Food!! Glorious Food!! May

May 2007

This was the entree at a little Italian restaurant in Nagasaki.


And the main meal of tempura fish and couscous.


This was the best meal in Nagasaki- tender steak with a spicy sauce, salad and pasta. It was from a restaurant called Soul heart cafe!


This is famous Castella cake from Nagasaki and its green tea flavoured - it is so good! Especially with ice cream!


Tina and I both make good banana cakes so we thought it was time to try her oven. It is a small oven which also works as a microwave. We managed to work out what ingredients we needed, considering they are in Japanese! We cooked it and it turned out really well just a bit burnt on top. So we let it cool and then tried to cut it - it was rock hard!! But it had only just turned hard, we soon worked out that we had the oven on the microwave setting! Oh well we will try again soon!


Making Okonomiyaki at Tina's house.


Okonomiyaki (savoury pancake) and gyoza (dumplings) cooking on my cool grill!


The finished product! Okonomiyaki is really good and is definitely one of my favourites!


This lemonade is really cool as it has a marble in the top which you have to push down so you can drink it. It tastes yum too! (You can buy this from the central markets in Adelaide.)


I bought this melon simply to try it as it looked so different! It was really nice but tasted like normal watermelon!


Onegiri (rice balls) on the BBQ!


Can't go to the baseball and not have a hotdog and chips!


I bought a Hello Kitty cake as it was so cute! You only had to add 3 tablespoons of milk to it! And you cooked it in the microwave! This is what came in the box - the mixture and a cake tin!


You cooked it for one and a half minutes in the tin sitting in the box!


And the finished product! It was just enough for Tina, Jodi and I!! (Well a very small piece each!)

The banana cake didn't turn out so well but at least we made up for it with the hello kitty cake. We will definitely have to try the banana cake again. That oven isn't going to beat us!!
