Beef Don

Beside eating, I love to cook. In fact, I've been cooking longer than I've been snapping pictures. For me, cooking has always been this gateway from all the havoc things that are happening on the daily basis. I love to cook Japanese and French cuisines. Marriage that most people would think, that would end up to be a disaster, but when its done right, the taste would blend in perfectly. The intense attention towards perfection in creating a single dish has been mastered by both countries.

Here's my first recipe entry. Its sort of like, comfort food for me. Having an Asian background, beef teriyaki has always been one of those things, that my mum makes. Its cheap, its healthy and most importantly, its super tasty.

Here's my Recipe for my perfect Beef Don.
