<異國風情篇之自家御好燒>Home-style Japanese Okonomiyaki



不知道大家有沒有試過日本的御好燒呢? (日语お好み焼き) 坦白說沒有! 我第一次接觸是來自日本的他給我弄的~他跟我說, 大板的御好燒是最出名的(他從讚岐來的)! 可惜, 第一次的印象的確很一般! 哈哈,他某一位大板朋友看到我上載的照片立刻狠狠批評這位徒弟跟他學無所成! 哈哈~~ 從此之後, 我跟他都很努力的去研究, 由第一次做每一口都是厚厚的面粉, 第二次太水不成形, 這次我們終於成功做出美味的御好燒~ 這個食譜是經我們不停參考不同的方法,作出適當的取捨, 加入我們自己的口味!! 雖然我沒有試過真正的, 但我相信這個是最理想及適合每個人的自家做法! 
Have you ever tried Japanese Okonomiyaki? I have not tried the REAL one as I have never been to Japan ( how pity...) The very first time I tried was the time when my Japanese friend made it for me. He told me that Osaka is famous for their Okonomiyaki.

<甜蜜蜜篇之朱古力心心裝飾>Romantic chocolate hearts decoration




今天我想跟大家分享我第一次做朱古力心蛋糕裝飾的心得! 好多時候經過蛋糕店, 引起你注意的並不是蛋糕的味道(朱古力?栗子?), 而是它們很精緻的賣相! 事關快到了某紀念日, 我就有藉口去不停上網找資料! 我其實對焗蛋糕整餅真是一曉不通, 很多時都會有失敗的時候! 
Beautiful and delicate cake decorations are so important in attracting people on the street! 

I personally think that it is not necessary to pay for baking classes unless you are aiming to be a real professional! Nowadays internet does it all! Well at least I heavily rely on internet when I tend to do research on recipes or cooking skills etc...

<素食篇之健康Go Green泰式沙律> Temptation of green Thai salad


近來非常流行Go Green (即是素食), 但對於一直食肉較多的朋友們, 說起食素會覺得人生變得沒有味道! 雖然以前我也是非常的''食肉獸'', 隨著年紀愈大, 我發覺我變得傾向蔬菜! 曾經那種''一定要食肉''的感覺亦慢慢減退! 可是, 我做不了每一天都吃素, 因為我愛吃魚! 儘管Go Green 對我而言只能是一星期幾天, 但這樣已經能Save the world! 減低地球的廢氣排放量!
Lately,  'Go Green' (meat-free) has become a widely-used motto in relation to 'better health' , 'environmentally friendly'', ''save the world' etc...'.  For all the meat-lovers out there, becoming a vegetarian seems a hard-to-reach goal. As I grow older, I have gradually lost the desire to eat much meat. However, I don't think I can ever be a vegetarian( well at least for now), as long as there are fishes! Nevertheless,DO NOT make this as an excuse for not helping our planet! If everybody decides to Go Green once a week, it can help reducing problems such as global warming or forest destruction.
