There are many dishes you can make out of tomato, but have you ever tried a tomato corn pie?

The healthiest way to consume kiwi is eat them fresh, but if want to be fancy someday try a kiwi muffin

I happen to love pork skin and I always thought they're very bad for your health. Hmm, I have to do some research on this (not that I don't believe you)

British young man's vendor life in Beijing


Among numerous street vendors in Beijing, Jamie Bilbow is the one that makes distinctions. Attired in a green army overcoat and white rubber-soled sneakers which give a tinge of China in the 1970s, the 23-year-old Englishman hawks "pitta and hummus", an Arab snack, on a tricycle that he wheels along Hutongs at the heart of the capital city.

A fluent Chinese speaker, he even composed a rhyming jingle to promote his business to the locals. At the age of one, Jamie moved with his parents from England to Hong Kong, where he lived for almost 18 years and developed an interest in cooking and the Chinese culture.

So are you off to India for vacation or you are here?

Gonna be here only. Been to India during the summer.


The Newtown incident has brought in a sombre mood for many here. My wife and myself felt so gloomy that we have stopped watching news or talk about it and I have not been to facebook much in the past week or so as many of my friends post some personal experiences including my ex-boss who lived in that town for 20 years. But everyday there is something to remind me of that incident - I went to the local hospital yesterday and bought a coffee in the cafeteria and they said it is free and requested me to remember the victims. So sad bro.

So sad. Read about the incident on Reddit and could not control myself watering my eyes. ****.

火锅 Hot pots:

- hot pots are crazily popular in winters - long long waiting queues but literally they are served all year round everywhere in Greater China!

3 kinds of soup bases: Dark red - super hot and spicy, Red - moderate hot and spicy and plain meat/fish stock

This kind of hot pots are usually served in Sichuan restaurants / street food stalls

The Sichuan chili soup base has a biting and numbing hotness that could be unbearable for first timers. I cant get used to the hotness but most of my friends are addicted to it and their "tolerance" escalates over time!

This is the look of a traditional hot pot which is a metal pot with a hollow "chimney" in the middle for ventilation. Also in display are some the most popular raw foods that are being boiled in the hot soup bubbling in the pot

Another important ingredient which complement a perfect hot pot meal is the dipping sauces which help to dictate the taste of the food alongside the soup bases:
