It has been a while since the last time I took you with me on my gastronomic trip. Let’s visit Lapin Cafe, one of my favourite restaurants in my hometown, Chiangmai. Last year, I have blogged about Lapin Cafe a little bit, when tumblr was used as my main blog. I have kept postponing writing about this restaurant although it is my favourite restaurant that I most visit. You might be wondering that why I have not written a lot about Lapin Cafe. In fact, I have not actually written a blog post dedicated entirely to Lapin cafe because I did not have any good picture of either the food nor the place. I usually visit Lapin Cafe during evening time so there was not mush light for photo taking. Finally, last week, I had a chance to have lunch at Lapin Cafe. Finally, natural light for my photo!

Kazokutei Japanese Restaurant, Chiangmai

Today I will take you with me on my Japanese food journey in my hometown, Chiangmai. Last week, I went to an authentic Japanese restaurant named Kazokutei Japanese Restaurant. I have been here many times during last year. I can say that this restaurant serves authentic Japanese food because this is a restaurant that this is one of the restaurants that are popular among Japanese who permanently live in Chiangmai. I notice that 90% of all customers are Japanese.

My List : Tea Time Embroidery Art

Good morning…!

My sisters and I were mostly brain storming about our new house that we are planning to build during the past week. Pinterest has been one of our major brain storming tools. When I was pinning interior design ideas this morning, I stumbled upon super cute ideas to decorate my future house. I have found very cute embroidery patterns that I really like to make to decorate my future kitchen.

DIY Love: New Year Hamper Idea - Fresh Vegetables in Baskets

Fresh Hydroponic Vegetables in Baskets ... Happy New Year

Hello!
I hope you all had a great time during New Year holiday!

I spent lots of time delivering fresh hydroponic vegetable hampers to my relatives and clients. It is our family’s way to say happy new year to those we love and say thank you to those who has been kind to us. I was struggling in finding the perfect hamper to give to them for a while. Finally, my friend gave me an idea which I really like.

This year’s gift idea was a success. All of the recipients were impressed by the vegetable hampers.

So, basically, my new year was pretty much meeting friends and catching up with relatives. Oh …I love these moments! :)

Cooking Journey: Beef and Pumpkin Japanese Curry

Beef and Pumpkin Japanese Curry

The month of pumpkin has past. Even I have posted a pumpkin recipe during the past month. As I have seen on many of my favorite food blogs during the past month of halloween, many pumpkin theme recipes on those blog inspired me to try many of them. So, I ended up buying so many pumpkins and butternut squash. As I result, I have several of them left. Lately, I have been quite busy with my work and my baby so I had to cook something that need less time to prepare and cook. After seeing me flipping through my cookbooks, my husband told me that he wanted to eat Japanese curry. How did I miss that? This is a great great recipe that I can definitely use all my pumpkin and butternut squash. I can make a big pot of curry and the curry will be my dinner for a couple of days. Hooray!!!

Japanese curry is a dish that require short time to prepare. Japanese curry has been long time favorite dish that I have cooked for my husband since when we were dating back in college. In fact, Japanese curry was the dish that I cooked for the first dinner that I had with his family. My husband’s family loved it.

Japanese curry is such a fun recipe to make because this Japanese beef curry can be adapted by using other types of meat and vegetables. Besides the ingredients of regular Japanese curry, this time the special extra ingredients are pumpkins and butternut squash.
