Tis the weekend… And we are away… But somewhere in the highlands we are having scones with clotted cream and jam.. one of those ridiculously, quintessentially English things that people find so crushingly charming about the English. One of those ridiculously indulgent and fun things one does when in the *Highlands as well.. ..because the [...]
I remember ‘Sunday Roasts’ from my Uni days in Cardiff. They were a must. A ritual we looked forward to, with great anticipation. The Sunday roast, usually in the early afternoon for lunch, consisting of roasted meat, roast potato or mashed potato, with accompaniments such as Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, vegetables and gravy.. in this case [...]
Because I feel like getting Hairy.. and Dirty.. With YOU And I don’t mind using both my hands either. Hairy crabs.. you dirty, hairy boy. It’s that time of year again. Where the heat gives way to cooler weather.. Autumn is fast approaching in Hong Kong, and with it, peak season [...]
Ahh.. the eggs benedict. 2 poached eggs, ham or bacon, English muffins or toast, and a pitcher of hollandaise sauce (if you can wrestle it away from the kitchen). And oh.. Hollandaise, I would like to pour it all over my head and just rub it all over myself. Eggs Benedict is [...]
Long, thin, slender. This is the Western, Yau Char Kwai. Or the Mexican Youtiao, if you like. Churros are the supermodels of the doughnut world.. i.e. gangly, nubile and vaguely extraterrestrial. They are moist and soft inside, yet dry and hard to the touch.. crisp and fluffy all at once. You cannot [...]
Not just any Congee. Pig’s Blood and Intestine Congee.. It’s all a matter of taste really.. (just like porn – food porn, I am saying) Big, fat, lush deep fried intestine.. A gorgeous smattering of cubed gelatinized pig’s blood, shallots, spring onions, strips of ginger, fried garlic and onion oil, tons of [...]
Tis the weekend.. and tis time for more food porn. This one’s for the folks who say, “Sod it.. I’m going to have my fat fix.. and that’s that.” Avocado heaped on to runny fresh cheddar cheese, slapped on to chicken and sandwiched between two crispy butter soaked buns. Tit for tat, butter for fat. [...]

Slice it, Dice it, Eat it with a fork and knife. I recently had some rather exciting Turkish ice-cream, called Mado Ice Cream on my birthday.. it was divine. It’s harder than conventional ice-cream but super creamy and the best part is.. it hardly melts, even in the heat! So the story goes that the [...]
On our recent trip to Burma/Myanmar, the Mohinga was one of the dishes I really enjoyed pigging out on. Cherished as Burma’s national dish, Mohinga is a comforting noodle soup that exemplifies the earthy flavours of the country’s cuisine. Banana stems look like fibrous white leeks and taste very similar to the fruit. This Myanmar [...]
