Last Friday night, my colleagues and I went to Ding Tai Fung in Arcadia, the famed outpost of the multi-million dumpling house originated from Taipei. After watching my American colleague repeatedly burning his tongue by the piping hot Xiao Long Bao and had the “soup” inside the dumpling squirting all over his shirt and face, I asked him the following…
Fried whitebait consumed at a tapas bar in Madrid, Spain. I just love fried fish, little fish, to be precise. The best ones were my family’s specialty–small fish lightly marinated with turmeric powder, deep-fried to crispy goodness, with a vinegar-soy dipping sauce loaded with chopped bird’s eye chilies. Heavenly!
The slimy but savory reason why I love Paris. For the sweet reason, please click here. Escargot (AKA edible snails) is a popular French gourmet food–an appetizer that I never miss whenever I dine at French restaurants or in France. I just love them with parsley butter or prepared A La Bourguignonne… (more picture after the jump)

The best Spaghetti alle Vongole I have ever tasted in my life! Spaghetti alle Vongole is a very popular pasta dish in Italy and can be found in most restaurants serving Italian or Mediterranean fares.

My beloved mother passed away on 5/5/08 at 9:30 am. I was home in Penang attending her funeral. This morning, my family and I spent Mother’s Day picking up her cremated remains…it’s the 7th day since her demise (头七). Dearest mother–I wanted to let you know that everyone in the family loves you very very much and that we will…
I am looking for the recipe of Po Tak, a sour and spicy Thai seafood soup. I had this slurpylicious Po Tak at “Spice I Am” at Surry Hills, a very popular Thai restaurant in Sydney. (I highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Thai food.) Po Tak tastes different compared to Tom Yum Goong; it comes in a clear soup…
I fell in love with the street food of India. Despite multiple warnings from many people that I shouldn’t be eating outside of my hotels, I ventured onto the streets of Mumbai and Bangalore searching for street food and local taste and was rewarded handsomely.
