Bowl, Rice & Chopsticks

Some people learn how to cook but I admit that I've got talent in them and it just come naturally to me. For example when I went to a chinese restaurant and savour one of their dish, I will be able to tell how the dish is cooked. Of course it has to be a simple one.

In fact, cooking is all about common sense. You just put a little sense in them and some trial and error, you may get them perfected the next round. Cooking is different from baking. You need to get the measurement right for every ingredients or else it won't turn out right. That is why I prefer cooking dishes rather than baking. In cooking, every ingredients are by rough estimation. If you prefer less salty or more spices, just add them according to your preference.

As a chinese, it's a tradition to eat in a bowl using a chopstick to hold on the dishes. A spoon is for scooping gravy or drinking soup. This tradition is soon going extinct. Sad to say, I prefer using fork and spoon too. Holding a chopstick is an art that you must master and get perfected which I never did.

As you are here in my food blog, I'm giving you a big welcome, stay tune for more chinese cooking but western cooking will be feature from time to time. I enjoy your patronage and do come back often when you have the craving for chinese. Ciao...
