Honey-Glazed Baby Back Ribs Feb 28th 2013, 12:13 One of the favorite food of Mr. Rasa Malaysia is baby back ribs. He loves all sorts of ribs, but especially partial to Chinese-style ribs and American BBQ ribs. He doesn’t have much of an opinion whenever we dine out as I am always the ones who decide where we eat at, but whenever he is in the mood to take charge, his answer is pretty predictable: ribs. He has taken me and his friends to unknown restaurants at obscure places, for some hole-in-the-wall ribs. If there is one thing he is obsessed with when it comes to food, I think that would be it, and very lucky for us, our good friend Slap Yo’ Daddy is one of the top BBQ pit masters in the US, and he would always bring us some of his award-winning and extremely delicious baby back ribs. These honey-glazeed baby back ribs was prepared for him. I am not much a ribs person, other than using them to flavor my Chinese soups or stews, but I was pleasantly surprised with the sticky, gooey, and addictive great taste of this recipe. This honey-glazed baby back ribs recipe is adapted from the Food & Wine magazine. I love the addition of sambal oelek or chili-garlic sauce for a tint of spicy note. Either way, Mr. Rasa...

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Across the Table: In Italy, amaro is the bitter end

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Across the Table: In Italy, amaro is the bitter end Feb 23rd 2013, 00:00 I remember my first encounter with amaro , the Italian bitter liqueur. It was the first time I went to Italy and had overindulged the night before. "Drink it. You'll feel better," my Italian friends urged, handing me a glass of Fernet Branca for its supposed digestive properties. The thick, viscous and extremely bitter liqueur could be enough to put you off the stuff forever. "It's like swallowing a spoonful of VapoRub," Mozza general manager David Rosoff describes it, laughing. I can't disagree. Media files: 16x9

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Counter Intelligence: The Hart & the Hunter makes angelic biscuits

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Counter Intelligence: The Hart & the Hunter makes angelic biscuits Feb 23rd 2013, 00:00 The restaurant from Kris Tominaga and Brian Dunsmoor in the Palihotel on Melrose serves up notable Southern-style food (often in little bowls). The first thing anybody is going to tell you about the Hart & the Hunter, the restaurant in the new Fairfax District Palihotel, is that you should get the biscuits, which come four to an order and are served on a board. And you should get the biscuits, which are really pretty extraordinary, as light and delicate as the angel biscuits you sometimes find in the best Southern households, but also flaky at the extremities, and layered — they naturally separate into two or three finger-burning strata, which you are going to need if you want to butter them properly.

Stews: When time is on your side, taste will be too Feb 23rd 2013, 00:00 Slow and easy cooking can produce beautiful results, maybe starting with a roux or ending with a daube, and the next day can be even better. The first time I met chef Paul Prudhomme, he was peering over the stove in his narrow test kitchen, a converted shotgun house just outside the French Quarter in New Orleans. Chef was heating oil in a large cast-iron skillet, and when he saw me, he invited me over to watch him fix gumbo. Media files: 16x9

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Farmers Markets: Irvine's Saturday farmers market is O.C.'s sweet spot

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Farmers Markets: Irvine's Saturday farmers market is O.C.'s sweet spot Feb 23rd 2013, 00:00 The selection is easily the region's best, even if there are a few bad apples. The Irvine Saturday farmers market is the largest and best in Orange County, but it's a mixed bag. It has some worthy local small farmers who come in person, along with more commercial farms, and even a few who have been sanctioned previously for cheating by agricultural authorities or other managers.

Jonathan Gold quiz: Food in the movies Feb 22nd 2013, 01:38 Getting caught up in the drama and romance of a movie plot is no reason to ignore the food onscreen. What food was used in that food fight? What does one use to flip enormous pancakes? If you love films (and food), then you'll enjoy taking this quiz. Media files: 16x9

Rasa Malaysia: Easy Asian Recipes: 137 Pillars House, Chiang Mai

Rasa Malaysia: Easy Asian Recipes Asian recipes site for home cooks who love Asian cooking. Easy and authentic Asian recipes with gorgeous food photography.

