Happy leap year! February 29th! Last night, I was craving cake. And I had all the ingredients in the fridge, mostly. So it was the perfect time to try to make a lemon loaf for the first time.  This recipe from Broma Bakery was very easy to prepare and make, and I skipped the glaze because 1- the cake was sweet enough on it's own for me and 2- I didn't have any powdered sugar on hand.  This recipe was SO GOOD. We ate almost the entire loaf the first day, though it came out flatter than I expected (maybe because it needed that extra 1/4 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of sugar. lol). (Ca ..read more

Happy new year everyone!  I’m always trying to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe (and oatmeal chocolate chip) that’s not a fussy recipe and is tasty. I scribble recipes into a notebook and trying to start marking when I remake the recipe and notes. This one had a bunch of hearts from last time and it may be my cutest batch yet. The cookie didn’t seem to flatten much with softened (not melted) butter but were easy to take off the pan after short cooling.  EASIEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE  Credit to I heart eating blog  1/2 cup butter 1/2 ..read more

My kitchen: ONE BOWL BANANA BREAD WITH YOGURT

Another day, another banana bread recipe. Today’s hit was from Sally’s baking addiction and called my favorite banana bread with 4.8 stars and 1200 plus votes. I picked it because I wanted something more moist and had some yogurt on hand (and a lot of browned bananas) and the recipe was a hit! It’s moist, not too dense, nice crust and I added chocolate chips and (and nuts to half of it) and used a square cake pan instead of a loaf pan which reduces the baking time by 20-30 min.  Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour (leveled) 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon  ..read more

Wow! This year, Michelin decided award two new restaurants with 3 Michelin Stars, changing the predictable result of Le Palais being the only one in Taiwan holding 3 stars since 2018.  The first restaurant the Michelin Guide honored with new 3 stars was JL STUDIO in Taichung, and Michelin mentioned it’s the first time Singaporean cuisine + chef has gotten THREE STARS!! Huge huge congrats for Chef Jimmy Lim, who looked visibly shook (not shiok, haha) and taking in the moment, and the JL family!  The second milestone of the day was chef Kai Ho receiving his first shiny TH ..read more

I spotted some friends posting from the Michelin Awards in Taipei, so I hopped onto Facebook to watch the livestream and screencap some highlights for you guys!  The Michelin Guide now has four cities in Taiwan in their guide- adding Tainan and Kaohsiung for the first time this year to Taipei and Taichung.  Michelin awarded 38 restaurants with stars for 2022, along with Michelin Green Stars, Bib Gourmand and Michelin selected restaurants (which confuses me a little bit- it's not a star, but I guess like an honorary mention. I'm not sure if the previous Plate category is still ..read more

Lemon kale bean soup just sounded so good and perfect for winter, and of course, halfbakedharvest takes the best photos, so I had to try this recipe. (I wish my kitchen had the window light that hers does, but sadly no windows in my kitchen).  LEMON KALE ORZO SOUP ▢ 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil ▢ 1 shallot, chopped (x)  ▢ 4-6 cloves garlic, smashed ▢ red pepper flakes (x) ▢ 2 tablespoons salted butter ▢ 2 cups dry orzo pasta (i used fagoli, 1 cup next time, soaks too much liquid)  ▢ 6 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth ▢ 1 can white beans  ▢ kosher salt ..read more

Takeout/taiwanese: i recommend SHIN YEH x INLINE

hi guys! As you may know, Covid has been peaking in Taiwan and numbers are at a record high and for the first time, I have a number of friends who have caught (and recovered from) Covid. Since everyone is being more cautious and while things are not shut down (like this time last year), I have been definitely eating more at home, cooking and ordering in. So when Inline reached out and asked if I wanted to check out their service, I looked at the list of restaurants and I said YES. I realized that it had been far too long since I had my favorite dishes from Shin Yeh since it's usually a place ..read more

The pandemic had everyone making bread at home, me included. For the first time, I made quick foccacia, no knead peasant bread, salted honey butter parker rolls, easy yogurt flatbread, honey beer bread, easy pretzels and of course, a lot of banana bread (not really a bread, but you know what I mean). Wow, okay seeing that, that's a lot of bread, but it's also been a loooong two years. It's evidence that  I love bread and all kinds of bread. But it wasn't until I got the invitation by a friend to try EatMI that I had heard of bread made from rice.  Like everyone else, I’v ..read more
