Black beans I’m familiar with, but black soybeans? They’re quite large in size and the girl told me it tasted better than the regular soybeans. I was already picturing an organic black tempeh in my mind. Sounds mouth-watering. I can’t wait to make these babies into tempeh
It was Friday morning when I jumped in the car with my photo gear, despite the gloomy and chilly weather, that I decided I had to see this market for myself. I’ve seen the reviews in various guides, seen the photos of charcoal grilled lamb kebabs, flat breads and spicy lamb soup sold by vendors over there…….
Vibrant deep yellow color of the laksa broth dashed with bright red chili patches, half immersed swirl of egg noodle and plump juicy prawns firm to the bite sends you to a street food hawker somewhere in Malaysia or Singapore. A bowl of perfection. We were like foodies in a food heaven……
I’m such a sucker for anything chocolate. Especially when they are melted inside a gooey moist chocolate cake topped with creamy buttery dark chocolate icing. The down side about chocolate cravings, it will never stop after one bake.
Basically the idea is replacing the hard shell taco with spring roll wrapper. Then it is up to you to go the healthier way by oven cook them or cooking it the original way, deep frying them which probably add a few hundreds more extra calories with the same end result.

A non-sweet muffin recipe, one of those recipes which is very typically New Zealand that I’ve been meaning to reinvent. Last trial on savory muffin was quite a while ago where I tried baking bacon and wild spring onions – freshly picked from the grassland of Inner Mongolia.

Herb Khoresh is a particular dish that I find so uniquely middle eastern. For a start, I love the idea of mixed fragrant herbs as a dish. Put them together in a dish and add beef/chicken/lamb for the extra kick.
