In the kitchen
Pork, eggs and vegetables with Vietnamese mixed fish sauce
Thin slices of pork belly, egg curds, julienned carrot and green beans. Sweet, salty and tangy with bit of punch from sliced bird’s eye chilies. Easy. Inexpensive. Cooks in 30 minutes.
In the den
Thanksgiving in the Philippines
Reading about pickles on the Thanksgiving table led me to a scanned copy of a newspaper published in 1898 that mentioned the first celebration of the American holiday in the Philippines.
Elsewhere
Hong Kong: North Point
Like most tourists, I’ve only been to places and restaurants listed as “must visit” and “must try”. Too bad. But not too late. North Point was an exhilarating experience. There are two restaurants in the area where I intend to go back to next time I visit Hong Kong.
