Food Friday

InLinkz seems to be glitchy today...found out that it picked two featured players! No worries, happy to feature not one, but TWO yummy food posts for this week!

This week's Featured Food Friday players are ...

Ms. Kim, with her post Squash and String Beans in Coconut Milk, on her blog: @my tabletop.

I am a big fan of anything with coconut milk (usually) so this one definitely gets a thumbs-up from me! I haven't tried cooking this version (with pork), but would love to try it! I just love it when one basic recipe gets different variations. I believe that that's what cooking (and eating) is all about anyway:  it's a personal thing!

and

Ms. Oggi, with her blog post Matcha Daifuku, on her blog: I Can Do That!

I first tasted mochi a couple of years back and I instantly loved it! It reminded me of the 'kakanins/local snacks" we usually have at home. You know, the ones with coconut milk and/or sticky rice. I love mochi mixed in with yogurt, or paired with a delicate tea. I haven't tried making it myself, though. If you want to know how it's made, then go and check out Ms. Oggi's post; and see the different versions she made. You'll love it!

Japanese Food: my post for this week.
Nope, not my cooking. Though I wish it was. lol.

I have been craving for some hot ramen/noodles the couple of days and that's why when we got the chance to go out as a family this week (just the two kids and I), we had lunch in one of our fave restaurants, Kimono Ken. As usual, we just had to have hot gomoku ramen, kani salad, teriyaki chicken, sashimi, and kani tempura (last two dishes not in the pic). Surprisingly, no rice this time; and am glad, since we were full after we slurped and chomped everything down!

Food Friday

This week's featured Food Friday player is...

Ms. Dominique, who blogs over at Dominique's Desk, with her blog post: Beef Macaroni and Chocolate Cake on a Friday

Ms. Dominique is a mom with three kids, and her blog shares mostly about parenting topics. Since she is also interested in baking and cake decorating, well, expect to see some of that in her blog, too. Do click on the photo and let's know more about this lovely elementary school teacher, and what's keeping her busy these days.

Sorry, I didn't get to dabble much in the kitchen (except maybe fix a quick breakfast - oatmeal, usually - or to get myself a hot drink), since the past few days were quite busy and that left me less time to cook. Yup, we ordered and had food delivered or we ate out. Hopefully, next week the schedule would not be as hectic. Keeping my fingers crossed...

I'll be posting instead one of our fave food choices when we eat out: Japanese food. I think they are a bit expensive (the Scrooge in me taking over again, lol) but you just can't beat the fresh taste, as well as the fact that their cuisine is relatively healthy compared to some of our dishes. Some might not agree, but that's ok. lol. Am just happy my kids love Japanese food and the veggies that came with it! :D

This is what we'd usually order (just the two kids and I):

Forgot to take a shot of the other dish that came with that order, though. I think it was called crispy chicken (first time we tried it)...and we all decided we would order it again next time. :)
