It is easy to “Eat Well, Live Well”.

You may be wondering why we have a food blog in a website meant for students and other young executives. Actually, from personal experience, I feel that it is quite necessary for overseas students to acquire good cooking skills and good eating habits.

I was an overseas student once, a long time ago, leaving the comfort of home at the age of 17 to London – half the world away from Penang, Malaysia, and at a time before mobile phones and the Internet.

I had to quickly learn to cook, drawing from memories of watching how my mother and aunts made those wonderful meals I was missing. Of course, there was no Google and I just had to experiment.

Therefore, I am presenting here a series of dishes I personally like and which I know to be fairly fail-safe. Just follow the steps and you should be able to get a reasonably decent bite from the first go. The dishes I will be presenting will include Chinese (Hokkien, Cantonese, Szechuan), Indian, Western and African.

Cook your own food and you will not only be saving heaps but you will maintain a very healthy life.

Happy cooking. Really, it is fun and you will be popular with and an envy of your friends!
