A while ago I promised Charlene that I would cook her a 5 course Japanese meal if she did well on her exam that she took in HongKong.
So in the end it became a...
"welcome back from Hong Kong/You're done with exams/Happy Birthday"
dinner!!!
So this is what I ended up cooking!
I realized in the end that instead of a 5 course meal...
if I included the rice as a dish,
it would be a 6 course meal!!!
This was my first time cooking a full course meal for 4 people so I admit I was super scared whether it would turn out nice...
but judging from everyone's reaction at the dinner table...
I think it was a thumbs up!!!
How does it look?
...
I decided on a healthy menu so that this dinner would be guilt free!
No oil was used during this meal and I tried to put in as many veggies as possible!!!!
Also instead of a normal steak I used konnyaku because konnyaku is SUPER healthy and it's a popular diet dish in Japan!!!
Usually it's used for oden and tonjiru but Japanese people have found many other ways to use konnyaku for their diet!
Here's a closer picture and description of the dishes!!!
