This post has nothing to do with Japan, except that I have the tendency to fall sick during long Japanese holidays like year end and golden week. So with weak Japanese medicine not working, and even with kiwis and lemon honey drink all failing, I resorted to my friend's advice: coke and ginger . It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights. Preparation: Put a can of coke (around 350ml) and sliced ginger into a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 10 mins. You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy. Verdict: I couldn't believe it, but it tasted rather good! Even my friend who disliked ginger said this remedy taste...
cool!!

ReplyDeleteJapanese curry.... is it anything like the curry we eat? I mean Singapore and Malaysia share pretty much the same local dishes.
ReplyDeleteHana: Haha you're right. Our culture is pretty much similar. And no... Japanese curry are not curry! <-That's what people from SE.Asia thinks. I have a friend from Cambodia who refuses to eat any curry in Japan after his disappointing trip to a local curry chain store. Without coconut milk, Japanese curry just couldn't make it!
ReplyDeleteHahhahahahahahah... what does it taste like? Is it even spicy?
ReplyDeleteHana: Haha, it tastes like sweet non-spicy no-spices curry. It's nice, but I don't think its curry :P
ReplyDeleteYou can also find Japanese curry packs in supermarkets selling Japanese foodies~
ugh... that's not curry. But will have to try it anyway. :P
