Classic Pies @ Food Studio with Electrolux

Events

It was a lovely Saturday morning when we all gathered at The Food Studio in Mont Kiara to take part in a class run by Chef Paul together with Electrolux. The program featuring classic pies such as Sheppard’s pie, creamy chicken and leek pie, and caramelised apple pie was highly anticipated by everyone who attended. We had a few fans and bloggers join us: Marcky, Rebecca Saw, Pureglutton, and Memoirs of a Chocoholic.

Upon arriving we enjoyed some refreshments while we glanced over our recipes for the day. The concept at Food Studio is to have a cosy kitchen space that resembles a home kitchen, not an intimidating commercial space. This is to help people realise that cooking is not difficult and they can recreate these same dishes in their own home. The studio is fully equipped with sleek Electrolux appliances. Ingredients are prepped and individual stations are set…  Continue reading »

Launch of the Love Your Street Food Campaign

Events

Last night at Raju’s (2009 Annual Foodsters' Award Best Roti Canai Winner) we kicked off the launch of our 2010 AFA. The theme this year is Love Your Street Food and this campaign is to ensure that we all take pride in the delicious street food our country has to offer!

Fans and friends gobbled down flakey roti canai with flooding rivers of curry and crisp fried chicken, all washed down with a frothy teh tarik. In between bites everyone helped us whittle down our impossibly long nomination list to help us narrow each category down to three makan spots. As with all FC events everyone left stuffed with satiated grins on their faces.

Our Palm Oil Shorties at Aliyaa rocked! And of course, as with any Friedchillies event, food was aplenty! We even had to pack the leftovers for guests to take home with them. The theme ‘Steaks, Sausages, Music, Food and Film’ best describes the tone of the event.

Many guests showed up for our shorties

The Palm Oil Shorties was a way to create more awareness on the issues surrounding Palm Oil. We had students and professionals send in their submissions for our competition and on Saturday we played the four that were shortlisted. For the student category we had ‘My Palm Oil Estate’ by Steven Yap and “Let The Truth Be Told’ by Jared Lee. In the professional category we had ‘A Special…  Continue reading »

Instant noodle lovers get a load of this!

image

This week the 7th World Instant Noodle Summit took place at the KL Convention Centre. The leaders of the World Instant Noodle Association (WINA) met to discuss the future of instant noodles as a dietary staple.

Did you know that in 2009 more than 92billion servings of instant noodles were consumed? It is these numbers that are getting the instant noodle giants to look at what they can improve in terms of health, taste, convenience, hygiene, and price.

In general, instant noodles don’t rank very high in terms of being a health food, which is why more efforts are being made to change this. Maggi has just launched their new Atta Wheat Flour…  Continue reading »

Finally after all those long weeks of planning and juggling 15 balls in the air, the circus known as The Annual Foodsters' Awards came to town. Well it came to Pannaz in a cosy little corner of Damansara Perdana but in our world of FriedChillies it's a big deal indeed, worthy of a Big Top, fanfare and dancing elephants on tightropes. It's our first awards of many to come to mainly celebrate the very best of Malaysian street food and mom and pop eateries. Before we get down to the nitty gritty of the night, we like to give a shout out to our generous sponsors, Maggi for all the lovely hampers and goodie bag stuff and HTC for their sleek sexy phones we used to GPS the winners. Also to Chef Anas of Pannaz who shifted out 80 main courses promptly and throwing in the canapes for free. A FriedChillies salute to all of you.

On the night all the guests got one of these little…  Continue reading »
