Angel Hair Pasta with Seafood Recipe

Minced Chicken and Pork Rolls/Jijuan Recipe (鸡卷)

Having a food blog is great, really. Other than the dedication to constantly whipping up good food (and try not to repeat the same dish in order to generate new content!), I also learn to experiment with different cuisines and recipes that I wouldn’t have attempted otherwise. (I mean, why would I want to cook a dish when there is…

Bak Kut Teh Recipe

During my last trip back to Malaysia, I stopped by Kluang, a city in the state of Johore. It’s always great to go places, enjoy great eats, new cooking, and the trip did just that for me. Kluang is famed for its Bak Kut Teh (Pork Bone Tea Soup) so I had many meals of it. I also discovered a…

Tau Hu Ky, or fried shrimp wrapped with bean curd skin is a must-have appetizer for me whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants.

I made these mini Portuguese egg tarts for a birthday party a couple of days ago and I just have to share the pictures above with you because they are simply too cute.

The pain from my recent dental surgery is slowing easing away; I am starting to be able to chew, well, on foods again.
