is my calling. I knew it.
It took me just ONE (1, ichi, satu, yat, yi) day, to perfect the fineness of the mentaiko dream dish.
This time, it tasted like rice (although still abit watery, but you could call it, rice.) (Or at least watery rice, instead of porridge. No doubt.) (Or so i hope.)
It’s called the Ocean Dream Donburi.
Ingredients:
Mentaiko
Tempura Prawn fried to golden brown
Rice
Japanese Mayo
Wasabi
Black Sesame
Seaweed
I cooked half the mentaiko this time. Pan fried. Awesome.
Although i cheated because the tempura prawn was frozen ones. But i knew this is my expertise. I am going to quit blogging and become a world reknowned mentaiko expert, get interviewed on whatever cooking show, give my divine advice, become a zillionaire, and donate money to the endangered wild life organizations and save global warming and rescue poor Tibetan girls with long hair. Thanks.
Today, i am going to do something really exciting, like, really. But i can’t tell you what, because if i do, either i’ll have to kill you, or you’ll feel like you will have to kill me.

That is damn awesome Rin. The presentation is great too.

blood cubes, HB, blood cubes in hot pot.
Huai Bin how comes nowadays you not in Australia, but others including me (sometimes la, the previous entry got) suddenly migrated to Australia.
now i seem to have “flown” back 😐
I bought a small box of mentaiko today and had it with a bento box.
I couldn’t really taste it and I wondered if it was really mentaiko. T-T
You prolly had the fake mentai (ebiko in mayo), or the mentai super diluted with mayo, is that right?
I doubt it. There was this (i don’t know where in, but somewhere in Japan) fair at Isetan and I think it’s pretty authentic!
Two small pieces for about $30 SGD?
I didn’t cook it whatsoever, though.
It tasted like chilli powder.o.o
I bought mentaiko after u kept on posting about it and had it with sushi rice, not so special leh.. its just salty taste only… Costs me AUD9.08 for 2 tiny piece.. from a Jap grocer.
Yay!!!! Join the Mentaiko expert Club!!!
Looks good! (Hehe, probably because you arranged it better this time :P) Wish I could try it…
Hey Rin,
Just a question. What do you think of the new season of Malaysian Dreamgirls and the Top 12.
You prob dun give a fish about it but it wud be interesting to know your opinion. =P
Hello! Well, i dont really watch it. A bit trauma still.
hi rin,
i must say ur mentaiko posts had inspired me to try them! they were addictive! i got them from Japan Centre in London for £7.67 for a tiny box of 7. =)
YAY!!!! JOIN THE CLUB!!! 😀
