decision until one day I was scrolling through my old album, and saw a photo of myself in Paris when I was in University, I found the picture of Mona Lisa at the art museum.” – the founder Daichi shared with us.

Image Source: trisharandomeats

This then sparked a memory of tourists flooding and gushing all over Mona Lisa’s picture which led to the idea of putting up a portrait of an obese Mona Lisa with a glass of wine in hand. Patrons are now left in awe, as this is now the most Instagrammable spot in the entire bistro.

Image Source: laip3ng5124___ig

“I remember everyone was crazy standing in front of the portrait Mona Lisa taking pictures of her which reminded me how famous and well known she is to the world. So I decided why not put a “huge” Mona Lisa on our wall to represent Nippori Bistro” Daichi added.

As soon as you step into this 2000sqft cafe, a sophisticated but not overly done ambiance washes over you. The interior is designed in a way that gives out a hint of British colonial residence. A very classic and elegant takeover is what Nippori Bistro is.

The sugar, spice and inspiration behind the menu

Specialising in Asian fusion cuisine, some of the top dishes served here are the Foie Gras Heaven (sushi topped with foie gras) and the Deep Sea Konbu Pasta (Pasta-Italian, Konbu Japanese).

Located at the far corner of the cafe is a French pastry counter with cakes and sweet treats to satisfy your sweet tooth. Daichi was quick to mention that Nippori Bistro bakes all their pastries and cakes in-house.

Image Source: Nippori Bistro

If people just come here for ONE dish, what would you recommend them to try? 

“Deep sea kombu spaghetti” (But if the person don’t like heavy cream feeling, don’t go for it) Daichi said.

Image Source: Fun N’ Taste

Poshly designed, the delectable desserts are kept in a glass container right beside the striking orange high stool. Among the favourites are the Belgium Mona Lisa, Kyoto Mona Lisa and Hokkaido Burnt cheesecake.

Many fusion cuisines aren’t successful in Malaysia, but what makes Nippori Bistro different?

Daichi believes most people in the Asian-fusion industry miss out on a crucial element that drives them forward which is passion. You cannot simply put Roasted Pork on Nasi Lemak and call it a fusion dish, you have to make sure the flavours are on point and gel well.

Looking back on his journey so far, Daichi noted that “we run a restaurant not because of money; it’s all about “passion”. I feel some restaurant owners forget this important thing. 

Another important element is to have a strong identity. For example, Nippori Japanese Cafe is known for its Japanese home cooked concept, whereas Nippori Bistro is known for its Japanese-European concept.

Since it’s MCO 2.0, Nippori Bistro is not open for dine in, however you can try their amazing dishes via takeaway or delivery.

‘Sek Bao’ In KL Serves 7 Flavours Of Bao, Including Nasi Kerabu, Korean & More Flavours https://funntaste.com/sek-bao7-flavours-bao-nasi-kerabu-bao-korean/ Sun, 27 Dec 2020 14:04:44 +0000 https://funntaste.com/?p=187140 If pandemic lockdown has stimulated a creative idea for food, SekBao is a delicious idea conceived from the kitchens of MCO.

The post ‘Sek Bao’ In KL Serves 7 Flavours Of Bao, Including Nasi Kerabu, Korean & More Flavours appeared first on Fun N' Taste.

]]>

There’s nothing quite appetizing as a steamed buns, otherwise known as Bao, hitting in all the right flavour and textures. Now imagine that a soft, fluffy bao wrapped around a savoury or sweet filling *chef’s kiss*.

If pandemic lockdown has stimulated a creative idea for food, Sek Bao is a delicious idea conceived from the kitchens of MCO.

Yap Zhen Yang, an engineer for 12 years opened Yeah Cuisine in 2018, a Chinese restaurant serving up Hakka Style food, that offer unlimited refills of pork lards.

During the lockdown earlier this year in March, he was experimenting with the flavours inspired by his travel trips around the world, particularly in Asia.

There came this idea to make this into what we know as Sek Bao today.

