Hi Ami, like your blog. I too like fast & healthy vegan cooking especially chinese style & salads. I am going to try your noodle soup with tofu. Please tell me which store to purchase the vegetable cube in Kuala Lumpur. Thanks.
ReplyDeletehi Vasanthi, I'm glad you like the recipes here. Well i get my vegetable soup cubes from Sri Lanka. You may get it from singapore. I'm sick and tired of looking for vegetable soup cubes here in kl now given up and getting it from my home country. but Oxo brand has vegetable soup cube, try them at cold storage or village grocer. They also sell vegetable broth cartons.
