I have always loved Ikea’s Swedish meatballs since the very first time I’ve tasted them at their Beijing branch ages ago.  It was so addicting every time we visited the furniture shop we couldn’t leave without having these.  In fact … Continue reading Swedish Meatballs
I’ve always loved melt-in-your-mouth braised pork belly and this one here might remind you the flavors of beef pares and patatim. No doubt yum served with steamed rice and vegetable spring rolls. “It’s so shiny and beautiful!”, my son’s exact … Continue reading Chinese-Style Braised Pork Belly
