Eggs bennys over a mexi hash.
Eggs are farm fresh organic eggs. I found it kinda weird how the whites didn't really wrap around the yolks, but rather stuck together very tightly by themselves.
It was... different.
Yolk was yummy though.

Took way longer than expected to get the beef stewed properly, but totally worth the effort.

What do you use for ramen noodles? I can't find ones I like and I'm not committed enough to make them myself.

I've been trying out random stuff at T&T, H-Mart and Fujiya.
My guests seem to have an overwhelming opinion in favor for the vacuum packed noodles from Fujiya. While everybody finds it acceptable, I feel dirty serving some that isn't fresh made.
I've recently had a chance to try the ramen at Burdock (same at Harvest Union) and it's everything I was looking for. Bright yellow color, very toothsome and holds up to cooking. Had a chat with the chef and apparently they source from Toko on 7th Ave. So I ordered a case from Toko. Will update as my opinions develop.

so when are you openning up a restaurant?:ifyouknow::tears:

Culverin 05-27-2014 08:41 PM

I've started doing a suggested donation for dinners to help me out on costs.
Since it's my home, I want to keep it a happy, safe and fun place. No cray crays :D
So I'm just keeping it recommendations only.
Only friends and friends of theirs that they can vouch for.
If you know people who have been over, just ask them to bring you.



More things I have cooked before...

Dang it - I've tried the same places as you with nothing I like.

Look forward to hearing about your results from toko!

Ronin 06-02-2014 08:48 PM

The only real flaw to your ramen is the noodles. Broth, meat, toppings, all good...but we need better noodles.

JHatta 06-02-2014 09:02 PM

Culverin, I need to know...is this all done in your home or are you using a restaurant's kitchen? Want to post pics of your setup regardless?

Ronin 06-02-2014 09:35 PM

It's his house. There's a stove and a fridge on one side, a sink on the other and a metal island in between.

Spot Prawn Ramen
Some leftovers tom yom broth from steaming mussels with coconut milk.
Add spot prawn broth I made from heads.
Blanched spot prawns.
Fried head.

Baby arugula from the garden.
Sliced radish and persian cucumbers.
Nori to finish.



This was my first test with noodles from Toko
I'm rather happy with the noodles. Enough chew and bounce.
