the waitress was nice..

sudden crave of jap food so i google & found this in RH.. it's a cozy japanese restaurant.. we arrived at 6-ish & they said no uni & no amaebi, which was upsetting.. anyway, they were fully booked, & since we didn't make reservation, they could only let us stay for 45 minutes.. so we had to order fast & eat fast..

Orangeville Roll (8pcs) $13.95
Spicy scallop, wrapped with fresh salmon, tobiko and avocado, cucumber, crab meat
..it's supposed to have spicy salmon & spicy scallop, however, since the sashimi were all diced, we could not distinguish if it's salmon or scallop.. nor did they have a distinct taste.. it just tasted like some diced sashimi, not knowing what sashimi were there..
Spicy Salmon Roll
Salmon & Scallop Sashimi
..salmon was very fresh, yet scallop was just so-so..

Spider Roll (8pcs) $10.95
Deep Fried real soft shell crab, tobiko and cucumber
..it was half "real" soft shell crab, & half deep fried "frozen" crabmeat.. it's soooo unbelievable.. i never had a Spider Roll which came with deep fried "frozen" crabmeat!!! & those were in big chunk..

it's a very disappointing meal.. i highly doubt that i'll visit again..

we first ordered some appetizers for sharing..

Papaya Salad $8
Green papaya, long bean, peanut, dry shrimp, lettuce, carrot, tomato, shallot, basil; with Fish sauce, fresh lime juice, palm sugar salad dressing

Golden Curry Chicken $17
A sweeter curry made from coconut milk, plum sugar, tamarind and our own blend of yellow curry.
Chicken or crispy beef, broccoli, carrot, onion, bell pepper, mushroom
..its spiciness of the curry was just right..

it took me quite a while to dice the 蓮藕.. glad it tasted good.. 爽口!

香煎藕餅

(食譜來源: CR 簡易食譜)

材料：

1段蓮藕
200克豬肉 (剁碎)
蝦米（隨量，或可以不用）
1隻雞蛋（先打散成蛋汁）
1湯匙生粉（即鷹粟粉，又叫粟粉）
蔥粒適量、鹽少許、胡椒粉少許
調味料：1/2茶匙砂糖、1/4茶匙鹽、1茶匙生抽

做法：
1. 先把蓮藕去外皮, 切成薄件, 再切成幼粒備用。
2. 蝦米浸水切粒備用（如果用的話）。
3. 把豬肉搞碎，並加入調味料，搞至起膠。

Opening Hours: Mon-Sun 11am-11pm

we went there three times in a week (ran into friends 2 times).. guess everyone wanna try out this new restaurant.. (or they did very good at advertising..)

on our 1st visit, i ordered the Sizzling Plate Chicken Fillet Set 鐵板雞扒 $14.99.. the bread was still hot, i like it!! the whole dish was hot even after i finished 3/4 of it.. the black pepper sauce had a strong smell.. for sure it tasted good too..
for dessert.. they have chocolate, vanilla & green tea ice-cream..

LG had the House Special Baked Pork Chop with Rice 金牌焗豬扒飯$7.5..

for our 2nd visit, they had the wrong order, giving both LG & i the same soup base.. we had Yam Noodles "Buddies" Style 老友湯粉(番薯粉).. LG likes the soup base, it's sour & bit spicy.. we ordered the one with Lamb Brisket 羊腩 $8.5.. & the lamb was very tender.. however, i felt very thirsty afterwards coz it's too strong flavor..

on our 3rd visit, we tried Noodles "Guilin" Style 桂林米粉 $8.5, i like this one more than the "Buddies" Stye as this one is less salty, & it came with tomato & 酸菜.. slightly spicy..

we also ordered Shrimp Paste Fried Rice with Soft Shell Crab 軟殼蟹蝦醬炒飯.. it's very disappointing.. the soft shell crab was not cripsy, & the rice was too hard.. during that visit, the environment was so smokey.. not sure if it's becoz of the 鐵板餐.. & had a very strong "Buddies" Style soup base smell..

the food was pretty good in general.. they still have many other choices on the menu.. i guess it's worth a try..

Truly one of the most exotic paella flavours; rice & prawns, squid & fish cooked in squid ink
..i like this paella better than the Bomba one.. (maybe coz i like the squid ink sauce.. hee hee..) the seafood is fresh.. & it made us wanna visit Joso's..

during the meal, someone came up & played spanish guitar & a girl danced there.. entertaining the guests..

a very nice dinner.. it's a good experience to try something new..

