Meen Kari with Tawa Paratha

2007-08-06T07:46:24Z

Laksa Lemak

2007-08-16T07:39:29Z

This noodle-based soup gets a slight sweetness from coconut milk, but that flavor is much more subdued than similar Thai dishes. It's spicy, but not actually hot -- it's a very gentle heat. The main taste is the amazing array of flavors that come...

2008-05-11T23:59:30Z

...or fasolakia me arni, if you're Greek :) I love almost every type of cuisine but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Lebanese. It's probably a bit of a cop out, really, because it's just so similar to Greek food. That's probably ...
