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 than the different tastes and cooking styles, there are also multiple ways of preparing Chinese food: stir-fry, steam, poach, braise, pan-fry, soup, BBQ, stew, and the list goes on…
This collection of food porn is Teochew (Chiuchow) cuisine or 潮洲菜. I love teochew (chiuchow) cooking, especially the way they prepare their seafood and dishes such as braised duck, tofu, etc. Teochew food is really good, do try out if you have a chance.

The oysters look smoking hot, it looks great. I love food served in hot plates. :)

I’m not familiar at all with Chiuchow cooking so, if ever, I’ll be eagerly waiting for some of your Chiuchow dishes.
The oysters look fabulous!

OMG thank you so much! I’ve been doing some crazy research on Teochew cuisine, trying to learn more about it since that’s my roots (and I know absolutely nothing about it).
Gosh everything looks so good! I notice there’s quite a lot of overlaps between Teochew cuisine with Hokkien cuisine, for eg popiah, oyster omelette, etc.

Good morning! I am a malaysian currently studying in th UK. I just started to do my own cooking and am glad I chanced upon your fantastic food-blog. I tried the fried rice and noodles recipe and they taste great. However is it possible if someone can enlighten me when a recipe or a cook says 1 cup of water, how big is the cup? or roughly how much is the capacity in maybe mililitre? thank you in advance.

Teochew recipes are really not my specialty as I am not of teochew descent. If I do come across a good recipe, I will post it on my blog.
