Three orgasmic dishes to try this Valentine’s Day (Vancouver, BC)

By Mijune

Valentine’s is the one day of the year I can play on the character of Carrie Bradshaw meets Nigella Lawson, so I’m not holding back. There are endless options for romantic three-course dinners and heart-shaped chocolates, but when it comes down to it, nothing beats a genuine foodgasm – an orgasm in your mouth.

Pok Pok’s Thai Cucumber Salad Recipe

By Mijune

I had chosen the Thai Cucumber Salad for its simplicity and use of summery ingredients. I enjoy cucumber and tomato in salads or gazpacho but this was a chance to try them with different flavours. I loved how easily the salad came together in the mortar and it was a pleasure to make.

Pok Pok’s Grilled Pork Shoulder with Spicy Dipping Sauce Recipe

By Mijune

Along with those slices of [pork] neck (a common sight in Thailand) comes a dead-simple dipping sauce whose requisite flavors are sour, salty, and viciously spicy. At Pok Pok, we pour the sauce over the pork, even though you rarely, if ever, see it serviced that way in Thailand.

PiDGiN Restaurant – Prix Fixe Menu – Gastown, Vancouver, BC

By Mijune

PiDGiN is not an Asian restaurant, but it is certainly Asian inspired. Most courses were very good and I have faith in the team. It just lacked the minor, but noticeable details and finesse of a polished dish and I’m not comparing it to fine dining.
