Cooking shows on TV

Who am I...?

An ex-journo and former techno phobe from Singapore living in Tokyo, I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries in 2006 and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. Now, I'm a blogger on the go who runs an online beauty biz from wherever I might be. I never thought I would ever morph into a web chick - but here I am.

This blog is about...

...The ups and downs of expat life, trailing partner issues, food, travel, and Japanese culture. It's a way to keep in touch with friends back home and all over the world, plus it's a corner for me to showcase my work. But really, I'm just a restless spirit looking for great adventures and fabulous food.

Cooking shows on TV

I am watching a cooking show about deep-fried ebi (prawn). I love the food shows here because, being the greedy pig that I am, it’s a delight to learn more about washoku (Japanese cuisine) and the stuff displayed always looks lip-smackingly deliciouso.

This one has a Kenny G lookalike gaijin chef who spews perfect nihongo. He seems to love jamming speedy chords on his electric guitar while beating the batter for the ebi. Weird ass. The old dude who’s the show host keeps going, “Sugoyi! (amazing)” I don’t know if they are hoping the ebi will turn out more beautiful because of the frantic riffs. If it was a soufflé, it’ll fall into a shivering heap of fear.
