Carol Tan’s Kitchen

I grew up in Kuala Lumpur and moved to Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 as an international student in the year 2000. At that time, I did not know how to cook at all - my idea of cooking was instant noodles and canned Campbell soup!  Now, I love to entertain my friends, relatives and colleagues with my home cooking - introducing Malaysian cuisine to friends from different cultures. 

I love eating authentic Malaysian food. As a student, eating out was expensive. I started asking my mom for recipes that have been handed down to her. Recipes were written in brown exercise books and cards with no proportions! All ingredients were “estimates”/“agak agak” and she uses her “eye” when cooking. 

Here, I share different recipes of food I love to eat ❤️ 🥘 I’ve written the recipes in the description of each video. You can modify them, by adding more salt or reducing sugar, or even replacing ingredients that are not easy to find where you are! 💕

Happy cooking!
