Mussels with wine & cream

Get the live ones, just note that you'll have to clean them up first. In a big pot, fry with olive oil - onions, tomatoes, chili and parsley stalks. Once heated, pour in a glass of Riesling, lite cream and heat till boiling. Pour in the mussels, shake the pot till all are covered with the mixture. Cover for 5 minutes. Discard the unopened mussels and serve in a deep bowl with a toasted ciabatta.

Glutinous rice with chinese sausage, chicken and dried shrimps

One of my favorites that my mom always cook for us. It's simple to make and all you need is to prepare in advance. Soak the rice in water overnight, then next day stir fry the onions, garlic, sausages and chicken (marinated in soy sauce, dark sauce, pepper). Then mix all together and steam till soft.

Sweet potato with ginger syrup

This is simple to make and yet delicious! Just cut the sweet potato in equal sizes. Then add into a pot with water, a knob of young ginger and couple tablespoons of sugar (to taste). Boil till the potato is slightly soft. Eat hot or cold.
