Do you like Laksa ? Laksa is an iconic Malaysian coconut curry soup with rich, fragrant, and flavoured broth. I always wanted to try making Laksa but felt it’s not an easy job as it requires a lot of spices and ingredients from scratch. However, when I saw Marion’s Kitchen simply using Thai red…
Shogayaki / Japanese Grilled Pork with Ginger Sauce 薑汁豬肉
When I firstly used Waitrose thinly sliced bacon for hot pot, I was also thinking to use it for making this Japanese popular home cooking dish : Shogayaki (生姜焼き). ‘’Shoga’’ means ginger and ‘’Yaki’’ means grill in Japanese, this dish generally refers to paper thin sliced pork so these thinly sliced bacon I got…
To Makeover My Leftover : Slippery Eggs with Lamb Over Rice
I cooked Waitrose Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks for a Sunday Roast last week but to be honestly I don’t think it tasted amazingly good. The portion was just too much for me, I saved the leftover in the fridge and I’ve decided to turn it into a total different dish : Cantonese style slippery eggs with…
Teriyaki Mushrooms 照燒杏鮑菇
I know Teriyaki sauce can be used for seasoning or marinade with meat, seafood, tofu, and vegetables but I never thought of using it with mushrooms as a meatless option until I saw Liza from Woksofveggies just made it recently ! Adapted from Woksofveggies and also Omnivorescookbook recipes, here is how I make it…
Taiwanese San Bei Ji / Three Cup Chicken 台式三杯雞
Taiwanese San Bei Ji (三杯雞), or Three Cup Chicken is one of the most classic Taiwanese homey recipes that my mum would usually make at home. For those people who don’t understand Mandarin may not have clue what does ‘’Three Cup’’ mean ? The name ‘’Three Cup’’ actually refers to the equal parts of…
Spicy Garlic Butter Prawn Spaghtti

Suan La Fen / Hot & Sour Noodles Soup 酸辣粉 (蒟蒻麵版本)
Suan La Fen (酸辣粉) is famous Szechuan-style hot and sour noodles soup that consists of spicy, sour, and umami flavours along with noodles and different ingredients. Before I always had instant noodles version, but it turns out making Suan La Fen at home is not as difficult as you thought. 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞…
Japchae / Korean Glass Noodles Stir Fry
Japchae (or Chapchae/잡채) is one of my must order dishes when eating at Korean restaurants. (another one is sea food pancake!) I love the chewy texture of Korean style glass noodles and the taste with various ingredients (meat, vegetables, eggs…). Have heard Japchae is Korean classic dish particularly for festive days or special occasions,…
Taiwanese Zha Jiang Mian / Soybean Paste Noodles 台式炸醬麵
Zha Jiang Mian (炸醬麵), aka soybean paste noodles, is actually a very common street food in Taiwan. You may notice Korean ‘’Jajangmyeon’’ sounds quite like Mandarin Chinese ‘’Zha Jiang Mian’’ as Jajangmyeon originated from Chinese dish but then was transformed to Korean style noodles. Same in Taiwan, Zha Jiang Mian is a Northern Chinese…
格陵蘭之旅：Greenland Day 5 // The last day in Kangerlussuaq
Day 5 kangerlussuaq 13:10 → Copenhagen 21:30 前一晚才經歷了一場極其夢幻的北極光之夜，沒想到格陵蘭之旅這麼快就要結束了，這一切還仿彿像一場夢一樣，大概真的要等我們上了飛機才會有旅程結束的失落感吧。 前一天晚上我們是在大間的廚房煮米粉湯，今早則轉戰到另一頭的小廚房料理早餐(反正青年旅館沒甚麼人都隨便你用)，然後在小廚房發現一個外觀很像電暖爐，但實際上「應該」是烤麵包機的小家電。(第一次看到這種型態的烤麵包機覺得有點新鮮) 依舊利用僅剩的食材與現有杯盤道具，擺出一桌乍看有點像樣的早餐，算是每次用餐前的小確幸。 公共區域堆放了一些桌遊以及像是賓果遊戲之類的小卡，堪稱是在此消磨時間的最佳娛樂吧。(有先見之明的話下次要帶遊戲機) 這天回哥本哈根的班機是下午一點多，加上周邊也真的是荒蕪一片，沒有交通工具哪兒也去不了，所以基本上整個半天就是只能耗在青年旅館，或是在外頭拍拍照兼曬曬太陽。 從青年旅館一出來會看到一個掛有公車圖示的彩色小屋，就是我們要等公車的地方，司機先生依舊是第一天從機場載我們到Kangerlussuaq Youth Hostel的老爺爺，只是這次換了另一台比較新穎的小巴，不曉得這位爺爺有記得昨天有載過我們嗎? 到了Kangerlussuaq機場基本上又是一段漫長時間的等待，在這裡真的非常建議要來格陵蘭旅遊的人，行前可以多帶幾本書、或是帶個掌上遊戲機甚麼的都好，在等待的時候至少手邊有些娛樂可以消磨，不然也只能花點錢買wifi上網了。 這天飛往哥本哈根的旅客感覺不是很多，機艙內都沒坐滿，整片都是空空的位子(好擔心格陵蘭航空這樣是不是會賠錢)，回程的機上餐點是蕃茄通心管麵，吃完感嘆格陵蘭之行是真的要畫下句點了，如果口袋夠深真的很想再飛去更多的格陵蘭城鎮，也默默在心中許願希望在不久的將來還能再度造訪這個讓我留下深刻回憶的地方。
