Buffalo Wings 美式酸辣奶油鸡翅膀

There are a few things that I miss about my years living in the Midwest.
All those finger-licking-good chicken wings were one of them.
Few nights ago I finally tried out this recipe, and it made me a very happy gal!

Now my quest is to look for organic free range wings, which I wonder if they exist since wings are not considered 'healthy'.

But hey, crispy-juicy-spicy-and-buttery-wing VS boiled chicken breast.
I know what I'm getting to go with my beer. ;)

Shrimp Thai Fried Rice with Tomato Sauce 茄汁虾泰式炒饭

Longing for an easy savory dinner, I tried this Thai fried rice recipe the other day.
The result was .. of course it was good, else this recipe won't make it to my collection here. ;)

Ok enough boosting.
The fried rice is a perfect mix of savory, sweet and sourness.
You can taste the shrimp, the tomato sauce, the lemon juice and the cilantro.
None of each overpowers the others!

And, it's easy to make.

Mmmm... just recalling the taste makes my mouth watering! ;p~

Vege, Shrimp, and Milk Soup with Vermicelli 鲜虾牛奶汤米粉

This soup is inspired by my favorite Malaysian food "Fish head vermicelli 鱼头米粉".

Know one of those days when it's cold and foggy outside?
Those days always make me crave for a bowl of hot steaming soup.

So I decided to make my mom proud and pack in lots of nutritious ingredients into this soup dish: vegetable, mushroom, shrimp, and milk.

After a few renditions, I made it for my boyfriend just now and got both his thumbs up.
(You must think that he basically only had the choice to say "oh it's so yummy!" But the truth is, we always critique our kitchen experiments with the most unbiased attitude ;)

Here goes..

Gambas a la Plancha

I love shrimps - steamed, stir-fried, fried, raw!

Ran across this yummy-yet-simple recipe from the DailyCandy: just enough ingredients to showcase the shrimp!

Remember to get very fresh ones.
