Cheng Can Cook: Uni Spaghetti ★★★

Got it. Finally got it. After going to Blue Marlin for their Uni Spaghetti for 20+ times, I have figured out their recipe in my head and finally executed it tonight. I was debating with myself whether I should put my cooking on my food blog. Well, I am a foodie after all. My foodie passion goes beyond eating - I like to experiment and cook too. Got the box of uni from Woori Korean Market@Little Tokyo. They have uni specials for $4.99 a box today. (regular $6.99) Great deal.

Delicious Food Corner@Monterey Park ★★

I like their Spicy Minced Pork with Egg on Rice - sunny side up egg on top of the rice. The seaweed on top gives it some special flavor. It's a bit on the spicy side. The sauce for the steamed rice rolls is fabulous. They play Cantonese channel in the restaurant. Nice place for Hong Kong people.
