I love Food Safari in Malaysia Safari one

     Malaysia is  smorgasbord of most of any Asian food and Arabic food.  Typical malaysian food with lots of meat, fish and vegetable cooking.   Nyonya food, Chinese, Taiwanese,Korean Arabic, Indian, Pakistan, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian,kopi tiam and so on...                                                                                          
There are flood of food courts and full of variety.

Not just variety but also the style they cook are unique,too.

Every year I see many restaurants near by  my friend's place and what amaze me is an improvement of the quality.
Of course some restaurants  betray us in taste, but we keep trying to find something new and good.

Mum"s food

I introduce many foods here including sweets, people may think I eat those foods all the time.                As a Jiriki navigator (Self movement healing), I follow my master's teaching about intake of the food.  I attended 3 days raw food seminar at Makino,Japan , the result was so fantastic.
My digestive system collapsed at one stage of my life, and I was struggling to get it right.
Since I started Jiriki, my health has came good.

I want to see how my body will change by keeping raw food diet for a while.

I am not a vegetarian or vegan but naturally I am not into meat so much.

But you know, I enjoy eating good stuffs , so why not having those mum's home cooking when I
can have!!!!!  Every food I had were so delicious and  thus Japanese cuisine is No. 1 for me...

Lots of seafood and spring veges.

 Dried Nishin (herring) marinated, Fuki vege. underneath, Hokkaido sea urchin (top right)

Hairy Crab!!!!!!  King of the crab

Sitting in front of the screen, I am thinking of which photos of my holiday do I put on.

Last year a friend from Sapporo mailed me a magazine is called "HO".  They had a special edition of  noodles,most of them were about Ramen. And this restaurant was on the cover page that has struck me.
The restaurant opened in 1955 as Kobato Shokudoo and it became a relaxing eating place for coal mine           labours .  The interior we see in the restaurant are from that era... TV, sawing machine, school chairs and desks,  toys and radios, so on...

Ramen stock are made of vegetable, chicken and pork , and Shoyu(Soy) ramen soup is their only flavor.  Located in Kuriyama, Iwamizawa.

Soup is not salty neither heavy ,and has strong yet mild taste,
Pork belly chaashuu (right) is simmered for 7 hours ,
cannot hold by chopsticks, it is so melty
