Chrysanthemum Tea

November 8, 2011

Once you have tried the freshly brewed homemade chrysanthemum tea (菊花茶 guk fa cha), you will never think of buying and tasting commercially produced chrysanthemum tea anymore. Why? Coz it’s way tastier and healthier. The pure fragrance of dried chrysanthemum petals is just out of this world! Love it!

Ahh… salted egg yolk, my love! How are you? Long time no eat you! Hahaha :D When it comes to salted egg yolk in Chinese dishes, the most obvious choice is the partnering of prawn with this sinful duck egg. And the favorite way to cook it is either with butter or kam heong style [...]

Chinese Rice Cake With Minced Pork & Leeks

Chinese white rice cake, Shanghai rice cake or pak kor meen… they mean the same thing. I didn’t really fancy eating pak kor meen when I was young because it was usually very chewy and difficult to swallow. However recently my dad help me rediscovered this childhood food again.

When I saw this recipe in my favorite Beancurd Flavor book, I knew I gotta try it. Osmanthus ‘Gui Hua’ Beancurd is sort of a replica of Osmanthus Shark Fin dish that I so loved. Typically you can find Osmanthus Shark Fin as one of the ‘season’ in the four season dish served in Chinese [...]

Hmm what can I say? I’m having beancurd fever! Of course that doesn’t explain why I’ve been idle for nearly 10 days. I make Perilla Leaves Kimchi again and also experimented with some new recipes; resulting in 2 successes and 1 failure. Deep fried beancurds with minced pork is one of the successful experiment.

Fried Crispy Beancurd Cubes w Fermented Black Beans

Fermented black beans or douchi (豆豉) in spicy mackerel taste so good with porridge. They are the best and my favorite. This canned food is in fact the only food I know that uses fermented black beans. I’ve never eaten any other fermented black beans dish at home (except the one mentioned above) or in [...]
