Can you believe that it’s almost August 2012? Soon it will be Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas. Anyway, while summer lasts, I wanted to share a popsicle recipe with you. I grew up with a lot of popsicles in Malaysia. Back home in Penang, we could buy really cheap, colorful, and exotic-tasting popsicles that feature the abundant fruits found…
In early 2008, I shared my thoughts about Chinese and the foods that we consume in my version of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (for Chinese people), in which I categorized the foods that Chinese eat into 4 categories. I love eating expensive Chinese food, such as abalone, fish maw, geoduck, hairy crab, etc. Most of the time, I indulge in…
Everyone loves their morning bacon, but you can use bacon in many other recipes, for example, these bacon-wrapped scallops. The crispy and greasy bacon adds a buttery and smoky flavor to the scallops, and the end result is always heavenly, especially when they are grilled. To make perfect grilled bacon-wrapped scallops, first you have to make sure that the scallops…

It’s scorching hot in the United States now and the weather map is seeing RED and ORANGE all across the continent! In hot weather like this, I turn to shaved ice to cool down my body and quench my thirst. Here is the Taiwanese shaved ice with fresh fruits recipe in my cookbook “Easy Chinese Recipes.” In recent years, shaved…
One of my favorite things to do is reading food and travel magazines. I usually go crazy when it’s summer as the newsstands are filled with all sorts of summer-themed magazines. 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…
Every summer, when I host BBQ parties, I would always have satay for my guests. My favorite is chicken satay. It’s hard not to fall in love with satay—skewered of marinated meat (chicken or beef) grilled over fire, and then served with a savory peanut dipping sauce. The combination is just brilliant. While I make Malaysian-style satay most of the…
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. What about all those extra hot dog buns left over from 4th of July? I’m thinking lobster salad again. Nothing fancy, just delicious chunks of…

If you’re looking for new barbeque recipes and ideas, I wish to tempt you with my upcoming Asian-style BBQ recipes. Let’s start with this mouthwatering lemongrass grilled shrimp, spiced with…
One of my favorite bento is chicken karaage, or Japanese fried chicken bento. In the United States, chicken kaarage is also referred to as sesame fried chicken in many Japanese restaurants. Other than chicken teriyaki, chicken karaage is probably one of the most popular combinations when it comes to Japanese bento. If you have had Japanese food or lunch box,…
