I live in Malaysia now. But have spent 13 years in the US. Back then I hated to cook, but i missed Malaysian food so much I forced myself to learn.
Now that I live in Malaysia again, I miss all the food I had in the States and had to start cooking again. And I found I am actually enjoying it. Must be age.
One day I might be brave enough to post my own recipe, right now I am having way too much fun trying out all the recipes from Zaar!!
