Mr Meow's Bento #3

Mr Meow's bento, i will prepare based on weather and also where Mr Meow will take his lunch.

If he out of office, i will try to prepare food that does not require any heating up and easy to carry with.

On hot weather i will try to pack him something that is light. crunchy and refreshing.

Here is one of it: 

One jar noodle - salad soba

My idea is from those popular office lunch nowadays - salad bar. Whereby you can choose brown rice or soba as base and add on other toppings such as corn, egg, bean curd, chicken breast meat , teriyaki chicken and etc, and with varieties choice of sauces such as sesame soy sauce, sesame sauce, etc. But it would costs us at least $5.

BUT we could simply prepare all these within 15 mins and definitely less than $5.

For this soba salad i used:
1/4 carrot (shredded/thinly sliced)
1/4 cucumber (shredded/thinly sliced but without the seed part)
2 slice of baby honey ham - cut into stripe
1 bunch of soba (follow instruction on the packaging)
Just place all into the jar! and it ready to serve cold with sauce! (Sauce i used here is sesame sauce.)
Hope you enjoy this simple meal as fatclay does!

And of cause you make changes to your taste, like adding egg for more fulling lunch or sliced fresh button mushroom for mushroom lovers, shredded chicken breast meat for a healthier choice, and many more!

Tiramisu Recipe - “pick-me-up”

There are several versions which claimed they are the origin and traditional Tiramisu. But the below story and origin is the one which I follow closely to make this Tiramisu. 

During World War in Italy, soldiers had to leave homeland for battle and their wife wanted to prepare a dessert full of love and is highly energetic to help their husband stay alive and to remember to come back home and pick his wife up. Therefore she uses the remainder ingredients such as sugar, eggs, cheese, biscuit as well as caffeine of espresso coffee for the energy and perhaps adding alcohol to help them stay calm and relax. She not only chooses their ingredients wisely but also name this dessert "Tiramisu" which mean "Pick me up" so that whenever their husband had a taste of Tiramisu on the war, he would think of his hometown and his beloved wife. He took away not only Tiramisu, but also the deeply love from his wife.

Long story short and below is my step by step recipe

Ingredients
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Coffee dip
- 1&1/2 cups espresson coffee
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 or 1/2 cup of liquor(rum/brandy)
Zabaglion filling

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup wine(Marsala but if you can't find, you can use any other sweet wine/dessert wine. For me I use moscato or ice wine as substitute)
- 500g mascarpone cheese
- 400g whipping cream
Base
- 1 pack of ladyfinger biscuits(approximately 40 sticks)

We went there on Sat at 1pm but decided to came back the next day earlier due to the long queue today and hoping for a shorter queue the next day. Indeed the queue was shorter the next day when we came at 10am but we still have to queue 50mins before we got ourselves seated.