韭菜餃

2011-03-30T11:06:00.013-04:00

Lamb Duo $26.95
Mint barbecue lamb shank and a double-cut marinated lamb chop, served with sweet potato fries
..the lamb chop tasted better.. the lamb shank was tender but without flavor.. but i liked the sweet potato with pint of salt on it, which made the sweet potato fries tasted better!

Cream Chicken Soup (in cup) $4.95

Key Lime Pie

2011-02-16T22:05:00.053-05:00

first time making pie..

(Recipe from: Joy of Baking)

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup (125 grams) crushed digestive biscuits
~~2 tbsp. (30 grams) granulated white sugar~~
5 tbsp. (70 gram) unsalted butter, melted
3 large egg yolks
1 can (300 mL) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup (120 ml) lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime zest

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F & place the rack in the center of the oven.

2. Mix together the crushed biscuits, ~~sugar~~, and melted butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a buttered 9 inch (23 cm) pie or tart pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.

3. In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks until pale and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Gradually add the condensed milk and beat until you have a light and fluffy mixture (3-5 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the lime juice and zest.

4. Pour the filling into the crust and bake for about 10 - 15 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Once it has completely cooled, cover and refrigerator until serving time. (The pie can be made to this point and stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.)

Penne Rusticana $13

蟹膏炒飯

2011-02-04T16:11:00.059-05:00

(食譜參考: 有個人......., Shirley@ 原味生活)

我用家裡現有的材料來煮這個炒飯.. LG 說菠蘿搶了其他材料的味道.. 下次要放多點蟹膏醬..

材料:
冷飯4碗
洋蔥 1/2個(切碎)
粟米粒(急凍)半碗
三文魚粒一罐
蟹肉(急凍)
菠蘿粒一罐
泰國蟹膏醬一湯匙 (Crab Paste)

做法：
1. 把急凍粟米粒放入滾水（開水）中拖水去雪味，撈起瀝乾水份備用。
2. 燒熱1湯匙油，以慢火爆香洋蔥碎，下三文魚扒粒丶蟹肉以大火爆炒至熟，再下粟米粒略炒，盛起備用。
3. 用少許油起鑊，下冷飯，鬆開冷飯炒，使每粒飯都能受熱。
4. 加入蟹膏醬炒冷飯，使冷飯平均沾上蟹膏醬的顏色，加少許鹽調味。
5. 放回炒過的三文魚粒丶蟹肉和粟米粒及洋蔥碎略炒，最後加入菠蘿炒勻便可上碟。

小貼士:
用來做炒飯的飯粒要夠乾爽, 所以煮飯時應比平常減少1-2成的水量; 而且飯粒要先攤涼(通常會放進雪櫃, 或用隔夜飯), 下鑊前隔着保鮮紙用手弄鬆

looking for good Ramen & came across this one @ J-Town.. it's a quiet but nice cozy restaurant.. not many choices re food (similar as Kenzo)..

we had 2 Ramen Set $12.8 each, including Ramen, with your choice of side & dessert..
LG & i both liked their ramen as the texture was right -- quite chewy.. not much ingredients though..

Soy Sauce Ramen
..served with hard-boiled egg, slices of tender pork, fish cake, red pickled ginger & scallions..

Tonkotsu Ramen (Pork Bone Based Noodle soup)
..i liked the soup base, milky & rich in flavor.. the sliced pork were tender but too small in portion..

Gyoza (3pc)
..the server asked us to mix soya sauce with vineger when dipping the Gyoza.. nice.. i especially liked that they were not "deeply" fried..

(right) Mitsumame (Canned fruits with a paste of Red Bean jelly)

如可　找個荒島
向未來避開生活中那些苦惱
如冬天欠電爐　雙手擁抱　可跟天對賭

無論有幾高　就如絕路
隔絕塵俗只想要跟你可終老
來跨出那地圖　不需好報　都只想你好

能共你　沿途來爬天梯　不用忌諱
中傷流言全悍衛
留住你　旁人如何　話過不可一世
問我亦無愧　有你可　失去我一切

＊幾多對　持續愛到幾多歲
當生命　仍能為你豁出去 (不轟烈如何做世界之最)
千夫所指裡　誰理登不登對　
仍挽手歷盡在世間興衰
幾多對　能悟到幾多精髓
能撐　下去　竭力也要為愛盡瘁
抱緊一生未覺累

