It’s Friday Jr! 🥳 Time for a refreshing Lychee & Ginger Cooler! Made with fresh lychee, ginger, basil & lemon. If you want, top it off with some vodka for a boozy cocktail!

Tried some pan-fried pork buns for lunch. Crispy bottom & filled with juice. It was pretty damn good! Not as good as the ones I had in Hong Kong, but good enough.

Since the pandemic, I’ve been cooking many old recipes from my blog, & updating them with new pictures. This Creamed Corn with Pork & Rice is a classic Hong Kong dish that I love back then and now. Tender pork bites in a creamy corn sauce, then serve over rice. Sweet & savory! Perfect weeknight meal!

We FINALLY got out of our neighborhood for a walk

We FINALLY got out of our neighborhood for a walk today. It has been almost 4 months since shelter-in-place. Thought about going on hiking, but worried about the overcrowded parks & parkings. At the end, we decided to explore the Stanford campus. Some people here and there, not crowded at all. Beautiful campus with lots of trees & courtyards. It was hot, but so glad we went! 🌲

Need a last minute dessert for July 4th? 4 ingredients are all you need for this no bake dessert! Serradura (Sawdust Pudding) is originated from Portugal, but got popular in Macau. I had it many times when visiting Macau! Sweetened whipped cream layered with Marie cookie crumbs. Oh so creamy!

Let me present you Avocado Tos(tada)! Get it? 😏

It’s the Dragon Boat Festival. 🚣🏻‍♀️

It’s the Dragon Boat Festival. 🚣🏻‍♀️ Traditionally, Zongzi is what you eat. It’s a large dumpling that is made w/ sticky rice, filling & then wrapped in leaves. There’re many versions out there, but my favorite is the sweet one, Alkaline Dumpling. Sticky rice that has been mixed with lye water, then stuffed w/ sweet red bean paste. Lye water may sound weird, but it’s commonly used to make pretzel & some noodles for that brownish/yellowish color & bouncy texture. Alkaline dumpling is also yellow in color. When you eat it, you dip a little piece in the sugar. Tasty!

Last week, my mom mentioned that she had a really good alkaline dumpling over the phone. All the sudden, I’m craving for it! I haven’t thought about it or had one for 18 years! Just like that, I want it! Alkaline dumpling is not as popular as savory zongzi, so it’s not as easy to find. Luckily, I was able to get some (picture above). They tasted so so, not exactly like how I remember. Is it the dumpling? Or is it me? Has it been too long that I forgot what they should taste like? 🤨 Hmmm… I don’t know. At least, it stopped my craving. Maybe I need to make my own next year? 🤷🏻‍♀️
