🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 My tribute to Paris:

Galette des Rois🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

It is King Cake called in English, a dessert to be shared at Epiphany Day on 6 Jan in north France.

I fell in love with it ever since my first bite in Paris in 2023. For each Galtter des Rois, there will be a small figure being put into the cake, whoever get the slice with the figure, wins the crown 😊 Galette des Rois is being made throughout January, don’t miss it next time when you’re there during this period of time 😊

I consider this is 1 of the easiest French desserts to be achieved at home - only if you are NOT starting from scratch , meaning making the puff pastry all by yourself :))) Once you manage to buy the puff pastry from shops, the dessert will be ready in less than 2 hours 😊

My winter craves in 2022 added No Mai G*i to my menu, 2 years later, last month in November, the crave of a Taiwan street food - Hujiao Bing kicked in.

Never thought I could have it recreated as the tool (shown in the last pic) they use I saw in Taipei is somewhat peculiar and new to me. After knowing oven would just do the same job and no special/hard-to-find ingredients are needed, I started the tryouts. It is also surprisingly easy to achieve especially for that croissant like dough.

What is Taiwanese Hujiao Bing?
It is a street food originated from city of Fuzhou, a baked bun with pork and spring onion filling. It becomes popular in Taiwan in the 80s’ .

The original name of the street food was called “Fuzhou Bing”, because black pepper is 1 of the main ingredients and the pronunciation of “Fuzhou” & “Hujiao” are similar in some ways , Taiwanese then renamed it to “Hujiao Bing”. Hujiao Bing can be easily found in Taipei’s night markets.

What is Hujiao Bing made with?
The main ingredients of the fillings are pork, spring onion & black pepper.

When is the best time to have Hujiao Bing?
Anytime! But I personally love having it during winter, as the freshly made ones are piping hot, imagine the warmth you retrieve from it :))

🇭🇰🇯🇵🇰🇷🇬🇧

Being as someone who is constantly living abroad far far away from home, I’m confident to claim that I’m among the best people who can understand the pain of not being able to have the crave of the taste of home being satisfied. Even tho it may seem quite a lot of options available claiming the name of the food which you’re very familiar with, but only to find out in shock or surprise.

I sort of had enough of paying a grand but not getting what I deserved/expected, cooking them myself is the only solution to stop the pain. Until I replicated 1 of my fav dish No Mai G*i #糯米雞 in the winter 2022, it made realised it’s such a blessing to be able to have the home food/tastes when you’re so far away from home.

It then made me think it would be wonderful to be able to satisfy the same craving happening out there. So therefore, here I am to offer some authentic East Asian food cooking service. It can either be a private or corporate event cooking; or a cooking class. The services are to be booked via this IRL directly to my profile- https://joyandmeal.com/shop/ceci/

You can use my code: JAM-Ceci-Summer24 to get a €15 discount on your first booking with me at Joy and Meal. This offer valid only until end of September.

Hope to see you soon 😊

🇰🇷Korea Kitchen

What is Gimbap/Manual Gimbap?
It is also known as Kimbap, believed to be derived from Japanese makizushi during its colonial period, while some believes it was developed from Korea’s long established local triad rice products. The key difference between Gimbap and Sushi is: Gimbap uses sesame oils while Sushi uses ice vinegar.

Mayak Gimbap is the mini version of Gimbap, about half size smaller. The word Mayak refers to anything additive, and the mini version is gonna get you eating non stop, so be aware😉

What is Gimbap/Mayak Gimbap made with?
The traditional one is made with carrot, spinach, eggs, pickled radish, beef and rice. I created a Japanese fusion one by replacing the beef with Oyako Don’s topping, either of them is just so irresistible 🤤

Which food catering services are Gimbap/Mayak Gimbap best for?
Gimbap is best for private/corporate event cooking and cooking classes.

It then lasts till to date and loved not only by Koreans but also Hong Kong locals like myself.