Happiness Is Now In A “BAO”

Sek Bao’s concept is to bring Asian flavours around the traditional soft and fluffy bao. Everything, apart from the baos, are made from scratch with authentic ingredients from original recipes to ensure that the taste is the same as where it comes from.

Their baos come in 7 flavours: 

  • Korean Fried Chicken Bao

The most popular item in the menu is their Korean Fried Chicken Bao, since it is something that most are familiar with.

If that’s not enough to make you try it, you’ll be amused to know that the Korean Fried Chicken Bao is also called the O’Bao Gangnam Style. 10/10 would try for the pun.

  • Vietnamese BBQ Chicken Bao

Based on the traditional Broken Rice (a.k.a. Cơm tấm) dish in Ho Chi Minh.

  • Thai BBQ Pork Bao

This is literally Thai Street food in a bao. One bite of that and you are transported directly to the hustle and bustle of the streets of Bangkok. It’s like you can almost hear the tuk tuks!

For those who prefer a much more local menu, these 3 bao options will still allow you to “Cuti-Cuti Malaysia”.  

  • Nasi Lemak Pau
  • Hainanese Chicken Bao
  • Nyonya Assam Fish Bao

The Nyonya Assam Fish Bao was inspired by the historical Malacca. We Malaysians love a good crispy and tangy combo! So, are you surprised that this bao is also called the Fillet O’Fish for Malaysians?

  • Cincalok Fried Chicken Bao

Similar to the distinct colors of Nasi Kerabu, your bao will have butterfly pea flower kerabu mayo to give it that signature blue color.

Those that want a meal with a little bit of everything, may consider top up RM3 to get 1 side dish and 1 drink.

A mess-free meal is the best meal for on-the-goers. With the large selections of baos, there is surely something for everyone. You can order for delivery or pick up at link below:

Order Link: https://sekbao.oddle.me/en_MY/

Rest assured the sauces are individually packed, and everything cradled into a soft, fluffy baos. The baos are also neutral in flavour so it would not change the flavour of the fillings. Making each bite as delicious as the next!

Sek Bao 包你飽

Hours:
[Pick Up] 11AM – 3PM

2020 has got to be the most challenging year for extroverts who love to hangout and attend parties! Since most of us can’t gather physically (due to Covid 19), most of the usual meetings and classes are limited to Zoom Calls and Skype Calls.

With celebrations such as Dongzhi, Christmas and New Year coming up, you might wonder how we can spend quality time with our friends and family?

The Answer? Virtual Party!

Image Credit: alamy.com

So what is a Virtual Party? Virtual Party is where you entertain friends and family in a separate location but together digitally, such parties can be conducted via various apps and software which are free and available online.

Today we’ll show you five easy steps to host a virtual party.

Step 1: Pick the best date

Image Credit: unsplash.com by Estée Janssens

This may be a no brainer but for those who have friends or relatives that are stranded in foreign country, do check the time zone before setting the date.

The best date would be Friday or Saturday night because most of us around the world won’t be working around that time.

Step 2: Find a suitable but fun theme

Image Credit: bemorepanda.com

Just like parties in-person, having a theme can help make your party more memorable.

Some ideas to think about include a sleepover theme where you get your guests to put on their best pajamas. Or simple things like colour-coding your outfits would be great as well!

Regardless which theme you go for, it will add to the feeling of togetherness although not being together in-person.

Step 3: Buy Your Beer

Socialising and drinking go great together. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is one of the best drinks any beer lover could come to love and enjoy. Thanks to its roasty smokey malt taste, which goes wonderful with food.

In addition to that, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is easily available in most of the places in Malaysia. You can now get it at all supermarkets and hypermarkets in Malaysia.

Furthermore, when you purchase their 8-can pack Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, you will get a FREE Pint Glass.

It’s available at selected supermarkets and hypermarkets nationwide. For full list of the participating stores: click here

Step 4: Plan a virtual meal together

If gathering for you usually means going out for a delicious meal, you don’t have to sacrifice that just because everyone’s at home.

For the home chefs, tell your friends ahead of time that you want to cook together so that your friends can buy the right ingredients for the meal you guys plan to cook.

