I know I won't be enjoying this coming Christmas since I will spending that day on a plane. AGAIN!! :( I can only console myself and tell myself "Hey, there's still New Year!". I have not been making New Year resolutions for the past few years and this year will not be exceptional. But at least, I can use this chance to recap some of the one-dish meals I have whipped up in …

How to be wordless if I have one same idea but several dishes derived from it ? Seems there are many things to write about this. Foil-steaming is what I turn to when I am really lazy, especially when it comes to poultry. But I thought foil-steaming follows similar concept as roasting/baking in an oven ? No heating a pan of oil, no sauteing different ingredients at different …
There are a few "must-eat" street food and snacks when you visit Tamsui, Taipei County in Taiwan. I will digress in this post, however.This potato-swirls-on-a-stick is NOT a must-eat but there is sure a crowd around the stall.

This is the kind of Nasi Lemak that has retained its simplicity throughout these years. Unfortunately, prices for such simple pleasures succumb to inflationary factors. What used to be less than one dollar is now about $1.20-$1.50.When you look at the rice and think hard, it is obvious this rice dish does not have too much ingredients. It's typically some ikan bilis slathered …

It is so hot and toasty these days and with some cantaloupe and sweet potato, I tried making this dessert - a combination of bur bua cha cha (have you heard of this dessert?) + honeydew "sago".
