Just spent the afternoon with owner Larry and his lovely sister Gail at Seasons Dumpling for a private tasting of fried steamed bao stuffed with pork and chives, fried rice, and variety of Asian breads. Everything was so good with quality ingredients. They wanted opinion of a chef and foodie, so I ended up staying for a while to give them some menu and marketing input, which I didn’t mind at all since they’re such sweet people. Their menu has all kinds of yummy items. They’re going to do so well here. Mark on your calendar for their grand opening on May 3, 10585 Old St. Augustine Rd. I’ll be back for another tasting of their dumplings :) #foodstagram #asiancuisine #asiancuisines #foodlover #foodpics #chinesefood #chinesefoods #asianfood #asianfoods #tastecurator #thetastecurator

Any herbs or vegs can be used to roll Vietnamese spring rolls. I just happened to have these in my fridge. Guess what the yellow fruits are? They’re baby mangoes, small as the size of a golf ball, but just as sweet as the full grown ones #authenticvietnamese #authenticvietnamesefood #authenticvietnamesefoods #vietnamesefood #vietnamesefoods #asianfood #asianfoods #springrolls #vietnamesespringrolls #springroll #vietnamesespringroll #tastecurator #thetastecurator #foodstagrams #vegetariandinner #vegetariandinners #veggiesdinner #veggydinner #vegdinner #vegandinner #vegandinnerideas #vegandinners #chilispringrolll #rawfood #rawfoodsdiet #tastyvegan
Dinner tonight, 3rd course: Vietnamese spring rolls, using chili rice paper. The bright orange color from the chili makes the rice paper so pretty & gives it a little kick #authenticvietnamese #authenticvietnamesefood #authenticvietnamesefoods #vietnamesefood #vietnamesefoods #asianfood #asianfoods #springrolls #vietnamesespringrolls #springroll #vietnamesespringroll #tastecurator #thetastecurator #foodstagrams #vegetariandinner #vegetariandinners #veggiesdinner #veggydinner #vegdinner #vegandinner #vegandinnerideas #vegandinners #chilispringrolll #rawfood #rawfoodsdiet #tastyvegan
Home cooked vegetarian dinner, 2nd course: roasted okra in Chinese 5 spice & sesame oil, beet harissa, beet powder. Picked up a pot of nasturnium at today’s herb event @eatyouryardjax and had to put it to good use #asianfood #foodstagram #gettinginmybelly #deliciousfood #foodforfoodies #asiancuisine #asiancuisines #foodlover #food #delicious #homecooked #dinner #delish #gourmetdinner #foodforfoodies #foodie #vegetariandinner #vegetariandinners #okra #roastedokra #harissa #veggydinner #veggiesdinner #vegdinner #foodies #tastecurator #thetastecurator
I was so inspired after an afternoon at Tim’s herb farm @EatYourYard that I decided to make a vegetarian dinner tonight, starting with this salad: flash fried Chinese cauliflower with daikon dumpling wrapped spring garden salad (Shout out to @chef_wuttisak for this idea), ginger aioli, hibiscus plum sauce, sriracha powder #asiangastronomy #artofplating #asiangourmet #gourmetchef

At Earth Day Farm Celebration ‘cause I’m planting an edible yard at home. My dream is to pick herbs & garnishes from my yard for my cooking & food experiments. I was just resting my bamboo bag next to these beautiful cactuses and couldn’t resist snapping a shot. Nice, right? #cactus #colorfulcactus #colorfulcactuses #coloredcactus #redcactus #yellowcactus #ediblegarden #greenthumb #homeplant #homeplants #edibleyard #ediblejax
Afternoon snack: blood orange, pear, vanilla granola, and guava with chili salt. I like to eat my fruits the Vietnamese way, sweet, salty and spicy  #guava #fruitbowl #healthysnacks #healthysnack #exoticfruits #seasonalfruit #bloodorange #bloodoranges #pear #fruitandgranola #eathealthy #eathealthyfood #freshfruits #tastecurator #thetastecurator
Constantly fine tuning my recipes and plating skill, from which my fam gets to benefit: pork chops on shiso basil, veg ramen garlic noodles with sriracha dust, hibiscus ginger sauce, heirloom carrots, pink pepperberry on onion petal

