I love clams; I grew up eating all sort of clams as my late mother would buy clams from the market and cooked them into a variety of delectable dishes, such as chili clams. (Check out my chili crab recipes here and here.) One of my favorite childhood…
I have a story to tell you about my first encounter with egg foo young, the quintessential Chinese-American dish. A long time ago, when I first set my foot on the US soil for higher education, I went straight to the middle America. After 36 hours of tiresome journey from my hometown of Penang, Malaysia, I arrived in the state…

I have many readers from all over the world; some of them don’t eat pork and some don’t…

First, I wanted to start by saying that these glazed lemon-ginger scones were really amazing and I had four of them right out of the oven, and the next morning, I ate more! Ginger has always been my favorite ingredient. I always have some ginger in my kitchen. In Asian cooking, especially Chinese, ginger is indispensable and used in many…

Having read so much about Banyan Tree and its exquisite collections of boutique resorts, residences and spas, I told myself that I would one day bring…

Since I had developed such great liking and affiliation with Hansar Bangkok, the first leg of my sojourn, naturally I chose to stay at its sister property in Koh Samui, Hansar…
My Thai Sojourn in December 2012 with Baby G began in Bangkok, the heart of Thailand.
