I got to spend time last year in the 13th arrondissement in Paris. I was really surprised that almost everyone on the street, as in conversations around me, discussions between young people, the language used at shops and restaurants, was not French or Cantonese or Vietnamese, but Teochew: my native language.

Turns out it’s a large Vietnamese and Khmer Teochew stronghold: and Teochew is alive and well. It’s also a bánh mì hotspot:

At Le Fooding, every expedition to the 13th arrondissement of Paris is cause for celebration, one that is always accompanied by an epicurean ritual: window gazing at the legendary restaurant Thieng Heng.

Usually their roast pork is sold out by the time we arrive, but today is our lucky day.

Also great: hainanese chicken chop, beef noodles (which goes great with their fiery sambal), roti babi (not pictured)

Melissa De Silva has a cool video on CNA tracing her Kristang (Portuguese / Malaccan Eurasian) roots through food.

‘Eurasian’ in a Malaysian and Singaporean context is approximately similar to the idea of say, ‘Anglo-Indian’: not just a recent generational mix but centuries of it, with their own distinct cultures and languages and food

Just three plant species, wheat, maize and rice, account for 60% of all food eaten globally. Crop science expert, Prof Tafadzwanashe Mabhaudhi, argues that many of Africa’s 30,000 edible plants must be revived.

One of the phrases that’s been popular in China this year according to this article: sixthtone.com/news/1014370

For more context, people in China have been assembling plain white bread sandwiches to try to understand how we live in this part of the world, and they are posting through it (the idea of eating anything cold or raw, especially a vegetable, is seen as especially disgusting in the Chinese world, with some exceptions)

We finally tried out Memorie. It’s rather pricey but surpassed our expectations by a lot! What we ordered: devil’s curry, mushroom omelette and fern fiddleheads with sambal. The chain specializes in Kristang/Serani cuisine (Kristang people are eurasians in Malaysia who descended from interracial marriage between Portuguese colonizers and maritime Southeast Asian locals).

Good instant ramen rivals fancy ramen restaurants in the U.S.: it’s not rocket science, you can already buy the instant noodle version of top rated ramen restaurants in Tokyo!

Sun Noodles, which makes the noodles for most top U.S. ramen restaurants, has these excellent packets like this very good tsukemen I’m having: sayweee.com/en/product/Sun-Noo…

Learn to make chashu and a ramen egg and no more spending $30 at a not so good fancy restaurant (there aren’t many in SF that I rate highly)

I like this recipe - a dal paste filling for cabbage rolls that are steamed, then sliced, then fried. This method of steaming then frying is very common in #IndianFood (particularly snacks), and also very delicious.

bawarchi.com/recipe/cabbage-pa…

#SabitaRadhakrishna in her book #Annapurni, has a similar recipe, but she makes a ground lentil mixture (chana dal, toor dal and urad dal), and mixes in cabbage, onions, chillies and coriander, After steaming, it is cut into squares and fried for snacks, or the unfried squares can be used in any vegetable curry.

One of my special dishes that I cook for friends, which is quite a spectacle, is my tea-smoked chicken (or duck. Or tofu).

It was one of my fave dishes to order in nice Chinese restaurants back in my part of the world, but the secret is I cook this so as to get rid of the tea I’ve ordered that I don’t love.

This recipe is pretty close to what I do. I also smoke in a wok, with spices:

I serve it with Singapore-style chicken rice.

I've been browsing #MeenakshiAmmal's first book again tonight. It is an extended tutorial on Tamil food. You surely learn how to make sambar when you cook 10 different ones in a row, then kuzhambus, then Moar kuzhambus, then ..... and so it goes. I spent time cooking a couple of hundred recipes from this book and am not yet finished. I must get back to it.

Here you go: Pulse Balls Moar Kuzhambu. The balls are made with soaked and ground toor dal and spices, made into balls and steamed. Then simmered in the buttermilk spice stew.

Chinese tea discourse in the west, without the food, is like meditation culture in the west: without the faith. I made a scallop chicken congee WITH pipa oolong tea in the broth. Topped it with Teochew (Chaozhou) olive vegetable preserves and, somehow, sour cream and onion dusted chicken chicharrones (that I also made).

Excited to order the ramen from this shop on Weee (they have a lot of external vendors from Japan, Korea and China now and you can buy specialized things from them.. like tea shops in Beijing, and like this Ramen Kingdom shop)

My friend from Japan bought me a box of instant noodles created in collaboration with four famous ramen shops there. I picked ‘Hakodate shio’ as I have not found good shio ramen where I live. It was delicious.

Probably better than restaurant ramens in many cities. Many famous ramen chefs in Japan have branched out into offering their kits abroad, so I will be on a lookout for them.

This is the best frozen har gow. It tastes better than many lower end takeout dimsum spots in San Francisco. Just steam or microwave it yourself at home.

I know this because I’ve eaten many bad frozen har gows before finding this one!

I literally can't remember the last time I baked a loaf of bread and I am definitely a little rusty. Look at my plump doughy son. My breadiest boi. My crusty little dumpli—ok ok #food

One of my little morning joys: a little local Purple Cloud lavender honey in my porridge.

One of the tastiest honeys I’ve had and made right here in Kilkenny in Ireland.
