Ok I doubt my Mom would actually know what I was on about but I certainly do! Rasa Malaysia is an amazing food blog and her plethora of aunthentic Malaysian recipes are a lifesaver for many homesick Malaysian expats. And guess what? I just guest blogged on it!
Huh? Really?
Now I’d be the first to admit that I’m still very much a beginner when it comes to Malaysian cooking so when Bee invited me to guest post a beloved hometown Malaysian recipe on Rasa Malaysia, I admit I was shocked, scared (what to cook?!) but all in all, thrilled.
Seeing as I’m from Kuala Lumpur, there’s only one dish to do – KL Hokkien Mee. Think beautiful braised noodles in a thick, dark, pork-alicious sauce and you’ll realise why I crave this dish constantly.
For the recipe, check out my guest post on Rasa Malaysia.
Finally, a huge thanks to Bee for the opportunity!

This looks so rich and delicious. Craving well and truly understood. Well done on the guest post!
Thank you so much! I'd be craving this too now if it weren't for the weather!
Lovely dish and photos!
Thanks so much!
I think you've done really really well! Love the food porn in the form of chu yau chas. Yum!
Hehe there's nothing more sexy as crispy pork fat :P Thanks!
I'm salivating! KL is one of my favourite cities when it comes to the food. Wish I was there right now grazing my way through the fabulous restaurants and hawker markets. Those noodles look divine!
Ooh me too! I miss KL so much! And all the food and treats! :(
Congratulations Karen. I follow both your blogs and was pleasantly surprised to see your guest appearance on Rasa Malaysia. Fabulous photos.
Aww thanks so much Andrea! :D
Looks fantastic Karen! Not only can you make beautiful desserts – you can also make wonderful savoury dishes as well.
Haha not really. Just a handful :P But I'm def going to learn more non-dessert recipes this year! Thanks so much Trissa!

It was! And surprising! T'was a lot of fun :D

You're very welcome Bee and thank you so much for the opportunity! I'm so glad to hear it went down well with your readers. :)

Karen! That looks divine. Congratulations on the accolade. Im sure your mum is very proud. Fantastic! Love your work.
Thank you so much Kate! Your lovely comments always make my day :)
This looks like any authentic KL fried hokkien noodle and you even add in the crispy lard pieces (I usually go for this first). Delicious.
Oh definitely. You can't go past the chu yau cha! Thanks so much!
Congrats Karen! OMG I haven't had Hokkien Mee in YEARS! That looks so mouthwateringly good.
Hehe but now you can make it! Just save me some :P Thanks Shaz!

Thanks so much! Umm I could do with some too… but only if somebody made it for me :P
It looks like the real deal. Congras on the guest post!
