Today is pancake day at our household! So we decided to make the Dutch Baby version for breakfast. We’ve been seeing it a lot on Instagram lately, that we just had to try out the recipe. The version that we’re sharing is the version we adjusted based on our preferences.
What is Dutch Baby Pancake?
When we first saw the recipe, we have to admit that we thought of it as a non-savoury version of the Yorkshire Pudding. Made with eggs, flour, milk and sugar, Dutch Baby Pancakes are baked in a hot cast iron pan.
Ours are the mini version. We couldn’t fit our pan in the oven, so we used a smaller cast iron baking dish to bake our pancakes. We also replaced the sugar with molasses and added vanilla extract and cinnamon powder. The pancakes were served hot with sliced bananas and honey on top.
We recently shared on our TikTok account one of the home-style chilli oil recipes our family back in China makes. What we didn’t expect was for the video to receive more than 36.1k views and counting!
Wait, don’t you sell chilli oil? Why do you share how to make chilli oil on your TikTok account?
Here’s the thing. Just because we sell chilli oil doesn’t mean we can’t share how to make a simple version of it. Besides, our family has many different ways to make chilli oil and we’re just sharing one of it.
Right. So what’s with this ultimate halal chilli oil list then?
We were recently told that we should make products that appeal to everyone. But the truth is we can’t satisfy everyone as each person has his and her own preferences. For example, there are those who prefer a far more spicier version. There are also those who prefer a sweeter version.
Fact is, just because we make and sell chilli oil, doesn’t mean everyone would like our version of it.
So this list here?
It’s just us giving potential chilli oil buyers the option to make a choice. To make it easier for them to reach out to other chilli oil sellers and find the chilli oil version they like the most.
Wouldn’t this mean that you’ll be directing potential customers to other sellers?
Yes, because we strongly believe that the market is huge enough to cater to every chilli oil seller.
Now that we’ve got that off our chest, let’s get on with the list.

So we woke up one day and just felt like having ginger in a dessert form. That’s when we decided to make Ginger Milk Pudding. A super simple recipe that tastes absolutely amazing!
What Is Ginger Milk Pudding?
It’s a Chinese hot dessert made with ginger, milk and sugar. We absolutely love the ginger and milk combination, however if you prefer it to be sweeter, you can sprinkle sugar or honey on top. The texture is smooth and silky, like it could slip effortlessly down your throat.
Pour the milk into the bowl with ginger juice & cover for 10 mins
Serve hot.
The fun bit about making this recipe is doing the spoon test. To check whether the pudding has set well, place a spoon on top. The spoon shouldn’t sink and it should just sit nicely on top. For extra fun, try to see how many spoons you can stack on top of the pudding before it starts to give way.
We hope you’ll have fun trying this recipe out! Oh, and do follow our TikTok account.
It’s that time of the year again! All the malls are decked with Chinese New Year decorations and goodies, and although we don’t celebrate the festival, we have family and friends that do celebrate it. We’re thinking of getting gifts for them, so we’ve been looking at things on Shopee Malaysia.
Here are the ones that caught our eyes. We broke it into sections, making it easier for you to browse through.
Special Kuih Kapit, Pineapple Roll, Honeycomb, Peanut Cookie, and Salted Cashew Nut are just some of the things they have in their store. Like these happen to be our favourite biscuits and snacks too! We don’t know about you lot, but besides buying for friends and family we’d probably get a couple for our own consumption too.
Here’s another store that sells a selection of halal traditional Chinese New Year cookies. We love Almond Cookies, Peanut Cookies, Sugee Cashew Cookies, & Kuih Bangkit! Gah, by the looks of it we might get a bottle or two from them too!
We have a bit of a confession here—we have a thing for food that come in tins. There’s just a nostalgia feeling to it. When we were kids, we often get sweets, biscuits, and cookies in tins, and we loved how beautiful the tins looked. Until now, we still have some of those tins at home. (filled with sewing materials, etc.)
Their selection include Almond Cookies, Cashew Nut Cookies, Coconut Crispy Roll, Green Pea Cookies, Carnival Pineapple, Pineapple Jam Filled Cookies (Pandan), Salted Egg Yolk Cookies, Walnut Cookies, and Cranberry Butter Cookies.
Wanna go nuts over nuts? We love to snack on nuts, regardless of the time of the year. Our top favourite? Roasted and lightly salted cashews! We’ve bought food items from Mahnaz Food before and felt satisfied with it. It’s just that we never bought it online. The reviews are great though.
How about getting something healthy for this Chinese New Year? Some of the dried vegetable snack chips & crisps they have in their store include Shiitake Mushroom, Okra, Purple Potato, Red Radish, Yam, Garlic Lotus Seed, Crunchy Garlic, and Tempura Eggplant.
We grew up eating Dried Shrimp Curry Puffs and have always thought these are just one of the best snacks ever made! Melodramatic, much? Maybe. But this is one of the things you’ve got to try if you’ve never tried it. Finding good ones are hard these days, and we really hope these would turn out good.
Oh hey, it’s another seller on Shopee Malaysia selling halal bakkwa! We don’t think we’ve included them in The Ultimate Halal Bakkwa List blog post. Could probably give this a try. They have Original, Spicy & Black Pepper bakkwa flavours, plus the feedback looks good.
Ikea has done it again! They came up with their own version of halal bakkwa! We read about it like a couple of years ago, yet we never got the chance to try it. Perhaps this is a sign. Gotta buy ’em all!
So there we have our list of halal Chinese New Year biscuits, snacks, and food you can buy on Shopee Malaysia! We still haven’t decided what to buy. Let us know if you have any recommendations for us.
In our previous blog post, we mentioned we’d be sharing recipes from our Kaijia Muslim Food TikTok account. Here’s the first recipe: Pan-Fried Thai Basil Flower Rolls.
