Merry Christmas, dear readers! I hope that you are enjoying a break from school or work and enjoying some delicious food – even if you don’t celebrate Christmas. I love holidays of all sorts, and this year for Christmas, I went to visit my family in Texas. My aunt from Hong Kong is spending the [...]

Sorry for the lack of update in the past couple of weeks! I’ve been pretty busy, and ever since we set up our kitchen, I haven’t gone out to eat much – and I’ll be starting some recipe posts soon, so stay tuned ^^ S and I visited our dear friend in Seattle last week, [...]

I was in Texas for my sister’s college graduation (congrats!!) and Mother’s Day, and of course, in addition to spending time with friends and family (and catching up on sleep), I enjoyed a lot of great food. Here I present to you some of my favorite meals from the week! Starting off with Chinese food: Warm [...]

**All photos from this post are courtesy of ekimc. My first catch-up post is from waaaaaay back. As in, Thanksgiving of 2011. I spent my holiday in Las Vegas with S., our college buddies, and friends from San Diego. It was a pretty exciting weekend, but this blog is about the food ;) We decided [...]
I was in San Diego for S’s birthday weekend, and we had quite a few food adventures. I went to my ‘must-go’ places (Phil’s, Yakitori Yakyudori, Tacos el Gordo) and visited a few new restaurants. All in all, a very delicious weekend. Here are some recaps of the weekend. (I only took photos at the [...]
So I finally got the rest of my food pics from my camera.. Hodad’s: I’ve heard of this place even before I landed in SD, so I had quite a bit of expectations going in. The restaurant is fairly small, and its walls are lined with (mostly custom) license plates from just about every state. [...]
My mother’s hometown, Changde, is in the Hunan province of China. Now, if you know anything about Hunan, you should know that it’s famous for having the most spicy food in all of China. In fact, when you eat out, there are very few dishes without at least a little bit of chili pepper or [...]
My latest adventures took me to Orlando, so I wanted to share some of the fine cuisine I found there :) Our method of finding restaurants was basically one trusty website: Yelp. By golly, Yelp is the most useful thing to take with you on trips.. and my friend’s Yelp app on the iPhone definitely [...]
I had the fortune of visiting several pretty high-end restaurants in Taiwan. The first was a grill restaurant called Yuan Shao (原燒) in Taichung, featuring several courses including appetizer, soup, stone-pot rice, and dessert. The meat that they provided for you to grill was of truly high quality, and although grilling takes a long time, [...]
For lunch, I present to you… bento (便當). Bento is a concept originated in Japan, consisting of a packed meal for one person. It’s composed of the usual – rice, meat, vegetable – all in single portions, neatly packed into a box. In Taiwan, bentos are a popular lunch item. You can choose a few [...]
