MEET “THE WALTER WHITE” – THE KINGPIN OF MEAT BUNS

[ezcol_1half] PACKED WITH A WALLOP OF SCALLION GROUND PORK, A PIECE OF BRAISED PORK BELLY, ONE BRAISED SHITAKE MUSHROOM, ONE SALTED DUCK YOLK AND CHILI CONFIT, EACH BUN MEASURES 5 1/2" (14 CM) IN DIAMETER AND ALMOST  1 LB (450 GRAMS) IN WEIGHT IF THIS ISN'T CRIMINAL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] There's something about me unknown to most.  I have a sickly obsession for Chinese steamed pork buns.  Sickly, I said.  I think it was a childhood trauma that I developed in my earliest memory, over one afternoon by a hungry swimming pool when it was given to me as a snack, but I never suspect it would follow me ghostly into adulthood like an unsociable kink.  Ask my husband who never understood any of it, that whether it is placed on the table of a proper restaurant or abandoned in the metal cage of an electric warmer inside any 7-11's in Asia, or even just a carcass of it laying on the asphalt being picked by a mob of pigeons

CHURROFFLE AND CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

[ezcol_1half] YES, CHURRO WAFFLES [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] Gotta run today!  Leaving you quickly with yet another inbred waffle abomination.  Churros + waffles = churroffles.  Yes, apparently, churro waffles, too.  A clear proof that I spotted on Instagram, from Monochrome Bistro in Singapore, where they serve it with what looks like a huge scoop of cookies’n cream ice cream.  But you know, call me romantic.  I’d like to think that even after being barbarically deformed in between the burning metal teeth of a waffle griddle, that even when its own mother couldn’t recognise him anymore, that even when his previously tall and slender physique now seem like the mirage from another life… that deep down, churro still wants chocolate.  And chocolate still wants churro too, stubby and crooked as he is.  It’s true love. So here it is.  Churroffles tumbled in light brown sugar spiced with cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg, then go on to hug his soulmate, deep dark chocolate ice cream in a summer reunion.  Love is in the air.  Can you feel it?

THE JADED DOOR-NAIL MEAT PIES RUBBED W/ SCALLION BUTTER

[ezcol_1half] DOESN'T IT HELP YOUR CONFIDENCE IN MAKING THESE IN YOUR OWN KITCHEN, KNOWING THAT THEY AREN'T IMMORTALS, THAT THEY TOO BLEED JUICE, JUST LIKE THE REST OF US. [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] To most people who aren't born or raised in China or any of its politically disputed subparts, the idea of cooking Chinese cuisine, I guess, can feel intimidating.  For one, it sounds big.  And it is big.  It is big in a sense that it's actually less confusing to approach it not as a generalized whole, but as a ccoalition of many different regional representatives.  The food cultures in the north, really is a world away from the south, and from the east coast-lines to the west high mountains, vice versa.  And to make matters more complicated than say, how it is in America, in the best as well as the worst sense, the gaps between regional cultures aren't yet as erased by modernization and technologies as we speak.  So if you think you're scared about making southern dim-sum simply because you aren't Chinese, know that there's someone else born and raised in northern China, who feels just the same.  But I'm not saying this to scare you.  I'm saying this to let you know that, yes, while there is real deep

SHRIMP AND RASPBERRY SALAD

Beautiful crochet side plate is from Dishes Only. [ezcol_1half] THE OVERALL FLAVOURS ARE NON-AGRESSIVE, WITH THE TANGY AND SWEET INTENTION TO KEEP CALM, AND CARRY ON [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] Sorry, not particularly in a mood to talk today. That can happen I've been powering through a day of anxiety attack, set off by my son Dumpling who so randomly decided that I too, should have a heart attack. (If you needed recap, I have a very sick dog, whose apathetic small heart for the better part of his 15-years of unsocial life, sort of like the Grinch, have grown unstoppably large in the past 2 years. Except that in the medical world, instead of Christmas, this would be called a congestive heart failure). Following those events, I have been feeling pretty down. However, I'm trying to improve my mood. One of my friends actually told me that I could consider visiting https://purehempfarms.com to try and make myself feel better. Apparently, hemp is known to help people achieve higher energy and reduce feelings of anxiety. That sounds ideal for my current situation. So here, I leave you with a summer shrimp salad starring my most recent obsession, the puny little sweet succulence
