And yes, I’ve been cooking …lots. Problem is the food gets eaten before a decent picture is taken. I’ve made Rasa Malaysia’s chicken satay complete with peanut sauce twice in the past week and each time we think about taking a picture, the hungry minions get restless, so we say "forget it!"
I did manage to [...]

Shanghai Soup Dumpling
Like the new look?
I know, I know, what can I say, I’m a fickle woman. Not that I wasn’t happy with my previous design but I thought there was too much going on with the colors and the sidebars that they were diverting the focus away from the blog posts. I knew I [...]

Rolled Omelette
I’ve always been curious about making my own Japanese omelette, you know the one you make in a rectangular pan? I know a lot of you wouldn’t want to purchase a pan specifically for this type of omelette but the recipe below makes a tasty egg dish – rolled or not. Treat it like [...]

Why do I have a feeling that I have been absent from this blog lately? Coherent thoughts about food seem to escape me at the moment.

Casserole-roasted Chicken with tarragon
A foodie’s most anticipated movie opened last Friday. There were Julie/Julia parties, there were movie premiere galas and there was my own private tribute to one of the most inspiring women I, alas, never had the pleasure to meet. Prior to reading her memoir “My Life in France”, I had lumped Julia [...]

Unagi Don over rice served with pickled radish
Remember that song from the 80’s? I seem to be singing it a lot lately. I’ve made no secret of my love for Japanese food especially their donburi fare. I always tell the “Hungry” Hubby that I must have been Japanese in a previous life. However, trying my [...]

The topic of grilled meat and seafood is very dear to my heart… or shall I say my stomach . Back in the Philippines, a thinly sliced-pork belly charred to perfection, locally called, “inihaw na liempo” is a perennial favorite, and to have it with grilled squid – absolutely sublime! This, however, shall be [...]
