foodeedoo

i attempted to make something a bit more complex in the kitchen this time...


the hub's favorite: "tsukune" or japanese chicken meatball yakitori


and "chahan" or japanese fried rice...


and for me, baked cauliflower


they look good... but as for taste? not so much... hwe hwe.


i shall try and try until i succeed...

but before i sulk, here's my real pride and joy:


it's my little bowl of fresh chicken stock that i keep in my freezer.

i made it myself (!), and i use it to replace those msg-ridden knorr chicken cubes.


and while we still can't stand to eat my cooking everyday (hwe hwe), we continue our sunday lunch habit in seryna.

and yes, guess what the hub had:


as for moi, this is what i had: MY NEW FAVE SUSHI ROLL. (it beats my ol' fave since it's a healthier-but-still-with-crunchy-bits version)


it's a salmon roll -- with salmon, salmon roe and salmon skin. not too much rice... super tasty. mmmmm.

and while i'm at it, i'm sharing with you my other healthy faves that i hope one day i can make at home...

1. ebi puri puri harumaki -- japan's version of our fresh lumpia. this time with miso sauce. mmmmm.


2. my latest discovery in terry's: salmon tartar. but this time, instead of mayo, they use fromage blanc...


and that's not a parmesan crisp, it's a manchego crisp... underneath is chopped egg and capers.... mmmmmm...


mmmmmm....

one night in tokyo

hi sis :)  there was one night we capped off our day with a late afternoon draft beer in a ramen house...  plus edamame for me....


and gyoza (and gohan (rice)) for twinpophub....


then headed off with twinpopfam to one of the sushi restos at the tsukiji market.


yummmmy sushi -- melts in your mouth, nice and chilly, super fresh...


chickout how generous they are with (fresh) wasabe...


my all-time-fave, saporro draft beer!  LOVE IT.


after dinner, i wanted something sweet.  found this small dessert place called galerie cafe...


narrow stairs led up to the cafe...


and it turned out to be such a cute place.  so cozy and eclectic...


i had some tea...


and their special, a weird-looking japanese cake.  


then twinpophub got hungry, so we headed to a yakitori bar.

we were placed in a teeny tiny room.  


felt like we were in a cage!


he had his favorite, tsukune (grilled chicken balls).


yun lang :)
