Adventures in a Chinese- American Kitchen
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
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
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.

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

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
Hi! In my quest to capitalise on my pancake making abilities, I’ve decided to branch out into pockets. Aka Chinese empanadas (or calzones). When I was little, we had a family friend famous in the community for their pancakes. While the pancakes were awesome, The chive pockets were the real treat. Crispy exterior, fragrant and … Continue reading Tofu and Kimchi Pockets
