| On 28th June 2009, the Social Committee organized the 2nd Japanese Cooking Demonstration at PAAM’s office attended by members and their families totaling 26 attendants. This is the 2nd time that we had cooking demonstration on Japanese food. The 1st cooking demonstration was held in year 2004 whereby the making of Sushi, Chawan mushi and tempura were demonstrated. As for this year, we had the making of Chawan Mushi, Okonomiyaki (Osaka Style) and Bento (Japanese Lunch Box). All the recipes are of traditional Japanese origin. The 1st cooking demo was by Mr K.T. Khor (our Assistant Treasurer). He demonstrated the art of achieving a “soft & smooth” texture of the chawan mushi. After the demo, everyone got to taste a cup of chawan mushi. Mmm, yummy were some of the comments and some even had a second helping. The 2nd cooking demo was by Ms Miki-san & family (Japanese Hippo family Club). She demonstrated the method of making traditional Okonomiyaki (Osaka style) using Japanese yam as a portion of the ingredients mixed with flour to make the dough. Several Japanese ingredients were added to the dough and then fried without oil. Wow, the smell produces was beyond words. Once the fried dough mixture was done, the top was spread with okonomiyaki sauce, spring onion (chop) and bonito flakes. The bonito flakes were so light that you could see them dancing on the okonomiyaki. The best part was EATING a piece of the okonomiyaki. OYISHI, ICHIBAN. Needless to say, everyone was grinning from ear to ear. The 3rd cooking demo was by Ms Sazae-san & family (Japanese Hippo family Club). She demonstrated the art of preparing Bento. Bento is a meal box with an array of rice, vegetables, fruits beautifully and creatively made into shapes of faces, flowers, animated characters, etc. for the Japanese children to take to school for their lunch. Unlike Malaysia, there is no canteen in Japanese schools. Everyone is so amazed by the creativity of Ms Sazae-san and her patience (as it is so time consuming). This tradition of packing food into lunch box called Bento. | ||||||
