2016 Top 6 Recipes

December 31, 2016 By Lokness 1 Comment

Right before the new year, let’s do a count down of our favorite 6 recipes of 2016! 

It’s that time of the year again! Hope you had a pretty good 2016. If 2016 hasn’t been too nice to you, you have a brand new year ahead of you. 😉

This year, the blog got a major update. It got a new host (from Bluehost to DreamHost) and it got a new theme. It took a little work, but the transition went well. I am happy that the blog looks more clean and more mobile friendly.

Foodwise, it has been a creative year. I have been inspired and developed many good recipes that I am proud of. My personal favorite is Lychee-Ginger Granita. I’m hoping to continue and bring your more awesome recipes in this coming year.

Thank you very much for following along and your sweet supports. Wish you good health and happiness in 2017! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Meanwhile, let’s take a look back at our 6 favorite recipes in 2016!

6. Roasted Banana Souffles – This is no doubt one of my favorite desserts! Light and airy with an intense banana flavors. Perfect for a date night!

5. Coffee Glazed Baked Chocolate Chip Donuts – I was just thinking about these mini baked donuts a couple days ago. Moist & easy to make. Who wouldn’t love the combo of coffee and chocolate?

4. Vietnamese Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Thighs – Nicely charred, fragrant, juicy & flavorful. This chicken thigh will leave you begging for more. Don’t forget to serve with the sweet and sour pickled vegetables. Perfectly balanced!

3. Steak Tacos – An easy taco dish. Nothing fancy. Quick and delicious!

2. Hong Kong Soy Sauce Pan-Fried Noodles – A classic Hong Kong street food dish. Thin egg noodles stir-fried in a sweet and savory soy sauce mixture. Bring me back all the memories from the old times!

1. Curry-Roasted Brussels Sprouts – Surprise, but not too surprise! Roasted Brussels sprouts were tossed with aromatic curry powder and then served with sweet dried cranberries. Definitely one of the best vegetable dishes ever!

    Oh my gawd…all these recipes make me drool especially that HK pan-fried noodles. It’s one of my faves too! Now should I start with donuts or banana souffle tomorrow?

Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast. 🥑🍞 When we picked avo Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast. 🥑🍞 When we picked avocados straight from my mother-in-law’s tree and my brother-in-law showed up with a homemade sourdough loaf, avocado toast was the only answer. 

This toast features perfectly charred sourdough piled high with creamy avocado, savory smoked salmon, & a drizzle of aromatic lemon olive oil that ties every bite together. For an extra special touch, add a poached egg & some micro arugula!

Anyone else remember Curry House in LA? I’m still Anyone else remember Curry House in LA? I’m still sad it closed during the COVID era. It used to be one of my favorite comfort food spots. This Ground Chicken and Tofu Curry is my take on their version. I used to order it all the time. It’s comforting without feeling too heavy, w/ savory ground chicken, silky tofu, & rich Japanese curry. My favorite part is the garlic spinach rice. It adds so much flavor & really brings the whole dish together. If you’re looking for a satisfying weeknight meal, definitely give this one a try! 🍛

Visited Oahu in late February. Hawaii is always be Visited Oahu in late February. Hawaii is always beautiful, especially the mountains and beaches. We even saw rainbows 3 times. We love the laid-back island vibe, and the locals are incredibly friendly. During our trip we went on an early morning hike, saw pineapple fields, took on a tour to see the Kualoa mountains, and ate lots of local specialties. 

We didn’t have time to see everything, so we’re definitely looking forward to coming back! 

1. Jungle Expedition Tour (@kualoaranch). It was pouring and cold for the 1st half of the tour, but it was still a lot of fun! I’ll bring a rain poncho next time just in case. 
2. Shave ice w/ housemade syrup (strawberry milk, guava & kyoho grape). So refreshing & delicious! (@chillestshaveice) 
3. View of the Kualoa Mountains
4. Malasadas. We love the original & cinnamon (non-filled). Light, fluffy w/ a slightly chewy exterior. They totally live up to the hype! (@leonardsbakeryhawaii)
5. Rainbow spotted from our hotel hallway (@princewaikiki)
6. Huli Huli chicken (Hawaiian grilled chicken) on the grill. Tender & tasty. (@yummyhuli)
7. Sunset view from our room (@princewaikiki)
8. Poke bowl w/ onion ahi & furikake salmon. YUM! (@taniokas)

Molten Chocolate Cakes w/ Raspberry Filling. An up Molten Chocolate Cakes w/ Raspberry Filling. An updated version of this dessert from 2013, but just as delicious as ever. It’s a classic w/ a twist: rich & chocolatey cake w/ a tart raspberry center. Not overly sweet. You can even make it a few hours ahead, then bake after dinner.

Wishing you a sweet Valentine’s Day filled with love, whether that’s shared with someone special or enjoyed as a little extra self-care. 💕

Started off the year babysitting my sister’s dog, Started off the year babysitting my sister’s dog, Truffle. This little cutie is sweet, clingy, and so well-behaved. Even though it rained a lot, we still squeezed in short walks and quick lunch outings together.

He loves crunchy veggies like carrots and Napa cabbage. He is so smart when it comes to snuffle activities. We hid treats in a rolled-up towel and tied it into a knot. He untied and unrolled it in no time! 

Such a fun (and cuddly) way to kick off the year.
2025 is coming to an end! This year has been espec 2025 is coming to an end! This year has been especially full of family time for me. We were lucky to spend so much time with my parents, my mother-in-law, my sister, & my brother-in-law, and I’m truly grateful for all those moments.
