Guacamole Dip

My boyfriend makes kick-ass Guacamole dip!
He said the key is to get good ripe avocado - a little soft to the touch with dark green skin.

Let the party start!

Enjoy!

Pineapple Fried Rice (凤梨炒饭)

I've always loved this dish. The few years when I stayed in the little town in Indiana where Asian cuisines were scarce, I used to improvise and make pineapple fried rice. Lacking the taste of following rules, I disliked following recipe either. So the fried rice came out different every single time (my poor housemates!).

Years later I came to appreciate having a recipe.
Found this pineapple fried rice recipe in a Curry cookbook and decided to add it to my collection.

Apple Chicken Salad (苹果鸡丁沙律)

A nutritious and low-carb diet - slimming down doesn't have to be tasteless!

Radish Glutinous Dumplings (萝卜粄)

My grandma used to make the best radish dumplings!
The sweetness of radish combined with the taste of sea (dried shrimp).
Even better, dip it in chili sauce!
I'll definitely have to try this out to see how close I can mimic the taste from my childhood.

I wish I had written down all the recipe of her popular dishes....
