We grew up in a kitchen that never needed measuring cups.
My parents cook with instinct, garlic, laughter—and a generous handful of dried chili.
This site is a love letter to those home-cooked flavors: not perfect, but perfectly ours.
Whether it’s Hot and sour powder at midnight or a spicy double-boiled pork on Sunday, this is the food that made us, raised us, and burned our tongues a little—in the best way.

Signature Dish: Twice–Cooked Pork
Mr. Jin never uses a measuring spoon. He eyeballs everything like a pro and somehow nails it. His Twice–Cooked Pork? A weekly legend in our house, crispy edges, garlicky aroma, and a little theatrical wok flip.

Signature Dish: Suan La Fen
Mrs. Xian hums while she cooks. Her Suan La Fen is spicy, tangy, crunchy, and comforting. Midnight noodles? That’s her love language.

She’s not the chef of the house, but she’s the reason these flavors made it to the screen. Raised on spice, comfort, and stories told over boiling pots, Adalyn made this site to archive the tastes that raised her—one noodle strand at a time.
