Arrive early for boysenberries, Persian mulberries, Mara des Bois strawberries, Blenheim apricots and Snow Queen nectarines.

This week may be the best of the year for high-flavored fruit that's worth a special trip to local farmers markets, because it's almost never available elsewhere.

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: The California Cook: A school of anchovies

Once many years ago I came across a fish vendor at the farmers market with a whole tray full of beautiful fresh anchovies. On a sudden impulse, I bought them all. Real anchovies — the ones that have been packed in salt to last — are an essential flavoring, the garlic of the sea.

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Critic's Choice: A season of sun — and mozzarella

Osteria Mozza, Obika and RivaBella are among the Los Angeles restaurants taking advantage of the varieties of the milky white cheese.

Come summer, I look forward to interleaving slices of mozzarella and basil leaves with slices of the first luscious red tomatoes to make a classic caprese . I'll sometimes toss hot spaghetti with diced mozzarella or bocconcini (those bite-sized balls) and raw chopped tomato for a hot-weather supper. I had a wonderful treat once in Naples, a bowl of bocconcini drizzled with gold green olive oil. I think you get the idea: Mozzarella spells summer, and some of our best Italian restaurants take advantage of imported and local varieties of the milky white cheese.

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Hugo's West Hollywood patrons may recognize Phil Gittelman

No, he's not on staff; he's a customer, only more so — a regular for 32 years, with a rare-these-days house account (and a key).

In the restaurant world, being called "a regular" is a badge of honor. Phil Gittelman has been eating at Hugo's in West Hollywood almost every day for 32 years. He is so fond of the restaurant, which opened in 1980, that he is more than a customer; he's become a living time capsule for the place, a faithful repository of its stories, characters and food.

Mango Sticky Rice
Jun 6th 2013, 17:35

I just came back from Vietnam a few days ago, on a fish sauce immersion trip with Red Boat Fish Sauce, which produces the best fish sauce in the market now. I had so much great foods in Vietnam and the journey was truly amazing…stay tuned for my complete report soon, here on Rasa Malaysia. Anyway, the fertile land in Vietnam produces some of the best, juiciest, and sweetest tropical fruits. I had a variety of fruits there, including ripe, succulent, beautiful mangoes. Sticky rice is also widely available in the markets there, or sold by many street food vendors. The toppings could be lentils, beans, or fruits such as mangoes. Mango sticky rice is a popular dish in the Indochina region (or in French “Indochine”) of Southeast Asia, in countries such as Thailand, Loas, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It’s precisely a dessert dish where sticky rice is cooked by steaming, and...

Mini Egg Cake
Jun 3rd 2013, 17:47

My friend CP is a fantastic baker. She always posts her beautiful baking creations on Facebook. A few weeks ago, I asked her if she would be willing to share some of her recipes with the readers of Rasa Malaysia and she gladly said yes. I chose four recipes from her, which I will be posting in the next few weeks. They are all great baking recipes, and I hope you will love she shares with us. This mini egg cake 0r 鸡蛋糕 caught my attention when I was going through her photos. These mini cakes were my favorite when I was growing up as my mother would always buy them from the market, and I would snack on it the whole day: breakfast, tea, and supper, or whenever I am hungry. So this recipe does bring a lot of childhood memories back. My friend CP told me that she adapted the recipe from a baking book by a very popular Malaysian baker. It is an easy recipe and takes less than 1 hour, so...
