What did you eat today?
I was in Chinatown most of the day so all day long, I ate Chinese food. Early morning, I had half a red bean bun and some bottled iced jasmine tea. Around 11ish, I ate a sausage roll (one of those pigs in a blanket that consists of a hotdog-like sausage wrapped in soft white bread from Tai Pan Bakery). For lunch, I ate a $4 lunchbox consisting of white rice, black mushrooms and bamboo shoots, braised seaweed & eggs, and scallion chicken. Geesh! I ate a lot today and it’s only 4PM. For dinner, I’ll try to control myself…maybe I will eat a mango and some left over duck or kielbasa…
What do you never eat?
Hmmm…even though I consider myself an adventurous eater, I try never to eat sweetbreads, blood sausage or anything blood-based. Diseased goose liver? Give it a French name and I’m there! But blood and BRAINS!? Save it for the zombies…
Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator, you can always find:
Hot sauces (I have 8 different bottles in there right now), bottles of champagne (gifts from friends but I don’t drink champagne because it gives me a massive hangover), scallions and cilantro.
What is your favorite kitchen item?
My big butcher knife from Chinatown. I use it to prep almost everything.
Where do you eat out most frequently?
Now that I am in Brooklyn, I go to Al Di La and Sakura sushi on Fifth Ave. quite often. But if I am in the city, I have to go to Grand Sichuan because I am of Sichuanese decent and they make some authentic tasting spicy food. I highly recommend the Ma-Po Tofu but be ready for some, um, future pain…if you catch my drift…
World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?
Without a question, my mom’s homemade pork chops with steamed rice and garlicky “empty-heart” Chinese greens. She makes the best damned pork chop in the world!
Mazeltov on the coming wedding!
