2008/8/7 Hiroshima is famous for its own okonomiyaki. O-konomiyaki written お好み焼き in Japanese is a dish made of flour coated with sauce and mayonnaise. o-konaomiyaki can be translated in to [fry as you please]. I  am not sure what makes a normal o-konomiyaki being different from Hiroshima o-konomiyaki, except for all the vast amount of veggies and ham added to it.  I captured Hiroshima o-kinnomiyaki being made at the Hiroshima station.

Singapore has one of the most delicious cousines, with chinese, malay and indian mixed. Today I am going to introduce you to the famous dish of chilli crab. Sri Lanka , which is famous for its nutrition filled sea, is contributing to this dish by exporting giant crabs. According to the Singaporeans I met, a good big Sri Lankan crab may cost several hundred dollars. Little crab dishes could still costs up to 10singapore dollars. I would like to recommend the Chili Crab dish as a must if you are in Singapore.

So do you like Durian?  Well What do you hate in Durian,  the smell, the taste or both? I had the chance to taste Durian for the first time in Japan at the Thai Festival 2010. Durian the king of fruits has a very smelly taste. The taste is sweet and the smell adds to the taste. Most of the people around could not help the smell. The prices of Durian varied from 1000 to 3000 yen. I captured some shots of how to serve Durian at a Durian shop. All Rights Reserved.

15/05/2010 It was after spending the evening at Thai Festival 2010 in Yoyogi,Shibuya. The dinner was decided on "Nabe" at a shibuya chain restaurant of Japanese hot pot. I have always loved nabe. I have had shabu shabu hotpot, sukiyaki hotpot and seafood hotpot at Japanese houses and this was the first time I am having it at a restaurant. So I thought of sharing some moments of the supreme happiness of eating Nabe - the Japanese hotpot. Beef, eggs and the vegetables  The whole table of ingredients for the Nabe in one shot Shabu shabu and sukiyaki on one hotplate finally you dip the boiled slice of meat in the "tare" and eat. This chain restaurant is in Shibuya and limitless "tabehoudai" for less than 2000yen. Good service and loved the meat.   All Rights Reserved.

16-21/02/2010 Thai Food!!!!! Since I spent five days in Thailand , it was confirmed that Thai food will be a favorite food of mine forever. It is close to the Sri Lankan taste, yet hotter and sweeter. I decided to post about the Thai food since I first ate it in Thailand. Of course , this was not my first  time I`m having Thai food. I have been to Thai restaurants several times in Japan, but it is different when you eat the original food in its original hotness in Thailand. 1st Day I was too much in to eating on the first day, that I completely forgot about taking photos. That night it suddenly hit me that it was unjust to ignore Thai Food in my blog in all its means. So from the next day onwards, my camera was the first to catch the first glimpse of the meals once they were served. 2nd Day Lunch                    Boiled prawns with a sweet pastry cover  and Fish fried with some g...

30/10/2009 The five young Sri Lankans at the Shokugyou Nouryoku Kaihatsu Sougou Daigakkuo planned to throw a Sri Lankan food stall for the University Festival 2009. What they were going to sell was the next problem and the final answer ended up with Kottu and Cutlets. Kottu of  all?? Nobody had any idea to make Kottu except for this one brilliant guy, who is called "The Chef".We went shopping a week early and started making the Kottu from 8 o`clock in the early morning after a long night of the earlier day spent on preparing the cutlets.  First we started with making the flour rotti. First put some flour in to salty water and make a batter. then make little flour balls and later flatten them very thin on a oily heated pan. This will result in a rotti. Make rotti using 1.5 kilo of flour to make kottu for 70 people or more. That`s what we just did. Then cut them in to small pieces with the maximum length of one inch. This is the hardest part of the whole Kottu business. ...
