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. [...]

Ah.. food porn is good for the soul. You guys keep asking me where this Curry Chee Cheong Fun stall can be located. Here at [...]
Because I am away on my travels.. and I need to fill this space… .. as well as satisfy my need to drool over something hot. And you would probably agree, that this angry guy, sure paints a pretty picture.. The Boston Lobster.. Care for a Claw?
Because I need some eye candy for the recent spate of irritations I’ve had to deal with.. ..let’s just all pause for a moment, and share the Pappardelle Love. Pappardelle are very broad fettuccine. The name reportedly derives from the verb “pappare”, to gobble up. If you don’t mind, I will go gobble [...]
The only dish that I enjoy eating before I go for my 18 kilometer run, is the Nasi Lemak. Somehow, this combination of rice cooked in coconut milk, chili sambal anchovies, half a hard boiled egg, deep fried chicken, sambal squid, peanuts and cucumbers really gives me the boost I need to push that final [...]
