The Char Koay Teow stall along Siam Road, Penang has gotta be one of the best in town. And a good thing about it is you won’t be charged exorbitantly for a plate of Char Koay Teow – something that is supposed to be cheap and affordable but is fast becoming a gourmet priced food

Lon’s grandma Rose loves Chinese food. Her favorite course is soup and her most favorite Chinese soup is Egg Drop Soup. Her doctors want her to lay off the sodium so Lon’s family hasn’t been taking her to the Chinese restaurants she used to frequent; and of course, that made her sad — I think we can all relate to being told not to eat something.

Its uniquely carved displays on the windows are the best in the city. Shoppers passing by the store often stop in front of the building’s clock which chimes every hour and again at every 15 minutes, and just then the faces of Fortnum and Mason …

4th July Spicy Honey Garlic Teriyaki BBQ Chicken A few years ago my friend Noel and I started a crazy tradition. It actually started out of pure laziness (as would many traditions I would venture to guess). We wanted to BBQ and grill on the 4th of July but we couldn’t motivate to get the equipment, let alone fight out millions of NYers for the few sacred grilling spots available in the park.

Acquamara has arrived in London, in an exclusive deal with the famous J Sheekey Oyster Bar in Covent Garden. Richard Kirkwood, head chef at J Sheekey, decided to introduce it into the Oyster Bar menu first,and Acquamara founder Andy Inglis was lucky enough to be there, sitting at the bar, watching (and smelling) mussels being cooked in his product, Hebridean seawater, wondering how it was simultaneoulsy possible to feel that he coudn’t have been further away from Berneray, and to feel so close… Sheekey’s is, he decided, the natural home for Acquamara: full of worldly and cosmopolitan people who know and appreciate their food

Yesterday was a sultry, sweaty, soggy day in Boston. Instead of thinking about hiding in an air conditioned room, I found my mind wandering to December, when Joel and I spent a week of tropical bliss in Antigua, eating, swimming, petting baby donkeys*, ziplining through the canopy, and counting lizards.

As a working mother, its hard to find the right balance between spending time with your baby and excelling at work! More often than not, it is the latter that suffers, not because you lack ambition, but simply because maternal instincts are so strong they kind of presume priority over everything else:) And though life is full of compromises, it is upto you on how much and in what way you compromise. One thing I try to stick to is feeding home-cooked food to my baby

As part of efforts to support local and sustainable agriculture, employees of Blue Duck Tavern braved the heat yesterday to plant grapevines and tropical flowers in our outdoor garden. Each summer, the team and I plant a garden, bordering the terrace, with flowers, herbs and vegetables – including a Three Sisters Garden with corn and beans. We actively engage with our landscaping, both aesthetically pleasing as well as edible.

This kitchen process is taking a lot longer than expected and we haven’t even started demolition yet! Luckily, I go to my mom’s once a week to get her Chinese recipes, but when I’m home, I’m still using only plug-in appliances (rice cooker, toaster oven, panini press, waffle maker, microwave, etc.) I didn’t foresee having to keep this up for so long but the challenge has been fun.

Sweat in restaurant kitchens is a very sticky subject. It is hardly appealing to see a chef dripping with seat especially when preparing food. Worse, it is less appetizing when a server sweats tableside.

The slow movement is very popular in London now. The concept at Terroirs embraces this and reflects Parisian natural wine bars with their emphasis on superb, rarely-seen wines, informal yet informed service, and excellent, hearty food. The charcuterie, cheeses and small plates or tapas make us look forward to a visit but we have to admit we are most looking forward to the desserts: Sicilian lemon posset, Agen prune and armagnac tart and crepes & salted butter caramel have almost become fixtures on the menu.
