Buta no kakuni










Japanese braised pork belly with tofu and eggs. So simple, yet so good with a bowl of hot rice. My mother had cooked something similar to this. Maybe that is why I enjoy eating this dish as it reminds me of my mother's cooking.

Reflecting how it was when I was growing up. I did not think I would enjoy cooking as I thought the process was too tedious and time consuming. I was never a picky eater and everything is as good as the last meal. As I grew older, if not heavier, trying a new and unknown dish is always an adventure for me. This is always true when I travel to a new place I've not been. Aside from researching the places to see, I also would find out the local favorites. Eating street food is one way of starting your food adventure. Research where the locals go and you would new go wrong.
