With an excellent cook like my dad,  who is willing to cook for me even after I got married and most importantly greatly enjoys cooking, I guess it has been my most powerful excuse for not having to cook. 

So, with home cooked dinner mostly prepared by my dad, we hardly have to worry about our daily meals. When we had our domestic helpers, my dad  imparted part of his culinary skills to them and then I have more excuses not to cook again *keke*.

I am so lucky to have two wonderful men who pamper my stomach *smile*.

Yeap, special thanks to my dad for those delicious dishes and Papa Ed who is generous in giving us frequent treats to delicacies *yummy*. 

Actually, Papa Ed does not prefer me to cook or dirty the kitchen BECAUSE he would have to clean up *hehe*. AHEM! I think the truth is the food I have prepared must have tasted real awful!

So, when weekends arrived, we would continue our dining adventure.   

I have posted earlier that our boys have a growing appetite and we can see Brendan’s face light up when he tries out food that suits his taste buds. Otherwise, he would repeat “Nice, Nice, this one leaves for me okay?” AHA! This means “I have reserved this food. Please do not touch” *lol*. 

Actually, Brendan has been quite adventurous when it comes to food except for some food types that gave him bad experiences before.  It has always been a joy trying out new food eateries or restaurants with our boys *smile*. Just see the leftover food stuck on Darren’s face and excitement on Brendan’s face. And I know it is all worth trying *beaming*.

Lately, Brendan has the crave for UDON.  Papa Ed has special preference for SUSHI and sashimi when his appetite fails for all other food. For Darren, he is all ready to eat when it comes to RAMEN. So, here we were at the Japanese restaurant Sushi Tei.

How can dining at a Japanese restaurant be complete without these spices, sauces and GREEN TEA?

roe chawanmushi

sashimi rice

Brendan’s and my favourite :  soft shell crab (somehow, Brendan has inherited Papa Ed’s and my craving for crabs)

Steaming hot and tasty : udon in claypot, with Tempura, half boiled egg (another of our common liking), mushroom and chickens

Another dish that Brendan and I would fight for : Haha! Our all-time favourite terriyaki grilled squid. The one who wins the snatch? Brendan of course! Actually, I surrendered :)

Darren likes it plain and simple : soupy ramen with his favourite soft-boiled egg. Of course, mommy gladly gave up her chicken and narutomaki to him too

The “clam” Japanese ice cream

Fortunately, Brendan is beginning to enjoy food just like me. I must say it is a pleasure to have a dining experience with company who enjoy food just like us. Thinking positively, I should thank my gastritis condition because at least I am a willing sacrificer now when it comes to eating less and giving up food portions *smile*.

Talking about food, my friends and I are often debating over these : Do We “Eat to Live” or “Live to Eat”? I believe for food lovers, you would go for Option 2.

Haha! What do you say?
