One of the functions that I seriously enjoy is attending Chinese wedding banquets, which in my opinion is quite a dream come through for serious foodies like myself–well, minus the uninspiring ceremonies and acts such as deafening Yum Seng (bottoms up in Cantonese) echoes and really bad karaoke performance by obnoxious and drunk guests!
If you haven’t been to one, I will tell you that Chinese wedding banquets are rather awesome in terms of food. Expect dishes upon dishes of really good food, typically comprising of 4-5 cold/hot appetizers first dish, follow by a soup (usually shark’s fin soup), a poultry dish (mostly chicken), prawn, fish, vegetables, rice/noodles, and wrap up with a traditional Chinese dessert. Eight dishes are usually served, but it’s not uncommon if you get up to 10 courses. You get the picture, guests will be eating wonderful Chinese food (non-stop) for about 60-90 minutes…

This is my lemon chiffon cake. I love the lemony essence and the pillowy soft texture of this chiffon cake.

What kind of chiffon cake do you like?

This past weekend, our neighborhood Ralph was giving away free eggs–a carton of 18 large eggs. Being the cheapo shopper that I am, I didn’t pass up the opportunity, of course. I have always loved eggs and I do shop at Ralph, plus more eggs mean I can experiment with some baking and make my [...]
My secret ingredient for this souffle egg white balls recipe is red bean paste. Red bean paste or 红豆沙 is widely used in Chinese cuisine and Japanese cuisine for many dessert dishes.
I must confess that I have never made these red bean paste souffle balls or 高力豆沙 at home. A classic Shanghainese dessert, I have [...]
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. Somehow the mini egg tarts tasted even better than the regular ones I made months ago. I am also entering this to [...]
After my brief but intense love affair with Japanese food, I am ready to get back to my culinary root. I miss my savory, fiery, rich, sweet, sour, salty, and pungent Malaysian food. As much as I love other cuisines and am constantly infatuated with various exotic dishes from other countries, I am not about [...]
Everyone loves Portuguese egg tarts and I am sharing my Portuguese egg tarts recipe with you.
I did not make these Portuguese egg tarts from scratch. If you stay true and authentic to the recipe, it’s perfectly fine to take short cuts when it comes to cooking or baking. For the shell, I “cheated” with a [...]
