Salad that I can eat everyday!

I'm fond of salads. Unlike when I was younger, I loathed salads, especially if it was all 'vegies', ugh!  I'm just glad that I was able to learn to eat my vegetables be raw or cooked. And now I even eat 'strange' salads. Or at least that's how my husband describes this Japanese salad. I wish I can have some right now, just like 3 weeks ago when I had this full bowl full. Yum!!

Zoete Vlees (Tocino)

Note: I have posted this recipe in the past. This post has more to do with new photo of the meal that I've taken. I have been experimenting with food photography so you will see more meals from the archive. Me: Wat wil je vanavond eten? (what do you want to eat tonight?) Husband: Knoflook rijst (Garlic Rice) Me: met wat daarbij? (with what?) Husband: zoete vlees (sweet marinated pork or Tocino) Me: komt voor elkaar (it'll be done) Short is how our conversation normally goes when he knows what

Gift baskets!

Holidays are just around the corner and the time to give out gifts is at hand! Okay I am being overacting there but to be honest, Corporate Gift Baskets that we get from some of our business contacts are what I am looking forward to every year! Some of them give out really cool gift baskets. My most favorite is our insurance guy who takes time to choose gifts that he gives away, gifts that he makes sure his clients would appreciate and enjoy. Now that's thoughtful, isn't it? How I wish he'd th

Please don't turn your back on them.

I saw this tiny kitten in an alley in Bangkok one day. My husband and I were on our way to the next Hotel to get our dinner. But I knew that had to stop and see if this tiny kitten was still alive. I already felt like crying when the kitty would not answer my calls. It was tiny and like a porcelain doll, breakable. Probably after more than ten times of calling 'Kitty kitty' it slowly opens its eyes and looks at me. You wouldn't believe how happy I felt that I begun stroking this little precious

Let's take care of our bodies.

People like my husband who doesn't eat vegetables are being cruel to their own body. By not eating vegetables, you do not give your body what it needs not only to combat sickness but help you live longer. Ah, my speech which my husband hears constantly. Sometimes he listens and eats his vegetables, sometimes it's comparable to talking to a brick wall. But anyway, did you know that according to some research, eating vegetables about fourteen cups in equivalent per week produces anti oxidants that

Still dreaming of visiting any Nobu Restaurant!

Since I first purchased Noboyuki Matsuhisa's first book, I fell in love with his presentations and ultimately, with his genius way of mixing his ingredients. I've tried making 2 of his recipes during our Christmas dinner last year and I said to myself that I will try again to make 1 or 2 for this year's dinner. Can you remember this: that was TEMPURA PRAWNS WITH SPICY CREAMY SAUCE from last year's which was a big hit, thanks to Nobu's recipe. My dream is also to eat in any of his restaurants w
