Choux I once attempted making my own choux pastry at home a few years ago, but it was a total failure (did not even puff up! Threw the whole mess away) and I did not dare to try again. I'm glad @abccookingstudio_sg teaches this recipe and now I finally have success in choux puffs (albeit in weird shapes but forgive this amateur, thanks)! BUT this is still no where as delicious (and pretty) as the choux from @shuuchoux, not even halfway there 😂

Cheesecake with sour cream topping 🧀

Peach Roll 🍑

Thank you Okayama for giving me these premium fruit compote! It's bottled preserved whole fruit of Muscat of Alexandria 🍇 and Shimizu Hakuto 🍑! Can't wait to make some cake or pancakes with these 😋

もも🍑shopping today at @donkisg! We can't do peach picking in Singapore but at least we can do peach shopping. I can't stop thinking about how fragrant the Okayama peaches were from yesterday's Okayama Seminar (check 1 post back to see what it's about) and I only have 1 peach left from Kagawa (it's been 3 weeks but I stored it well!) so I had to buy more peaches! I'm not sure which prefecture these are from, but they do smell good, look beautiful and are quite affordable (comparing to Isetan prices I mean). Japanese peach season is coming to an end very soon so it's now or never!

I had fun sharing my experience in Okayama today at the Okayama Seminar! Thank you, those who attended ❤ Okayama has the best white peach 🍑 in Japan and I finally got to taste it today. The Shine Muscat grapes 🍇were so good too, I can't wait to go fruit picking in Japan again in my upcoming trip! I really hope to go fruit picking in Okayama one day, especially for peaches. I usually dislike eating fruits and peaches were never something I liked eating, but Japanese momo is probably my favourite fruit right now! I don't know what sorcery is this 😮

Mille Crêpe I did 18 layers of crêpe for this! (They said 12 to 15 was the norm. Not sure what happened haha) Frying it piece by piece wasn't easy especially for people like me who aren't familiar with stove cooking (I don't have the skills to flip things in a frying pan) but halfway through I kinda got the hang of it! I've been curious about how Mille Crêpe is done every since I first had it (and loved it!) 10 years ago but having no success with making crêpe I didn't attempt trying it on my own. I'm glad my first time was successful thanks to @abccookingstudio_sg!

Missing the udon from #kagawa and this is the closest to real #sanukiudon we have in SG. The noodle texture is not quite the same though! Maybe I really have to put what I learnt at @udonhouseinsetouchi to use and make my own udon...

Royal Pinkalicious 👑 July's seasonal trial class at @abccookingstudio_sg This is probably one of the easiest cake with cream to assemble so far!

"Chicken in Bone" Honetsukidori 骨付き鳥 is a kind of dish that is unique to Kagawa Prefecture, originating from Marugame City. It is the second most famous cuisine in Kagawa, only behind Sanuki Udon. This is probably the best (non-fried) chicken ever. It's so juicy and flavourful and the skin reasonably crispy 😍 they offer 2 versions here - a chewy but stronger flavour older chicken and a soft but milder young chicken. I chose the softer young chicken and it was soooo good. Definitely having it again when I return to Shikoku region one day, hopefully soon!

Mizuhiki 水引 handicraft experience in Takamatsu. Mizuhiki plays an important role in Japanese culture as a symbol of affection, warmth, and togetherness. ❤ If you think this looks normal, take note that each strand is actually made of PAPER. It's made from washi paper that is tightly wound together making it strong. I've always admired Japanese traditional handmade products because they are really dedicated to the craft. I got to try pottery making the last time and I'm glad to have different handicraft experience this trip! A group session like this would cost around ¥2000/pax subject to advanced reservation. We got to make a braided bracelet, choosing our own colours. I selected baby pink and holographic baby pink and I love it! I even purchased matching earrings which were handmade by Master Yuya Tsuchida! Master Tsuchida will be coming to Singapore Isetan Scotts as part of a Kagawa fair in October, bringing his craft closer to us. Do not miss it!

This was the only exhibit in the Benesse House Museum that allowed photography 😂 We visited Benesse House and Chichu Art Museum in Naoshima and I personally enjoyed Benesse House a lot better. Naoshima is home to several of the best art museums in the world and every 3 years, 12 islands and 2 coastal cities around the Seto Inland sea will collectively host a contemporary art festival where art enthusiasts from all places come together, known as the Setouchi Triennale, which features artwork from Japan and overseas. The next instalment is due to happen in 2019 and you can learn more about it at http://setouchi-artfest.jp. . (📸: @charlottekiew)
