Japanese Potato Salad - Attempt 1

Yesterday, i obtained a Japanese Potato Salad recipe from my manager:) So i thought of giving it a try! Let me share my experience in preparing this dish.

Its quite easy to prepare, i guess the worst part was the potato skin peeling process +_+'''
and i didn't know that i should have boil the potato with their skin on... geez, blur me...
Anyway, i manage to get the potato skin off and place them to boil for about 17 to 20 minutes.

Besides of the main ingredient - Potato, carrots and green pea were required as well :) those were a piece of cake comparing to the potatos (as in the preparing process)... they too need to be boiled through around 5 to 7 minutes.

After all the boiling, I drained out all the water for the potato, and start smashing it! TIRING! then I started to put in the first round of mayo to the smashed potato. Ahhem... Not any Mayo can do the job, as i was told the most recommended Mayo to be used for this dish is the Japanese Mayo - Kewpie. Nonetheless, you could still go for other Japanese brands as you prefer :)

Then place the boiled and rinsed with cold water carrots and pea into the potato, and start adding the second round of Mayo to it. This round, I gave the salad a pinch of salt and pepper to spice the flavor more! Then continue to mix the potato, carrots and peas until they look like they are nicely blend into one.

TADA! & There you have it! Japanese Potato Salad :)

Yum Yum! :)

*Practice makes perfect, I'll have my second attempt this coming weekend, good luck to the guinea pig at home to judge my improvements... hehehehehe :D*

My Hobby Tool Box & New Collection

I got myself a portable box to fill all my yarns and tools for my knitting hobby!

I can't stop knitting hats when i learned how make them... But as we always said, practice makes perfect! :D for now, i've made 2 hats, the first 1 was not so nice... but it was a good try... the second 1 looks nicer, but i think i can excel the first 2~ hehehe....

Happy Birthday :)

14 March was my special someone's birthday... and in order to surprise him, i made a birthday cake for him :)
Its his favorite chocolate cake! Of course i needed my mom's guidance on making the cake, cause she's the expert in this field.
And after hours of learning and steaming(steaming?! yup! its a steam cake)... Tada! there you have it! A nice chocolate cake just for him! :D
It was all suppose to be a surprise, but I was worried that the cake might not look the same after traveling back to Singapore, so I decided to show him the cake before we start the journey.
And luckily I did, because when we reached home in Singapore, the cake was melted in a way... :(
I was so sad... but he said he loved it anyway, because its the effort that counts :) hehehe...
Luckily he said so... at least i know that my thoughts and actions are appreciated :)
