I’d never tried Vietnamese food before I came to the United States. There was no Vietnamese restaurant in my hometown and Vietnamese cuisine had never crossed my mind. Then, Thai food was the only exotic food I knew. I first tasted Vietnamese food when I was attending graduate school in the Midwest. Stuck in the middle-of-no-where AKA Fargoland, Vietnamese food…

Apologies for being so unresponsive to your comments and the lack of posting. I am on the road for two weeks and will be heading back soon. However, I wanted to share with you a new summer recipe–pandan chicken or fried chicken wrapped with screwpine leaves. Screwpine leaves or pandan leaves are commonly used in Malaysia to infuse the food…
I 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…
Tau Hu Ky, or fried shrimp wrapped with bean curd skin is a must-have appetizer for me whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants.

Somehow the mini egg tarts tasted even better than the regular ones I made months ago. I am also entering this to “June 2007 Monthly Mingle –…
My current food crush on Japanese food continues with yakitori, or Japanese grilled chicken skewers. If you have tried yakitori before, chances are you have tasted these legendary grilled chicken meat balls. Known as Tsukune in Japanese, I am nuts for yakitori. They are juicy, yummy, and definitely my favorite and a must-have item at yakitori restaurants or izakaya (Japanese…
I am finally back after spending 3 weeks in Asia. As I walked into my house, I couldn’t help but noticing my lonely kitchen. She was a little dusty and sad. All my pots, pans, utensils, and kitchen appliances were buried deep inside my cabinets. My kitchen needs a little action and activities; she needs me. I resolved to give…
Following the cutesy creation from the leftover ingredients in my fridge, here comes the sexy ones. Flirting with the world with their perky tails while wrapped tightly with golden outfits, these fried shrimps are seductress to the taste buds and make everyone wanting and crazing for more after first bite, aka love at first bite. Inspired by this and Rice…
Six days, another six days and I shall hop on my flight on my way back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year. Never mind the unbearable coach seat (aka Economy class), 20 hours of eyes-wide-open (I can’t sleep on the plane) and unappetizing in-flight food, I can hardly wait for the day to come. I am brimming with excitement. I…
