Baby Hadouken!

I ♥ Sriracha Sauce

I haven’t craved much spicy foods since I got pregnant (the horror!), and I have continued to stay away from the stuff while breastfeeding. That being said, I am a connoisseur of spice/hot sauces and my all-time favorite remains sriracha sauce. It is precisely for this reason that I believe this updated food pyramid to be awesome: […]

I Am Not a Prisoner

A few days ago, I sent out the following tweet which caused quite a stir: I immediately received dozens of replies, which were soon followed by emails and private messages from those who were worried that I was being held prisoner in my own house. And as much as it warmed my heart to know […]

Meet Cloudy

When my younger sister posted the first picture of herself holding her niece Claire on Facebook, she captioned it: “In the words of Phil Dunphy: ‘Claire? Isn’t that gonna be hard for her to say?’” (If you don’t get the joke, go watch the pilot episode of Modern Family. Hilarious! What a great show!) My sister’s […]

Dim Sum Flowchart for Dim Sum Virgins

I may be married to a Chinese guy, but I still play it pretty safe when it comes to Chinese cuisine and can be somewhat of a dumbass when it comes to Chinese dishes. This flowchart, which can be downloaded in PDF format, would come in handy for people like me. P.S. — I still […]

If ‘Star Wars’ Was Set in Feudal Japan

Illustrator Steve Bialik has combined Star Wars with Edo Japan in a series of six prints. The price is very attractive too, at $15 per print and $75 for the whole set. Each print is limited to an edition so hurry up if you’re interested before the fanboys snatch them all up! “The Admiral”(Admiral Ackbar) “The Emperor” […]

Dim Sum Buttons

I’m not a big fan of dim sum (J thinks it’s an atrocity that I prefer Chinese take-out to authentic Chinese cuisine), but I find these dim sum buttons by Mark Wu of One Inch Punch adorable. I would get the set, affix some magnets to their backs, and use them on my refrigerator. Via Neatorama. You may […]

The Rise of China [Infographic]

I always joke that the reason I married a Chinese man is because China will take over the world in our lifetime and I want someone “on the inside” for my own protection. I’m not sure if J takes this seriously or not — sometimes I can swear that he agrees with me. Via Power […]

Asian Emoticon Stamp

J likes to tease me and call me a “twinkie” (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) because I’m not too familiar with the Asian culture. Sure, I like to pretend — and write about it on this blog — but the truth of the matter is that I routinely research and triple-check my […]