前方　仍然大霧
到懸崖或海邊也許永不知道
能相擁到白頭　一起偕老　不跟天鬥高

前面有幾高　一片荒土
每步隨著攀登叫雙手都粗糙
從崎嶇這路途　開墾給你　可走得更好

能共你　沿途來爬天梯　黑夜亦亮麗
於山頭同盟洪海中發誓
留住你　旁人如何　話過不可一世
問我亦無愧　有你可以　拆破這天際
Repeat＊

握著手　而幸福包圍泥牆簡陋
牽著走　懷著勇氣至愛得永久
Repeat＊

幾多對　持續愛到幾多歲
當生命　仍能為你豁出去

朱古力杏仁曲奇 Chocolate Almond Cookies
(食譜來源: 五星級蛋糕甜品 by 黃耀文)

this was my first homemade cookies.. i think it tasted good & LG likes it!
have also tried making the 朱古力香片茶餅 with my sis, which it wasn't really succesful as it melted easily.. but it tasted good, esp. the 香片茶餅 part!!

Ingredients (50 pieces):
150g unsalted butter
150g granulated sugar
50g egg (~1 large egg)
150g almond slices
260 cake flour (sifted)
40g cocoa powder (sifted)

Directions
1. Cream unsalted butter & sugar. Pour in beaten egg. Beat until mixture light & fluffy.
2. Add almond slices. Stir well.
3. Fold in sifted mixture of cake flour & cocoa powder. Stir gently & just mix.
(Tips: Cookies will be too tough when dough is over-kneaded.)
4. Rub to brown dough with hands.
5. Line a piece of baking paper on a shallow tray. Press dough into a rectangle of the same height as tray.
6. Cover the dough with baking paper.
7. Use a rolling pin to roll over dough. Level surface to even height. Freeze until firm.
8. Take out. Peel off baking paper.
9. Cut hardened dough to rectangles of 5cm length x 2.5 cm width x 5mm thick.
(Tips: It is difficult to control shape of each piece if dough has not been sufficiently hardened.)
10. Bake at 175°C for 18-20 minutes. Take out & cool.

主唱：RubberBand

大力交波啦喂　全場靠我地
直射遠柱啦喂　非洲老死
技術稍稍過期　仍然愛獻技
爛地企滿鄉里　開波踢走悶氣

前鋒　天天搬貨八公噸　賺錢返老家喀麥隆
迷失　摩天都市紅綠路燈　放工先知老家地震
摰愛鄉親願可一一脫身

落力封波啦喂　無人理我地
大力掃腳啦喂　非洲老死
爛木屋晌隔離　球場租不起
盡力去當嬉戲　輸波欠些運氣

防中　出生加納某海邊　現專收手機與電池
新聞中千個流淚面孔　戰爭飢荒老家在痛
混在他鄉日子好比過冬

合力包抄啦喂　完場幾比幾
大力踢上啦喂　非洲老死
戶籍很多過期　日夜匿屋企
但是也要透氣　爭相看這大戲

街邊的幾個老叔叔　豎起手指紛紛稱讚
一輪咀呼喊杜奧巴　黝黑膚色太相像嘛
大大非洲認識只一個嗎

大熱天甩哂皮　如常收手機
後日轉冷天氣　管他凍死
十面家鄉國旗　龍門邊吹起
願望每個鄉里　今天掃走悶氣
願望每個鄉里　今天覺得完美

糖醋排骨

2010-06-10T23:46:00.010-04:00

糖醋排骨
(食譜來源: Kitty's網絡日誌)

嘗試用另一種方法煮糖醋排骨.. 今次的效果是排骨非常入味, 還有些變了豬軟骨似的..

材料： 1 湯匙紹興酒、2 湯匙生抽、3 湯匙白糖、4 湯匙鎮江醋、5 湯匙水、一字排骨（約600克）

做法：
1. 先把排骨切件，沖凈。
2. 把已拖水的排骨放入上述已煮滾的醬料中，再滾後，蓋好，慢火炆一小時左右。見汁收少至濃，排骨轉暗紅色，即成。上碟供食。
3. 最後加生粉水埋芡(如有須要)即可。

Tips from 香豬 :
無論用什麼容器，按上述比例將調味料混和煲滾，調味料要足夠浸過排骨。
要調味料滾才可以落排骨，利用熱力封實肉內的水份，咁樣煮出嚟嘅豬肉先會多汁唔嚡口。
排骨蓋上煲蓋燜煮時，記得不時攪動及小心煲乾。
如果覺得顏色仲係太深，可以只用半湯匙老抽。

蕃芝三文煎魚扒

2010-06-09T23:54:00.000-04:00

LG likes this as there are tomatoes & lots of corn!!

