Teriyaki Ribs

Teriyaki Ribs

Tomorrow is the first day of my last semester in Uni. So, why not end the break with something easy and indulgent. What is more easy and indulgent than fall off the bone ribs. A good family friend of ours makes amazing ribs with a brown sugar rub (翠花排骨). I could follow their recipe, or... … Continue reading Teriyaki Ribs →

Sausage Stuffed Chicken Wings

Another day, another recipe! I've been wanting to experiment with something more technical and with leftover wings and sausage in the fridge, why not put the two together. I present: Sausage stuffed chicken wings. These are perfect as an appetiser or paired with waffles and some syrup or crema as a lighter play on chicken … Continue reading Sausage Stuffed Chicken Wings →

Kimchi Hollandaise

Happy new years! I hope everyone is off to a great start. My word this year is CS. As much as coding give me a headache, I need to stop procrastinating. On the culinary side, I’m proud to say that I am very much on trend. The NYT listed “chaos” as the number 1 food … Continue reading Kimchi Hollandaise →

Maui Eats pt. 4: Nalu’s South Shore Grill

Sorry for the late post.... This is the last one in the series After 5 days in Maui, we had been to front street, hung out at the beach, little bro went surfing and failed to go up a volcano twice. There were plenty of good bites, but still hadn’t had a single bite of … Continue reading Maui Eats pt. 4: Nalu’s South Shore Grill →

Maui Eats pt. 3: Down the Hatch

Maui Eats pt. 3: Down the Hatch

More Front Street eats! The plan was to go to Star Noodle. No seats available... Sal and Pepe? Nope. I was about to give up and head back to Paia, but little bro pointed out Down the Hatch. I initially dismissed it as a bar, but looks are deceiving. A quick search turned up a … Continue reading Maui Eats pt. 3: Down the Hatch →

Maui Eats pt.2: Paia Fish Market

Maui Eats pt.2: Paia Fish Market

We spent the third day in Maui enjoying the views. Initially, I was a bit disappointed that our hotel was so far away from good food (think Mama's Fish House, Sam Sato, Nuka...). Turns out there's a goldmine only 20 minutes from the hotel on Front street There's shops, art galleries, ocean front views for … Continue reading Maui Eats pt.2: Paia Fish Market →

Maui Eats Pt 1: Sam Sato’s

Guess what? I'm in Maui! This is my first time in Hawaii and wow... this place is amazing Maui is full of amazing eats. I could/should have planned a "Maui Restaurant Rush". That didn't happen >< I did some Googling 3 days before the trip and came up with a nice list... only to find … Continue reading Maui Eats Pt 1: Sam Sato’s →

Happy Thanksgiving 2022

It’s Thanksgiving already!  Between work, school and grad school applications, it’s been a really tough year. But…. There’s more than ever to be thankful for. A lot of these are repeats. That is intentional. There are some persistent things that more than deserve tk be on the (very abbreviated) list. Family: the economy has bred … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving 2022 →
