I almost didn’t submit this. Before leaving for T I almost didn’t submit this.

Before leaving for Thailand,
in between packing and everything else,
I made a jar of kumquat marmalade and sent it off —
just to try.

No expectations. Just instinct.

Weeks later, it came back with a Silver Award
at the Dalemain World Marmalade Awards in the UK.

“A lovely marmalade… the subtle flavour of kumquat comes through.”

For me, it’s never just about sweetness.
It’s about capturing a flavour that feels like home.

I hope this made my grandpa proud 💕

趕住出發前做的一樽果醬,
最後帶回來一點溫柔的肯定。
It turns out… Thai people even eat this when they’ It turns out… Thai people even eat this when they’re trying to stay fit 😏

But today, I made a slightly indulgent version —
Thai Cha-om Omelette (ไข่เจียวชะอม)

Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside,
with the unique aroma of cha-om 🌿

A simple dish, but one that feels like home in Thailand.

原來泰國人減肥都會食😏
但我今日整咗個邪惡版
外脆內鬆,好香~💛

Thai Lime Chili Sauce (Nam Jim) 🇹🇭 A must-have on Thai Lime Chili Sauce (Nam Jim) 🇹🇭
A must-have on every Thai table.

Simple, fresh, no cooking needed —
just mix and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Sour, spicy, a little sweet…
one spoon can make you finish a whole bowl of rice 😌

Your sauce, your way.

✨ Ingredients For 1–2 servings

Garlic (4–6 cloves)
Red chili (1–2)
Green chili (½)
Lime juice (1 lime) 
Light brown sugar (2–3 tbsp)
Fish sauce (2 tbsp)

Mix everything and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Yves Tips 🌿

-Fresh garlic is the soul of this sauce.
-Chili is flexible — use what you like.
(Bird’s eye for heat, Scotch bonnet for serious fire 🔥)
-Cane sugar gives a rounder taste — avoid white sugar if possible.
-Add lots of coriander if you love it.
-This is a fresh dipping sauce — make what you need.
-Best eaten within a day (up to 3 days in the fridge).
-Taste and adjust — Thai cooking is all about freedom.
Thai steamed fish 🇹🇭 Not trying to become “a Thai Thai steamed fish 🇹🇭

Not trying to become
“a Thai person (me) steaming fish” 😂

Just a simple plate —
chilli, lime, fish sauce, garlic
and a final pour of hot oil ✨

Simple… but everything changes.

泰式蒸魚🫣

千祈唔好叫泰國人(🫣me)蒸魚
最後你會得到一碟泰式惹味醬汁
然後淋上熟油
Krop Khun na Ka🙏🇹🇭
