Welcome to the NEW site!

April 10, 2014 By Lokness 10 Comments

Exciting news, you may have noticed my site looks different! Yes!!!! A new domain and design! It’s nice to have full control, and I wanted to have a cleaner and more organized layout. My favorite new feature has to be the new “Recipe” page. It’s a recipe index with pictures, making it so much easier for everyone to explore all the recipes.

The moving process wasn’t as easy as I had hoped. There were 3 and a half years of work that I wanted to make sure not to lose. There were lots of twists and turns… The WordPress transfer couldn’t completed successfully, a few things got lost, the theme I picked needed a few adjustments. Thank god Bryan knew a bit of html programming. Starring at all the code really started driving me crazy. Finally, I had to spend a few extra days cleaning up and adjusting all old pictures to fit the new theme. But I’m glad that it is over now, and everything has worked out great.

Once again, welcome to the new site! If there is any problem, please let me know.

    The new site looks wonderful! Good job for getting that done. I’m still using blogger and I wish I’d started with Word Press way back when. Now, I really can’t imagine going through all the change and I have no clue where to begin. I’m so glad you’ve done it though!

      Thank you so much, Monica! The whole thing felt very overwhelmed at the beginning. And even now, I still don’t understand everything. But I am very happy I did it. For a long run, hosting my own site is the way to go.

    Your new site looks great, Lokness! A photo recipe index is one of the main reasons I am thinking of switching to self hosting…..but the idea is so scary. Its scary that your work will get lost or the whole blog will go up into a cloud somewhere never to be retrieved. Its scary that once I am in charge, I won’t be able to figure the whole thing out. So I keep putting it off. At some point when I get the courage to make the switch, I will ask you for advice! Congrats on surviving!

      Thank you so much Wendy! Yes, a photo recipe index is much better! I am definitely loving the new look.

      I totally understand why you are worried. But sooner is always better than later. Since you are on wordpress.com, switching to wordpress.org is not too bad. In general, most things should transfer without a problem. I am more than happy to answer any questions. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

      If you are interested, the following page is very helpful. I followed the it to do my move:

    Congrats on the new site!
    I found your site not long ago, so didn’t know how it looks for the old one, but I LOVE the new design! Looks awesome!
    I was planning to hire a designer to redesign my site for quite a few months and I’m on the waiting list now. I have been tweaking my project plan too many times and I’m still not satisfied with it!
    Your recipe page looks great. It’s one of the most important reasons that I decided to spend more on the blog design.

      Thank you very much Maggie! Yea, recipe page is definitely a must when there are more and more recipes. I understand the frustration about having the perfect site. There are tons of things to think about and adjust. Hope your site will be ready soon. I am looking forward to seeing it!

Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂! Other than “ Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂! Other than “恭喜發財 Gong Hei Fat Choy” (wishing you wealth and prosperity), the other new year greeting that Bryan loves to say is “大吉大利 Dai Gut Dai Lei” (good luck and may things go smoothly).

In Chinese culture, mandarin oranges are often present during Lunar New Year. The pronunciation of the word “桔” (mandarin orange) sounds very similar to the word “吉” (luck), so mandarin orange is a fruit that brings in luck & prosperity. My grandma always have multiple plates full of mandarins in her house.

In this year of ox, I wish you all good health, good fortune, happiness & have a sweet year like these sweet mandarins! 🍊🐮🧧

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I ca Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I can never get enough. Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!
