PUMPKIN SPICE COCNUT ICE CREAM IN A BLANKET
[ezcol_1half] I LIKE TO HIDE MY VEGETABLES IN ICE CREAMS [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] Starting this Sunday, we’ll leave Bejing for more than a month, traveling to Hong Kong (for work), then Taiwan, then maybe Lisbon… Madrid… St Sebastian… or who knows. Traveling used to be a big part of who we are, but we haven’t done this…

THE WORLDLY PULLMAN-TORTILLA TACOS
[ezcol_1half] IS IT, LET’S EAT NOW AND KILL EACH OTHER LATER? [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] What has this world come to? Or, all along, this is how we always have been? I know. This is a food blog, rainbows and marshmallows and summer noodle salads. Politics, world affairs… are not palatable, instead, I should be talking about…

CRANBERRY VIENNESE SANDWICH CREAMS
The crochet side-pate is from Dishes Only. THEY ARE THE COOKIE-VERSION OF A FEEL-GOOD MOVIE, EMOTIONALLY EQUIVALENT TO A BOX OF GOLDEN TWIN-PUPPIES EACH HUGGING A HAPPY GIGGLE. [ezcol_2third] [/ezcol_2third][ezcol_1third_end] This is what I’ve been busy with for the past 7 days, recreating Mark & Spencer’s Viennese raspberry sandwich creams. What does that say about me, spending…

SEOUL, AND CHICKEN GALBI RAMEN
[ezcol_1half] THANK YOU, SEOUL, FOR CARRYING THIS LIMP SPIRIT THROUGH ITS STREETS, FEEDING HER WITH NOURISHMENT, GIVING HER SUNLIGHTS. [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] So, 7 days went fast. And we’re back. This past week, instead of a “vacation”, was really closer to being on a emotional exile. After two years of relentless, losing battles against too much…

STICKY TOFFEE PANCAKES
[ezcol_1fifth] [/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth] A BUBBLY SYMPHONY OF BUTTER AND CREAM, SUGAR AND HONEY, A PINCH OF SEA SALT AND BRANDY HERE AND THERE, AND THAT LAST TOUCH OF VANILLA I’m quickly leaving you the last post before we take a short trip to Hong Kong and Seoul next week. It’s been… well… 2 years since the…

MAMA’S BRAISED CHICKEN LEGS ON RICE W/ FRIED CHILI CAPERS
[ezcol_1third] IT IS, DILEMMA. FORTUNATELY, ONE THAT COULD BE TACKLED WITH A BIT OF REVERSE-ENGINEERING. [/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end] We don’t, most times for good reasons, screw with heirloom recipes. Recipes that are passed down for generations. Recipes that our grandmother learnt from her grandmother, so on and so forth, are generally deemed as the sum of…

CRUSTY RADISH DUMPLINGS FOR MY DUMPLING
[ezcol_1half] MY DUMPLING COMES WITH AN EXTRA DISK OF SALTY, CRACKLING, DRAMATIC BUT ALSO DELICATE PERSONALITY. IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR EVERYONE WHO LIKE SMOOTH RIDES, BUT IT’S MY DUMPLING AND I LIKE IT EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS. [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] I’ve always liked western funerals. Or to be more specific, I’ve always liked…

I LOVE YOU
[ezcol_1fifth] [/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth] October 2nd 2015, a sunny autumn Friday. A part of myself died peacefully in my arms. I will love you forever, I promise. Jiao Zi (Dumpling) From 2000 ~ 2015 [/ezcol_3fifth] [ezcol_1fifth_end] [/ezcol_1fifth_end]