For a more detailed step-by-step guide, please refer to the original post by the Red House Spice.
It’s a type of Chinese steamed buns. In our household, we like to have it for breakfast and we eat it on its own or with tea. Sometimes, we’ll have it with soup or vegetable dishes. A bit of a disclaimer, usually we use spices for the filling or a scallions-spice mixture. Since we have quite a lot of Thai basil in the garden, we decided to make a Pan-Fried Thai basil Flower Rolls version.
Ingredients For The Dough
250g all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon yeast
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
130ml warm water
Ingredients For The Filling
2 tablespoon finely chopped Thai basil
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon cooking oil
Method
Mix flour, yeast, baking powder and sugar in a bowl.
Add water and knead the mixture into a dough.
Cover the dough and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
For the filling, put Thai basil, Chinese five-spice powder and salt in a bowl. Heat up the oil and pour the oil over the mixture. Mix well.
Shape the dough into flower rolls, cover and leave it to rest for 30 minutes.
Once the rolls have rested, add oil to a frying pan over high heat.
Carefully place the rolls into the pan and when the bottoms turn brown, pour in 200ml water.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the rolls cook until the water has completely evaporated.
Have fun trying this recipe out! Oh, and do follow our TikTok account.
Kaijia Muslim Food has been around for like 4 years, but we only got serious like last year. For our 5th year, we have humble plans to scaleup the business.
The Business
Our Eatery: 2022 is the year we expect to reopen our eatery at UTM, Skudai. BUT! Yes, there isa big BUT there. We intend to revamp our eatery. The plans are still in the drawing board as we type this out. Just stay tuned for updates on our website and social pages.
For 2022, we decided to tone down a bit and come up with 5 new products, insha’Allah. We already have the 5 products and all of those products are still undergoing R&D, We hope to launch 3 products in the first quarter of 2022, while the other 2 products would be launched by the third quarter.
Our Social Pages: We decided to be more focused on what type of content goes on our social pages. Here’s the breakdown
Facebook – mainly for sharing blog posts & Instagram feeds
Our Content: Regular content like the monthly link-roundups, new Chinese Muslim restaurants and food businesses, and our personal reviews will still be around. However, we’ll be addingsponsored content and our TikTok channel recipe content.
Sponsored Content: What is this about? We’ve been getting feedback from people asking us whether they could advertise or get featured on our website. The quick answer is YES. But obviously, there are areas we need to discuss further.
Like are you looking at us to write a blog post on your restaurant? Do you want us to review your product? Are you looking for free advertising? How much do we charge? What are our working terms?
To make things easier, just contact us for more details. We will answer all your questions, explain to you about our terms and come up with an arrangement that benefits both of us. And we promise we won’t bite (unless you send us your food product, which we’d happily chomp down)
TikTok Recipe Content: So if you’ve been following our TikTok account and are eager to get the recipes, you will soon be able to get it on our website. We’ll be including little anecdotes, stories, and cooking tips too.
What’s with the TikTok recipe content?
Besides running a Chinese Muslim food business, we’re just a couple of home cooks with a passion to share the little knowledge we have cooking our favourite meals. Just because we run a business, doesn’t mean we must always share about our business, do we? Sometimes, it’s nice to share our passion and knowledge with others.
That’s about it really. Do you have any big plans for 2022? Let us know in the comments section.
Hello Chinese Muslim food lovers! We’re hours away from ushering in the new year and we just realised we haven’t done this month’s link-roundup! Here we go!
Our first news of the day comes all the way from the US! So in the article, they featured Dolan Uyghur – a place that specialises in Uyghur cuisine. Now if you’re unfamiliar with Uyghur cuisine, well to sum it up it’s food that has Middle Eastern and Chinese influence.
To tell you the truth, you can get Uyghur cuisine in Malaysia too. The easiest way is to ask a Chinese Muslim restaurant specialising in Chinese Muslim food from China whether they have any Uyghur cuisine on their menu. Must try dishes include Dapanji – often translated as “Big Plate Chicken”.
About a few years ago, a friend of ours told us that Taiwan was gearing towards bringing more Muslim tourists to Taiwan. We even received pamphlets of where to find halal food in Taiwan as well as the Muslim-friendly places.
If you ask us, we think it’s a good move because when we went to Taiwan, it wasn’t as easy for us to find halal food and prayer spots. In fact, we survived mainly by eating vegetarian food and fruits. Trust us, when you’re travelling the last thing you want to do is to just eat vegetables and fruits.
And we end the link-roundup with news from our neighbouring country – Singapore! Bread Garden is one of the bakeries we go to whenever we’re in the Lion City, so it’s nice to know they came up with halal Chinese New Year goodies for this years’ Chinese New Year celebrations.
Too bad we can’t go to Singapore to taste any of their goodies. The borders are still closed and we’re not sure whether travelling would be allowed again prior to Chinese New Year. Does anybody know how we can get our hands on their Premium Pineapple Tarts, Kueh Bangkit, and Almond Cookies? Like those are the stuff we grew up with and biting into it would just bring us back to our childhood.
There you have it! This month’s link-roundup! Let us know if you come across any cool links!
So yeah, we bought 2 packets of halal Chinese sausages from them. [Yes, this is not a sponsored post. We were not paid to write this.Anybody wanna sponsor us?] Each packet has 2 pieces ofthe sausages and costs RM10.68 at the time of writing. The size of the sausages are slightly smaller than regular sausages.
Is the price expensive or cheap?
Like we’ve never bought it before so we don’t know what’s the right price for it. Taste-wise, it was quite unique to us. Has that strong charred, yet sweet taste. Quite similar to sweet bak kwa.
