Anyone know the ingredients to this???

A few months ago we travelled to Cambodia, and in Siem Reap we had a pizza that was awesome. All i can remember now was that it had coconut milk instead of tomato sauce....

Might have been the pot they like to put on pizzas in Cambodia that you're craving.

Talking An easier question

That pizza looks really nice. I have a question about a very common Hong Kong dish, the kind my Mother in law cooks and I have seen in quite a few families locally.

It is an egg dish, it is generally steamed on a metal tray in the top of the rice cooker. It is all a consistent yellow color and smooth on top. My wife is away for a few weeks and when she comes back I would like to surprise her with a dish her Mother makes.

no...it was not the "Happy Pizza"

KIA - yes, it looks very similar to that, but the recipe sounds nothing like what it was.

If you say it had coconut milk, it might have been using a Khmer Curry base. This is the recipe (but you need to use Khmer curry powder and I don't know where you can get that outside of Cambodia):


For 4 people:
3 teaspoons of 9-spice Khmer curry blend
500g meat (chicken, beef or pork)
1l coconut milk
400g potatoes
200g carrots
100g green beans
200g onions
100g small shallots (crushed)

Love to help you on this Bender, but as its not an authentic Italian provinicial recipe and being a vietnamese locality improvisation, I'd say on the road is the closest so far.

As to Dean Tsai's recipe, you are going to need to pony up a bit more info or atleast display some photo's of said dish before many of us can offer advice. It would help to know what prvence of China the recipe originates from.

Also, while we are on the subject of food, and Chinese families, do es your wifes familiy only cook Chinese food, or do they add other international cuisines to their repitoire ?

Being fed the same style of food over and over, day in day out would do my head in, and thankfully my wifes familiy here, originally from Shanghai, travelled enough to be exposed to the wonders of food diversity. My wifes father was a cook in the merchant navy, and he was pretty amazing with whatever you wanted to nominate. Of course they cooked many authentic Chinese dishes from all over China, but they were not afraid to cook a perfect creme Brulee etc or a sponge cake or whatever......

If you want to impress your wifes family, I'd suggest you cook something that is very simple, but something your family will eat, because its pretty difficult to mess up, even for a round eye.



Yang Zhou Chai Farn, being Australian, you'd be more familiar with its westernised combination special fried rice name.

If you can locate my photo folder on Geoxpat, I have a food cooked at home folder, which has a step/stage by step/stage photo recipe of a perfect Yang Zhou Chai Farn. If you cant locate it, I will post a geoexpat blog on it, and add it to the other two recipes I have uploaded already.

I even have a Dim Sim recipe, being from Melbourne you might even be motivated enough to give that a try... http://www.geoexpat.com/forum/blog.php?b=150

Good Luck Dean Tzai, and try not to burn your wifes family home down in the process...

There you go Dean, try this easy recipe first, and see how you go from there. http://www.geoexpat.com/forum/blog.php?b=179

The recipe that your lopors family cooked often, btw, sounds like a Chiu Chow recipe, my missus had no idea what it was by your description, and shes born in HK.

Also, lets not forget that a large percentage of HK people are ancestrally from many other provinces of China, ( Think 1950's ) so not a good idea to base an assumption on your Chiu Chow Fan Ling NT village experience of Hong Kong .

My wife has a Hakka background, we're talking pretty southern food. Maybe I will get my wife to ask her mother and then we'll both cook it for my family in Australia when we visit for Christmas. The 'chau faan' I can already cook.

Dim Sim's are from Australia not China, they were invented in Melbourne - although they are Chinese 'inspired'.

Ah you are talking about Steam Water Egg (Translate that into Chinese in the same order), my Chinese wife also makes that but I never liked it, me being a curry lover. Wahey. The egg dish looks too much like pudding to me.
