IMG_5244

Hi everyone,

Today’s post is all about one of my favorite French dishes, Steamed Mussels. It’s called “Moules Frites” in French, which means Mussels and French Fries, and since I first tried it out, honestly I became pretty addicted. Mussels are served with different kinds of sauce, in my favorite restaurant in Lyon, there’re about 6-7 (curry, Provencal, mustard…), Read More

Baked Salmon with Sesame Sauce

Sesame salmon 1You all may already know that I’m not really a big fan of seafood. I’m kinda lazy when it comes to eating seafood and I feel totally okay eating other kinds of meat over and over again. Yes, that isn’t good for my health and isn’t nutritious, so I always try my best to add seafood into my daily meals. Read More

Shrimps in Basic Tomato Sauce

Shrimp 1I always love dishes with much sauce, especially when it comes to seafood which can give you extra flavorful sauce and a lovely aroma when they’re still hot (well, minus the part that the aroma sticks on your clothes and you will smell exactly like a huge shrimp or fish ^^). I usually pour some spoons of sauce over the white rice and then mix everything together, mmmmm, how I love enjoy a mouthful spoon of saucy rice and then a bite for the shrimps 🙂 Now you know why I chose this dish for today, Shrimps in Basic Tomato Sauce. It’s simple, delicious but still flavorful and especially, has much sauce for me !!! Actually at first I decided to go for Shrimp Creole, but I realized that my kitchen runs out of bell peppers and some other ingredients, so as always, I made a little twist, good plan huh xD

Curried Prawn Fried Rice

Curried fried rice 1If there’s one thing that I recommend you to store in your kitchen, that would definitely be curry powder. Trust me, I’ve been through the craziest situation in the kitchen (no oven, if you know what I mean ^^, and yes, good news, I HAVE MY OVEN BACK yayyy), and curry powder was an effective helper for me. Apart from a variety of curry, it gives you many more choices. Curry powder can be used as a spice for marinade (chicken or fish match really great with this kind of dishes), or like this time, as a stunning touch for your usual fried rice. I gotta say that it was a hit, I’ve never tried adding curry powder to my fried rice, but I think since now, I’ll start being curry-addicted !!! It didn’t only give the rice a beautiful, intriguing yellow color but also a nice aroma and a flavorful taste. I’m pretty sure that this Curried Prawn Fried Rice will be a not-bad choice for your lunch or late dinner, especially for some cozy winter days 🙂  Read More

Tom Yum Goong

Tom yum goong 1If you love Thai food, maybe you already know about this dish, Tom Yum Goong, and how it tastes like. But in case you don’t know about it, thanks to Wikipedia (yay!), now it’s able for me, who is truly and honestly terrible at explaining things, to tell you what it is. According to Wikipedia, Tom Yum is a spicy clear soup typical in Laos and Thailand and is widely served in neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, and has been popularized around the world. It’s characterized by its distinct hot and sour flavors, with fragnant herbs used in the broth (lemongrass, ginger…). And finally (that’s the most important part ^^), Tom Yum Goong, or Tom Yam Kung is the most popular version of Tom Yum, is made with prawns as the main ingredient.
