Thanks! It was great meeting you too. Maybe sometime I can actually meet the other Christine Lieu, ha ha ha . . .

I live 5 minutes from Michigan. I'm technically from Ohio, but Ann Arbor was still super close!

Yes! So glad we got to meet, even though it was brief. Yes, planning on posting the video TONIGHT!

Yes, I think it WAS for Cupcake Wars, now that I think of it. As for the Foodbuzz Festival, I think it's geared towards food bloggers, although I don't see why others couldn't go. It's free for Foodbuzz featured publishers, and I think costs around $350 or so for everyone else.

that sounds great. The Michelin Guide has never rated Boston so we do not have Michelin rated places.

Cool - I didn't know which Farmers Markets in Boston had them since I got mine at a store. Thanks for the tip. They are super tasty!

You must tell me if you're around! Would love to snack on some yummy bites together!

Man, I am SO IMPRESSED with his memory! I love the pics you have of everyone taking pictures, lol!

Great detailed recap! I kept wishing I had all your notes when I was writing my post because I couldn't remember anything that wasn't on the online menu! I think I'll update my sparse "fried polenta" description. Thanks for the great detailed post. It was a great time and I can't wait until the next one!

LOL, "faster than Panera" . . . I'm sure they overstaffed the restaurant in preparation for Restaurant Week. I must have gone on an understaffed day!

Re: Rialto (the Bar)

Jen @ Tiny Urban Kitchen — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 10:23:41 -0000

No, that sounds really good! I don't think it was on the menu the day we went. Bummer!

I'm sure there's no shortage of Afghani food in NYC!

Hi urban kitchen 2!
I don't have an exact recipe for that dish (it was made by my husband's aunt!), but this pork belly mustard greens "gua bao" recipe is basically the same thing

Jen @ Tiny Urban Kitchen — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 10:25:28 -0000

I've never been to the Baltimore location but I would guess that it's similar. And yes, we love your food!! If only there were more restaurants. :)

Re: Helmand

Jen @ Tiny Urban Kitchen — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 10:24:40 -0000

Thanks! I tried making the kaddo (sweet pumpkin dish) at home once, but substituted butternut squash. It ended up surprisingly decent, but not as good as the restaurant version!

Hey Lily,
Thanks for the tip! I had NO IDEA there was another Afghani restaurant in Boston. Of course, with Brighton Ave you get all the traffic/parking headaches if you don't live nearby!

Re: Homemade Baos (Steamed buns)

Jen @ Tiny Urban Kitchen — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:35:54 -0000

I think steaming is just the traditional way Chinese people cooked most stuff. Most Chinese did not have ovens back in the day, and relied on steaming for most things that would be baked in the Western culture.

Hi Nick, thanks for the tip! I personally love rice flour already and I might even have some at home. Yum . . maybe that will be my next project - mochi baos!

Re: High/Low Food/Drink: Xi'an Famous Foods in NYC

Bryan & I will be going to Xi-an at the end of September! I had no idea their food was so lamb & cumin based.

Jen @ Tiny Urban Kitchen — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:34:01 -0000

This looks like a great recipe! And I think I have tomatoes, zucchini, onions, and eggplant right now. I don't have panko, but I do have some Italian breadcrumbs. So tempted to try making it!

Hi Eric, I haven't really been able to find them in that many places. I really like the ones at Shangri-La in Belmont. It's possible that Chung Shin Yuan has them too, but I seldom go there so I don't know. I don't know any other place locally that has them, actually. I don't think I've seen them at Gourmet Dumpling House nor Taiwan Cafe. One of these days I'll have to trek to NYC and try the ones at BaoHaus.

Hi Jessica,
Thanks for the interesting tip. I did notice that the homemade ones were much more tan than restaurant variety. I bet the special flour, sugar, and lard make all the difference!

Re: Homemade Baos (Steamed buns)

Jen @ Tiny Urban Kitchen — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:56:40 -0000

Cool, thanks! I tried a similar version with butter and milk, but I still couldn't get the texture to be super fluffy like the restaurant variety.

Re: Quinoa

Jen @ Tiny Urban Kitchen — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 10:46:01 -0000

Awesome! That looks fantastic, and I love love love fresh corn. I haven't picked up any this summer! Gotta go get some. :)
