Rice Bowl

2020-04-30T10:51:31+01:00

What is it about a rice bowl? Steamy or crispy, mixed with other ingredients or served by itself, the wonders of a rice bowl never cease to amaze me. It's been the healer of all dishes for me ever since I was a child. It always make me feel better. In Asian countries, rice is a staple food. It contains the essential level of carbohydrates for the body to function. To think that there would be no rice available would be disastrous. The key lies in how to enjoy your basic rice dish with a variety of condiments and colours. At [...]

A Hearty Produce

2020-04-30T10:52:56+01:00

Look what I found in the garden. Coming up to speed on my home farming techniques, the endeavour has proved to be worthwhile. Last week I peered in on the bed of leaves in my back garden to check the progress. With all the wet weather we've been having, I found a party of slugs that I feared would have eaten the fruits of my labour. But alas - next time I will have more faith - they had a nibble or two but no destruction what-so-ever. The celery leaves were in tact and the strawberries were shiny and ready to [...]

Happy Father’s Day

2020-04-30T10:52:56+01:00

It's true when you hear ' A son's first hero and a daughter's first love' - a father's care and love is just as important as a mother's. There's still time to plan a great Father's Day weekend. Haven't bought a card, then take it upon yourself to make one. It's the thought that counts anyway. With only a day left, you can always plan a little something special, whether it be a get together with family or some quality time with your dad. And if all else escapes your busy schedule, then perhaps a hike might be just the thing [...]

Vegetarian Options

2020-04-30T10:52:56+01:00

Much of our focus at Naturally Chinese has been on sourcing ingredients as fresh as possible. I wanted to highlight some vegetarian options that we serve which are not only delicious but are especially designed to cater to a style of healthy eating and detoxification. Chinese cuisine offers a range of foods, not only the usually meat dishes like pork, beef and chicken, or seafood and fish, but even vegetarian. From zingy ginger, crunchy turnip to peppery mustard greens, the aim is to deliver the crisp flavour of these vegetables in the dishes we serve. When we sat down to devise our [...]

This month is for dad

2020-04-30T10:52:56+01:00

Usually celebrated on the third Sunday of June and declared as such in the US - Father's Day has been gaining popularity in recent years on this side of the pond and all over the world. And why not? Why should us mums have all the fun and appreciation. For a father who does his fair share and more for the family, it is important to acknowledge his contribution in his children's lives. Even the smallest of thoughts count. Most people know they have to send flowers and a card to mum for her day, but since it is less expected [...]

Growing Your Own

2020-04-30T10:52:56+01:00

One of things on my agenda is trying to cultivate more of an organic approach to growing my own vegetables. On a recent trip to Japan, I visited a nature farming plot that implemented some innovative techniques. It's becoming trendy to take on a plot of land to grow one's own produce, even if just for the basic salad leaves, tomatoes, potatoes and the like. With small baby steps to achieve this, the process can be one of the most rewarding. In the hustle and bustle of the cities we live in today, our curiosity about food and its origins are dropped down [...]
