Jen's Underground

Famous for Mushroom Tartlets, Pineapple Tartlets, Makmur, Underground Dining, Seasonal Specialties, Ola and welcome! Our food is “West-based”.

Jen’s Underground Supper Club is a movement that caters to gourmands, serious foodies, chefs, executives, and high profile events and parties. By “West-based” I mean Swiss, French, Italian, Spanish, Moroccan, German, Austrian and American-influenced or -inspired food tweaked for the Malaysian palate. My food is cooked, baked, roasted, poached and seared with high quality ingredients, from fresh he

rbs to alkaline water, and prepared in a hygienic environment. I love cooking with wines, liqueurs and spirits. For drinking water, I am proud to only serve Kangen Water. Please drop an email if you have any questions regarding our ingredients. The club is private. You can expect a warmly lit environment that is homely and cosy, and with great music; perfect for quiet conversation – this is why we keep our numbers small. My family includes three cats that you may see lounging around the living room at times. You are advised not to approach them as they are the heads of the house and prefer to be left alone. Should you approach them do so at your own risk. At Jen’s, I aim to please your palette, your tummy, your heart and your occasion. Call 03 7733 7732 to be invited.

I had some major cravings for Pizza last week so I planned for it on Saturday. Easy peasy I told myself.

All in all, it took me half a day! 😅😅😅 I had to make the pizza dough, I had to make the pizza sauce and I had to make the white sauce to go with it. To make it worse, I lost my touch and it took me a while to get back in my flow. EVENTUALLY - it was worth it. Hahahaha

Next round will be much easier. The extra sauces go into the freezer, for now.

Served with Chilli Padi. So YUM!

Hey Everyone,

Do you want to cook the best Rendang in the world? Well, I’m happy to announce that I will be hosting a Beef Rendang Masterclass”. This dish is close to my heart because it was something that no one wanted to teach me and I really had to learn it on my own. It turned out to be worthwhile at the end as it was featured on “Taste Off” on Discovery Channel and on TripAdvisor; it is rated excellent as one of my best tourist classes.

Learning how to cook Rendang was the turning point for me of all my culinary adventures. It opened my pallet, heighten my senses and I am more informed and confident in developing other spicy dishes.

In my Rendang Master Class

You will learn the best kept secrets along with the fundamentals of cooking with spices.You will master how to make the best Rendang components such as kerisik, chilli boh, root paste and spice rub, all of which you can use for cooking other amazing dishes. You will learn the benefits of learning each Rendang component from “scratch’ that will guarantee to bring your cooking skills to the next level and inspire you to go beyond. You will learn step by step how easy it is to create your Rendang dish to perfection and remain confident with the best outcome each time. You will naturally build your confidence and will never be intimidated ever again by any other challenging dish. What’s more? You will be the owner of the best rendang recipe in the world.

This is a master class, it is concise and clear. This means you will internalise the techniques you will learn. You will understand it, move it and develop the dish in the right way. You will learn the intuitive levels of cooking to a point where you don’t have to think anymore. When you reach this level of cooking, the feeling you will have is magic, mastery, power and love in the kitchen!

Why you should take this class? This time round I’m charging a very reasonable price compared to my usual price which is usually more than double. I have someone from overseas that I will be teaching so I’m pitching this special price out for more participants.

Happening on 14th June 2025! Take your cooking to a mastery level.
❤️ ✌️Jen

“Rien ne remplace le beurre”
“Nothing replaces butter”

French butter has more fat than most butters and that’s why it has a full, rich, noticeably tangy flavour; good plasticity, which means it holds up during the numerous rolling and folding needed to make laminate doughs, like puff pastry. So it not only melts very slowly in your mouth but also makes richer and fuller desserts.

The butter is churned and its final butterfat content is determined. Butterfat is tremendously important for taste, texture and workability. Whatever isn’t butterfat is mostly water, and water is not what will make your crust taste luscious. Butter must have at least 82% butterfat content.

Last call for my utterly delicious Golden Buttercream Cake. Last pick up is at 1pm Sunday. Thank you to all that ordered, your support is precious to me! ♥️♥️♥️

Stop your excuses!

Only “when” we understand the “why”, we become empowered to make health a journey. The benefits are far reaching. It’s not just the gym or aesthetic appeal that you will want to improve especially like when we were younger.

So many facets of life improve because fitness improves, like mental health is directly related to people’s physical health. If you look better and feel better about yourself, your mental health improves too. Like every element of life is improved with improved levels of fitness and health.

Every thing can be taken away from you, your money, your houses, even your relationships. All of these including your relationships can be replaced. BUT, if your health is taken away, you’re done! Health is everything.

Start today! ♥️♥️♥️

Babs - Aiyah…shall I have 1 more? I think can la.
Me - Better quickly do…you have 3 minutes to 8 o’clock! Hahaha

MAMAMIA!

Babs and I were watching Nonnas a few days ago on Netflix and watching his Nonna cook, gave me an irresistible itch I simply couldn’t resist.

