I’ve been baking a lot lately but I have not attempted a cheesecake as yet.
To be honest I love my cheese as it is, the more vintage the better. Cheesecakes are a hit and miss; some too dense, some too light and most lacked any flavours or texture other than being plain sweet and sticky.

Uncle Tetsu opened just last week at 1U and since it was just a short walk away from my home, I didn’t mind giving it a go.
Besides, it’s been a while since I had a good plain cheesecake. And its reputation as one of the best cheesecakes around did intrigued me.

Uncle Tetsu Signature Cheesecake – RM19.90.

Cafe Hop : The Bites Cafe Lake Fields – good food, good vibes

There’s very little not to like at Bites.

For one, the WIFI actually works.

Ok, I’m joking. Or maybe not.

I’ve been to an average of 3-4 cafes per week over the past month and 90% of them has WIFI that DOESN’T work.
So when the WIFI at Bites actually works I must say the cafe earned brownie points from me instantly. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t order a drink and stay for 4 hours, but an hour or so of surfing while relaxing or writing in a cafe is important to me as a writer/social addict.
Simply put, if you offer WIFI, make sure it works. Else don’t offer it.

Good Thai food in Mid Valley – Tiffin’s by Chef Korn

I was at Tiffin’s just before Chef Korn decided to refresh his menu (earlier post –> https://rebeccasaw.com/what-to-eat-in-mid-valley-megamall-tiffins-by-chef-korn/). He promised that his new menu would be ready the week after.
Diligently keeping tabs on his updates, I was back at Tiffin’s the moment he was ready with his new creations. 🙂

Anytime is good time for good food, regardless of nationality. However Chef Korn’s village style Thai food combined with his flair, strict use of quality and possibly the most authentically Thai ingredients he could get his hands on has elevated Thai food as we know it to an entirely new level.

My housemate is from Teluk Intan and once she bought back a box of the Tiger brand tau sar pneah (tambun biscuits/mung bean biscuits) for me.

I didn’t exactly shriek in delight though I love these tau sar pneah in general. To me, tau sar pneah must be from Penang. I mean, we are known for our tau sar pneah right?
Besides, a whole box! If I don’t like it (which is the norm because I’m so picky about my food) what am I going to do with them??

GRAYNS rice cooker – rice suitable for diabetes

Being Asians, sacrificing rice is tough.
In fact I couldn’t believe that I managed to do it; not eating rice, pasta or bread for 3 months.
But I did. And I got really lean.

Now I would only eat rice/pasta/breads occasionally. And in very small dosages.

But you don’t have to be so drastic. Unless your goals is similar to mine (which borders on being a bit obsessive) a bit of rice /carbohydrates isn’t going to harm you in any way.
Just do try to cut down on the refined carbohydrates (pasta, white rice, breads made with white flour – go for rye, sourdough, etc instead).
Frankly most breads labeled “wheat” hardly contain any wholewheat and is 90% marketing BS.

In line with my new healthy produce business Fit Fab Kitchen, I have collaborated with GRAYNS Malaysia after I have tested the GRAYNS rice cooker for the past few months.
This rice cooker allows you to enjoy your rice (brown, white, basmati, etc) minus the carbs.
I posted about it on my social sites and there were many sceptics who argued about it’s efficiency and said it was pointless to eat rice then.
Well I had compiled all such arguments and FAQs here:

I posted earlier this week about my sneak preview dinner at the highly anticipated soon-to-be-open Restaurant Darren Chin and had many messages over my social sites about the menu.

On the night of our exclusive dinner, there was no menu except for what was to be served to us.
However, just to give you insight of what to expect from Chef Darren who is also the main genius behind the Dave’s Bistro in 1 U (earlier review here –> https://rebeccasaw.com/daves-bistro-grill-1-utama-pork-pizza-pasta/) here’s the menu and pictures of the dishes we enjoyed that evening.
