Human-Powered Bike Blender (Health is Wealth)

Mama’s dry curry is her Japanese version of an Indian curry. It’s dryer (less wet) curry, with similar consistency to a beef bolognese sauce. It’s great to eat the day you make it, or the next day, and it’s a great dish for a potluck! To make Mama’s dry curry (she improvises it, so here [...]

Annette’s german-style homemade meatballs with potatoes and bechemel cream sauce.

Maximilian’s is our favorite currywurst stand in Berlin, Germany.

We went into KaDaWe a department store our moms would love. After scoping out the different choices for a late lunch, we decided on the one traditional German spot in the food court (which was a dream come true). The recipes prepared potatoes in different ways. We had a Bitburger beer with our potato pancakes and [...]

We waited in line for a pretty long time to see German B-Boy crew Flying Steps perform to Bach at the Neue Nationalgalerie museum in Berlin, and although we found out the show was completely sold out (we were very bummed), I was able to document the entire thing from outside (the audience was prohibited from taking [...]

Our friend welcomed us our first night in Amsterdam with a really delicious homemade feast, including appetizers (green olives, aioli, salami, crostini topped with salami and tomatoes, etc.), roasted chicken, asparagus, and a very yummy fennel pastry puff (i hope i got this vegetable right).

Right around Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, we found a perfect place to eat döner kebab! It was my first time trying it.

We tried the Döner im brots (which is German for “Döner in bread”) and enjoyed them with Erdinger Weißbräu [...]

We got a to go order from The Cheese Board (or Cheeseboard), a pizza collective in Berkeley, CA. We had their “pizza of the day,” and it was made pretty simply with delicious ingredients, and we enjoyed it in the car while it was still hot out of the oven. I’ve tried their pizza once before; [...]

My favorite spot to get vietnamese sandwiches is Cam Huong in Downtown Oakland’s Chinatown. I like their barbeque chicken sandwich, which is stuffed with vegetables, like carrots, cucumbers and cilantro, and sliced and pickled daikon-like radish. It’s a little bit sweet and tangy. I’m pretty allergic to taro, but I love their taro dessert with [...]

An old friend recently made homemade guacamole and tortilla chips from scratch. He quartered a stack of tortillas, poured a generous amount of oil into the pan, and fried them up. He layed them over napkins to cool and dry. Beforehand, he prepared guacamole with a few avocados and a dash of salt and pepper. [...]

We walked from the Latin Quarter to Le Marais. The Latin Quarter is near the Sorbonne, and it’s full of amazing little streets, full of patisseries or boulangeries and even, a French deli, that you can see above. We stopped for fresh pressed juices from the Sugar Plum Cake Shop which was the perfect place [...]

An engagement (konyaku 婚約) is a very special celebration indeed. There are several dishes with ingredients that symbolized longevity (like the mochi) and happiness (symbolized by the chrysanthemum).

One of the most majestic experiences of my life was spent in the gorgeous pool of the Hakone Hisui with my grandma (祖母), as she swam quietly back and forth.

Next time, I want to try [...]
