    Crushed sago pearls is the next crust you need

    ” relentlessly speckled with pale, large-sized granules that crunch much more enthusiastically than its homogenous peers “ [ezcol_1half] You’ve been doing it all wrong. Ok, sorry, I’m being rude.  Let me be specific.  If you live outside of Taiwan and have been trying to mimic any number of Taiwanese-style fried street foods like crispy chicken…

    Failproof flakey pastry stuffed with mochi and chocolate

    [ezcol_1fifth]–[/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth] Listen, I’ve made this flakey pastry about four times now.  And each time, no matter how every single signs along the way was pointing towards an inevitable heartbreaking disaster, somehow, miraculously, it always turned out amazing.  I’ve stuffed them with jam and cheese, with fruits and nuts, and this time, with bittersweet chocolate…

    Bastardized pork belly biriyani

    [ezcol_1half] ”  NO REASON NEEDED, NO APOLOGY GIVEN.  “ I’m not religious.  I don’t have to explain why there’s pork, or fat-laden pork belly to be exact, in my biriyani. Some truths hold themselves to be self-evident.  Very few gets realized. I also don’t have to explain this recipe’s utterly impure pedigree, a zig-zagging parentage…

    [ezcol_1half] ”  the wonder of chicken is that, even though the meat lags behind pork and beef in intensity, its cracklings on the other hand, are incredibly potent and explosive.  …these itty bitty fragments of fat caramelize and crisps into powerful flavor pellets where bright rays of chickeny-ness are released when crunched through in your…

    Glazed Tadpole-oca donuts w/ salted peanut dust

    [ezcol_1half] Publishing a recipe that is aimed at overtaking an old one on a recipe blog like this, is a bit of a dangerous rabbit hole to fall down in. For starter, it implies that the old recipe being replaced, however satisfactory it was left for the public consumption in good faith, was after all,…

(Scroll left). The first thing I did after coming back from the Chiangmai workshop is not to cook, but to finish fixing my backgammon table 🤪. Yes “fix”, because a few weeks ago, the table actually fell and fell apart 🫣. I had to remake all the central joints (made them thicker too) and reattach them to the legs. Then I thought why stop there?  So I added two more extension arms that serves as snack plate 😅. Instead of four extendable joints, it now has six.  Cuz I have an issue with knowing when to stop. 

1 photo: fully extended with backgammon board. 
2 photo: fully extended without board.  Potentially a nice holder for Moroccan brass plate. 
3 photo: fully retracted. 

Think I’m done?  No. Because why waste the original central joints?  So I dismembered them like a chicken and put them back together to make a Frankenstein small screen/towel rack kinda thingy 🤣. 

4 photo: when I say Frankenstein I mean it.  Everything is absolutely crooked. Nothing is straight angled. The original retractable arms are now an incense holder. 
5 photo: back side.  The screen is a thin board glued with walnut burl veneer. 
6 photo: all the ornaments are there to hide some kind of mistakes or original drill holes 🤫. 
7 photo: since we don’t have a bath tub where it’s meant to be, it now sits in front of another furniture which makes no sense. 
 
So there.  Check out story if u want more explanation.

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I’ll be heading to #chiangmai tomorrow to start our culinary workshop!  I’m nervous… or excited… or nervous to meet all everyone 😂, and cook in a kitchen that I’ve never cooked in before 🫣. Whatever happens, it’ll be an adventure for sure.  I’ll be posting this journey as best as I could in my story so please follow along.  Wish me luck!  @acecampstravel

Did I mention I’ve acquired a new hobby lately?  Taking hours to sip tea and watch the the moisture evaporate from a hot tea pot.  I’m officially old.

A big heartfelt thanks to all the people who had signed up for me and @acecampstravel’s Chiang Mai culinary exploration workshop in November!  In the beginning, to be honest, I wasn’t exactly beaming with confidence that anybody would.  But in just a few days, we already reached the threshold number.  I am again floored by your support. 

In an effort to show gratitude, I attempted again at this thing that I’m really not good at, making videos 🤣. Here is one of the dishes I will be teaching on this workshop, a true northern Thai cuisine icon - khao soi.  Well, with a twist, of course. 

If you are interested in joining us, there is still a few spots left before we reach the maximum limit.  Head to @acecampstravel to register or follow my link in profile.  Thanks again.  Truly.
