Hi! I’m Su-Lin and I love food! I love to cook and I love to eat. I was born in Kuala Lumpur and grew up in Malaysia, Singapore and Canada. Why Tamarind and Thyme? It’s a mixture of the flavours that I encountered in my childhood. Why the blog? Well, it’s as much for me as for you – I like keeping a record of the great places I eat and recipes I make and thought I’d share this too.
I live in London, one of the most expensive cities in the world and the “without going broke” part of my blog is my attempt to eat well without emptying my bank account. Sure there’ll be expensive dinners here and there but it’ll all be balanced by budget restaurant eating and lots of cooking at home. And I’ve got to save up for another love of mine, travelling!
I like: potato crisps, root beer floats, chai tow kueh, fried chicken, Sichuan food, going out for dinner, foie gras, crumbly shortbread, brunch, fry-ups, lemon tarts, kueh ubi bingka, rillettes, barbecue, Yorkshire pudding, buttery croissants, roti canai, pork pies, cavolo nero, spaghetti with tomato sauce, okonomiyaki, eating around the world, sambal belacan, weekend eating, fresh mozzarella, my farmers’ market, whipped cream, dark chocolate, char kway teow, hazelnut spread from Le Pain Quotidien, French fries, hot salsa, homemade chocolate chip cookies, …
I dislike: hot cinnamon candies, anise sweets, beetroot, food touching each other on my plate, boiled pork liver, warm milk.
More of my photos (both food and non-food) can be found on Flickr. I’m also on both Twitter and Instagram as sulineats.
My email address is tamarindandthyme AT gmail.com.

Congrats on your new blog and look forward to seeing what’s going on in London. I’ve never been, but maybe someday….
Mon, 11 Jun, 2007 at 21:27
Thanks very much, joanh!
Wed, 15 Aug, 2007 at 21:15
Hi, SU-Lin. Thanks for visiting my site. Just thought I’d do likewise.
I’ve only ever been to London once, when I was very young. It’s my understanding that there is a charge to even step outside your house nowadays? 😀
Thu, 16 Aug, 2007 at 18:39
Hi Graeme! Thanks for dropping by! About that charge…you know, it sure feels that way!
Mon, 20 Aug, 2007 at 16:00
oomgg I love food and I love eating.. Loved that… nice blog 🙂 I love food too may only thing I really love in this world lol
Mon, 20 Aug, 2007 at 20:48
Thanks, dinsan! Thanks for dropping by! Haha, I’m actually eating as I type this…looooove food!
Sun, 30 Sep, 2007 at 20:30
ahh–my dream: Living in London–! But yes, everything is so expensive there–and I love your posts here on the blog. I was brought here via tastespotting to your loco moco post.
Mon, 1 Oct, 2007 at 18:50
Thanks c(h)ristine! Yes, things are expensive…but cooking at home needn’t be (it just means that I don’t eat out as often as I’d like)!
Wed, 9 Jan, 2008 at 20:42
Hi Su-Lin
I found your site whilst looking for ideas of where to eat in Singapore (my boyfriend and I are there for 3 nights in April, on our way back from a diving holiday in Sulawesi).
We’re staying in Bras Basah Road and are thinking about trying the Maxwell Centre one evening, as we don’t want to travel too far for our dinner! Is it worth a visit, or can you recommend anywhere else in that area?
Thank you
Kirstie

Hi Kirstie! Thanks for dropping by. I’ve sent an email to you.

Hi! I stumbled on your site through Chowtimes.com. I’m so glad to have found it! London is my favourite city and I haven’t been there for 6 years! I’m definitely going to view your site more often. When I go back to London, I’ll use it as a tourist guide!

Hey Su-Lin, great blog, found you by accident whilst trawling for suckling pig on flickr. Keep it up!
Sat, 10 May, 2008 at 18:59
Hi Les! Thanks for dropping by – are you looking for a good place for suckling pig?
Sun, 11 May, 2008 at 07:42
Not really, just pics of them. To give you my two pennies worth, I recommend China China in Chinatown. Their pig is consistently out of this world. If the Si-fu (chef who chops and dishes out the meat) at the nearby Tai Kar Lok weren’t so moody, I’ll put them up there as well as with the former. Cheers.
Thu, 21 Aug, 2008 at 00:12
Thanks for dropping by, Su-Lin! I like your blog and you know what? I lived in London for six months back in 2000, so I remember how pricey it was. I’ll keep checking back to see what bargains you find, to keep in mind if I get to visit London again! 🙂
Fri, 22 Aug, 2008 at 23:03
Hi angi! Thanks for visiting! Oh, things are much pricier now than in 2000… 😦 But it’s still fun over here!
Mon, 1 Sep, 2008 at 00:49
Hi, Su-Lin,
thanks for your comment at my blog.
but boy, you have a serious food blog or what! it looks really cool, and i’m jealous for the fact that you actually enjoy cooking 🙂
Tue, 2 Sep, 2008 at 23:09
Hi aixxx! No way, sometimes I just don’t have the energy to cook and so we get takeaway or go out. You’re amazing that you cook almost everyday – and for lunch and dinner! And not easy stuff too; I notice that you rolled sushi today! Impressive stuff!
Mon, 29 Sep, 2008 at 21:30
Hi Su-Lin,
Thanks for dropping by our blog! I am literally floored that there are people in London who know about Mongolian food, I figured it would be a more difficult cuisine to track down. (I wonder if any shops in the city sell yak butter?)
Looks like we’ll be able to get lots of ideas for future meals from your blog, so I will definitely be back!
(Where did you live in Canada by the way? I’m from Toronto, where I lived until a year ago.)
Wed, 1 Oct, 2008 at 15:55
Hi Andrea!
Thanks for dropping my mine! Welcome to London! I lived in Vancouver up until 1998 so I really should be celebrating 10 years in London right about now!

