Full Kee

Dim sum at Full Kee is mediocre, but sometimes you just need some dim sum, and Full Kee is accessible and it hits the spot.

Did I mention I could live on those radish cakes?

Awesome bake chicken, reasonably priced comfort food!

Cooking List

As I face the daunting world of school loans and the realities of having no significant income for the next four years, my food fixation has taken a thrifty turn.
Rather than sample restaurants, I’ve decided to focus on honing my own culinary skills.
As I had a “to eat” list of restaurants before, I’m now putting together a “to cook” list; a compilation of dishes I should know how to cook, for myself as well as for others.
Here’s a few for starters, I’d love to get some suggestions. What other basic dishes should any self-respecting cook should be able to execute? Any good recipe suggestions? I have a couple to share too :)

The list in progress:
Pound cake (check)
Banana bread (check)
Chinese pork dumplings
Real scrambled eggs
Bolognese
Banana pudding
Roast whole chicken
Mashed potatoes (still looking for the perfect recipe that doesn’t involve gobs of butter. Not sure if that exists.)
Bread
Homemade pasta
Pie! Pie! Pie!
Spring onion pancake
Baozi
Shepherds pie
Mac & cheese
