I had Arroz con Marisco at LV Mar several weeks ago. I love the dish so much that I made a special effort to recreate it in my kitchen. This copy-cat recipe wouldn’t be complete without the sweet plantains. These crispy and sweet plantains complements the flavors of the seafood and black rice perfectly. Choose plantains that are very ripe, Read More

New take on old recipe. Coronavirus shelter-in-place forces everyone to be creative and make do with whatever we have. This is my popiah recipe transformed: popiah skin replaced with tortilla skin, bean sprouts and cucumber replaced with shredded cabbage. Looks like street taco, tastes like good old popiah otherwise.

This is probably my first post of a Mexican dish, but Read More

I had to try to make it at home and decided to make EK a birthday Nacho Pizzette instead of a birthday cake. This is my version of Nacho Supreme loaded with Italian sausage, tomatoes, Read More

This is one of Ashley’s favorite, she asks me to make it every so often on weekends. The mango salsa adds a fruity touch to the dish. It is a one-pan recipe. Thumbs up from the one who needs to wash dishes after the meal; only one-pan to wash :). I like it too because it is colorful and tasty! Prep Read More
