Easiest and Fastest Way to Peel a Potato

It’s a bitch to peel off the skin from a potato, and hence the reason why I don’t make mashed potatoes. But! This video clip shows the easiest and fastest way to peel a potato. Check it out!

How to:
1) Before you boil a potato, with a knife make a circumferential cut 1mm deep into the potato.
2) Boil the potato.
3) Place the boiled potato in ice water for 10 seconds.
4) Strip the skin away from both ends.

Kabuki Japanese Restaurant

alecho — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 13:30:59 +0000

Kabuki is advertised as a Japanese restaurant but I feel it serves the most authentic Korean food here in the upstate New York. Of course, when I say “authentic” I mean as authentic as it can get in an Asian-free area. Of course, they have the typical Korean food like Bulgogi but you can also find the more traditional (and rare) dishes like TangSooYook. The place is kinda empty but its all good, more peace to myself. So, check out Kabuki if you are in this area and have an urge for Korean food.

Hattie’s Famous Chicken

alecho — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 22:50:53 +0000

Today I had the honor to try the Spa City’s revered fried chicken. Hattie’s reputation even drawed the attention of the world famous chef, Bobby Flay‘s, and making its appearance on the culinary program Show Down. It’s not easy writing a review of a local treasure… especially a bad one. Chicken wasn’t too oily for a fried chicken, but flavor was just plain. Still figuring out the “famous” part other then the recipe being unchanged since 1930s. But the dish was saved by the side dish Collard greens and Louisiana beer, which I very much enjoyed them both. I’m sure they have other great dishes, but based on this limited experience, I am going to be hated by the local for giving an overall rating of:

2.0 / 5.0

Road to Perfect Curry Rice

alecho — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:58:35 +0000

Curry rice is loved by everyone in the world. As a child I loved it for the taste and sense of family gathering it brings. So! I decided to conjure up the ultimate curry rice! Something unique… something simply delicious and people will talk about. And, here’s the first of the many curries to come on the path of excellence.

What worked:
1) used KABOCHA instead of potatoes. Same texture but healthier and adds sweetness to curry.
2) added DARK CHOCOLATE. Added a distinctive “depth” and aroma.

What DIDN’T work:
1) used HOUSE VERMONT CURRY. A famous brand in Japan for the addition of Apple and honey. However, felt like it was too mild for the thick, deep, flavorful curry I was looking for.

Not too bad for a first trial. More to come but its slowly but surely moving forward. To be continued.

As I am nearing graduation, I ask myself… How will I be remembered? For the numbers of implants I placed? No. For the block graft I did? No. For the ridge split and simultaneous implants? Heck No. I will always be remembered as the Asian kid who chowed down 5 POUND burger!!!

Behemoth Burger!!
