Alive, moving and slimy feeling sea cucumber. I have tasted dried sea cucumber, but not a slug like this…(view more weird and creepy sea creatures after the jump. WARNING: they are…
As much as I love other cuisines and am contantly expanding my culinary repertoire by sampling out new foods, ultimately I love Chinese cuisine the best. The reason is simple: Chinese cuisine is probably the most comprehensive cuisine in the world with numerous regional flavors that I can never get bored of! (Chinese food consists of eight regional flavors.) Other…

So, today, I am going to introduce you to Nasi Melayu (literally means “Malay rice”) or the cooking of the…

I usually get my fix of crawfish in Beijing, but I have to say that these spicy and aromatic crawfish (香辣小龙虾) I had in Shanghai–cooked without huajiao/花椒 or Sichuan peppercorns–are no less incendiary and addictive compared…
