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.

Maui Eats pt. 3: 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
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

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".

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
