Five rings

To celebrate 5 years at Midtown Roppongi.

Cute.

Quite possibly one of the best Tonkatsu in Tokyo

I ate at Tonki in Meguro the other day. We have a visitor from LA and decided to have dinner there.

My best guyfriend loves this place and was shocked I’ve never been before.
When I crave tonkatsu I usually go to Kimukatsu in Ebisu. They have multi-layered millefeuille tonkatsu in different flavors such as garlic, black pepper, cheese, etc. yum yum

Tonki has been around forever I guess and it’s a family run business. You can order fillet (leaner) or loin (fattier) and they also have kushikatsu.

I ordered the fillet, and while it’s not like your typical tonkatsu, it was GOOD.
No wonder people love this place. The crust was super crunchy and the meat was soft and juicy.

Cleaned up my plate and will be back for more

Nihonshu Club 2012

Chobimay — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:14:05 +0000

Went to the first gathering of the Nihonshu Sake Club this year.

I can kiiiiind of drink sake now thanks to the members that trained me. lol

I used to hate even smelling it.

This time I only tried 3 out of the 7, but I liked the 3rd one from the left the most.

I prefer the sweet kind rather than the dry ones.

All bottles were empty by the end of the night.

Looking forward to the next one

My bestfriend wasn’t feeling too great last week,

so being the pseudo-boyfriend that I am

I went over to her place and made her congee.

really simple stuff, but so so good.

I wasn’t sure if she had rice at her place, so I bought ready-made rice. (saves a lot of time too)

chicken congee:

boil water and add chopped chicken in a pot.

I used thigh meat. (breast meat and fillets will become too tough)

you can use chicken with bones as well.

add rice

add chicken stock

add a pinch of salt

simmer over low heat with the cover on until the congee becomes thick

boil bokchoy in a different pot or frying pan and add sesame oil after you drain the water

add green onions and a little bit of soy sauce before eating

done and done.

Made spaghetti and meat sauce for the first time…by request.

It turned out pretty good.

meat sauce:

chop up carrots and onions

sautee in olive oil with ground beef/pork

pour in a can of chopped canned tomatoes

grate 2 cloves of garlic

season with salt, pepper,

simmer over low heat

oh, I added a little bit of ketchup too.

To color or not to color…

Bringing my skin back to life

Chobimay — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:56:35 +0000

I’m on DAY 11 of a new skincare regimen.

It’s a year and a half long program, and I’m pretty excited as to how my skin will change

I’m only using 5 different products (4 in the morning and all 5 at night) including facewash.

No toner, just different kinds of serums. I definitely see a change already and my skin feels so soft! I’m on a mission now. haha
