This past weekend, my neighborhood Albertson was having an egg sale for only 99 cents a carton. When I saw the ad, I immediately thought of Chinese tea eggs. My uncle recently gave me a block of aged Chinese pu-erh tea (普洱茶) and it’s perfect for tea leaf eggs (茶叶蛋).
I am a huge fan of eggs, especially hard-boiled eggs in curry, soy sauce, or in this case, Chinese tea. What’s not to love about eggs that are steeped for hours in Chinese tea, with marbled pattern on the egg white, plus to-die-for aroma from the tea? I simply love Chinese tea leaf eggs…

Teriyaki Chicken
Guest Writer: My Cooking Hut
Please welcome My Cooking Hut (please check out her curry laksa post) back as she guest posts yet another droolsome dish: Japanese teriyaki chicken and shares her teriyaki chicken recipe with us.
I believe I don’t have to elaborate too much what Teriyaki Chicken is. This ever so popular Japanese dish is really well known is any part of the world. The word, teriyaki is a combination of two Japanese words “teri” and “yaki.” Teri means luster and yaki means grill or broil.
Teriyaki sauce can be bought in a bottle at any supermarkets. The leading brand is probably Kikkoman that I know of. For me, I prefer to mix the sauce from scratch–it tastes better I reckon. It’s not at all complicated to make teriyaki sauce. The main ingredients are mirin, sake, soya sauce, and sugar. Some recipes add grated ginger…(get teriyaki chicken recipe after the jump)

I am motivated to learn more about Japanese cuisine and to understand the basic techniques of making Japanese food, precisely Japanese home cooking.
My current love affair with Japanese [...]
Truth be told, I don’t cook as much as you think I do. And, perhaps much to your disbelief, I don’t eat as good as it appears to be. Well, not every day.
Like many of you who has a busy and hectic lifestyle, I eat too much unhealthy food, for example: instant noodles or ramen. [...]
I am not sure what it is, it could be the heat outside, but I just don’t have much of an appetite lately, especially for lunch.
Lunch is tough because I am definitely not a sandwich and salad type of person (I frown at the very thought of them), but Chinese food and Malaysian food with [...]

As a Chinese, I’ve never had to think hard when it comes to buying noodles at the market. Noodles are a staple in Chinese cuisine; the varieties of noodles available are just like pastas to the Italians–they come in different sizes, shapes, colors, texture, and forms. There are rice [...]
Ginger and black fungus chicken is a plain and humble dish that anyone can whip up in their kitchen, and most importantly, it’s delicious and goes well with steamed rice.
This ginger chicken dish is inspired by a recipe from “Thai Cooking Made Easy,” a must-have Thai cookbook in my opinion. I have no doubt that [...]
I am back to the normal posting cycle and most importantly, the comfort of my home.
Let’s just say that I am just very happy to be home, so much so that I was practically lying there on my bed and couch for the whole weekend–doing nothing and consuming only Indomie instant noodles but still feeling [...]
