Japanese dinner


I have been wandering around a few asian markets and got more obsess with Asian ceramic dinnerware. I seriously enjoys collecting kitchen items and figured it's time to starts with Korean and Japanese dinnerware.  I've got a few so far and I love it... just a little problem is that our place is quite small for so much stuffs!!!! So my Husband was generous enough to share his tea room so I can put them up as display and storage as well! (That means I have more room to shop now lol)

So today I made Japanese food... My husband was never really a fan of Japanese food, more on the "I rather eat a loaf of bread instead" kind of attitude because being a vegetarian, there's not much of a choice and the items that are available at restaurants are simply just veggie tempura.  But today was a surprised exception, he said it's really good and would definitely want to eat again.  He pretty much ate EVERYTHING I made today! He even asked if I would make it again so he can invite his friends over for dinner!!!! I almost flipped! LOL

A Korean movie! LOL a little lame I know but whatever ...

Have you ever seen The Naked Kitchen?

I LOVE the scenes at the beginning of the movie where she made those beautiful food!!! And the scenes of the house! It's everything I love! I'm not so thrilled about the synopsis but I just think that it has beautiful pictures!

Korean Food!



Tried out Korean food yesterday and it didn't disappoint! =) 
I've always ordered Japchae and always thought it was hard to make since it's so delicious! Now I know that it's not hard to make ...more like "EASY" and scallion pancakes was also great! 

I got the recipe here! 
Japchae

Onion Pancake

Much easier than you thought right? 

I bought other small side dishes: Kimchi, kimchi cucumber, seaweed, and squid!  

I also made veggi bibimbap - stone rice bowl for my vegetarian husband! =)