137 Pillars House, Chiang Mai Feb 21st 2013, 09:05 My Thai Sojourn in December 2012 with Baby G began in Bangkok, the heart of Thailand. From there, we tracked the fragrance of the "Rose of the North," landed ourselves in Chiang Mai, the fifth largest city of Thailand that bears great historical and cultural significance. And my quest during my stay in Chiang Mai was to explore and understand as much as I could its heritage, culture and history. For that, I chose to stay in 137 Pillars House, a luxury boutique hotel with a rich and unique historical past. A quick search on 137 Pillars House will tell you that it was originally a large teak wood house built in 1889 as part of the East Borneo Company headquarters, restored to recreate its former glory and to perpetuate its fabled history. Besides its intricate past, 137 Pillars House totally captures my fascination with smaller, hence exclusive hotels that offer greater intimacy and privacy. In its 30 carefully designed suites that capture the old world charm and elegance of the Orient in their own distinctive ways, the guests get to re-live the elegance of the past in the comfort of the present. The beautiful airy garden, bamboo tree-lined pathways, decks, ponds, and century-old...

Rasa Malaysia: Easy Asian Recipes: Devil’s Curry

Rasa Malaysia: Easy Asian Recipes Asian recipes site for home cooks who love Asian cooking. Easy and authentic Asian recipes with gorgeous food photography.

Devil's Curry Feb 18th 2013, 09:52 For the month of February, I am working with Malaysia Kitchen NYC for a special feature of Malaysian recipes on Rasa Malaysia. Earlier this month, I have shared my nasi ulam, or Malaysia mixed herb rice recipe with you. I have received a few emails from the readers that they have successful attempted the nasi ulam recipe at home with great success. I am very pleased that many of my readers get a taste of Malaysian cuisine through the Malaysian recipes I share on this website. And from the cooking and preparation, you are exposed to the spices used in Malaysian cooking, and you might consider dining out at a Malaysian restaurant near you, and eventually plan a trip to visit Malaysia. Such are the goals of the Malaysia Kitchen program—to evangelize and promote Malaysia through its colorful cuisines and its many quality products (food and non-food) to the world. Today, I am sharing another classic Malaysian recipe with you, a curry dish named Devil’s Curry, popular in the state of Malacca, Malaysia. In the 15th century, Malacca was the most important trading port in Southeast Asia and the Sultanate of Malacca was a powerful empire. However, in 1511, the Portuguese conquered...

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: The California Cook: Easier polenta, inspired weekends

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

The California Cook: Easier polenta, inspired weekends Feb 16th 2013, 00:00 In most cases, I'm a terribly traditional cook. If there is a longer, slower, more manual way to do something, almost invariably I will prefer it. But even I push tradition aside when I find an alternative that is not only easier but also tastes as good or better. Media files: 16x9

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Counter Intelligence: Hostaria del Piccolo lives the fantasy — almost — in Venice

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Counter Intelligence: Hostaria del Piccolo lives the fantasy — almost — in Venice Feb 16th 2013, 00:00 The atmosphere is dreamy, and when this Italian restaurant gets things right (the costicine ), it gets them very right. But consistency is an issue. California rarely feels more like California than it does from a window seat at the new Hostaria del Piccolo in Venice, where life's great pageant rolls by. Graying tax attorneys cruise by on Rollerblades, women toss yoga mats into the back of their Porsches and handsome young families roll by on their bicycles as serenely as if they were ducks. As you regard the glass of wine in front of you, you may contemplate a Westside drinking game, doing shots of on-tap Merlot every time you spot a dude with interesting facial hair, a knit cap, tie-dye and a skateboard; hear a distant drum circle; or smell a clove cigarette.
