    bamboo steamer pots

    you can also just stick them over the top of a saucepan with a little water in it. any green veg is good steamed: broccoli, pak choi, etc. sadly i am too tragically lazy to make my own dumplings or char siu buns or any of that malarkey from scratch, but you can buy them chilled in most chinese...

    Hollandaise sauce

    also reminds me that the recipe for bearnaise in the blessed nigel slater's appetite is pretty much foolproof, as far as i remember.

    Restaurant Recommendations

    yup, hop house is good stuff. i'm liking both fortuna and sichuan house at the mo for tasty spicy goodness. bonus points for fortuna's picturetastic menu, featuring a lot of beaks. and feet.

    No more spice burgers

    oh man, i don't think i've had a spice burger since i was a child (shout out to the rimini on collins ave.) and now i want one and i possibly can't have one. i used to love them. they are basically the bastard love child of fried stuffing and some sort of haggis, aren't they?

    last weekend's bus highlight: two tracksuited youths get on bus. one of them does not have enough bus fare and goes around the bus attempting to borrow it from other passengers. meanwhile, their mate (who wasn't even getting on the bus) attempts to first persuade the bus driver to let his...
