One of my fondest memories in Taiwan was having Dan Bing for breakfast each morning. Dan Bing 蛋餅 is a Taiwanese egg roll crepe, it is usually sold by street vendors each morning. It was so fascinating watching the street vendors prepare this simple yet delicious dish so quickly! I was in awe and had to try to recreate it when I came back home. Dan Bing is pretty much a savoury crepe with a thin scrambled egg on top that is filled with various toppings such as cheese, bacon, cilantro, pork floss, corn, scallion, or ham! It is then rolled up and drizzled with some delicious soy paste or…

Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese Savoury Sizzling Crepe)
Bánh Xèo, pronounced “ban-say-oh” is definitely one of my favourite Vietnamese dishes! It is a crispy savoury crepe made of turmeric, flour, coconut cream, rice flour, salt, and water. It is then stuffed with ingredients such as: shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, onions, scallion, and mung beans! The name refers to the sound the batter makes when it’s poured into the hot skillet! Bánh Xèo literally means “sizzling cake”. You typically serve this dish with lettuce, mint leaves, basil leaves, cilantro and dip it in the Vietnamese dipping sauce (Nước chấm). This dish is so unique and has such an amazing flavour profile, if you’ve never tried it before I’m sure you…

Delicious Blackberry Galette
Galettes have become my new found favourite baked good to make! They are super easy to make and they always taste delicious- I mean sweetened fruit under a buttery flakey crust? What’s not to love! What is a Galette? A galette is basically an open-faced pie or an easier version of a pie (in my opinion). There’s no need to create a lattice or make a 2nd crust- it also basically tastes the exact same as a pie! I use my all time favourite pie dough recipe found below as a base and then I fill it with whatever fresh fruits I have at home. Typically either peaches, apples, or…

Chinese Beef Brisket | Instant Pot
Whenever I visit Hong Kong style cafes, I will always order this dish with “ho fan” noodles. This dish incorporates the most amazing flavours from the savoury beef to the incredible crunch of the daikon and carrot. All tied in together with the most amazing aroma of star anise, Chinese five spice, and lemongrass. Traditional Cantonese beef brisket has no lemongrass, but recently I tried this and I absolutely LOVED it! If you want to stick to the traditional route, you are more than welcome to take this out. This dish still tastes delicious without it. You can then pair this dish with either noodles or a nice bowl of…
