Here's a little peak into the Japanese inspired dinner I hosted.
Most of food by me. Outsourced a bunch of the grunt work (yay minions. hehehe).
IfUCare handled the ten zaru soba.
Most photos by Ronin (watermarked).
Other photos by random friends.
Kumamoto oysters, mignonette, horseradish
Albacore tuna tataki. Homemade pozu. Kaiware, shredded carrot and daikon.

A play on combining various Japanese ingredients.
- Ajitsuke tamago (the soft-boiled marinated egg you get on ramen)
- Edamame puree
- A reduction of the braising liquid from my aka miso tonkotsu char siu
- Shichimi to finish (the 7-spice chili powder condiment commonly offered with udon)
Served on toasted Chinese egg bread.
Royal miyagi oysters, scratchmade shallot aioli
This is how I do motoyaki.
Maguro sashimi, sliced.
Served over shredded daikon and shiso leaf
You just don't mess with a good thing.
Caesar salad, a very non-Japanese offering mid-meal.
Dressing from scratch (but I didn't need to tell you that did I?)
Anchovies of course, bacon, garlic croutons, shaved parmigiano reggiano. Did you know this is actually Mexican? --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_salad
Nope, stupid archaic Canadian liquor laws. Can't import them in if the government doesn't allow it.
I've been trying to bring in YEBISU beer line for YEARS. No such luck. The liquor board has all but ignored me completely now lol...

Soto Ayam
Indonesian chicken soup.
Similar spices to Indonesian curry, but brighter and more licorice-like flavors from the anise, heavy use of tumeric and Chinese celery.
I grew up with this as a special treat from my eldest aunt.
Apple Galette
Apples, puff pastry, ice cream. What's not to like?

Bone-in Kurobuta Berkshire rib chop
Fried Rice
炒飯 (chow fan) with day-old leftover rice, high heat for 鑊氣 (wok hei), seasoned well enough to standalone.
Each component must be done justice.
Deep Fried Pork Chops
Brined in #花雕酒 (shaoxing wine), garlic, Worcestershire, soy, white pepper.
Egg wash, panko.
Repeat (for a double thick coating).
Fry until golden brown and delicious.

Chili con carne
Hand chopped brisket finger meat, toasted whole cumin then ground.
Aged sharp cheddar, Greek yogurt, chives from the garden, sourdough.
love it. that pork chop on rice.. always wanted to make it at home but always a pain to deep fry inside. Usually do it on the side burner of my bbq. Been creeping your instagram page, so awsome
