I pass three cafés between my place and the gym. It's too much temptation!!! And today, I lost the battle to a gelato! 🍨 🍽️ Gelato: Mango and Yogurt The gelato was actually a bit crystallized. I guess that's a blessing in disguise, because it won't be as tempting next time? 🤷‍♀️ #Food #FoodSky #Foodie

A cone with two gelato flavors (from top to bottom, mango and yogurt flavor) with a crispy waffle cookie.

🍽️ Ketchup fried rice with sausage A quick, sweet, and slightly sour dish! I also put in some black pepper because I don't eat things that sweet nowadays :P #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

🍽️ Japanese mixed rice: Chicken, edamame, and shio kombu (salted kelp) I’ve realized shio kombu is such an easy way to season things! I first got it in a care package, but now I’m looking for a way to buy it as a regular part of my pantry stock. #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

🍽️ French toast Reminds me of childhood weekend brunches. The only difference is that, unlike when I was a kid, I no longer sprinkle sugar on it quite as generously as I used to :P #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Three slices of French toast, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon powder, are served on a white plate.

🍽️ Gelato: Mango and Yogurt flavor “Sarà per sempre sì” (It will be “yes” forever) An irresistible gelato! The mango is quite sweet and nicely mimics a very ripe mango. Ordered yogurt as a safety if the mango was too sweet. It wasn't bad, but didn't leave much impression 😅 #Food #FoodSky #Foodie

🍽️ Japanese mixed rice with Korean soybean sprout side dish The Japanese mixed rice is only lightly seasoned this time; most of the flavor comes from the Korean soybean sprout side. I like adding edamame for more color and texture! #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Japanese mixed rice with chicken, edamame, and enoki mushrooms, served with a Korean soybean sprout side dish, in a white bowl.

🍽️ Chilled shrimp and bell pepper salad + Gratin potatoes The recipe said to press sliced potatoes together and pan-fry them for a crispy, layered texture. Instead, they went their separate ways in the pan! Still good, just a deconstructed version. #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Chilled shrimp and bell pepper salad with shredded gratin potatoes on a white plate.

Hit another 1k posts 316 days later! Took a little longer this time around. I guess being busy means I have less time to ramble online :P I'm super curious why the "k" is in lowercase on my laptop, but uppercase on mobile, though 👀

🍽️ Stir-fried onion with beef and tororo Cut the steak into smaller cubes today. Found out I prefer it this way much better! You still get that satisfying, meaty bite, but it's easier to season and to eat. #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Stir-fried onion with beef, raw egg yolk, and tororo, served over white rice in a white bowl.

🍽️ Sushi ✨ Ordered sushi as an incentive for working out. But it arrived early, right in the middle of the workout! Now it’s just sitting there, tempting me to quit!! Photo: The culprit in question (along with some instant miso soup) p.s. I didn't finish the workout #Food #FoodSky #Foodie #Sushi

The ideal Cantonese clay pot rice looks like this! Supposedly, it is with Chinese cured pork belly (the darker one) and Chinese sausage (the red/pink one). The Chinese sausage is made from minced lean pork and distinct chunks of white pork fat. It has a sweet, savory, and aromatic flavor.

🍽️ Mimicry of Cantonese clay pot rice Out of a craving for Cantonese clay pot rice, I tried making it with Italian luganega sausage instead of Chinese sausage. It wasn't terrible to eat, but flavor-wise, it was definitely a failed experiment 😅 #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Mimicry of Cantonese clay pot rice with Italian sausage, luganega, on top, served with white rice seasoned with soy sauce and black pepper, sprinkled on top, in a white bowl.

🍽️ Curry udon Pretty tasty if I do say so myself! 😋 The curry sauce turned out a bit too thick for udon, so I’ll definitely dilute it with more dashi next time. And I need to practice making onsen tamago! #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Japanese chicken curry with carrots, with a half-cooked boiled egg on top of udon, in a white bowl.

🍽️ Cheese egg sandwich A piece of cheese and a raw egg were placed between two slices of white bread and cooked in a hot sandwich maker. Great for snack :D #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

🍽️ Tororo udon The soup is made with bonito soy sauce and hot water. So, the only part I had to turn the stove on for was while cooking the udon. Great for summer in my opinion :D #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Seaweed flakes, bonito flakes (simmered, smoked, and fermented skipjack tuna), chopped scallions, and slices of yamaimo surrounded the tororo, and an egg yolk was served on top of udon in a white bowl.

🍽️ Japanese chicken curry ✨ No-potato edition ✨ Not that I have anything against potatoes, it’s simply because I found out mine were secretly growing into plants in the corner right before I started cooking (ˊ_>ˋ) #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

🍽️ Nabe Onion, carrot, Napa cabbage, and bacon + water → 30 mins → A quick nabe! Season with pepper & salt. Most flavor comes from the veggies and the bacon. Replace the water with the stock for a richer flavor. Tofu for an extra protein boost! #Cooking #HomeCooking #CookingSky #Food #FoodSky

Nabe, a Japanese hot pot, featuring Napa cabbage, onion, carrot, and bacon, served in a white bowl with tofu and some black pepper.
