just the two of us

a lot has changed since starting this blog in 2013. for starters, we no longer call hong kong our home. we are now happily living in shanghai, china. we are co-founders, operator, and executive chef of brut eatery; “a western café with an eastern soul” that is currently expanding all over china. we have become food and media personalities, the latest being hosts of a lemon documentary which took us around the world. and, we like to think that all of this would not have happened had we decided not to share our recipes with the world.

as busy as we have been, we still love to do the one thing that started this whole journey, cooking. but now, there’s more to us than just recipes. so stick around, get comfy, browse, read, like, comment, and share.

  1. guess I m more a eater like Jun, Do you have any good recipe for braised pork belly? am thinking to make it to go with a home made tortilla, sounds very yum 😀

      • yes i live in hk now. being an abc here is quite interesting. it’s like i’m chinese, but not really. i look chinese, so the locals will naturally speak to me in cantonese. but unfortunately, i don’t always know how to respond to them. so most of the people here probably think i’m slow or something because i struggle to find the right sentence and words to respond.

  5. thanks for liking my blog. i’m not that long a blogger so it isnt looking that pro yet. yours is looking great and i will follow Homemade in Hong Kong for asian inspiration. Cheers!

  9. Hi there, Jun and Priscilla! Thanks so much for stopping by fearless-kitchen.com. I’m happy it led me to your website, which looks vibrant, happy, and above all, tasty! I look forward to trying your recipes. 🙂

  10. Hi, Jun and Pricilla.. Thank you for stopping by my blog! I loved yours! All I could think of, besides the great food was how professional your blog looks! It’s great to be in touch with people from different countries,, Would love to try some of your food..! Big fan of Asian food you see! 😉

  11. Hello Jon and Priscilla,
    I was looking for a taro dish, and found one with pork on your blog. I like to know who’s behind the blog, so here I am. So nice to meet you!

    I’ve been blogging a while about boating and traveling, now getting ready to create a food blog with a Korean friend. It’ll be a mix of everything – wesian, like you coined it, but even more so, since I’m from Malaysia and hubby’s from Cambodia and we’ve lived in the south for over 7 years, and that’s not counting Florida!

  14. Hey
    Wow – I have to say your photos make me literally dribble. I need to work on my photos but am doing a photography course, so here is hoping! I actually live in Germany and I’m working my way through the cheesecakes here – so glad it’s your favourite food.
    I wrote up my German aunt’s recipe here if you like: http://leatherandabel.com/happy-birthday-cheesecake/
    Keep up the delicious work – I’m hungry now 😉

    • oh i love german cheesecakes, it reminds me of when i spent a year living abroad there. suffice to say i gained more than a few pounds eating cheesecakes made by my host mother.

    I was able to visit Hong Kong a few years ago when we brought the tanker “Coastal New York” to China to scrap her. I really loved Hong Kong and would love to go back someday. The food was just one of the interesting things I liked there. 😉