蕃芝三文煎魚扒
(食譜來源: 通之廚房)

材料: 三文魚扒1塊、中型洋蔥1個切粒、蒜蓉2湯匙、蕃茄1個切粒、急凍粟米半杯、車打芝士2片(Optional)
汁料: 茄汁3湯匙、糖適量、鹽適量、熱水1/3 杯、香草意粉醬1/2 杯

做法:
1. 魚件抹乾後用少去白胡椒粉, 海鹽醃10分鐘, 兩面再薄薄鋪上生粉
2. 快火落油(油要多點)起鑊, 先將魚扒兩面煎成金黃, 再中慢火將魚扒煎至8-9成熟, 盛起, 用紙抹去油份上碟
3. 快火落油起鑊, 用少許鹽爆香洋蔥至軟身, 再加入蕃茄炒香, 然後加入汁料煮透, 調好味, 熄火, 加芝士兜勻, 淋上魚件即成

Tips from 通少:
1. 魚扒一定要乾身, 否則就很難上粉, 煎也很難煎得靚
2. 魚扒不要反太多, 要耐心一點, 煎好一面先好反
3. 糖和鹽要隨自己口味加減, 好酸就減少點, 好甜就加多點
4. 魚扒不宜煎太熟, 因為餘熱會自然地令肉再熟一點但不會令肉身變老
5. 煎封兩面有助保持肉汁, 令魚扒肉質滑滑
6. 蕃茄會出水, 所以水不用落太多
7. 如不落芝士, 請用生粉埋獻

日式溏心蛋

日式溏心蛋
(食譜來源: yimtsimyan @ OpenRice)

忽然愛上吃雞蛋..

參考了這個食譜後，我的雪櫃內更經常會存有這款日式溏心蛋.. 真的很好味呀！

材料及份量: （2人份）
雞蛋 2隻
調味料: 日本豉油 1/4杯、味醂 1/4 杯、水 3/4杯

做法：
1. 雞蛋必須從雪櫃取出放至室溫，觸摸時完全沒有凍的感覺。
2. 用小鍋煮滾日本豉油、味醂及水，煮滾後轉至另一容器待涼。
3. 將雞蛋放入小鍋，加清水至完全浸著雞蛋，開火。（註：不要離開！）看到水滾了，讓雞蛋繼續煮3分鐘（註：必須計時！），然後立即將雞蛋取出放入冷水/冰水中降溫。（註：目的是不要讓雞蛋黃變成熟透，蛋冷卻了可以剝殼）
4. 將剝了殼的雞蛋放入已放涼了的步驟[2]的調味豉油中。（汁液必需完全浸著雞蛋） 5. 放入雪櫃冷藏兩天後即可，但5天後吃才是最入味最好吃的，請耐心等待！

雨過天陰

i like 徐偉賢's melody.. & the MV..

雨過天陰

歌手：謝安琪
作曲：徐偉賢 / 填詞：周博賢 / 編曲：Cousin Fung / 監製：周博賢

此刻相見　仿佛觸電　與你隔別後數年
於知己婚禮盛宴湊巧碰到如韓劇上演
當天的臉今天出現　似熟練但不安的友善　
尤掛已　閒聊後不知所措　兩雙手也在顫

＊大雨灑過後晴天　是老生空話志在哄騙
從上次吵架後不瞅不睬不見
彼此關係急促擱淺
若那天故事重演　讓惱火依稀沉澱
共你也許有幸較早以前　已組織婚禮盛宴　

想開口卻諸多不便
怕尷尬又面對面　不捨得這遠視線
仿佛借此同回味昨天
可惜經過光陰洗煉　各自有自己的新發現
兩心知　完場後終須分散
也許不再遇見
REPEAT＊

沒有等雨後晴天　未撲熄心火已話再見　
回望那天已埋下不可歸的線
交織今日這種緬腆
若那天故事重演　暫放低依稀顏面

共你也許有幸會於晚年
回憶分享這盛宴
