RSS FeedWhenever we have dim sum for brekkie, hubster would not fail to order his favourite loh mai kai. Unless the shop has very good standards for loh mai kai, my constant peeve with them is that they tend to be overly greasy. I hate greasy loh mai kais. I get that they need a certain [...]

August 24th, 2011 Sharon One of my favourite food blogger and photographer is Ellie Hoeve, the genius behind Almost Bourdain. I salute her efforts to insert step-by-step photos of all her cooking and I aspire to be at that sort of level one day. She could make just about anything from scratch.
