Matcha (Green Tea) Ice Cream

i've got this crazy green tea ice cream cravings lately.. the taste is refreshing, not-too-sweet and creamy, makes you wanting for more, more, MORE!! green tea ice cream goes very well with red bean, mochi and spongecake (as in parfait).

so far, only 3 places managed to satisfy my cravings!

they are:



Zipangu @ Shangri-La KL (btw, their buffet is EXCELLENT!!! fresh air flown sashimi 3x/week from Japan)
Jalan Sultan Ismail, KL
03-23022388

Kampachi @ The Pavillion (also @ Equatorial Hotel) i thought the food was so-so, their dons and bento sets were not bad. but the sashimi wasn't very nice. the soba was disappointing. i reckon the one at the hotel is better. most ppl tell me that. but their green tea ice cream? rocks my sock!
The Pavillion
Jalan Bukit Bintang

Sun With Moon (the food here was okay. the standard taste you can find at any decent japanese restaurant)
01-70/71/72 The Central @ Clarke Quay , Singapore

p/s: i think emily@cyin's format of food review is good. haha.. i think we shld stick to that :)

Mini Sardine Puffs - in an attempt to revive the blog.

all of us lives away from home, chasing our dreams.. cooking seems like a hassle sometimes. here's a quick and easy snack to make!! :) you know why it's so easy?????

the answer is right before your very eyes!!! yes.. pampas puff pastry! the greatest invention, since.. mobile phones :P


the filling is as simple as ABC!!

all you need is:
a can of sardines (in tomato sauce) - mashed
half a big onion - thinly sliced
chilli - sliced (you can use chilli powder instead, if you want)
juice from one big lime

for the glaze-beat one egg with 1 tbsp milk

sauteed onions in 2 tbsp of oil. add mashed sardines, chilli and lime juice. bring to a boil. cool mixture.

(alternatively i saw this new ayam brand spicy lime canned sardine which can be used as a substitute - the simple solution!!)

preheat fan-forced oven to 200 deg C. cut a rectangular piece of pastry say 4X8cm. place filling in the centre, fold in both ends. glaze the top of the pastry. bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
