I don't like cooked onions, so for as long as I can remember, I always avoided this dish when I was little. However, in the recent couple of years, I gathered enough courage to try it one day AND I LOVED IT! The stir fry process removes the garlic flavors, so you can have it at social events too. =)

This is one of the Chef's original creations inspired by a oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. These mini scones are sooooooo good, they are crunchy yet chewy, the giant sweet raisins provide the perfect final touch. I love them! I brought them into work with me today, my co-workers also really really liked them. Someday, we are going to open a tea/bakery shop, I'm sure this will be one of the top selling items!

One word describes this baked goodness: HEAVENLY~
The Chef had great success making the Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti. Given this is her first time trying the American recipe step by step, she was very careful in making sure all the necessary ingredients were included, the oven was timed, the dough was properly mixed, etc.
There were two parts the the baking process:
1. Making the bread
2. Making the Biscotti
Here's a picture of the finished bread, decorated with pretty cranberry pieces and pistachios:
Isn't it beautiful? The red and green provides the perfect holiday spirit! Did I mention the cranberry pistachio biscotti is one of the top favorite Christmas home baked goodies? This is a greatly present to give to your loved ones during this special season.
After the first part of the baking is complete, you have to cut the bread into chunks, the thickness if up to you, I would suggest 1" to 1.5" per piece.
Good luck and don't forget to use fresh pistachios!

Remember the iCook restaurant I talked about the other day?
Well….next to iCook, there's a Congee shop, serving mainly different types of Cantonese style congee along with some Chinese dishes. The restaurant also have a good selection of beverages, including yummy bubble tea and ice cream drinks.
In the summer, we ate at this Congee shop once. At the time, I was very disappointed with the lack of sweet congee choices and did not like this place. Today, we decided to give it another try.
The cantonese speaking population of China, from my observation, prefers to add all sorts of meat to their congee. Unlike the Northern and Mandarin speaking Chinese who prefer plain rice congee or sweetened red bean congee, Cantonese tends to prefer salty congee.
Thankfully, their menu includes pictures, we picked the following three dishes:
Lobster Congee
Fried Squid (spicy)
Steamed Fish
Out of these three dishes, the lobster congee was the best! For $13.99, you get a whole lobster. Unlike adding just pieces of lobster for flavoring, which was what we had originally expected, they put in an entire lobster, together with shell and everything! It was very delicious and definitely a good deal.
The other two dishes, the steamed fish and the squid, were somewhat disappointing. I didn't realize they would deep dry the squid ( I'm used to simple stir fries), also the strong spices were too much for our taste buds. The fish…unfortunately, also didn't quite meet our expectation. It looks very yummy, but the flavoring wasn't too great, the fish itself also tasted weird. Maybe it's just us not used to this type of cooking style, but the squid and fish sure wouldn't be on our selection list next time.
Overall, they have some really good dishes and some disappointing ones. Make sure you know what you're getting before you order.

Here the beautiful fish in its raw form. As shown in the picture, you put finely chopped green onion and garlic on top of the fish. (The fish should be cleaned, most of the supermarkets will clean them free of charge). Make sure the fish is fresh, this one was live when we picked it out.
Here's the yummy after piece. Ready to serve!

This isn't as soft as the typical American banana bread, but good nevertheless.
