Pizzaman (Japanese Steamed Pizza Buns): Halal Version
•
I’ve always loved Japan and so many things about it, the language, the culture, and of course their food. Japanese konbini or convenience store food is practically a whole unique segment of Japanese cuisine, and one of their most fascinating food items is pizzaman (a contraction of the words ‘pizza’ and ‘manju’), literally a…

Chicken Miso Ramen
•
Rudy loved Japanese food. He missed sushi the most, as consuming raw/ undercooked foods was not advised when undergoing his treatments. As much as we could we still tried to have our Japanese food fix, and ramen was one of the things we wanted to have more of.

Japanese Meat Buns (Nikuman)
•
I’ve always loved Japan, their wonderful country, culture and food. Oftentimes when I visit a konbini like Lawson or Family Mart I’d stare longingly at the selection of steamed buns, especially the nikuman, and wonder what they taste like.

Korean Dumplings (Mandu) In Soup
•
Kak’mbang really loves her Korean TV shows, just like a large population of the world today. Every now and then she sees people on TV eating dumplings in broth, and the dish does look really yummy. So, recently she asked me to make our own pork-free version, and I based it on a great recipe by Maangchi. Trust…
