Delicious Chicken Pot Pie
Since moving to Hong Kong, I’ve had trouble finding pre-made pie crust in the grocery stores. Though I’ve made pie crust from scratch before, I’m not above using store-bought crust. The thing about Hong Kong grocery stores is they are so small that their stock is usually unpredictable. I finally found Pillsbury pie crust this … Read more
Linguine with Pancetta Mushroom Cream Sauce
My husband and I love to cook, but after spending more than a year cooking out of a cramped kitchen in Hong Kong, we’re in need of some inspiration. I can’t put into words how much I miss the stand mixer, blenders (we have two!), food processor, crock pot and kitchen island we packed into … Read more
Trip to Bali: Rice paddies, coffee and food for the soul
*Note: Most of the photos in this post were taken by my talented and loving husband, Guillaume.* Last January, I booked a quick getaway to Bali as my “birthday trip.” The time finally came when I boarded the plane for our Balinese getaway with loads of insect repellant, sunglasses and sundresses in tow. I was … Read more
Delicious Sour Cream Coffee Cake
My husband and I LOVE coffee cake. When I was in college, I came across a great recipe from Stonewall Kitchen for blueberry sour cream coffee cake. At the time, I didn’t have blueberry jam, so I decided to make a few changes to make this recipe my own. The original recipe is for a … Read more

Eating My Way Through Japan
Visiting Japan during the cherry blossom season has long been an ambition of mine. However, only now that I live in Asia, did it actually seem feasible. When I noticed last September that we had back-to-back holidays (Ching Ming and Easter) resulting in four straight days off of work AND coinciding perfectly with cherry blossom … Read more
Brunch Club Hong Kong
I finally got around to trying Brunch Club (which also doubles as Supper Club) on Peel Street in Hong Kong. I’ve met to go there for ages given they allow dogs outside. Of course, I ended up going on a cold day, so sitting outside was a little bit chilly. Whenever I go for brunch, … Read more
Twist on a Can of Chili
You don’t see much chili here in Hong Kong, but it’s a dish that I adore. Now that the weather is cooling down, I’ve unpacked my scarves and sweaters and prepared my palette for hot, delicious comfort food. Last weekend, my husband and I finally checked out Gateway, paradise for the American expat looking for … Read more
Thanksgiving in Hong Kong
Thanksgiving in Hong Kong will never be the same as gathering around a table with family and friends back home. This year, my husband and I may have been thousands of miles from home, but we were able to enjoy quite the delicious Thanksgiving feast with friends. Thanks to 3 Star Backer, we gathered at … Read more
Creamed Corn Casserole
Of course Thanksgiving won’t be the same this year with my husband and I living in Hong Kong, thousands of miles away from our family and old friends. Nonetheless, we are going to an expat Thanksgiving potluck, which will have a jerk turkey! There are so many dishes that come to mind when I think … Read more
