Tangyuen (Glutinous Rice Ball)
I’m still not too sure whether Tangyuen is eaten during the Mid Autumn Festival (中秋節) alongside mooncakes to celebrate the full moon. Tāngyuán is a Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour. The glutinous rice flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked...
Beijing Da Dong Restaurant
Never did I ever expect Peking Duck to be this good, until you visit the source of where it originates: Beijing. The ducks are roasted using a traditional wooden stove and it is prepared for you by the master chef as soon as it is cooked to perfection. This is probably one of the most famous Peking...

Since I’ve taken a 10 week break from working at a restaurant, I can finally stay home at nights or weekends to teach myself a few more authentic Chinese dishes. Mom being a very strict Buddhist vegetarian I’ve always wanted to perfect a dish that she can enjoy.
I’m looking for a good,...
