Homemade Sweetheart Cake 自製老婆餅

Yeaaaaaaaah!!! Finally I made it!!!!! I been planing to make this and finally I made it! And it is super delicious!!!!!!! (sorry for my excitement 😉 )

I love this sweetheart cake so much, yes, you can buy in Chinatown bakery, but they don’t taste so good. So I tried to make it myself and it turn out really good. I use lard, yes, it is very fatty but hey, if you want it to be good, it has to use lard. (if you want, you can use butter) The pastry are so fluffy, with the winter melon sweet filling. They are just perfect!

Minced Ginger & Scallion Dipping Sauce 薑蔥蓉沾醬

Every time when I back to Hong Kong, I must have steamed chicken and Char Sui (PPQ Pork). However, what make me excited is not about the chicken, but the dipping sauce. It is a very simple sauce with minced ginger, scallion and oil. It is soooooo delicious, once you try it, you will love it.

Mr P always ask me to make this sauce, even in UK, we don’t have the ”yellow skin” chicken but this sauce go with roasted chicken. And also perfect just with plain rice.

Stuffed Tofu 釀豆腐

Classic Chinese homey dish – stuffed tofu. Very simple yet super delicious! Simply make a hole in a tofu, put minced pork (or you can add minced shrimp). Pan-fry the tofu until golden, dip with soy sauce.

Perfect dish serve with rice, guaranteed everyone will like it!

Hong Kong-Style Pork Chop Rice 港式焗豬扒飯

Every time when I back to Hong Kong, I must eat this Baked Pork Chop Rice. This is my all time favourite fast food meal when I was in high school, fried rice, pork chop and topped with melted cheese. They are so delicious and can’t resist it!

Purple Sweet Potato Sago 紫薯椰汁西米露

Classic and very popular Hong Kong dessert – Coconut Sago Sweet Soup. You can add yam or mix fruit in it, very simple but super delicious dessert. This time I

Sweet and Sour Tofu 糖醋豆腐

The most popular Chinese takeaway dish, I am sure is Cantonese Sweet and Sour Pork. The are sweet and sour (ok!) and is so perfect with a bowl of rice. This time I use tofu instead, make the whole dish lighter and healthier, yet same delicious!

The most important thing of this dish is the sauce, you don’t need much ingredients and mix it according to your own taste. Trust me, follow the recipe and you can make as good as you had in Chinese restaurants 😉

Hong Kong Style Fish Shumai (siu mai) 港式魚肉燒賣

When talk about Cantonese Dim Sum, I am sure you have tried Shumai (siu mai). The small yellow wrapper with pork and shrimps. So Yummy!

However, this fish siu mai is different, it wrapped with fish (of course!) It is one of the most popular Hong Kong street food. In UK, I can’t find fish siu mai, so I better make it myself. You can choose whatever fish you like, I am lazy, so I used the frozen fish fillet. They are so easy to make and it taste just like like Hong Kong!
