All mussels fans, put your hands up, put your hands up. Did you rap to that line? Cause I totally did. I personally love mussels and often when it's on the menu, I would cook it in a broth. I would just boil it with some aromatics (garlic, ginger, shallots, lemongrass) and serve it with a dipping sauce. Today, I…
I discovered that scallops are 20 bucks per pound recently. Thinking of serving these for a party? Well, here's a suggestion, how about serving 1 scallop on every spoon.

I mean how can you go from eating pecan tarts, lamb roasts, cheesy mashed potatoes, chocolate mousse to eating a cucumber salad? Not possible for me. I still need time to transit, reluctantly,…
It's Monday. So, what time is it? Remember what I said in a previous post? For those who remembered, I heart thee. <3. For those who don't, well it's okay. I won't blame you for not paying attention to me. :( In 1 of my previous post, I said... "Do you feel that you tend to eat cleaner…
As much as I love western food, the cook in me knows that the best flavors come from Asian cuisines. Asian cuisines are drawing more attention around the world and it encompasses many varieties of cuisines; Chinese, Indian or Thai, just to name a few. Asia has a very long history of using spices and herbs. Dishes like Tom yum, Curries…
