I made these the other night for the ASA potluck dinner :) A friend asked me for the recipe, so I thought I'd also type it up for here! This is kind of similar in style to the mango salad with it's fresh flavours! Great for cleansing your palette and also as a light and healthy dish ^_^

I tried these for the first time last week as a dish for Indian-themed lunch, and decided they were pretty good. Made them again with a bit more tweaking. Healthy and vegetarian!

Haven't posted on of these for a long time, haha!

Okay, so it was my cousin's birthday and he was having a little picnic bash at the park. My brother told me to make a side dish. I didn't know it was a picnic actually, or I probably would have made something a little more finger-friendly. As it was, my mango salad disappeared quite nicely by the ( Read more... )

One of my favourite dishes and favourite Thai soup, tom kha gai is savoury, sour, and spicy. When people think of Thai soups they usually think of the much celebrated tom yum goong - also delicious, but I like tom kha better. Tom kha is slightly milder and more subtle than tom yum's bright and dazzling flavour and colour. Unlike tom yum, which is ( Read more... )

Who doesn't love ice cream? Even people who are lactose-intolerant tend to make exceptions for the wonderful confection that is all melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Buying it from the store or any good creamery is always refreshing, but I tried making it myself once and the end result was sinfully rich, creamy, and yummy-licious! Being me, I couldn't ( Read more... )

Finger foods - who doesn't love them? Easy to make and fast to disappear! Great for serving as appetizers when you've got friends over, or even can become light meals! Anyways, I love the Vietnamese salad rolls - they are light and tasty and easy to make!

Thai food! It's going to be popping up a bunch. My mom grew up in Thailand, and I spent 5 years there when I was young. Sadly, I'm not as proficient as I once was at speaking Thai, but I still can get around. Luckily, my love for Thai food has not been hindered in any way - it's probably grown, actually. Thai food is all about expressing and ( Read more... )