And as if LIFE felt my itch for that BOLOGNAISE, Babs received a promo text from Village Grocer that their Aussie Minced Beef is on offer. Apa lagi, it was a steal and I said “let’s go for it!” (Thank you God ♥️)

This BOLOGNAISE was the very reason for that trip to Tuscany, my love affair with Italian food. Happily I can now say, if you can’t make it to Tuscany, no worries, Tuscany is in me and in my home! 😁

And then….as if it wasn’t enough joy on our plates to lift our hearts up, my son texted me last night.

Son - Y’all have to watch Nonna
Me - The Italian Grandmas?
Son - Yeah, now I miss you..HuHu 😭
Me - Watch already. Made spaghetti bolognaise today. Lol

BTW - It was PERFECTO! 2nd round please! 😜😋

Golden Butter Cream Cake

If you love “BUTTER” this will be your favourite cake because it’s mine, it’s Babs, it’s my entire family’s, extended family, inner circle of friends - the list goes on!

No matter how sophisticated and well behaved you are, this cake will reveal the other hidden side of you. Yes, it’s shamelessly delicious! What’s more, you won’t want to share. 😅😅😅

There is quite simply, no cake with more mellow, buttery flavour or golden colour. The high proportion of butter makes it seem dense at first bite, but this cake instantly dissolves in the mouth, leaving behind a heavenly flavour and the illusion of light….ness! Unforgettable. 😋

Most recent feedback - Wow mum, I made the Butter Cake for Poppy’s birthday yesterday. Not a single slice left! First time I’ve made a cake with no leftovers. Yup! Isca says no other cake please. We served it with dollop cream and fresh strawberries. So very delicious.

Booking now open and will close tonight so better quickly order now ya. Cakes are strictly made to order. You may pick up your cake this Friday evening or Saturday morning. Made with French Butter and high quality ingredients only!

P.S. Be sure to get your cream and fresh strawberries ready!

♥️✌️Jen

Mother’s Day - Part 2.

Red Wine Chocolate Cake

Mother’s Day - Part 1.

Had a great start to Mother’s Day with an unusual early morning call from my son. Absence does make the heart grow fonder. ♥️♥️♥️

So, my only plan today was to whip up a spiritual cake and then to bake some Focaccia. I told Babs last night “How about we let tomorrow unfold as we go along?” It’s like that when you cook everyday and you can’t think of anything else you can cook up that’s more special.

So I kicked off the day with a delicious glass of red wine, this was my first ever. I chose Rawson’s Retreat, a Private Release, Shiraz Cabernet 2016. I wanted something deep red like a Port Wine. Check back to see if I made a good choice.

Life did unfold into a packed Japanese late lunch, Mentaiko Salmon Don and Okonomiyaki Don, complete with 2 cappuccinos (my favourite coffee) - courtesy of Chen.

Coffee Tart for Mama - A Pierre Hermé dessert!

If you’ve not gifted your Mama with a Pierre Hermé dessert, then this is it, this is your chance! Its look is simple, its texture is surprising, and its taste (the most important part of all) is “sublime.”

The crust is a Pâte Sucrée and the 1st base layer is a velvety coffee ganache made with white chocolate. Most coffee tarts including the Tiramisu Black Bottom Tart I make, use dark chocolate to which coffee is added and as good as they are, you get more chocolate than coffee. In other words, they’re mocha! White chocolate in this case carries the coffee flavour without adding much flavour of its own.

For this version, instead of using lady fingers for the second layer, I replace that with an ethereal Almond Roulade soaked with an additional hit of coffee. The top layer is lavished with coffee whipped cream.

So as to add more inspiration, wonder and awe to this Coffee Tart, the coffee used is a Tokyo Roastery Microblend. (roasted on-site and available only in Tokyo) It’s a delicate and expressive blend that comes to life with notes of cherry blossom, mandarin orange and a delightful, creamy golden sesame finish!

Open for booking now and last call is on Tuesday. ♥️♥️♥️

P.S. Please note that this coffee blend is limited and might be replaced with an equivalent depending on orders and on a first come first serve basis.

Kimchi for Penang

I’m very pleased with the making of this batch of Kimchi that’s bound for Penang. When you have all the ingredients at hand, that’s how it is. I believe your mental and emotional state is so important when preparing and handling food. That’s why I don’t like rushing or last minute requests, there’s a chance that the food will be compromised. So always choose your source of purchase and try to look at the disposition of kitchen staff and chef. And be fussy with store bought stuff!

When making the rue for Kimchi, go for organic rice flour because you want to ensure that the rice grains you choose is not destroyed by pesticides and herbicides most farmers use! Many people are unclear about the reasons to go organic. You go organic because you want polyphenols in your diet and polyphenols content in plants are impacted by the way it’s grown. There’s a consequence for modern agriculture techniques. Using pesticides and herbicides destroys these phytonutrients that are found in plants. That’s why people drink coffee for the coffee polyphenols, not the caffeine but it has to be organic and it best to have it black without the dairy.

According to Dr Emerson Mayer, gastroenterologist, neuroscientist and a renowned expert in the fur-brain axis, consuming fibre, polyphenols and a rich diet in different fermented foods is key to mental health. Wow, imagine that???

So be sure to add a variety of fermented foods into your diet and do it on a daily basis. Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Kefir, L-Rueteri, Tempeh, Kombucha, Yogurt are some that you can consider.

In CM, the 3 most important functions in a human body are digestion, absorption and elimination.
