Too Much Food

The day after we visited Big Juicy Goose, we decided to visit the restaurant next door: 大東屋活鰻料理專門店 (Daito Live Eel Restaurant). This restaurant, like Big Juicy Goose, specializes in one particular dish. In Daito’s case, it’s signature dish is an 鰻丼 (unagi donburi), a bento of Japanese-style roasted eel (うなぎ), basted in a sticky-sweet soy [...]

If you’re confused by my last two posts (the earlier one saying I was already back in Taiwan, the later one saying that it wasn’t worth $2000 to fly back to Taiwan to buy 杏仁餅); I definitely apologize . . . I am still in Taiwan, the post on black sesame polvoron was actually written [...]

Even though my sister and I are older now, we still instinctively [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates (and yet another sourdough post), but I just had to post pictures of the last batch of sourdough loaves that I baked. I’ve been practicing with Susan’s (of the Wild Yeast blog, a fantastic resource for all bread bakers) Norwich Sourdough recipe, and ran across her tutorial on fendu [...]

The last time I was in Taiwan, my mom and I attended a family reunion dinner at Tainan Danzi Mein (台南擔仔麵), located in downtown Taichung.
