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.

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 »

Earlier this month, Canon Marketing (Malaysia) launched its second Canon PhotoMarathon at the Berjaya Times Square. Buzz about this event has been happening weeks prior to the event and word on the street was that one of the theme of the competition was about food. So, we despatched our news team to go for a bit of 'recce'... Over one thousand hopeful participants entered the photomarathon.


As typical as Malaysians can be, the very first theme announced was "Indulge Metropolitan" in which the Canon people asked all the participants to interpret into photography.The other two themes were Mess in Rules and Goes Green.
