Night Market Tour in Shanghai

Unless you don’t like dumplings, but who doesn’t like dumplings – I would be suspicious of someone who doesn’t like dumplings. Or, maybe you have to adhere to a […]

Oodles of Noodles in Shanghai

September 2 by Priscilla 7 Comments

One steamy July afternoon in Shanghai and four noodle houses, one Shanghai deco coffee house, a single one-stop shopping wet market later, I feel like I have a good handle on the best locals cum cult favorite noodle houses in this crazy hot city of modern mile-high skyscrapers on one side and historic districts reminiscent […]

Tangerine Dream Parfait with Chia Seeds

Tangerine Dream Parfait with Chia Seeds

March 6 by Priscilla 22 Comments

I’ve been a supporter of the buy local, eat sustainable “movement” my entire life – in fact, I was an unknowing early adopter.  I grew up in a household where nearly everything on our plate was a result of my family’s hard labor:  dad’s planting and harvesting, mom’s constant cooking and canning, and the many chores […]
