This is a sesame sweet thing that I expected would be filled with something. As you can see I was wrong. It is all 100% delicious sesame seeds glued together with sweet goo. It came from a Beijing sweet store as did just about everything else I have written about this week. Guess whose wife […]
I found this little gem at a local grocery store last week. Chinese honey, herbal jelly. I expected it to be a desert, but it was actually a drink. Brown liquid that tasted like brown sugar and clumps of jelly that were impossible to get out of the can.
I am guessing that it is supposed […]
I have been given this bottle of plonk from China with the description that it is Chinese Sake. It doesn’t taste or smell like sake as I know it. It’s alcohol content is 38% and it is as clear as can be. It came in a beautiful box of startling red and gold and it […]
Aren’t these the cutest? I couldn’t resist. They’re the perfect little treats for not-so-perfect little girls who love hopia. Found them locally, imported from Eng Bee Tin Philippines.
I promised my 5-yo we’ll make this soon. Mooncake season is practically here — time to get out that recipe!
Mooncake molds available at the […]
The new Uncle Yip’s location on Reading Road in Evendale is now open. This was their old place from a few years back, but now they’re occupying the adjacent space as well, doubling the dining area.

Japanese supermarkets are loaded with easy cooking meals. There always seems to be at least half an aisle of boxes and sachets of mysterious looking mixes, which obviously form the base of a dinner. Most of these packets are a complete mystery to me. I can’t work out what is in the box, what I […]
This is a continuation of Part 1, where I showed you how to make dumpling wrappers using a pasta machine. The technique shown in this post is more rustic, but works just as well.
Mix dough ingredients in a bowl or food processor. Flour a platter or line with wax paper. Knead dough lightly on […]
I was recently looking through the archives and found that one of my posts got cut off while migrating over from About Weblogs. Since I was making jiaozi the other day, I thought I’d repost the whole article here, including updated pictures, to show you two different ways of making the dumpling wrapper.
This recipe […]
Last weekend I drove past a building site near my home and it wasn’t until after I was well past it that I realised that it used to be a Ramen shop and a block of apartments. Now this sort of thing happens all of the time in Japan. Build it… demolish it… build it […]
