Italian Foods Gallore

Pasta Con Pomodoro E Basilico

This is the most basic and simplest cooked pasta sauce, hence it is the benchmark of a good Italian home cook.

Focaccia Bread

Fresh dough is topped with caramelized onions, olives, tomato slices, basil leaves, grated parmesan cheese and baked delicious!

Margherita Pizza

Fancy a pipping hot pizza, fresh out of the oven? One of the most loved Italian dishes.

Bruschetta

Country bread sliced and topped with different toppings - the evergreen tomato-basil and an inventive mushroom-garlic. The classic Italian starter!

Pasta Carbonara

This simple Roman pasta dish derives its name from 'carbone' meaning coal. It was a pasta popular with the coal miners. The original recipe calls for guanciale, which is pig's cheek, but since its not easily available, the chef has used bacon instead.

Panna Cotta With Raspberry Coulis

End your meals, the Italian way! A dessert is made with gelatine, cream and milk. Chilled and served with whole raspberries and raspberry coulis. Panna Cotta, in Italian, means 'cooked cream.'

Tiramisu - The 'pick-me-up' cake

The delightful tiramisu recipe with sponge fingers soaked in coffee, layered around and smeared with a creamy mascarpone mixture. The word 'tiramisu' in Italian means 'pick-me-up'. Owing to its caffeine kick it sure does!

Japanese Foods Express

Kamaboko Kani

Fake crab (Kamaboko fish sausages) 

Onigiri

This is a popular snack which is quick to make. It consists of balls of rice often wrapped in sheets of dried nori seaweed. In the centre is a marinated plum or other tasty filling.

Takikomi-gohan - Rice Medley 

In Japan, it is common to cook rice with seasonal ingredients, like bamboo shoots, green peas, and broad beans in spring; chestnuts and matsutake mushrooms in autumn. This version can be made throughout the year, and is most easily done in a rice cooker. The water reserved from soaking the mushrooms adds flavour and depth to the stock and enhances the aroma of the finished rice. This soaking water is commonly used in preparing stock and simmered dishes. 

Chicken Teriyaki

The sweet-savory flavour of teriyaki and its rich mahogany glaze have been universally popular almost since it was first prepared in Japan centuries ago. . . a simple mixture of soy sauce and mirin, a Japanese sweet cooking wine. The lustrous sheen of the sauce, after it’s cooked, inspired the name “teriyaki” or “glaze-broiled.” 

Yakitori

Having a drink while munching on freshly-grilled yakitori in a smoky bar is an all-time favourite diversion for the Japanese, particularly for those who want a snack to tide them over on the train home. Yakitori bars start to fill up at about 6 p.m. and stay open late.

Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki is perhaps the most popular Nabe menu in Japan. Thinly-sliced beef is cooked in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin along with vegetables and tofu, all cut in bit-sizes. It is typical to dip the cooked ingredients in a bowl of raw beaten egg before eaten, to add roundness of the flavour.

Tempura

Tempura is best when eaten soon after being fried. If too much time passes, the water in the ingredients will seep out and the batter coating will lose its crispiness. This is why tempura restaurants will often fry and serve your order a few pieces at a time, allowing you to enjoy it at its best.

Futomaki

A thick roll containing multiple ingredients. Common ingredients include egg, kanpyo, cucumber and mushrooms.

Korean Street Foods

Odeng (오뎅 – fish cakes) – At about 500 won a stick, fish cakes are the cheapest street foods you’ll find. They’re skewered on a stick and left in a delicious broth, which happens to be free with any order (not just odeng) and can cures bad hang overs. Put on some soy sauce to enjoy.

Cup chicken (컵치킨) – Add fried chicken to the list of Korean street foods that come in a cup. Of course you can’t be dining on a drumstick in the middle of street (unless that’s your thing). So instead, eat this popcorn chicken, complete with tatertots, fried rice cakes and Korean-style sauce. For a famous one, check out Hongdae’s HongCup.

Walnut Cakes – Walnut cake is another waffle batter-based street food. It is also filled with sweet red azuki beans. For this one, however, it wouldn’t be walnut cake without some of that good ol’ brain food, walnuts, packed inside. This is also another popular Korean winter snack sold around subway stations and bus stops.

Egg bread (계란빵) – Egg bread (aka gyeran ppang) is a popular winter street food in Korea. It features a whole egg inside or on top of some bread (or baked waffle batter). The egg is complete with both white and yolk. It’s the breakfast of champions! (Or… people late to school.)

Tteokbokki (떡볶이 – spicy rice cakes) – Rice cakes in a spicy red pepper paste sauce. And the bright red color should be warning enough of how spicy it can be (depending on where you go). Don’t be intimidated if you only see junior high school girls giggling over rice cakes. Head over there and get some yourself. It’s equally loved by both kids and adults.