Thanks for your feedback; you asked that I put my logo on the images of my own cooking, so at a glance, people could see which dishes I cooked and which are from places I’ve eaten. I used to do it before but got lazy and stopped. But from now on, my logo will be on every dish that I make. Can you see my logo? Is it too big, too small? Here was what I made for dinner last night, a classic Vietnamese comfort dish “thit kho”: caramelized pork shoulder braised in coconut juice, woodear and eggs. Usually eaten with rice, but this time I’m serving with puffed tofu, chives & garlic chips #thitkho #porkdish #vietnamesethitkho #asianporkdish #vietnamesecomfortfood #vietnamesecomfortfoods  #traditionalvietnamesefood #traditionalvietnamesefoods #yummyfood #yummyfoods #delicious #deliciousfood #deliciousfoods #authenticvietnamese #authenticvietnamesefood #authenticvietnamesefoods #vietnamesefood #vietnamesefoods #asianfood #asianfoods #tastecurator #thetastecurator #braisedpork #braisedporkbelly #caramelizedpork #porkandtofu #tofu #tofurecipes #tofurecipe #comfortfood
Nola’s mega chef John Besh’s Restaurant August was a classy joint. The fois-gras three way was decadent. We especially loved the special touches (amuse bouche at the beginning and comp macarons at the end). But the piece de resistance was the super delicious gnocchi with truffle and blue crab, out of this world! #foodforfoodies #foodstagrams #gourmetfood

Cochon is another eatery that I always try to stop by whenever I’m in Nola. They specialize in seafood with flavors of Cajun country. Their wood-fired oysters with chili garlic butter was dangerously good. #nolaeats #nolarestaurants #cochonnola #woodfiredoysters #garlicoysters #oysters #oysters #chilibutter #bestofnola #nolaeating #cochon
Here’s another creative dim sum dish at Maypop: Pork and Cane Syrup Sausage Stuffed Sesame Balls with chili oil. Wish I thought of that. Yummy.

So impressed with New Orleans’ crop of Asian fusion joints, with Vietnamese & Chinese inspired global foods. really enjoyed Maypop’s weekend dim sum. Their soup dumpling was juicy and inventive, stuffed with head cheese and blue crab. Great service too. A shout out to talented chef Miles Glynn! #dimsum #dumpling #dumplings #asianfood #chinesedimsum #gettinginmybelly #foodstagram #foodforfoodies #steameddumpling #steameddumplings #soupdumplings #soupdumpling #nolaeats #nolarestaurants #nolabest #instadimsum #eatdimsum #yumchadimsum #tastecurator #thetastecurator
Although Crustacean in Beverly Hills seemed boujee, but their most famous dish looked so simple & unassuming yet SO good, it’s addictive. I was so inspired after eating it that I immediately went grocery shopping afterwards and determined to make it. (P.S.: After three attempts, I nailed it, yay, so now my family could enjoy it anytime at home)

Why do we like yellow fruits so much? ‘Cause we’re Asians, duh :) Did you know that jackfruits are packed with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, carbohydrate, electrolytes, fiber, fat and protein, but no cholesterol or saturated fats? And yellow dragon fruits are so much sweeter than red ones? But Asian pears are my fave- light & crisp, with just the right amount of sweetness. These yellow fruits are all in season right now, so pick up some at an Asian market and enjoy! #springfruit #springfruits #jackfruit #jackfruits #asianpear #asianpears #asianfruit #asianfruits #yellowdragonfruit #dragonfruits #dragonfruit #fruitplatter #exoticfruits #exoticfruit #yellowfruit #yellowfruits #fruits #fruit #seasonalfruit #seasonalfruits #floridafruit #sweetfruit #sweetfruits #tastecurator #thetastecurator #
Why aren’t there any delicious unique Asian street food like this in Jacksonville? Burmese Tea Salad with Marble Tea Eggs (slow cooked for hours in a tea of star anise, cinnamon, soy sauce, jasmine and black tea) #foodstagram #truecooks #deliciousfood #foodforfoodies #asiancuisine #asiancuisines #foodlover #foodpics #chinesefood #chinesefoods #chinesecuisine #asianfood #asianfoods #tastecurator #thetastecurator #bestchinesefood #bestchineserestaurant

Don’t get me started on @baoandnoodle ’s Fried Steamed Bao, crispy  on one side and pillowy on the other, stuffed with ground pork, ginger, garlic and Chinese chives with Chinkiang vinegar and soy sauce. Dang, it was good! #foodstagram #truecooks #deliciousfood #foodforfoodies #asiancuisine #asiancuisines #foodlover #foodpics #chinesefood #chinesefoods #chinesecuisine #asianfood #asianfoods #tastecurator #thetastecurator #bestchinesefood #bestchineserestaurant

I discovered this incredible casual, authentic Asian restaurant run by a husband and wife team who put their own spin on creative Chinese & Burmese dishes, Bao & Noodle in New Orleans, of all places. My fave was their Cumin Braised Lamb w/Biang Biang Noodle. The hand pulled & ripped noodle had just the right amount of chewyness and 
thickness to soak up the flavorful soy-based sauce and tender lamb shoulder braised in cumin, chili flakes and garlic. Well done!
