Come to my lips, elixir!
Your divine broth,
clear and pure,
humble and exotic,
simple yet complex.
Your hint of lemongrass,
a sprig of cilantro,
a handful of shrimp.

"Mild?" "Yes, rather mild,
I'm just not that brave."

Combine chicken and yogurt; garlic, 
ginger, turmeric, cayenne. Saute mint 
and mustard-seed till aromatic and seeds 
begin to pop. This from memory, 
the cookbook’s lost. You have to intuit 
quantities, and what to slice, mince, 
chop, or dice. Serve on basmati rice 
with cilantro and condiments of choice. 
Inhale, close your eyes, taste India....

I am your clam, your mussel
I am your tuna, your salmon
I am your cream cheese
I am your rice, white and full-figured
I am your peculiar cilantro
I am your wasabi 
I am your sweet ginger
Am I a delicacy?
Do I taste good?
Don’t you think you had too much meat? 
Maybe I should have more carrot and more cucumber.
But still, I am sushi
That’s what’s important to me...

You feel you aren't even worth Taco Bell?
Let all of that go immediately;
Our herbs can stir up something powerful;
Now and forever trust in alchemy.
Stand up! Believe in you believe in me;
The perfect night you are longing to have?
Put those tears in a cauldron, misbehave. 
A little too upset to go outside?
Throw in some cilantro if you are brave;
What happens next will be a five star ride....

People love at first sight
Friends love me for my first dish
With my shrimp spring onion roll 
This consists of medium-sized shrimps
Bacon, beans, ham, egg, cilantro, basil 
And lastly it must be onion
Mix and wrap in a Shanghai roll
Deep fry till look brown and taken easy
Serve a bowl right away freely on the table
People are heartless when it's favorite
The dish is taken easy with a smile
Only gone swiftly not more than just few minutes....