Or you can just order Food Delivery right to each other’s doorstep, film the entire process and eat together while enjoying Guinness Foreign Extra Stout.

If eating on the table, donning fancy outfits or getting a great candle light will help create a fancier ambience, do it!

Step 5: Play virtual games and activities

It takes strong bonds between friends to make meaningful reunions. To really get to know someone in-depth, move past the small talk and ask these questions set by Guinness’ Virtual Pub Quiz. You’ll become way closer with your friends.

Yes, Guinness has set up a Virtual Pub Quiz with deep and intimate questions you should ask your friends (and vice versa) to see how well they know you. Expect chummy questions like “What’s my favourite type of music?” and “What’s my most embarrassing moment?”.

Click here for the quiz: https://www.drinkies.my/guinness-quiz

There you go, that’s how you organise a virtual party with friends in 5 simple steps. So have a good time, and enjoy the bittersweet and almost coffee-like taste of Guinness that provides a full-bodied texture that is bold and flavourful as you connect with people you care about over a pint.

Guinness Terms & Conditions:

  • This redemption is open to non-Muslims aged 21 years old and above only
  • Please drink responsibly and in moderation. Do not drink and drive.

Get this aromatic Chili Pan Mee from Mak Cik Wong Chili Pan Mee!

Feature Image Credit: Fun N’ Taste

Chili Pan Mee is usually enjoyed with minced pork, ikan bilis, fried onions topped with a poached egg. It’s traditionally sold with non halal ingredients, which makes Halal Pan Mee a rare sight in the market.

So when we came across Mak Cik Wong Chili Pan Mee, we knew we had to talk about it!

Combining Professions & Love Towards Cooking

Feature Image Credit: Fun N’ Taste

Sylvia Wong and her husband Zac are huge fans of Chili Pan Mee and they want to be able to share this dish with their Muslim friends. 

The couple duo have been in the advertising industry for more than a decade before dipping their toes into selling Chilli Pan Mee. Being a self-described foodie and home cook, their weekends are spent in the kitchen or just out hunting for the next best thing out there to eat. 

“So, I started to experiment with the chili and the marination of the minced chicken. After a few good tries, I finally found the perfect recipe to make this halal version of Chili Pan Mee,” Sylvia said.

Image Credit: Mak Cik Wong Chili Pan Mee

She then shared it with her friends and family and everyone loved it. After much support and encouragement from them, Sylvia and Zac launched Mak Cik Wong Chili Pan Mee at the end of September this year, focusing on home deliveries!

What’s In The Menu?

They only sell two Chili Pan Mee so far:

1) Chili Pan Mee (RM11.90)

Image Credit: Fun N Taste

2) Chili Pan Mee Special (RM13.90)

Image Credit: Fun N Taste

Each Chili Pan Mee comes with minced chicken, thick and springy noodles, poached egg, spinach, ikan bilis, and a scoop of their homemade chilli paste. Whereas for Chili Pan Mee Special it comes with add-on fish balls. 

Chili Pan Mee Special

The traditional minced pork is replaced with minced chicken meat. Moreover, Sylvia confirms that all of the ingredients and sauces used are sourced from halal suppliers. 

The chili was packed with heat. But customers can always choose to require for lesser chili, or just separate the chili so that they can adjust the amount of chili they want to put into the bowl.

Making The Best of Covid-19

Home delivery service has recently gained momentum due to the pandemic. Much to Sylvia and Zac’s advantage, Mak Cik Wong Chili Pan Mee solely does delivery services and operates out of Desa Pandan in KL. 

Since their launch a little over a month ago, they have already sold over 150 bowls of delicious Chili Pan Mee all over KL and Petaling Jaya. This exceeded the initial target of 100 bowls! 

Image Credit: Mak Cik Wong Chili Pan Mee

Sylvia shared “We’ve received a lot of positive reviews and there were also customers who gave us suggestions on how to improve further which we will definitely take note of.”

For those who loves spicy food, this is a definite must-try as it will surely give you a “good kick” in this bowl.

How To Order?
