gateau a la sour cream + blueberry custard
[ezcol_3quarter][/ezcol_3quarter] [ezcol_1quarter_end] For someone who’s technically unemployed, I don’t know if this would violate the definition of such word but actually, for the past 2 weeks, I’ve been enjoying some sort of a “holiday”. Well… a holiday on house-arrest if you will, but nonetheless, a holiday. Despite the… minor inconvenience that we’re currently bound to the last…

CANTONESE-STYLE ROAST PORK BELLY
[ezcol_1third] On the 20th of May 2013, I made a recipe that up to this day, more than a year later, still haunts me. It was a glorious, beautifully crafted specimen of pork belly confit, originally created by the Thomas Keller of whom I almost always, agree with. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with it.…

GARAM MASALA YOGURT-CREAMED SPINACH
[ezcol_1fifth] [/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth] SNACK ON THIS WARM AND TANGY YOGURT-CREAMED SPINACH. I’LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU. Let’s pretend that you’re scooching on my overly soft leather sofa, and while I’m making a considerable amount of noise in the kitchen getting the dinner ready. You guys pop a bottle of something white, and snack on this warm, mildly spicy…

EASY MOLE-D BEEF TOSTADAS
[ezcol_1half] I have never been to Mexico. To clarify further, I have never even been close to any of the states next to Mexico except maybe LA, which I’m not even going to use as my pathetic credentials on real Mexican cooking which is to say, zero to none. I’ve heard that Taco Bell is about as…

CARAMEL STRAWBERRY, BRIE, BUTTER/SUGAR TOASTS
[ezcol_2third][/ezcol_2third] [ezcol_1third_end] AFTER 10 months of not being able to leave… not a country, not even a state/province, but a particular CITY due to personal circumstances, at a certain point, the “think tank” starts to resemble more like a warm puddle in the middle of a barren desert. Nowadays I seek recipe-inspirations like a stinking camel seeks for water, only minus the ability to regurgitate.…

STACKED GREEN PIG SANDWICH
A SANDWICH THAT HAS NO STORY… IT’S JUST REALLY TASTY. YESTERDAY, the last day of Jason’s 3-day-business-trip to Hong Kong, Jiaozi/Dumpling pulled a performance of his life at 10 in the morning, in a theatrical masterpiece called – This Is It. Good bye, mom and dad. Limping and whimpering, wordless but powerful… his flawless craft of…

FIRE AND ICE, AND EVERYTHING NICE
[ezcol_2third] the refreshment of slippery noodles in an icy tangy broth… gliding down with sizzling pork fat on a stick. BEST ARGUMENT A SUMMER CAN HAVE. [/ezcol_2third][ezcol_1third_end] SEEMINGLY, if you think that I have lost my mind and regards to the diversity of this blog somewhere in the frozen land of popsicles, gelato and gelato plus…

MOSCATO AND SPICES POACHED PEAR GELATO
[ezcol_1half] [/ezcol_1half][ezcol_1half_end] CAN I JUST SAY… ONE OF THE TASTIEST GELATO I’VE HAD TYPICALLY, this is where I enter the room, neck stretched and knuckles cracked, oozing a bit a creepy calmness to suggest the looming turbulence, and ghostly hovers over the keyboard… Inhale… Then screeeech, obnoxiously, on the worst, ever! weekend-getaway from hell, carrying a Dumpling that was dangerously “soupy” and could burst…
