Mother's Homemade Kaya Jam Recipe
I have this homemade kaya recipe from my mother while she made kaya jam last Sunday. The ingredients used are very simple but I was impressed with her patient during the cooking process. It was really time consuming to make the delicious kaya. You need to stir the mixture continuously during the cooking process in order to get the smooth texture kaya.
Manneken Belgium Waffle | Japan
I love to eat waffle especially when the waffle just comes out hot from waffle maker and waffle with peanut butter is always my first choice. I have even tried to make my own waffle with my sister in law's waffle maker which bought from Cosway. My homemade waffle didn't turn out as good as those sell outside. To me, good waffle should be crunchy outside and soft inside. Of course the taste should be delicious too. Recently, I get to know about Belgium Waffle after my first try in Osaka Railway Station, Japan. The strong fragrance from the waffle store caught our attention. We bought a piece of plain waffle which costs 126 yen (about RM4.50). The Belgium waffle was very crunchy and tasted heavenly!

BIG Lobster at Red Lobster | Odaiba, Japan
Last few weekend, I had a trip to Odaiba with my colleagues. That was the fourth time I visited to Odaiba, a man made island in Tokyo. It is one of the popular tourist spots in Japan, famous with shopping and entertainment district. Rainbow Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Aqua City and the Palette Town Ferris Wheel are few famous spots in Odaiba. Of course that are not the all in Odaiba. While we walk around Aqua City, we found a restaurant that is serving lobster. Looking at the display set, it was so tempting. With a reasonable price of the set, we decided to give it a try. Display set We order the set "Golden Roasted Canadian Lobster & Juicy cut Steak" which costs 1974 yen. The set came with soup, rice and BIG lobster & steak set. (I am not sure was that size consider as BIG but I am sure it is much more bigger compare to prawn The steak has nothing special and tasted normal. But in overall, the set was delicious. The lobster was juicy and it tasted like prawn and crab. I like it! I like it!! I like it!!! Juicy lobster, 美味しい "Hello, I am Mr. Lobster" Completely eaten by me, kesiannya... Alive lobsters in front of the restaurant waiting for kill Our bill, total of 5922yen for three person I would recommend all to visit Red Lobster in Odaiba, as you can have a beautiful view of Rainbow Bridge and Statue of Liberty while enjoying your meal in the restaurant. You can visit their website http://www.redlobster.jp/ for more information, they have other branches besides Odaiba. But the website is in Japanese.| Dinner at いろはかるた Izakaya 居酒屋| Kyoto Japan |

Since it is a place for drinking, many Izakaya provide drinking buffer (飲み放題 "nomihoudai") package. If you are to order a set package, many of them come with appetizer, main dishes, salad, dessert and some side dishes. The drinks are buffet type and you can choose from soft drink, wine, cocktail, sake and others. Most of them are alcohol. I have visited to many of the Izakaya during the stay in Japan. Most of the times were attended farewell or welcoming party with Japanese colleague. I have no chance to take good photo during dining with them. When we travel to Kyoto, we had our dinner at one of the Izakaya, Irohakaruta Izakaya at Kyoto Japan. This is the time to capture as many photos as we can. Yuh Huu!
Irohakaruta Izakaya We ordered a dinner set with reasonable price of 2980yen/per person. The set came with appertizer, main course and side dishes.

Inside the Izakaya (photo taken here) If you have enough time to spend in Japan, I would strongly recommend you to have a dinner at Izakaya to experience the Japanese life in Japan. You will notice that over here, the laughing and chating voice will temperary cover their pressure and busy life style in Japan. Of course, you have to get ready to change all your clothes and take a bath after arrive at home as your body will be very smelly with smoking and drinking smell. For more information about the shop, please click here and the menu can be found here . You can visit any of the Izakaya in Japan, most of them serve delicious and fresh food with different variety in food.
