That magical moment when someone hands you a fresh

That magical moment when someone hands you a freshly baked, hot chocolate chip cookie in the cold. 😍

There are some magical people in Rochester. Monty showed up with an propane stove & oven in the back of his car today at soldiers field, made hot chocolate & baked fresh cookies for everyone to enjoy. 😭

@loudmouthbrass also showed up and played music for the whole field! ❤️❤️❤️

Totally enjoying all these little magical moments this winter. Thank you, to everyone who's made this winter warm.

The best Banh Mi in Rochester!!! So I bought 4 ban

The best Banh Mi in Rochester!!! So I bought 4 banh mis today and actually wrote a blog post about it?! Who am I? Lol

It feels good to do what I always wanted to do. ❤️👌

Got banh mi from @asianfoods1010, A la Francaise Bakery(also from asian food store), @old_abe_and_co
, and Asian Pacific Market. Baked at 350 for about 5 mins to crisp the crust then taste tested.

You're probably wondering who's got the best banh mi in Rochester? The short answer: Asian Pacific Market. Mostly judged by authenticity and overall flavors.

💥Slightly longer answer:
⭐ Authenticity Runner up: A la Francaise
⭐"Meatiest" Banh mi: @old_abe_and_co
⭐ Great for making it your own: Asian Food Store

You can find the detailed comparison of why we think this is the best banh mi in Rochester here: chew.recipes/best-banh-mi-in-rochester (or link in bio)

This is how we cut with chopsticks! Who needs knives and forks? 😉😂

Missing home, want something quick and simple for dinner so made this salted radish omelette (菜脯蛋） to go with some vegetables and rice. ❤️

We often eat rice with 3-4 (or more) side dishes each meal. A large variety of vegetables, meats, eggs, and tofu. 🤤

Bye 2020. Looking back at 2020, I find that my memory is mostly filled with good ones.

Here are some fresh photos I just finished of one of my favorite trips this year- north shore mn. Also my first solo road/camping trip in the US. 🙌

Excited about 2021 but also grateful for everything 2020 has taught me and the community we've built together.

Cheers & happy new year.

Cookies, beers, and food truck in the snow. Because outdoor dining is available and we live in MN. 🔥 It was gorgeous eating in the snow and the beers stayed cold. 👌

I'm experiencing the real MN. 🤣❤️

Over the years through my travels, I've learned to observe and listen and respect culture. Forgetting what you think you know as those things may not always be true.

Listening is extremely important. You don't have to be right all the time, don't be defensive. ❤️ Listen first, think, then do your own research.

In 2021 we need to be kinder to one another and really learn from each other & listen. 😊 Change is never easy, but we can do it, one little step at a time.

Accepting @old_abe_and_co 's #RochVent challenge.

Accepting @old_abe_and_co 's #RochVent challenge. I didn't think there's any real Chinese food to be found in Rochester, but I still wanted to know for sure myself, so I visited an area I don't travel to much and checked out @goldenwok_rochester . (1217 Marion Rd SE Suite 100, Rochester, MN 55904 )

They were speaking Mandarin when I walked in, so I asked if they have any "地道中國菜" authentic Chinese food. They looked at me confused, then realized that I was speaking Mandarin. Laughed, and said no... 😢

This made me sad. People feeling they have to change their autheticity and create dishes the way another culture sees them to be accepted. I still struggle with it too- I feel like all I can make to get attention is "dumplings", but there's so much more.

Food is culture. I think it's time to have some new & authentic items on the "Chinese" menu across America. When can immigrants truly be themselves?

One of the ladies turned around and asked the chef if he could cook something that's not American Chinese, and the answer was "we can make it less sweet". We chatted a little in Mandarin, she was so happy. She said "It's so nice to hear a familiar language!"

👉SO WHAT’DYOU GET ALREADY?
I got the Szechuan Beef(四川牛) & Mapo Tofu(麻婆豆腐)...because my grandpa is from SiChuan! The food definitely tastes nothing like real Chinese food, pretty sweet comparing to the authentic version. (Which I was warned by the lady). The tofu itself however, is actually flavorful, you can taste the soybean! I also love how there's a variety of vegetable accompanying the beef.

I have to mention the plain rice. If you think rice doesn't have flavor, you're wrong. Or just never had good rice. Rice should have a fragrant, sweet, and almost floral aroma. The rice from Golden Wok is well-cooked and aromatic- like it should be.

👉BONUS-
I love stopping at the grocery store next door on the same strip to look for goodies. While I waited for my food to be prepped, I went shopping and got some delicious spiced tea, spices, and lentils. Also, food from Brava smelled sooooo good. If you have a larger family, consider getting Chinese food AND Somali food from Brava!

HAPPY winter solstice 冬至, "TangYuan"湯圓, glutinous (but gf) rice ball is the must eat during winter solstice!
.
"吃一顆長一歲“ eat tangyuan, and grow a year older. It also symbolizes "reunion" (團圓). I used to count The amount of tangyuan in my bowl because I wanted to grow faster. 😅
.
They are basically warm mochi served in sweet or savory broth with or without filling. They don't have to be round either. Since winter solstice is usually right around xmas, I've made xmas themed tangyuan a few times, just because I like to play with dough. 😂
.
You can check out how the dish is made in my stories.
