Recipe • The Versatile "Italian" Meatballs

Image
Today, I am going to squeeze a few recipe ideas into one post, using 1 main ingredient... Italian Style Meatballs Or should I name it,  The Versatile Meatballs ?(≧▽≦) I love the texture of these homemade meatballs! Durum wheat semolina flour replace breadcrumbs, together with milk, it results in a softer meatball texture that's not dry. Lil K is very fussy when it comes to minced meat and yet he liked the meatball meals I had been serving him, that means this recipe is for keeps! And Mini K had been reminding me that he loved "Mummy's meatball pasta"! But don't worry, the recipe ideas at the end of this post are not going to be all pasta dishes in different sauces! Afterall, the K-bros are Japanese food loving boys, I must vary with Japanese food recipes! So, let's get started on the meatball recipe now!

Travel • Shiro-Hige Cream Puff Shop (Dec 2017)

Image
This is a quick post of our visit to Shiro-hige Cream Puff Shop last December, which is also known as Totoro Cream Puff shop. There was some construction along the way from Setagaya-Daita station then. However, you won't miss this TOLO signboard. While we were not the biggest fan of this character from Studio Ghibli's animation, we still put it in our itinerary simply because "we were already in Tokyo and we missed it on our previous Tokyo trip!" (*_*) FOMO? Whatever. Anyway I booked us a visit to Suntory Brewery  (⬅Click to read more) that afternoon, since the route was pretty straight forward from the cream puff shop, I decided to put these two on the same day. Ain't they adorable? It was well worth a trip to this tiny bakery, unlike some character cafes which served gimmicky food, these cream puffs were big and delicious! We bought their regular flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry & Vanilla custard (Or was it Chocolate, Green Tea & ...
