Jamaican Pepperpot w/ Beef Neck Bone

MO Jamaican food for dat ass. This is pepperpot. I dont have a photo of the after. This was taken halfway through before I added chayote, yam, and coconut milk. But, if my camera charges before I finish this, I'll take a photo. Yes, I have been using the same damn giant wok for all these photos.

One of you kitchen equipment companies send me some shit so I don't have to use the same pot. If i had more pots, I'd do more posts!!!! Anyway, I'm not very experienced with pepperpot. This is the first time I made it. But, I'll let you know how it is. I tweaked the normal recipe by using cider vinegar. Pepperpot has ham hock, kale, collared greens, and bone meat. I used neck bone. Neck bone is dope. Especially Lamb or Pork neck.

Korean Gamjatang with pork neck is one of my all-time fave dishes. Anyway, when there's ham hock and collareds involved, I can't help not hitting it with cider vinegar. So I done did it yall.

Oxtail Pho

I love Pho. Especially at Pho Banc on Mott. I'm no hipster come lately to Vietnamese food. When you Asian in Orlando, your options are Vietnamese or Vietnamese. I remember the first time I tried Banh Mi, I asked a old dude at the counter what it was like and if it was good, in the thickest water buffalo-steez accent, homie says, "BETTA DAN SUBWAY!"

My OG favorites: Vietnamese Pork Chop with Crab Pate, grilled beef with chopped spring rolls on bun, Banh Mi, and of course Pho. My favorite cut of meat is oxtail so I tried it this time with oxtail and more noodles since Ning likes noodles. I have to say, it wasn't as good as I would have liked. When you use Oxtail instead of flank steak and shins/bone-in shank, you get more bone flavor, more fat, but less of the meat essence that balances Pho.

Ning and other heads loved it, but I think the spices were too pronounced without being muted by the meat flavor like usual. It was good, but more pungent and herbal than I usually like. I really like tasting the marrow, meat, essence when I drink stew. For instance, not a big fan of tom yum. I feel the spices carry the soup instead of chicken stock or shrimp. Its all preference. Either way, I'll still use oxtail, but just also have flank steak next time. Try it though! Maybe you'll like this version better.

The Black Olive: Duckhorn Dinner

My family owns The Black Olive in Orlando. Definitely not whoremet enough for Magic Dong Huang, but everyone loves it out in Orlando and they're doin their thing. Get that money pops! This was a dinner they did for Duckhorn. Looked dope.



Duckhorn had some cool branding with this stopper



Fancy Drank



Looks like scallops... as Bun-B said, "I eat so much scrimp I get eye-o-dine poisonin'" Yessa, yessa, i believe scallops got iodine too.



Duck with some shrubbery. Jamie Fox Huang says, "Yo Pops, stop tryin to fool a ninja wit shrubbery!" But naw, the duck looks bangin.



In case anyone questions whether this was the jumpoff, I direct you to exhibit A above, White People were in da house! It was official. This wasn't no lunar new year dinner with Pearl River Plum Wine!!!! Although, Magic Dong Huang probably would have served something from Bedstuy Vineyards, this event gets 4 out of a possible 5 MSG Packets. Nice work pops.

Brooklyn Wine w/ Bootleg Tyler Florence

Oh yes, Pop Kitschen will be serving T-Bone Steak, Cheese, Eggs, and Brooklyn Wine w/ Welsch's Grape

The Story of OG Iron Chef

Before becoming The People's Chink aka Magic Dong Huang aka Mr. I Shoot Hipsters.... There was The Legend of OG Iron Chef

Now, this is the story all about how
My life got flip turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you all about the Legend of Iron Chef Right Chere..

In west Winter Park bored and blazed
On internet porn is where I spent most of my days
Just Chillin' out maxin, throwin milkshakes all cool
And shootin some b-ball outside of school
When a couple of hos
Who were up to no good
Got pregnant and married my boys in the hood
We planned one little bachelor party and baby moms got scared
She said "You're never callin steve, kyle, joey sapp, or jameer"

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she took my boost mobile and sent me right on my way
Wedding coming up, bachelor party still on
I picked up the iron and said, where da xanex at prawn?

Hotel in Miami, yo this is bad!
Drinking thug passion out of a champagne glass.
Is this what cops like Rick Ross live like?
Hmmm, this could still be aite!

But wait I hear there're snitches, POs and all that
Is Miami the type of place they send this Iron Chef?
I don't KNOW!!!!!!
Let's go to Miami Gold and figure it all out there

Well, after the stripper farted, _ _ _ _ spanked the ho
There was a dude who looked like Kimbo Slice standing there
I aint trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
I said on to 7-11 before the bride gets here!
Picked up some frozen burritos and dipped out the rear
Headed back to the hotel to microwave these here

I pulled up to the hotel about 7 or 8
And I yelled to D-West, "You better have my doughnuts later!"
I looked at my room
There was no microwave there
Busted out the iron and cooked right there!!!!

NO LIE, at this bachelor party, we got mad twisted. 5 am, at 7-11, bought mad frozen mexican food, but no microwave in the hotel room. I say to my peoples, get me an ironing board, a glass of water, and a iron, I'ma chef this right chere. That is the Legend of OG Iron Chef. Some people cook with truffles and other expensive shit, I hold it down with the iron, BONG BONG

Don't Forget, Autumn Festival October 3rd!

So, its mooncake time. There are tons of blogs explaining what Autumn Festival is, but I'll give you the ABC (american-born-chinese) cliff notes. Your parents play mah jong, your grandparents ask if you are an accountant yet, and you eat MOONCAKES!!!!! Kind of like Yom Kippur but with mooncakes instead of noodle pudding.

On a side note.... I was looking for good mooncake photos and typed in a search "mooncakes FOB". As in Fresh Off the Boat. Cause FOBs got the good shit. But out of nowhere, all these photos of some band called Fallout Boy come up! Who the hell are these bozos? They aren't even on Hot 97!!!! Who listens to this crap? Can Kanye interrupt my google search to trash these dudes? That would be awesome. Pass the henrock yeezy.

Reader Questions

I love reader questions. Almost as much as I love getting really blazed using my volcano vaporizer and eating gummies.... but not quite. OD'ing on gummies is still my favorite thing to do in life. Its just not so fun when your teeth are rotting and your breath is stanking cause you fell asleep eating a pound of gummies watching Martin Yan's China. Martin Yan's China is the best way to brush up on your Chingrish. Phrases like, "This is the fashion" or "Rook how beaurifo my kung pao panda rook on dees rotus reef." are great for get togethers during the moon festival!

Anyway, reader questions...

"Where is the restaurant going to be?" Either NYC or Boston. Looking in both places right now, specifically East Village south of 13th, north of Houston in NYC and Brighton/Brookline in Boston.

"Is this a Chinese Restaurant?" Well, I am a Chinaman, there will be a few chinaman items, but no, it is not a "Chinese Restaurant". But like they say, "You can take a chinaman out the paddies, but he will still put MSG in all your food."

"How big is your penis?" Somewhere between not so shitty and not so big....but shawties love my food so it dont matter. they are so far in a MSG coma that they wake up and ask, "what happened?" and I say, I just brought the sichuan earthquakes to your vagina. BONG FUCKING BONG.
