Found an interesting vegetable at the mart today...

Salt leaf. The water droplet looking sheen makes this vegetable look so like a pretty plant that i never thought it could be eaten! And no, those are not water droplets on the leaves but a mineral coating. its got a mild salt taste and a refreshing crunch. yummy, but i doubt i will reach for a second helping.

And tricolour tomatoes (red, orange and yellowish gold), nothing unusual, just cute to find these assortedly packed in a punnet.

Made a new batch of muffins today for breakfast tommorrow

Thé vert a la azuki et amande muffins

(Visited quite a few tea leaf shops in Paris and found the green tea Thé vert variety to be quite popular with the ladies)

When i came back i just felt like baking something green tea flavoured. So voila, green tea, red bean muffins with chopped almonds.

J obento

carrot and cheese tonkatsu, olive and chopped eggs in tomato mayo dressing, inari sushi.

Dinner

mentaiko salted chicken burgers, broccolli short pasta soup, and...

natto and chopped shungiku topped with korean seaweed atop warm rice.

The raw egg yolk, yup, not a common sight in dishes outside of Japan, when stirred into warm rice gives a pretty yellow marble hue to the rice.
