but true, I’ve to admit that “roti canai” is addictive. I think it the combintaion of the curry sauce and the dough in the “roti” that makes the combo unresistable. In my teenage years, I traveled...

olive oil added at the right time in the right way and amount. At Pepe’s, it creates a horror of saturated fried dough. Difara’s oil level is precisely where he wants it. Pepe’s is a mistake, an error, a fault....

kosher dill pickles, sauerkraut, and smoked pork shoulder soon. From his books, I use his pizza dough recipe regularly. His grilled pork tenderloin glaze was also nice – simply orange juice concentrate and rooster (aka...

too hard. The best bread are those small hoagie-type rolls made with rice flour where the crust is shatteringly thin and the dough is web-like. A very light bread so the sandwich doesn’t need to be packed full of meat. I am...

) with a side of roast pork – super delicious. If you are there before the evening (they usually run out) also order the sweet bread (just a small loaf of fried sweet dough). This combination is killer. I have never tried...

If you have access to a Chinese bakery you could pick up some bbq pork buns (or chicken, or curry, etc.) on the weekend and pop them in the mircowave briefly. Just be warned that the dough is usually made with lard, so...
