It's quite chewy and got strong fragrance of rice, not everybody's liking.

Mama Pan

Went Mama Patisserie @ Square 2.
Used to the name 'Mama bakery', wonder if owner is still Japanese as the range of bread looks more like just as same as local bakeries.


I tried Onion & Vegetable bread, stated that 'no sugar, no milk and no butter'.






Nice to eat as Sandwich then =)

2) mix all marination ingredients in the microwavable bowl, microwave it for 30 second.
3) heat oil for middle hot temperature, deep fly chicken wings and lotus root for 2 - 3 mins till golden colour. remove oil from them, add to 2) immediately. leave about 10 mins for marination.

shiu-chan is always looking forward to Mr.Kou Kentetsu recipe @ MSN Japan =)

Mugita Komugi

Heard that there is a Baumkuchen shop opened in Toa Payoh.
Well, head down there to try =)


They mention Japanese blar blah blah...
I didn't know Baumkuchen in Japan is so popular...haha.

Baumkuchen is known as Germany cake, introduced in Japan by Germany pastry chef Karl Juccheim
and 'JUCCHEIM's baumkuchen is famous.






It's light taste and not so moist. If you are looking for really what you can eat in Japan, it is not the same. What I sometimes eat is very moist and rich in butter.
