The first thing I do when I come up with a recipe is taking a note on my phone. Then I usually move onto testing it, and make necessary changes. If I decide to post the recipe, I either picture what the dish is going to look like in my head or doodle it out… Continue reading Sweet, sticky, spicy chicken wings with orange & honey glaze
Although my recipes in this blog are mostly vegetarian, I equally enjoy eating and cooking meat and seafood. Unfortunately my husband cannot eat most shellfish, which in fact is my favorite protein. So whenever I am not dining with him or he's out of town I go hard on eating and cooking shellfish. Not that he… Continue reading Spicy garlicky soybean paste prawns and soba noodles

If it was any other day… Continue reading Vegan coconut and cinnamon pancakes with ‘aquafaba’

And that really makes a huge difference in Hong Kong. Most importantly I don’t feel like melting while I’m cooking in my kitchen any… Continue reading Summer/Autumn meal – Spicy chickpeas, quinoa, mint & basil
