Hearth-y Dinner for Two



Lotus root soup, the way mum makes it. Sliced lotus root, pork ribs, peanuts, dried oysters, dried squid for salt and flavour, rock sugar.

Beautiful baby bok choy, impulse purchase at the local expat market, briefly blanched then doused in a simple sauce of ginger, garlic, soy and sesame oil. Inspired by Nigella's Gingery Broccoli recipe on Forever Summer.




Served on these gorgeous black and white National Museum of Taiwan silicone placemats. Aren't they pretty? Gift from AK from Taiwan (duh).

A quiet dinner with good conversation, slurping of soup, Boo Boo at our feet. Simple moments to savour at home.
