This is a fine dining restaurant kitchen during the peak dining hours.

“New order!” Chefs searing Wagyu beef, sizzling foie gras, adding final touches of truffle oil…There’re a bunch of demanding customers out there, eagerly waiting to savour these luxurious ingredients.

For many chefs, the luxurious ingredient is time. MSG loaded instant noodle, artificial flavoured and coloured crackers, greasy burgers and fries, you name it, they eat it. Fortunately, one of the blessings to live in Kuala Lumpur is that there are still hawkers stalls serving decent food at cheap prices even during late nights.

It’s almost midnight when I reach home. I don’t normally eat supper but hey, there’s Mom’s curry chicken in the fridge!! It’s so tempting that I almost wanted to eat it cold. So, for friends who is too embarrassed to cook for me, here is the truth: I miss home cooked food.