Hi Loving Annie!
I think I’m going to have to add more things to that list but the problem is that doing so just makes me hungry!

Great blog here…
Just read your post about fish and chips.
I think, as well as fresh fish and good batter, a major part of it is how often they change the oil (a bit like a car I suppose).
That smell/taste of old, used cooking oil is one of the things that makes for mediocre fish suppers I think..
One of the best ones I had was at a fish restaurant in Brighton on the front (not a chippy) and when I asked the waiter about it he said precisely that about the oil…
Anyhow, consider youself linked to from my blog.
Erm… just realised I’ve written a fish and chips comment on your “About” page…
Sorry if that create’s assymetry .. 🙂
Wed, 16 Jun, 2010 at 18:33
Hi Rondell! Unfortunately, as I’ve never tasted a McGriddle (they don’t have them in the UK), I can’t help you!
Hi Rahul! Great blog you’ve got there – always on the lookout for the great deals in London.
Hi June! Thanks for dropping by!
Hi mike! I think I voted…
Hi Gourmet Gorman! hehe, it’s alright! I’ve got to agree with you about the oil argument; I dearly hope that most chippies change their oil daily…
Mon, 28 Jun, 2010 at 16:27
Hi Su-Lin
I’ve just found your blog and love it! And we have something in common . . . I live in London too and I was brought up in Kuala Lumpur, although I suspect many years before you! Oh, and we both hate beetroot. LOL.
Look forward reading more of your food adventures.

Hi Su-Lin,
I ate at a Sichuan restaurant recently near Shepherd’s Bush called Tianfu Buyi. Maybe you’ve been to it already, here’s a link anyway in case you haven’t – http://tianfubuyi.foodkingdom.com/SupplierWebSite/Template/Default.aspx
The food seems ok, although I’m not a very good food critic and my tongue couldn’t feel much soon after I started eating anyway.

We are currently in the initial stages of production for BBC’s ‘The Great British Bake-Off’ series 2 and would really appreciate your help on the series. We were wondering if you might like to apply for the next series, from your blog it looks like you’re an enthusiastic foodie. It would also be great if we could advertise on your blog/ tweet page inviting any other keen amateur bakers to get in touch with us.
Many thanks for your time and your help.

Mmm, Hi Su-Lin!
I’m a Malaysian living in York and always in the search of food and good cooking – it’s a Malaysian thing isn’t it (though much too lazy to photog and blog about what I eat) and my friend pointed me your way.
Sneaked quite a few minutes’ read here and there at work today – Great resource for when I’m in London for a decent meal!

Dear Su-Lin
My name is Matt. Below is some info on my BBQ down in Clapham.
We’d love you to come along sometime. We are doing it every weekend. In essence, I supply lots of top restaurants with Cornish fish and meat. These include Royal Hospital Road, The Ledbury, Chez Bruce and a far few more.
What I am trying do in Clapham is, by working with talented young chefs, give everyone the chance to eat Michelin standard produce at affordable prices. If you can come down one weekend I can even get something special in for you. We are doing a roaring trade in pre-ordered cote de boeuf and native lobsters. It will be out treat. If its native to Cornwall we can cook it for you.
Anyhow, it would be great to meet you.
Cheers
Matthew Chatfield
http://www.cornishgrill.co.uk
@cornishgrill
Cornish man Matt Chatfield is the owner of Cornwall in your Kitchen. His family have farmed the same land for over 500 year.
One day Matt wants to take over the family farm and make it famous for its Red Ruby beef.
His first step is to create a market for the beef. This is why he has created Cornwall in your Kitchen.
Matt works very closely with Cornwall’s premier butcher and fishmonger, Philip Warren and Son and Fish for Thought respectively.
He has only been going a year. On a daily basis he delivers to restaurants London restaurants with a total of 25 Michelin stars.
During his first year Matt has met some very talented young chefs. One of them is Oliver Marlowe, the Senior Sous Chef at the Michelin starred Glasshouse in Kew. As Matt says:
“I have come up with a few crazy idea’s and Olly surprisingly thinks one or two are OK. Its great when you meet someone on a similar idea”.
Matt and Olly’s idea is The Cornish Grill. Olly says:
“Matt delivers possibly the best meat and fish in London. We want everyone to have the chance to eat this amazing produce and have it cooked by Michelin standard chefs. We believe a good way of doing this is. Good old BBQ. We came up with concept of the Cornish Grill. We stand for Michelin standard food at BBQ prices. Matt likes the phrase ‘affordable decadence’.

Hi Su-Lin,
I just read about your blog in the evening standard tonight . I admit I freaked out that I might have been writing a food blog subconsciously when I saw your name and age (well I was 33 until yesterday). I had to write and say Hi given the parallels – we share many of the same food likes and dislikes too. I’ll def be following your blog from now on. Best of luck. Su-Lin ps surely ikan bakar needs to be added to your likes?

Impressed me a lot, like your travel report.
