June is the season for strawberries in Vancouver. Nothing beats freshly picked strawberries from the farm. Arkensen loves strawberries and who can resist such sweet and juicy berries.

Shao-Zi Noodles
Published in 2006, NoodlesThe star of this dish is the meat sauce. Juile told us that the meat sauce can be made in big batch and store in the refrigerator for a few days. The noodle dish can be prepared easily using the pre=prepared meat sauce.

Pearl Yam Ball
Published in 2006, SnacksJuile showed us two dishes, A noodle dish and a snack dish. Here is the snack dish which is called Pearl Yam Balls. I remembered a similar roadside snack which we had in Malaysia that is made from yam and deep fried. I love it and I missed it since I came to Vancouver. Those we found in Malaysia is larger and had more yam in it. Neverthelss, Juile’s version is as good and I’m glad she showed us how to make it.

Richmond Community Summer Open House
Published in 2006, Gatherings & PotluckThe guest of honour was the mayor of Richmond, Malcolm Brodie. All the leaders of the community kitchens and volunteers who made this happen were presented with flowers as an appreciation. A big applause for Minoo who is the coordinator of the Richmond Community Kitchens.
This is a very, very simple dish and yet is a favourite in the family. I first learnt it on a show on the TV called Spicy Steve. I liked that show a lot but I have not seen the show for sometime already. Spicy Steve is a Vancouver based cook whose show focused on food from South East Asia.
I really don’t know what to call this dish. So since this dish is so simple, I will call it by a simple name — Cold Tofu.

Atlanta Trip Report Day 4
Published in Atlanta 2006The spaghetti is nothing special but I like the big meatballs. That big piece you see down there is not chicken breast — but it sure does look like one, isn’t it? It’s a piece of bread — not sure what you call that type of bread. It reminded me of the indian naan bread.

Atlanta Trip Report Day 3
Published in Atlanta 2006, WesternThanks to Maritza who recommended that I order “sweet tea”, I chose this. It is basically iced tea and was pretty sweet. Free refills, that’s what I like.

Atlanta Trip Report Day 2
Published in Atlanta 2006, MexicanThe nachos and salsa were free. Mark told me that most Mexican restaurants will serve it free. The salsa was made fresh and the nachos warm. Very nice — definitely much nicer than those we make at home.

Atlanta Trip Report Day 1
Published in Atlanta 2007, Non-FoodWe thought we will take a break on blogging about recipes and such — and will instead blog for the next two weeks of my business trips to Atlanta and London. There’s going to be a total of 34 hours of flying time in all! However, so not to turn off our blog readers, I will continue to blog about food.

Since we blogged about Hans Freitag’s Desiree Wafers and researched about Hans Freitag’s products, we bought a different type of their product to try. We like wafers a lot. The one below is a bag of mixture of biscuits (or in Canadian, cookies) and wafers.
I like times like these — when we have really nothing to do at the park and just sit by the picnic tables and just nibbled and chatted meaningless stuff. The weather was perfect on that Saturday.
