A favourite treat
I am excited to go see my sisters in Vancouver next week. Not only to see them and the beautiful city that I love but also to eat some of my favourite foods. From the Bandara Salad from The Cactus Club Cafe to the best sushi I have ever tasted (keep in mind that I’ve never been to Japan… yet!) but one of the most unusual and really simple things that I love in Vancouver is the Japadog. Think a hotdog+japanese ingredients. This is something so brilliant that I’m amazed that someone didn’t think of fusing the tastes together a long time ago! 
Impatient as I am I’ve been counting the days until I can go visit a Japadog stand and, as I was telling my brilliant friend, Jess, about it she decided that she could make her own version of it and share her results with me.
The version that we made was with wasabi mayo (word to the wise, use a very little bit of wasabi powder if you’re making your own wasabi mayonaise) and Nori Komi Furikake (which is sesame seeds and seaweed). Just well cooked veggie weiners and fried onions made this a very good idea indeed. A great way to spend a saturday afternoon:
I have the bestest friend in the world don’t I? Thanks Jess for a delicious treat!
The World in Your Kitchen 2010 Calendar – China
Wow, it’s been a busy time. Everytime I wanted to make this dish there was something that came up. Either dinner plans, studying or just plain lazyness. 
So today I decided to not put it off any longer. This is supposed to be the February recipe from my calendar…. oh well, better late than never I guess.
This recipe is for Bei gu su or Tofu with vegetables. It’s a super easy stir fry! Literally, took about 20 minutes to prep and then about 10 minutes to cook, I think if you prep ahead of time you can have dinner ready in 10 minutes. And who doesn’t love that? Read more

Ko-re-a
After going for Korean food for my birthday I really fell in love with it. I did find that most of the recipes I looked at were really not that difficult so I decided to make a soup.
First, a little information about Korea: Korea is a formerly unified nation that’s divided into two states. It’s located on the Korean Peninsula and it borders China and Russia. It’s separated from Japan to the east by the Korea Strait. Read more
Next Stop… Fiji!
My father always wanted to go to Fiji. It was one of the things on his bucket list that he never got to do. I have wanted to go ever since I watched “The Blue Lagoon” and found out that it was filmed there, seeing that beautiful scenery and beaches makes it seem like a paradise. Now I want to go not only for the beaches but for the cultural diversity. With this recipe today I will travel to Fiji with my tasebuds. Read more
Brunei
One of my favourite foods ever is seafood. No matter how it is prepared (ok, scratch that, I really don’t think popcorn shrimp can be even considered a food)! I wanted to find a new recipe that I had never tried before. And found this recipe from Brunei. I couldn’t find all of Read more
