Bacon-wrapped Cherry Tomatoes Recipe
June 22nd, 2007Recipes, Appetizer Recipes, Recipes, Eating Light, Recipes, Japanese Recipes, Recipes36 CommentsI am writing this from Beijing (yes, Beijing again!). The local time is 10:30 AM and the sky is grey and very overcast (or is it pollution?).
Back in the United States, summer is in full bloom now. The sun is scorching hot, all flowers blossom, young senoritas are strutting their stuff in short shorts, but most evidently, everywhere you turn to, there is a party going on–be in on the beach, at the parks, inside or outside the house, or at the club house. Summer is always fun in the United States.
Since this is the first summer Rasa Malaysia celebrates, I thought I would share some of my favorite summer recipes with you…

Have you ever served grilled cherry tomatoes with bacon at your parties? If not, do try this out. It’s real simple to make but the end results are delicious, pretty, and a total crowd-pleaser for your parties all summer long. I first had them in Tokyo a few years ago and now am hopelessly hooked. This is also a must-have item for me whenever I have Japanese yakitori…
I am not going to write a lengthy post so I will let the pictures speak the words for me. Click the above to view the complete gallery.

wow…such a simple dish yet it looks so delicious! great job:)
That basil leaf gives such a striking contrast for the other elements in the photo!
so simple and beautiful!
Simple, elegant — and beautifully photographed!
Looks great! but why soak the toothpicks in water for?
Those are so adorable and they look delicious too!
there they are those bacon wrapped tomatoes i heard about. how beautiful!
Such a beautiful picture, such a delicious subject. Definitely going to make this. Thank you!
A mix of healthy and sinful food! Hurray!
Interesting :) I will have to try it out when I have guests over next time. :)
I can already taste the savory bacon with the sweet tomatoes :)
(It IS pollution in BJ)
Ooo yum. That’s a lovely combination of flavours. The French do a similar entree – prunes with bacon wrapped around each prune, then grilled! Yum!
For bacon lovers like me, this is a “healthier” indulgence! :) I like it!
ooh two of my favourite foods too! i must try this!
so easy and yet looks delish. lovely pics you hv there
hmmmm… in Beijing AGAIN are we? Is L_v_ in the air, gurl? Ha!Ha!
Precious looking hors d’oeuvres RM.
Probably the best example of “less is more” photography I’ve seen this year. I’m always praising Haalo for this sort of thing, but you really hit the peak with these shots.
Rasa-
steamy tells me that you have secret “pill” for youth. Are these cherry bacon tomatoes part of the secret?!
Cough it up! ;)
I am so going to do this when our cherry tomatoes start coming in! Thanks for the idea.
everytime i want to look at some awe-inspiring pics, i come here!
actually, it is shichi-mi gotarashi.
7 (seven) can be pronounced nana or shichi. that is where the confusion starts
i’ve been a fan of these ever since going to shensengumi in fountain valley. made some tonite on the grill. yummy!
this is cute. :D
Slurps…not a fan of cherry tomatoes but with your recipe…I will be now.
How super simple and genius! Bacon can make everything better really no?
Do they still explode when you bite them? Looks extremely delicious! (definitely pollution in beijing, ya)
Hey, just added you to my blogroll! Great site.
Tomatoes and bacon — two of my favorite food groups.
You know you’ll always get a comment from my when you bacon wrap anything. http://foodmarathon.blogspot.com/2007/01/why-havent-they.html
