How time flies and it’s already December and 2012 will come to an end very soon. December has always been one of my favorite months (other than my birth month of September). The holidays are coming and December is all about baking and also year-end and holiday parties. This time of year, it’s all about recipes that you love and…
Last weekend, we went to Redondo Beach to celebrate my friend’s birthday. Redondo Beach is probably one of my favorite places to go to in the Los Angeles area, not because of the spectacular views and the nice beaches, but for the seafood.

Each with a mouthwatering cover and big bold text that pretty much screams “buy me and eat me.” Other than my regular magazine subscriptions, I usually succumb to these…
Let’s talk about your favorite summer seafood meals. For me, it’s simple peel and eat shrimp, lemongrass and Sriracha grilled shrimp or beer-steamed mussels and of course a cool starter like lobster and mango salad.

To celebrate this year’s July 4th, I have invited my good friend Harry Soo at Slap Yo Daddy BBQ to share an all-American burger recipe with us. Harry also came from Penang, Malaysia, and is currently the top 10 BBQ Pitmaster in the United States. His barbeques are truly legendary and the BEST I have ever tasted. Please take a…
