Happy New Year! May the coming year bring us joy and peace.

Now, let’s take a look back to our 2020 Top 6 Recipes!

BONUS – My Favorite Recipe of the Year:

Seafood Chowder – This chowder is loaded with shrimps, cod, scallops & clams. It’s creamy, hearty & comforting. It reminded me the days at the pier with a bowl of good chowder.

      Thank you so much Matt! Although many of these recipes are not Hong Kongese food, many of them are Asian fusion. Let me if you try the recipes. Stay safe & healthy! Have a wonderful week! ?

Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple pickin Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple picking soon, but before that, let’s bake this Fresh Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It’s moist, perfectly sweet (but not too much!), & packed w/ fresh apples. Honestly, it doesn’t get more fall than this rustic, cozy dessert! 

Btw, still obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters! It was so touching seeing the interview & performance of Huntr/x on Jimmy Fallon.💜

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. 🎃🍂

S’mores Crispy Rice Cereal Treats. A fun twist o S’mores Crispy Rice Cereal Treats. A fun twist on the classic. Easy, no-bake, & guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser! My favorite part? Toasting the marshmallows w/ a kitchen torch for that perfectly charred, smoky flavor.🤎 These Rice Krispies treats make the best party snacks or a sweet little afternoon pick-me-up!

Peach and Cream Crumble Popsicles.🍑 Obsessed is Peach and Cream Crumble Popsicles.🍑 Obsessed is an understatement! Tangy homemade peach jam, smooth cream, & a crunchy crumble topping. Every bite is sweet, tangy, creamy, & crisp all at once. Fun to make, even better to eat!

Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now open Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.😅

If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it’s this one, Burrata Salad w/ Marinated Tomato & Thai Basil. Creamy, bright flavors & no cook. I love how well the savory Thai basil pair w/ sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh cucumbers & creamy burrata. Amazing!

Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Ita Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Italian style shaved ice made w/ fresh cherries, & paired w/ a creamy mascarpone topping. It’s sweet, little tart, refreshing & creamy all at once! No shaved ice machine is needed. All you have to do is to scrape the fruit liquid with a fork every once a while. That’ll prevent the liquid turning into a giant black of ice. You’ll get these flavorful tiny ice flakes at the end. 🍒🧊🍧

Favorite Breakfast Burritos. This is my copycat ve Favorite Breakfast Burritos. This is my copycat version of The Rooster’s Rico Suave burrito. Jammy fried eggs, crispy tater tots, smoky bacon, creamy avocado, melty cheddar & salty cotija cheese. And don’t forget the sauces, salsa de molcajete & cilantro crema. It’s hearty, filling & comforting! Yes, this is no doubt our favorite burrito!
