Bubblewrap VS Hatch | Battle of The Eggettes

February 21, 2018

I love eggettes. 

When eggettes exploded all across London, my belly also exploded with delight. These awesome street food treasures from Hong Kong have finally found fame on the this side of the pond and as far as I could tell, everyone on social media were raving about them. And rightly so.

‘Ah Por Tofu-Fa' Tofu Pudding | Hong Kong

February 13, 2018

It’s hard to find a decent tofu-fa that is silky smooth, melts on your tongue with a rich soya taste. This is how my mum used to make it and I really do miss it. Too often, I've had tofu-fa that is either rough in texture, or the soya bean taste is too weak, like it’s been watered down, or they’ve used gelatine instead of coagulant and it tastes more like a jelly than a soft pudding.

Chinese Tomato Pork Mince with Veg

February 06, 2018

This Chinese tomato pork mince with veg on udon was cooked by G. Not me, but G.

G rarely cooks and on the occasions that he does, it's usually because I'm away from home and he has to fend for himself. It's not like he can't cook though because he's made decent meals before, like an impressive cheat's katsu curry (using ready made breadcrumbed turkey and Japanese curry blocks) and a less impressive pasta with pesto, tuna and broccoli.

14 Different Soya Products and How To Use Them

January 30, 2018


When I was growing up, my mum learnt how to make soya milk, tofu and tofu fa (a sweet tofu pudding) from a friend. To get better at it, she made a massive batch once a week and whilst most of it was given to friends, my siblings and I were forced to eat and drink the rest. I say forced, because it got very boring week after week, yet my mum wouldn’t give up her new hobby.

12 Different Soya Sauces and How To Use Them

January 23, 2018

Soya sauce. I had always been familiar with two: Chinese light soya sauce and Chinese dark soya sauce. Occasionally at dim sum, or eating at a Chinese restaurant, I would get to eat a delicious sweet soya sauce, usually added to roast meats and cheung fun (steamed rice rolls). I remember my dad explaining to me as a child, that it was made by cooking dark soya with water and adding sugar.

The Best Chicken Wings In The World | Tebasaki Wings!

January 16, 2018

I first blogged about these amazing Japanese style chicken wings back in 2014, but they are so exceptionally tasty I couldn't have it sitting in the archives and forgotten about. I made it twice last year for friends and each time they were polished off very quickly!

Homeware Haul + Update From TK Maxx/Homesense

January 09, 2018

These days I would rather spend all my money on pretty homeware than to spend it on clothes. I have always loved homeware but my obsession definitely got worst once we bought our own home.

Bombay-Breakfast-At-Dishoom
I am a late one to the game having only just managed to try breakfast at Dishoom earlier this year. In fact, it was so unbelievably delicious that I've already been back a second time.
