Yuzu Butter Cake from Bisou, Bangsar Village

Dear Fellow Cake Lovers,

GFers know just how difficult it is to find good GF cakes and pastries. For my last birthday, my aunt found *the most delicious* Yuzu butter cake at Bisou in Bangsar Village. The texture and consistency was perfect – indistinguishable from any other flour-based cake! The taste: heavenly. I may (just may) have had like quarter the cake by myself!

Simply so amazing!

Perfect texture, consistency, and TASTE!

They also have super moist GF cookies as well. Check them out at: http://www.bisou.com.my/

Peace,

Part 2: Gluten-free in Hyderabad, India

Hello Friends!

Even though I’ve been in Hyderabad about 2.5 months now, I still don’t know the good gluten-free places to eat! I’ve found a couple, which I will post in the days to come. However, for now, I was lucky enough to be invited to a home-cooked meal, where I learned a lot about what goes into the local food!

Home-cooked Indian spread - all gluten-free! Lots of curries and rice dishes.

Our host laid out a sumptuous, traditionally-prepared meal. A lot of the food is rice-based (e.g. rice with jeera, rice with corn, pulao) and tomato-and-chili-paste-based (e.g. prawn curry, chicken curry, stuffed potato curry).

Palak paneer - almost always reliably gluten-free! And almost always reliably delicious!

To me, the palak paneer has been an old steady favourite. I have not encountered a time when it was made with gluten. The only danger, of course, is cross-contamination, but usually the risk is minimal.

This stuffed potato curry was amazing! It’s essentially halved potatoes that have been hollowed out and stuffed with curd and paneer (and some spinach and seasoning).

All in all, a meal worth remembering!

Peace,
