I know this is not exactly about food, but it is food-related…kind of…
I watched the movie ‘Julie & Julia’ yesterday night, and it was a light-hearted story about this woman with a dream – Julie Powell – who was stuck in a dead-end government job, but found joy and release from the pressures of work and everyday life by cooking…

As I mentioned in my previous post, I had an amazing dinner at Shin Kushiya last week. The piping hot yakitori reminded me of my trip to Hokkaido, when I was stuck in the van with some friends because the snow was too heavy, and we were eating hot bento lunches with assorted yakitori…mmmmm…

Conceived in the part of the mind (near the middle, slightly back, next to the section which stores Duran-Duran lyrics) where ideas sometimes seem to pop out divinely inspired, it is the consummation of one man’s love for food and photography (and writing).

Most people would recognise this as ‘otak-otak’…a local favourite which goes really well with ‘nasi lemak’ or between two slices of bread. Together with the spices, the banana leaf wrapping adds to the fragrance of the ‘otak-otak’. (Pssst…the secret is in the spices!)

Didn’t really have much time this weekend to prepare something major, so decided to do something really simple instead. And in case you are wondering, this has got nothing to do with equine ovaries (har har).
