Frog meat is part of the daily diet out in Thailand’s country side. Grandma prefers to cook her frogs over a clay kiln using coal. These frogs are caught by Grandma out in the rice fields where they can be found underground.

I like frog meat on a stick… because as we all know anything on a stick taste ten times better ;-) . Unfortunately frog meat on a strick is more commonly sold in Cambodia. I plan on visiting there in a few more days. Hopefully I can find some at the local food merchant next to my aunt’s house. I’ll be sure to post pics because I know you all want to see what frog on a stick looks like.

Empty Honeycombs

Raw honey combs, before they get inserted into the hive.

A beehive is an enclosed structure in which some honey bee species of the genus live and raise their young. Natural beehives (typically referred to simply as "nests") are naturally occurring structures occupied by honey bee colonies, while domesticated honey bees live in man-made beehives, often in an apiary. These man-made structures are typically referred to as "beehives". Only species of the subgenus Apis live in hives, but only the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) are domesticated by humans.

The beehive’s internal structure is a densely packed matrix of hexagonal cells made of beeswax, called a honeycomb. The bees use the cells to store food (honey and pollen), and to house the "brood" (eggs, larvae, and pupae).

Clay Pot Chicken with Mushroom (冬菇滑鸡煲)

25 December, 2011 (08:33) | Chinese Food Culture | By: admin

Recently, my friend told me that I should be sharing more everyday recipes on Rasa Malaysia—meaning homey recipes that can be served on a constant basis. Truth be told, I cook and eat mostly everyday dishes at home. I mean, blog aside, most of the recipes I make are humble, everyday dishes that you will want to eat over and over again, without ever getting bored. Clay pot chicken with mushroom is one of them. I don’t know why it has taken me this long to share this wonderful Recipe; I guess the notion that it is not that visually appealing is the main reason.

Anyway, during winter months, I use my clay pot almost once a week. I have so many recipes that can be easily prepared in a clay pot, for examples: Taiwanese 3-Cup Chicken, Sesame Oil Chicken, Cantonese Beef Stew, Malaysian Yong Tow Foo, Curry Fish Head, Bak Kut Teh, pork belly in soy sauce, and braised pork ribs with daikon. Clay pot is without a doubt one of my favorite kitchen utensils. The thought of something stewing, braising, and simmering in this kitchenware is enough to stir up my appetite.

Clay pot chicken with mushroom is a very versatile dish. You can throw in extra ingredients to dress up this humble dish—carrot, daikon, onion, or even Cantonese lap cheong (sausage).  Either way, the taste is remarkable and the sauce is great with a bowl of soft, fluffy steamed rice.

Miniature Donuts! My favorite miniature food, I always make tons of them! I never eat them in real live though, it’s a mini addiction only ^^
Miniature food can drive one really mad :D
Once you’ve started making miniatures, you just can’t stop! You just think "miniatures! Miniatures!" lol! In my case it’s "I want to make new miniature food!" :D :D
