Hey Wout, I like what you did with your blog, the lay-out is nice and simple, so it’s easy to find the way around your site. The contents of your site are interesting as well. Especially your food facts, they were really creative little ‘did you knows?’. Apart from that your favourite restaurant intrigued too. I’ll be sure to visit it one day. As for the other items on your site, the recipe seemed pretty good. Same goes for the post about your favourite food, I might try it one day. Overall, definitely a really entertaining and interesting read. That wraps up my comment, keep up the good work.

One of the presentations that stood out was Milan’s presentation about virgin boy eggs. Appearantly it’s a chinese delicacy, now what are virgin boy eggs you might ask. Well, virgin boy eggs are eggs that were left soaking in little boy’s urine. Preferably under the age of ten. The mixture is set the boil, and when done, the eggs are placed back in fresh urine, and the process is repeated. This process is to let the eggs ‘cure’ in the urine. Different herbs might be added in the process. And when done, is sold out on the streets. Even though this is seen as a delicacy, the idea of eating eggs soaked in urine doesn’t seem that appetizing to me. Although the presentation sure did teach me more about other cultures, if someone were to offer me a sample in real life i’d surely politely decline.

As you might have guessed from all the previous posts, my favourite dish is something along the lines of the asian kitchen. I’m talking about Sushi, in general. I love how you can taste lots of different flavors, all with the same concept: some specially prepared rice together with some other ingredients. These other ingredients include but are not limited to: Raw tuna, Raw salmon, Surimi, Cucumber, Avacado, Soy Sauce, Dried Onions and so on. Because it’s pretty hard to tell you all the recipes for these types of sushi. I’ll just talk about the preparation of the rice in general.

The recipe:

Make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils ready, to make sure you have everything, tick off the checklist on the following site: http://www.makesushi.com/how-to-make-sushi-rice/

Now for starters get the sushi rice vinegar ready, and then get your rice cooker, or if you don’t have one a regular pot will do, ready. If you’ve done that then got to washing the rice, about 80 grams per sushi roll that you want to make. Make sure to repeat the washing step untill the rice is completely starch-free. If you’ve completed this step then get to cooking the rice in either a pan or the rice cooker. If you’re using the pot, use 120% water of the rices weight. E.g. for 100 g of rice you use 120 ml water. Let it soak in a bit and then put a lid on the pot, boil it for 4 minutes and let it rest a bit again. If you’re using the rice cooker, put the rice in a sieve (with holes small enough to prevent rice passing through), hold it benath some water once more and let the water drain out. Then put the rice in the rice cooker. This time use 150% water. E.g. With 100 g of rice you’ll have to add 150 ml of water. Close the lid and lit it cook for about 10 minutes. When the rice is cooked, scoop it with a wooden spoon into a large bowl. Add 20% off the sushi rice’s weight of sushi rice vinegar. So if you have 100g of rice, use 20ml of sushi rice vinegar. Gently stir with the wooden spoon. Next let the rice cool untill it reaches body temperature, at this temperature you can create the sushi rolls the easiest. And that’s that, now go on and be creative with making sushi rolls.

Hello, my name is Robin, sixteen years old and from Belgium. I’m creating a blog that talks about various foods, and which I like and dislike, some quick facts that most people don’t know about food. Lastly I’ll also talk about my favorite restaurants and what they serve.

It’s a bit difficult to choose my absolute favourite restaurant because I like lots of different dishes, but if I really had to make a choice, I’d have to say the Asian Fusion restaurant located in Maasmechelen. It’s a unique type of restaurant that combines all asian cuisines and is also a variant of a all-you-can-eat restaurant, so you never leave feeling hungry. A few examples of what you can eat here: Sushi, Tepanyaki, Thai soup, Siu Mai and many othet things. Although my personal favourite is the Flamed Salmon Nigiri. Which is more simple then it sounds, as it’s really just raw salmon, flamed and then put on a bed of rice together with some soy sauce and crispy onions. And even though it’s a simple craft, it tastes really good. So in conclusion I think this is a great restaurant to have your fill, as it has many positive points, like a grand variety of choice and an all you can eat offer. You definitely should come visit this place.
