There are rice vermicelli, yellow noodles, green…

There is something very comforting about baking on a Sunday afternoon. First of all, the smell of baking perfumes my whole house with sweet and buttery aromas; secondly, there is no better way to beat my Monday blues than with homemade baked goods and start off the busy work week on the right foot. So, that was exactly what I…

Raisin Scones Recipe

Raisin Scones Recipe

I have never paid much attention to scones–I don’t even remember the last time I had them, but it all changed when I was on my cruise vacation. Being on a giant ship 24 hours x 9 days—mostly sea bound—means that the best past time on board was to eat. Every afternoon, I had scones for my afternoon tea, and…

Satay Prawns (Prawns with Spicy Peanut Sauce) Recipe

A few months ago, I made some satay peanut sauce from scratch, remember? I made so much that I still have the leftover, contained in a small bottle, silently and sadly sitting at an obscure dark corner in the fridge.

Ginger and Black Fungus Chicken Recipe (姜丝云耳鸡)

Ginger and Black Fungus Chicken Recipe (姜丝云耳鸡)

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.

Miso-Marinated Sea Bass Recipe

Miso-Marinated Sea Bass Recipe

I love Nobu’s black cod with miso, but it’s not easy to find fresh black cod in the market, at least not in my neighborhood. So I used Chilean sea bass instead. I love Chilean sea bass–the flesh is always so moist, tender, silky, and sweet. I also love the texture and the mouth feel of Chilean sea bass…it’s absolutely…

Fruit Salad Recipe (with Baby Shrimps and Toasted Coconut)

I am back to the normal posting cycle and most importantly, the comfort of my home.
