Chinese cooking on TV, what's her name?

Interest forums / Get Stuffed

A few times I've come across a cooking show with a woman who I think is Chinese-Australian. She makes Chinese (or Chinese-inspired) dishes in her home kitchen. She seems to keep the preparation and ingredients comparatively simple. I'm trying to look up her recipes on the net, but can't recall her name.
Can anybody help?

Kylie Kong?

There is also this lady (Taiwanese) who does some pretty nice stuff, on the BBC:

The Biggest impact that Kylie has had i our house is her use of herbs, she not only uses them as a garnish, she sometimes adds a lot of them very early in her cooking to infuence the flavous of her food. One very clever lady, who seems to use her common scense in cooking.

Not when she gets round to poaching eggs in oil.

It's a tasty treat but you wouldn't want to make a habit of poaching your eggs in oil instead of the usual water.

Look Drovers, i do not know what you are on about, i honestly don't, OK? ..............Could you explainit ?

Eggs poached in oil ... not Kylie Kwong though...

What ever you do, just make sure you use Chinese cooking wine when making any of her recipes ... a must for adding character!

(sorry, it was her catch cry during her TV series)

I had the great pleasure of dinning at one of her restaurants in Sydney. I can honestly say that her sweet and sour duck is up there as one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten. It was culinary nirvana.

...And the rest of the food was good too.

And another thing i like about her that she explains why she does certian things, and shows the result of her doing so. Like the time she was on Masterchef, and showed how much moisture she got out of eggplants by salting them before cooking, i found you could learn from her, some TV chef's you can't .

Kylie didn't stir up the culinary desire in me lmao She's fun to watch but I guess Chinese cuisine has never 'do it' for me.

She's way better than Martin Yan (rubbish chef really) and that Ching lady from BBC.
