Playing around with the idea of Chinese steamed eggs for Easter breakfast! Somehow I managed to let the wok boil dry and the eggs ended up flavoured with smoked bamboo: unintended but marvellously delicious! Anyway, Easter or springtime greetings from my kitchen in London.🐣🐣🐣

Perfect breakfast, English edition and Chinese edition! Marmite and butter on toast vs. soy sauce (Yuan’s imperial soy sauce from Hong Kong, no less). Which do you prefer? 😋😋😋

A friend made scrumptious goulash with DUMPLINGS of the European sort, which reminded me of how bizarre it is that the English word ‘dumpling’ came to be applied to every kind of Chinese wrapped food from jiaozi to wonton to xiaolongbao…) #westernfood #austrohungarianfood #winterfood

Found in London Chinatown: packets of seasoning to make the Shanghainese version of borscht, known in Chinese as ‘Russian soup’ (luosongtang 罗宋汤), that I wrote about in my article about Shanghainese western food for FT Weekend magazine a few weeks ago. You need to add potatoes, beef, onions etc.
