Recently a co-worker was talking about making her own char siu bao’s, and how we should do a cook off between us. Never standing down from a fight, I said challenge accepted. Now lets be clear here — I’ve never made char siu bao before, but I have made mantou (steamed sweet bun) and bbq…

Juniper & Ivy vs Searsucker
This blog not only chronicles the food we cook at home, but it also will have some spotlights of restaurants that we’ve been to. Recently Jax and I travelled to San Diego for a week, and took the opportunity to hit up a couple restaurants whose executive chefs have been featured on Top Chef (and…
Asian-esque Cola Spareribs
I love ribs. All kinds of ribs. Short ribs. spare ribs. baby back ribs. side ribs. pork ribs. beef ribs. you name it, I love it. When I buy a pack of side ribs to throw on the Barbie, there’s always that end piece that doesn’t quite grill well. Being Asian, I can’t just throw…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Middle Cookies
I had made these cookies to bring into work for Christmas one year, because I was in a conversation with a colleague about loving peanut butter cookies. If Reece’s has taught us anything, it’s that peanut butter tastes even better with chocolate! Why not combine the two and make a cookie out of it? Ingredients…
Avocado Shake (Sinh To Bo imitation) [Vegan Option]
I love avocadoes. In sushi, in in guacamole, in sandwiches, plain … they are an awesome fruitegitable (I have no idea if its a fruit or veggie). One way that I REALLY love them is as a smoothie. Combining avocadoes and condensed milk together? I’M IN! This recipe is easily made vegan friendly (which I…
Jax’s Bday Cake
Late post tonight, because I spent the day moving couches, fixing fences, and watching an AWESOME (read: terrible) nerd larping movie. It will also be a short post from only a few months ago — from Jax’s birthday. Now, lets get one thing clear. I can make things taste delicious. What I cannot do is…
Cauliflower ‘Rice’
We are trying to limit our rice intake these days (which for a Chinese person is like asking a fish to live out of water), and Jax has a great way of doing this, while still psychologically making you feel like you had your starch for the meal! The solution? Chop of cauliflower super small…
Epic Hot dog
I’m going back to 2011 with this one! I was in the midst of my prime-epic-mealtime-wannabe phase, making my own epic meals. One of these absolutely awesome epic meals was a hot dog! Not just any hot dog as you are about to see. The first step is ground beef. Add an egg to bind…
Vodka Gummy Bears
Going a little off base here. While technically it is still food, I would call this closer to a drink. This is one of my favourite party snacks, with a little punch! First thing to do is separate your gummies by colour into separate vessels. Next, pick your poison. (Putting gummy worms in a tequila…
Trini Roti
Another old one today — This is Trinidadian style aloo roti! It’s not very special, but it’s a staple and tastes great. I’ll definitely do a new post after I get caught up with all of the old stuff, with a better write up for roti, but for now, you get this! This is the…
Smörgåstårta
Continuing the old stuff … I have a long time IRC friend, named ‘Chuck-Norris’ who always talked about having Smörgåstårta – Swedish Cake Sandwich. Traditionally (I’m told) this is served for special occasions, such as a birthday. Looking at the pix made me drool! This is something that is not sold, nor made here locally, so…
