Crème Brûlée・クレーム ブリュレ

お久しぶりですね＾＾
Hi everyone! :> It’s been a while!

Today I’ll be sharing a recipe I found on Crème Brûlée (down…), the French dessert, but with a Japanese take on it. This is for all you Amélie fans out there.

Dorayaki・どら焼き

This is a typical Japanese dessert/street food that consists of two small pancake patties with a filling of red bean. For all those who have watched Doraemon・ドラえもん, a popular Japanese cartoon, good on you, a pat on a back. Dorayaki is Doraemon’s favourite food and unfortunately he gets bribed with it all the time. I understand his sentiments because I am also a major fan of dorayaki, especially the red bean. We can be dorayaki buddies.

Here’s our favourite Doraemon nom nom noming away at his pile of dorayaki. As you can see, it is so sought after that the other characters have carved a hole in the ground just to steal some.

For all those who have not watched Doraemon, your homework for this week is to watch it.

Curry Rice・カレーライス

In my spare time I read recipes in Japanese (yes, I do that as procrastination). Therefore, I’ve decided to translate recipes for you, my friends, so everyone can learn Japanese and cuisine all in one go! Har har. Aren’t I a smartie one?

Today’s recipe is curry rice. Yes, although it is supposed to be a Western dish, it was introduced in Japan during the Meiji era and it has become super widespread nowadays. You can find it in supermarkets and restaurants all over Japan now. Unlike Indian curry, Japanese curry normally has a milder flavour and it has a sweet taste to it.

Eri and I tried this recipe a while back, but we sort of ad libbed the whole process to serve two people ☆～（ゝ。∂）. I must say, curry rice is one of those recipes that even two baka teenage girls can’t mess up, therefore it is virtually i-have-never-cooked-a-day-in-my-life-proof. If that makes sense.

Meet Fresh ~ Taro Balls

デザートが欲しい～　I feel like having dessert.

It was only last year that the super duper awesome Meet Fresh opened in Australia. As an all Asian desserts fan, my eyes were glued to the new dessert stall for quite a few months. The taro balls, their specialty are handmade and they taste super nomilicious in a subtle kind of way. On the super plus side, the desserts are all healthy, some incorporating pearl barley and herbal jelly on the side, which means

On a fine sunny morning, we lined up behind the crowd to meet it in fresh.
