Changed the picture. Lure and Il terrazzo

Yes, I changed the picture of my blog title.

This pasta is from Il terrazzo in downtown.
I don't remember the name but I remember it was lemon cream sauce and use prawn.
I always order same one.

This is from Lure restaurant in Delta hotel.
I love their view. It was my birthday (Xmas time), I think this place is really good for anniversary staff.

9 and Dine!! @Royal oak golf course

I didn't expect such a good food for just a 9 and dine at 9 hole golf course considering how cheap they are.


The choice was
Stake,
Pork chop,
Chicken breast,
Salmon,
Prawn,
and Today's special (was Souvlaki)

I got stake and they were so soft and goood, came with the veggie stick. And you can have salad and bread as much as you want.

5th Street Bar & Wood Fired Grill

Chipotle garlic rubbed pork loin chop $15.00

I wanted to go this pub for a long time but I didn't pick here just because... but I am really grad to be here this time.

Because of the location, I thought they are not very busy restaurant but once I opened the door I notice I was wrong.
It was different world! Full of young to old people, so busy, lively, smells so good!

Of course we had to wait to be seated. While we were waiting, we had beer at their bar counter. (That was the only seat we could stay.)

Mushroom cheese cake $5.00

I wish I could take their kitchen pictures. I just loved their opened wide kitchen. Running fired meats??

Fire-grilled buffalo burger (with Caesar) $10.00

Their foods are so cheap, I don't know how they can keep their food quality. Taste, presentation, quantity, everything is so good.
Gochisousamadeshita!

American Kobe beef Tataki $8.25
(Japanese people hate to call fake Kobe beef as Kobe beef. It's totally different.)

Sorry for taking break to post Victoria restaurants for a month.

In Victoria, I don't know any good Japanese restaurant. If you are Japanese, your cooking is way better than Japanese restaurant in Victoria.

Oh I shouldn't say that, I have a few restaurants I haven't try yet.
Chikara sushi, in the strip mall, I heard so many people saying they make the best sushi in town.

some buns...

Sorry, I haven't been to any restaurans, just baking.
I know it is boring.

Anyway,


Wednesday is gonna be my baking day. Also! golfing day...

"Saint Germain Tendresse", the bakery in Nagoya, I got a really really good brioche from this bakery.
They put custard and chocolate chips between the brioche dough.

I couldn't forget that... and I made it. It doesn't taste even close! I will try with defferent brioche dough.



This Wednesday, I got a friend came over to bake with.
It was the first time to bake buns for her but she did really good and I guess she liked it.

We made some cinnamon rolls and Japanese sweet bean paste buns.

Hamburger buns, Gratin buns

Today was baking day.
I had some hamburger left overs from last night dinner and I made prawn gratin for my husband's lunch.
Sometime when I have dinner left overs, I use them for buns.

Here is direction how to shape left over buns.

Spread the dough and use cookie cutter just like the picture.



And you put anything you want to put inside on to the circle part of dough.



The other part, you spread and make long ring and twist it and make it double.









Now, just surround the left over.
Don't worry if the bottom part and the ring part doesn't touch each other, it will stick when it grow anyway.


This time, I put ketchup and cheese on the top of hamburger.

Canoe Brewpub

I wish I had one of the keg.

I feel like I hired models to take that picture... They look good.

For my partner's birthday, we went to this pub.
It has nice harbour view, and totally nice and big inside.

As usual, I ordered a humburger. I don't know when I started to have humburger all the time. I used to not. Very tasty one.
And my husband, he ardered something different this time.


I tried to try, but I was full so I don't know but he really liked it.
I still like butter chicken from Sanuk (which already closed restaurant),
but you know, I am Japanese.
I don't know real Indian taste yet. I have to try real Indian butter chicken one day.
