Ah the green bean...why so many people cringe at the idea of having to eat this delectable vegetable either ate them out of a jar or cooked until mush while growing up. This vegan dish boasts a tremendously savoury flavour thanks to a preserved vegetable called olive v...

Experience Cooking in Hong Kong as a Local

Hong Kong July 30th 2017 - After only one year, Local Cooking Experience Hong Kong has already become one of the best reviewed Cooking Class on TripAdvisor. Passionate about cooking since a very young age,...

Believe it or not, potatoes have gone way beyond from just being mashed or french fried. They can be very tasty while cooking Asian style too! All you need is some inspiration. This time, I'm introducing two dishes that are quick, tasty and very economical.

If beef is y...

Chinese lettuce is very similar to iceberg lettuce yet so much more functional in my opinion just because there is so little room for breakage and tearing of each leaf when washing. Lettuce is superb for wraps and salad but it is not a leaf to fry, right? Wrong :)! Whe...

Chinese pumpkin can be found in supermarkets all over Hong Kong as well as cut up into meal-sized chunks for sale at your local wet market. They are smooth, long and gourd-shaped compared to their short, fat and stout western version. They are also affordable and oh so...

​Hairy melon or hairy gourd (pronounced 'jeet gwa or mo gwa' in Cantonese...let that name sink in a little. It is the brother to the Chinese winter-melon and is eaten in its immature stage. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this melon has a coolin...
