For the longest time ever, beehoon soup or vermicelli soup is one of The Food Critic’s favourite food. He eats it when he has the flu. He eats it when he is overworked. He eats it whenever he is in need of some warm comforting food. Now, I’m not much of a fan but over time (after ten years of having to eat this meal with him), I acquired some taste for it. As long as I have some chili padi to go with it, I’m fine.
Having a steamboat meal for the Chinese New Year reunion dinner has been one of the age-old traditions in most Chinese families. As far as I know, each and every one of our reunion dinner involved a lavish steamboat dinner complete with loads of fishballs, chicken, fish and seafood.
So, this year, it is no different in my house where we coordinated a lavish seafood steamboat dinner good enough to choke our arteries and have a steamy time. Heheh. Team the steamy steamboat with our hot and humid weather, we have our regular steam bath right in my living . . . → Read More: The traditional Chinese New Year Reunion Steamboat Dinner

I have always been inspired by Jessie’s (The Hungry Mouse) ribs of the week, any ribs she made always seemed just SO good. Much as I love ribs, we seldom have those at home. Mainly because we aren’t really major pork eaters and we don’t eat beef. Still, sometimes, thanks to Jessie’s wonderful recipes, I’d get a craving for some delectable ribs to chew on.
One day, I had this crazy craving (and no, I am not pregnant) for ribs so on the way back, I bought about 1kg of pork ribs to prepare for dinner. This is despite . . . → Read More: Three-step blueberry pork ribs

For the longest time, I have always, always loved a type of rich, thick chocolate truffles I know as chocolate rum ball. I used to buy it from a bakery near my home when I was younger and then later, the bakery closed down. Over the years, I would search bakery after bakery for my favourite chocolate rum ball but I’d never get to find any that’s as good as the ones sold by the bakery I used to frequent as a child.
