And as its been pouring down here since quite a few days, we got a chance to enjoy some lazy yet delicious food that can help you lift the gloom!

It was the haggis dim sum that was the hook, at least for me. There’s nothing like a bizarre or ill-conceived food fusion to make a hilarious evening and a post that writes itself – in fact for many weeks after I learned of the hideous ‘Brazilian/Sushi’ mashup that is Sushinho I was desperate to go and see if it really was as bad as everyone said , even if it meant paying through the nose for it.

One of the most interesting and challenging part of cooking is experimenting with flavors and spices, just like the blend of flavors in this Vietnamese-style recipe for Sweet and Sour Potatoes with Mangoes! It was an effort to replicate what we enjoyed at our local Tofu House restaurant. The blend of spices with soy sauce, thai chillies, red pepper, semi-ripe mango and rice vinegar resulted into a winning sauce base for the baby potatoes to be simmered in.
