Picked up some incredible BBQ (@smokequeenbbq )fro

Picked up some incredible BBQ (@smokequeenbbq )from a truck last night. This BBQ place was started by a Chinese-American mom during the start of the pandemic. No actual restaurant, but just selling online. It got very popular. And now, they’re selling at Smorgasburg LA or occasionally around town w/ pre-order.

This was our first order & it didn’t disappoint! One of the best BBQ we have had! Smokey, moist & tender. Some of the food were w/ an Asian twists, like char siu pork belly & Korean beef dino rib. The most surprising has to be the Malaysian curry laksa sausage. It really tasted like laksa in sausage form. The flavors were bold & clear! No doubt we would be getting more BBQ from this place in the future. We can’t wait for their new brick & mortar to open in Garden Grove later this year!

📍In Smorgasburg LA every Sunday (or occasionally around town for pre-order)
❣️We got a Sampler Platter: brisket, char siu pork belly, pulled pork, Malaysian curry laksa sausage, Korean beef dino rib, cajun corn, sesame coleslaw, truffle mac & cheese

So hard to believe 2021 is already coming to an end! Even though it’s another pandemic year, we were able to go on some short trips (San Diego, Santa Barbara & Joshua Tree) & met up with some good friends. It was very much needed & we felt refresh! For the blog, it has been a slower year. I’m hoping to pick back up in 2022. I want to say a big thank you to all of you for your love & support! ❤️

Before we head to 2022, here are the top 6 recipes on the blog in 2021. Citrus recipes seem to be taking off, like pound cake, mandarin curd, mandarin gin & tonic & blood orange sorbet. I’m not complaining at all. Citrus sure brightened up everything. Spam sandwich is a no surprise. I would eat that every week. And the panna cotta really is perfect for summer. Other than the top 6, I also pick my favorite recipe of this year! Swipe to the end to see which one it is! ➡️

Looking forward to a better 2022! Hope we can say goodbye to covid for real!

Happy New Year! Stay healthy & safe! 🥳😊

Happy Holidays! We didn’t get a tree this year, so we came by the tree at the city hall. Really hope this is the last Christmas we have to mask on! 🤞🏻🎄 In the meantime, stay safe & healthy!

Here is something a little different for a charcut

I received news from my parents that my grandma has passed away. She was 104 years old. My grandma had a big heart. She was always very kind to all of us & welcoming. She didn’t like to talk much. When Bryan & I last saw her, she held our hands as tight as she can and gave us the warmest smile. Thank you for all the love, grandma! We’ll miss you! 一路好走! 😢

When it comes to burgers in LA, The Apple Pan (@applepan) is the OG! No matter how many burgers we tried, we always come back here. That smokey & tangy hickory sauce is the key of this burger. Unique & flavorful. Not to forget the perfect cooked patty & super fresh lettuce. Everything together makes perfection. Don’t think about taking them home! You gotta eat them right there when meat is hot, cheese is melty, & lettuce is crisp.

You maybe feeling pretty full now, but you can’t miss the pies either! Their pie crust is very thin & crispy. Great contrast w/ the gooey filling. My go-to is banana cream, but apple is fabulous too! If you’re really too full, take a pie to-go. And eat it after a couple hours. You won’t regret it!
