THE FIRST WEEK OF SUMMER VACATION! Zoe and I are finally back home in Hong Kong. It almost feels like I’ve never left this place. Utah has been a great home for the past few months, but there really is nothing like being with family, having good food and speaking Chinese again! This post actually…
What we cook in Hong Kong: Gluten Free, Dairy Free (May 7)
Flourless Lemon Poppyseed Cake (Oil-Free)
One of the best things about being home in Hong Kong for the summer is that we have so many opportunities to test out recipes and cook. We love any excuse to have our extended family over for dinner. They are honestly the best part of our lives. When I first got home from the…
What We Eat in A Week: Gluten Free, Dairy Free (Apr 27)
These couple weeks have been so hectic and busy with finals and exams. I’m GLAD they are finally over!!! We have been slacking on our meal prep (sorry!). Zoe and I are also leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow morning, so we’ve been focusing on finishing everything that we have in the fridge – so our…

Healthy Sheet Pan Tandoori Chicken (The Best Recipe)
Creating this new website was hard, figuring out to use SEO, designing the logo was some of the many things we learnt, but the hardest thing was writing our “About” page. It has taken me almost a year to write this page. I was scared to share the details of our story because it was…
Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffins (with White Beans)
When I saw Zoe pour the can of white beans into the blender, I felt a pit in my stomach. I was not optimistic about this ONE. The last time we made apple cake out of chickpeas, it turned out so bad. We made the mistake of not tasting it before bringing it to a…
Vegan Peanut Sauce (made with Real Peanuts!)
I spent a lot of my childhood summers traveling with family. It was one of the ways to escape the hectic life of school and work. I recall a few summers spending a week in the beautiful, colorful city of Bangkok. The smell of fresh ocean waters. The warmth of the grainy sand enveloping my feet….
Gluten Free Bibimbap Salad with Mushroom Bulgogi (Low Carb, Vegetarian, Vegan Options)
This week has been packed filled with projects, presentations, competitions and activities. With daylight savings, I feel like my body is just craving sleep right now! But Zoe has been trying to motivate me to finish this post first before I collapse in bed for a nap. With 3 months into the new year, our…
The Secret to the Best Black Pepper Chicken (GF, Low-Fat)
Boom, Boom Boom I looked around worried our roommates would wake up from the loud bashing sound. It was 8AM Sunday Morning and we were already in the kitchen. Zoe was using a rolling pin to smash whole black peppercorns into fine granules (basically our substitute for a mortar and pestle). But I guess I…
