CARAMEL APPLE PIE BISCUIT
[ezcol_2third][/ezcol_2third] [ezcol_1third_end] GENERALLY speaking, food makes people happy. I’d like to think that I make happy foods. I’d like to think that to the people wondering to this place, who are just one kale salad-away from opening a suicide.word, a fast responding blueberry oatmeal cookie, in some ways, is a contribution to humanity. I’d like to think…

FROZEN GRAPES DAIQUIRI
I’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE IN JUST a few days, lays a much anticipated family weekend-getaway to Beijing’s outskirt near the Great Wall. Long neglected enthusiasm and BBQ-equiped, we were gonna shake the clouds of illness that’s been shit-storming us for the the past entire year, and dare to freaking live again. Just a few…

THE MEMOIR OF A BEEF BURGER
[ezcol_1half] MY grandfather was a mysterious man. Not much is known for facts but there are certainly many stories about him, speaking of a skinny, humble working-class man often seen in between two slices of bread trying to make a buck or two at food fairs back in the late 1800’s. Who his ancestors were…

MY FAVORITE CHILI SAUCE – THE MEAN SANTA
[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half][ezcol_1half_end] THIS, this is my favourite chili sauce yet. And that’s saying a lot. One of the perks about growing up from an Asian background is that, pretty much since birth, most of us have been prepped in a semi-military-style training to resist torture and pain… that’s inflicted onto our taste-buds. We’ve been conditioned to be…

OLD BEIJING LAMB SKEWER
[ezcol_3quarter][/ezcol_3quarter][ezcol_1quarter_end] THERE are many virtues about Beijing, and as far as I’m concerned, they are all true. The widely studied, highly evolved lung-capacity of its residence to withstand extremely volatile air molecules is among the most celebrated. The profound unity and rewardless participation in the national sport of competitive spitting, for god and country, is none but true…

BROWNIE-COW POPSICLES
SHUT UP, SHUP UP, SHUP UP [ezcol_1half] Let’s play a game, shall we? Let’s see how much of my babbling you can withstand before you say “shut up, shut up, shut up!” and burst into the kitchen to make yourself one of these milk and any-brownie, or as I call it, brownie-cow popsicles? Right, so…

THREE CHEESE MAZEMEN
MIGHT AS WELL CALL IT, A-MAZEMEN [ezcol_1half] SOMETHING truly unexpected happened this morning. Something that, as far as I can remember, has never before happened to this under-exercised but nonetheless, well-conditioned casing of white-meat. In the wee hours of this morning as a standard procedure, I rolled over in a complex twist and tango with…
