Food Friday: turning Japanese

sizzling tofu with chicken and mushrooms

I love Japanese food! From sushi and sashimi, teriyaki to tepanyaki, kakiage and tempura, ramen, salads to donburi, i love 'em all. Aside from it's elegant and minimalist presentation, traditional Japanese diet is no doubt one of the healthiest in the world. My friend/dinner buddy is not very fond of Japanese food so we seldom go to a Japanese restaurant when we're together. But I was able to convince her last week to eat at Rai Rai Ken as I was craving for sizzling tofu. I also ordered gyoza, a Japanese-style dumpling, and this Seafood Hotpot...and S liked it. Unfortunately, my friend's favorite foods are spicy spare ribs, grilled pork ribs, lechon macau---all tasty but potentially deadly. So I'm teaching her to eat sashimi, sushi and tofu. Wish me luck!
