Kitchen Fellowship in Japan

Guess what I did for my honeymoon? Well, unlike many others, my wife and I decided that we would go to Japan not only for our honeymoon but for a mission trip as well. We want to make our trip as meaningful and adventurous at the same time. So, as we were deciding of where to go and what to do, one of my wife's friends from the church is Japan suggested that we cook Malaysian curry there. Without any hesitation, we took up the challenge to cook Malaysian curry (sounds interesting..right?)

Since some of the ingredients are either expensive in Japan or only found in Malaysia, I brought 2 packets of curry powder along with some spices to Japan. (Glad that we were not stopped by the custom officers). A scenario could happen:

Officer: What's this?

Me: Malaysian Curry Powder and spices (cinnamon, fenugreek, turmeric powder, star anise)

Officer: Why are you bringing it here?

Me: Errr...I might miss Malaysian food while travelling here..(lame excuse)..

Anyway, I don't think this conversation would happen because it would be like chicken and duck talking in the airport.

Finally, I was able to cook Malaysian curry and my wife made Green Bean dessert. The result was yummy-licious. Everyone commented that it was SPICY and HOT eventhough I did not add any chilli at all. Looks like their level of spiciness is until where the Wasabi can bring them. Here are some pictures below.

Yummy - there is a market for Malaysian food here (in this pot: chicken, potatoes, carrots, spices, onions)

Green Bean dessert - best eaten with coconut milk.
