Curry, curry how we love thee.

This is THE Hainanese Curry.

A crowd favorite of my pack. They will literally eat this every day, if only i'd say yes. 😂 (if they knew how close i was about to crumble & give in too!)


At long last, after endless requests, I got to make this tempting version at home, with the taste ~exactly like Encik Tan's.
My boy, while having it for dinner, gave it an 8️⃣, then a 9️⃣, then finally "Can i give it a 🔟?", he asked. 😂 just kept tastin' better & better, no? 😅

And we shall hail it the Golden Week (of Curry) ! 😍

The braised cabbage complements the curry sauce perfectly.

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗  Ingredients  3 potatoes, boiled &  roughly  mashed  1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn,  1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗  Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
