Our Staff Meal Series goes to Penang, where @yauchin98 and the team behind @genpenang have whipped up a feast of the island’s most famed street food dishes, from Char Kuey Teow that rivals some of Penang’s street stalls to Assam Laksa with grouper and Fruit Rojak. One thing is for sure, the team at gēn 根, @communaltablegen, and @winenotpg definitely take their family meal very seriously.

From the early hours of the morning, Cat Liew can be seen frying up crispy sticks of youtiao and ham chim peng at Penang’s @cakoi_166. The art of making the crispy dough fritters runs in her blood - her whole family, from her dad to her brothers, also run youtiao stalls. While Cakoi 166 may not look like your typical youtiao stall with its retro interior stacked with trinkets and books, Liew’s youtiao, ma jiao, and ham chim peng (filled with the likes of red bean, sticky rice, cinnamon, and coconut gula Melaka) speak for itself.

The interesting thing is that I am lactose intolerant 🐮 But that aside, @fromagekl is a treasure trove for those who are as obsessed with cheese as I am 🧀👑

In this episode of our #StaffMealSeries, we coat @skillet_kl where @erickit0426 and his team have whipped up chicken lasagna, roast chicken, Caesar salad, sautéed vegetables, and for a special sweet treat, an espresso burnt cheesecake. “In fine dining restaurants, guests always see precision and refinement, but staff meal is the opposite, a chance for the team to cook something comforting and that brings everyone together,” he says.

What staff meal would you like to see next? 👀

Happy Mother’s Dayyyyy!!!! 🌷🌻🌼 💕

Art is food and food is art 🙈 Jakarta is such a creative city and it was my first time at @artjakarta - this edition was Art Jakarta Gardens at @plataran.senayan 🌷🌼🌳

We finally did it 😂 But us being us we also flavoured the butter with furikake and honey Gorgonzola!!! Truly the product of our blood, sweat (a lot), and tears 🧈🏃‍♀️

In this episode of our staff meal series, we visit @esarestaurant, where @aditya_muskita has prepared Bubur Ayam, a dish close to his heart. Aditya’s mum used to run a bubur stall in a wet market, and he recalls days from his childhood helping his mum in the kitchen. His favourite way to eat the porridge is actually with a ladle of spicy tomyum broth.

Staff meal isn’t something that is only saved for special occasions at Esa; in fact, the team has a dedicated staff meal account, @notsoseriousstaffmeal! Follow along for their staff meals (which are seriously delicious!)

We spent the afternoon in the @fragments.id kitchen with @chefryankim and @michhhht who taught us to make two viral Korean desserts: the Dujjonku (which you might know as the Dubai chewy cookie) and the Butter Tteok, which will be available at Fragments soon! 🧈🍪

When we learn to read instructions y’all better watch out 😤🧈

Did you know White Rabbit 🐇 is from Shanghai? I used to eat this all the time as a kid and thought it was Malaysian 😂 My favourite part was always the edible glutinous rice paper (but I recently found out it’s just to protect the candy from sticking to the wrapper).

ANYWAYS, there are also >10 different flavours 😮 I managed to get my hands on this assorted box at the airport so here’s what I thought!!!!
