7 Aug 11 (Sun) - Okonomiyaki Omelette, Steamed Banana Milk Custard (炖香蕉奶) and Steamed Almond Soya Bean Milk Custard (炖杏仁豆奶)

Saw a recipe on okonomiyaki omelette on Today papers dated 28 July so decided to try it out this weekend. Followed the recipe closely but replaced the prawns with seafood sticks, omitted the dashino-moto coz I didn't want to buy it and used light soya sauce instead. The recipe said the portion serves two but it turned out to be about an inch thick and of the size of a personal pan pizza. In my opinion, the portion can actually serve three easily or four. So next time if I want to cook this dish again, I better cut down everything to half. Tasted the omelette and was rather good. Since I had some chili powder and mayonnaise so added them to the omelette and it tasted even better.

After cooking the okonomiyaki omelette, I went on to do the steamed banana milk custard (炖香蕉奶)and the steamed almond soya bean milk custard (炖杏仁豆奶) using the recipe on the steam milk custard. The only difference was that I didn't add sugar for today's milk custards since the milk was flavoured and sweetened.
