Salmon roe

Different ikura put on small pancakes.

Salmon roe, large reddish-orange individual spheres.

Sushi is rapped by ikura.

Took lots of seafoods recently, I like seafood. Salmon is the fish that I often eat, which is good for healthy due to the fish's high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D content. Salmon is also a source of cholesterol, with a range of 23–214 mg/100g depending on the species full of protein and omega-3.

I like to eat ikura with rice, otherwise it would be too salty for me.

Hokkaido's fish could enable me to eat one more bowl of rice :)

Hokkaido's fish and seafood are another attractive thing to me in addition to flower and air in Hokkaido.

きびなご Kibinago is a small fish closely related to sardines and anchovies, is the member of round herring family....one of my favorites fishes with the taste of vinegar, sesame, little salt and a little sugar. As long as they are small fishes, I love them. Small silver fishes with salmon or Mentaiko 明太子 could enable me to eat one more bowl of rice :)

Fish v.s.Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai.

The word "fish" in Chinese pronunciation is the same as the word "surplus".

To gain safety and luck, Chinese people especially during the new year will speak of good words and get a red envelope from the adult.

Fish is every family must eat on new year's eve, it symbolizes the coming new year will be better.

In my childhood, I love to eat braised fish, though now like the food in light taste.
This is the sea bass with salt and pepper, steamed for 10 minutes, and then put on some lemon slices, chili, green onion, coriander, pepper, with few garlic thin slices.

Seasoned and mix with red snapper, this is the fish I made often.



Put into boiling water for several minutes, seasoned and mixed with lime leaves, lime juice, salt, pepper, chili.

Salmon with onion and capperi is my most frequent favorite dish.

Year ends with ample surplus is just a saying, a good saying with a fish can bring people the power.

In the same time with this Chinese New Year, I also through the fish pronunciation to wish all the bloggers a very ample surplus year, good health with good fortune, and wish all the Chinese friends a very happy Chinese Lunar New Year. 恭喜發財 Gong Xi Fa Cai.新年快樂 .

Home-made Salmon steak and Norway dream

Always eat salmon in restaurant or hotel, after recent inflation, I would buy a piece of samon as fish steak, which has always been the plan in my mind.

On Sunday, went to the market and bought some salmon, vegetables and fruits.

Fried both sides of salmon into golden yellow color, it smelled great, after a while put mushroom in together.

Has always been wanted to learn cooking, learn some Italian food, Thai food, Lebanese food. Other than the time factor, tuition fee isn't cheap at all, thus it has postponed. Could be only self-teach and self-develop. :)

In UAE, met Mr/s. Gjerde, very nice Norwegian, they asked me if I know about Norway. Their asking made me very happy bucause Scandinavia is the place I've expect to go as I took Scandinavian Airline from BKK to SIN several times during business Asian trips, I didn't want to get down the plane, rather I prefer to take long flight directly to Norway. As I replied Mr/s. Gjerde that I like Norwegian salmon very much, they were happily laughed.

Have myself a little Merry Xmas

Used to thoughtfully consider several Xmas presents to give to friends.
Successively received gifts from friends, while myself hasn't buying yet. On Sunday morning went to department store, slowly selecting from 1st floor.




I love to give books as presents to friends, or perhaps books are my own favorites. Whenever a hardcover book is given by friends, it will always make me happy. Have spent a long time in the bookstore and bought a Jamie Oliver cooking recipes. He is an adorable chef as I love his quick speedy cooking with nutritious recipes as well as natural attitude. It's my first choice when I select books as gifts. Subsequently, I bought a hardcover travel book---500 of the world's greatest trips by National Geographic.

Chocolate is also my favorite choice when give friends gifts, just like thick sweet friendship.

Crystal...not bad. When in Dhahran, a friend gave me a chubby crystal fish, I love it and can't let it go out from my hand. That crystal fish also accompanied me to several countries upon job.

Watercolor, crayon and acrylic color is also my favorite choice since myself loves painting.

I hope all my friends are happy when open the gifts from me. Tomorrow will be another day to continue gifts shopping.
