芥兰 (Chinese Broccoli)

I love this dish! We can’t get 芥兰 here (Asian markets do not exist within a 2 hour radius of here), but Kosina went home several weekends ago and aside from all the food her parents gave her to bring back, she also stopped by Andrea’s parents’ place (and they essentially compounded the amount of …

炸馒头 (Fried Mantou)

I had these for the first time only a couple years ago, when my family discovered a 茶餐廳 (HK-style cafe) in Oakland that happened to serve them. They are glorious and if, at the time, I’d known how to make them (this was before I made my way into the cooking world), it’d probably be …

Honey Milk Tea

I have a new food love/supermarket find. If you have a Kroger nearby, you should definitely check it out. :D I credit the supermarket find to my neighbor. (All his recommendations to me have been spot on so far; I think it definitely helps that we both like eating healthy.) In any case, it’s Kroger …

葁醋牛尾蛋 (Sweet Rice Vinegar Oxtail & Eggs with Ginger)

So this dish is apparently supposed to be magical if you’re pregnant. (Or was it right after you’ve been pregnant?) Uh…one or the other. I didn’t pay such close attention because I don’t fall into either category, but anyway, it’s supposed to be good for you regardless of any of that. I was only unnerved …
