There’s a lot of models that are out of production or not sold in Malaysia because it’s not very popular. In places like PJ Old Town or Petaling Street I often see the giants that grace cendol vans, really not enough counter space in my poky apartment plus you need to make blocks of ice. I would settle for a mini version of that but it’s just not sold. 2011-10-05T07:35:36+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/old-chinese-cookie-gadgets/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/old-chinese-cookie-gadgets/#When:14:07:07Z I love my chinese kuehs and cookies. Pineapple tarts, love letters and bahulus fresh from the mold. Of course I just have to go to the nearest store if I have a hankering for them. Gone are the days where we actually know the effort that goes into making these treats, and maybe now they are even being mass-produced with machines. For this very reason we picked up a few of the traditional gadgets used to make treats such as love letters or kueh kapit, bahulu and mooncakes. With gadgets…More » Product Review 2011-02-07T14:07:07+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/the-last-polka-ice-cream/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/the-last-polka-ice-cream/#When:11:49:42Z The one major gripe I have about good ice cream here in Malaysia is that you either have to fork out a lot of dosh on a small imported tub of Ben and Jerry’s or you settle for the local made varieties that aren’t unique in flavour and often don’t taste much like ice cream. This is where The Last Polka fills in the gap. They create homemade ice cream right here in KL made with 100% natural ingredients. What makes it even better is that they combine the creaminess of French-style…More » Product Review 2010-07-07T11:49:42+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/bialetti-moka-coffee-pot/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/bialetti-moka-coffee-pot/#When:17:16:47Z Coffee drinks can be a bit expensive to have at cafés if you are a regular drinker. You may want to invest in a Moka Pot and experiment at making some yourselves at home. Let me introduce you to the Bialetti Moka Pot, a stovetop coffee maker that you can get for around RM168++ for a 3 cup version. No need to spend thousands for an expresso maker.

This new product will have its noodles made from Atta Wheat Flour (the stuff they make chapati from) instead of the normal refined flour versions. Also, this has no MSG, high fibre and protein content and promises to be a healthier choice from the normal product line. Families in a hurry and need the occasional quick noodle fix can now have less worries about nutritional values that is associated with instant noodles. Good News!

It's rubbery and fold-able hence does not take much space in your kitchen at all. The front picture of the box had a hand taking out freshly baked chocolate chip muffins. Lo and behold, the recipe is on the back of the box. As far as recipes go, this one is pretty easy.…More » Product Review 2010-02-03T16:01:23+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/the-simpsons-organic-pasta/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/the-simpsons-organic-pasta/#When:09:23:08Z Well I guess Bart's well known caption 'Eat My Shorts' now have a completely new meaning. Whilst we were at the Cold Storage in Solaris, we found this cute little 500g packet labelled The Simpsons Organic Pasta. The funny thing is that it has pasta shapes of the main characters of the Simpsons. Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie. The best thing is that you can eat them.

Douse them with syrup and you’ve got yourself a delicious treat. This is usually a treat I buy at waffle stands instead of making at home as I don’t have a waffle maker, so I was pretty excited to play around with the Cuisinart waffle iron. The perfect breakfast dish that is sure to…More » Product Review 2009-12-16T11:36:59+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/cuisinart-supreme-commercial-quality-ice-cream-maker/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/cuisinart-supreme-commercial-quality-ice-cream-maker/#When:13:18:06Z When I got the chance to try out Cuisinart’s Supreme Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker I jumped at it! Not only does it churn the ice cream but it freezes it as well so that it’s ready to eat after an hour in the machine. Looks really spacey and cool I attempted a vanilla frozen yogurt, a dragonfruit lychee sorbet, and a chocolate ice cream…More » Product Review 2009-11-10T13:18:06+08:00 http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/kitchen-aid-artisan-toasters/ http://www.friedchillies.com/index.php/gastrostuff/detail/kitchen-aid-artisan-toasters/#When:14:37:24Z Here are some pictures of the new Kitchen Aid Artisan Toaster. Was at Robinson's at Gardens Parkson's in Subang today and saw these sitting beautifully on the shelves whispering "buy me now lah". If you have one, I bet that you are the envy of your friends. One day perhaps, these toasters will be a member of the appliance (but well used) in our office studio kitchen. But until then, here are some details about these beautiful models...
