Food, Food, and More Food Thread

Went out to dinner on Sat. night with friends. We ended up having seafood - I had what was called in the menu "Panko Prawns" which was prawns coated in Panko and deep-fried (YUM) as an entree, and then we shared a seafood basket - more prawns, crab, fish, calamari, grilled baby octopus, smoked salmon and fries, with salad and fruit. YUM again!

The seafood basket was under $30 and fed 2 of us. Great value :)

I once had a panko crusted duck katsu with an apricot katsu sauce. Love the texture of panko on fried foods.

Sounds like a variation of tempura... And a great deal. :thumbsup:

Hmm, with Triky MIA this thread has taken on quite a bit of water... :sweat:

new Shinsengumi in Monterey Park combo shabu shabu, yakitori, jfood... is kind of a bust. higher prices than Gardena. Food is average.

At least the jumping is providing some amount of exercise. :beaten:

Shinsengumi restaurant? If the cook screws up the food, does he have to commit seppuku? :rofl:

Three new foods I'm enjoying:
Instant Jajangmyeon
Gimbap
Sun Dried Tomatoes

I guess they haven't screwed up yet: no news reports. :beaten:

Eating fire roasted tomato and olive oil Triscuits... Not bad.

A little salty, but not bad. :victory:

I'm going to a friend's house this Saturday and we're going to have a cookie baking party and we're also exchanging recipes. I need ideas on what kind of cookies to make. Preferably nothing too common. Any ideas and recipes would be appreciated. :D

Make cookies that won't spoil when you send them to me. :beaten:

Haha, I'd send you cookies if I could. But it would all depend on if you've been naughty or nice. :angeldevil: Btw, you haven't given me any ideas... :puppydog:

I'm always nice. :rolleyes:

Not that big of a cookie eater, but I like the simple stuff: chewy chocolate chip (NO nuts) cookies, chewy oatmeal raisin or cranberry (NO nuts), thumprint cookies with raspberry jam....

My sister-in-law makes this variation of chewy chocolate chip cookies that have Rice Krispies in them: Awesome flavor and texture. :thumbsup:

That's too bad because if you were naughty, I'd give you more. :naughty:

So...I shouldn't add any nuts then? :beaten: I was actually thinking of thumbprint cookies, but they seemed boring. And I was planning to make oatmeal cookies (possibly throw in some raisins too and maybe maple or cinnamon chips) anyway.

I still need ideas, so please help me, jdorama fans!
