About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Ooh, that looks yummy and perfect with rice. "Shang tang" means "superior stock/broth" in Chinese. :)

I'm drooling already! ^_^ By the way Obachan, I think I may have said this before, but I love your blog! I check at least every other day to see if you've updated. ^^ It's so interesting to know what food finds you've decided to share with us and how's life on the other side of the ocean. =)

Hi Obachan,
I love asparagus. I just had some last night with baked chicken. Mmmmm! Your shrimp and asparagus looks good. Too bad the shrimp was just so-so. =(

obachan;
The shrimp and prawns look so delicious.....I wonder if you could tell me what the sauce tastes like since I would probably not be able to find the packaged mix where I live. It looks so yummy!!!!!
I love asparagus, too.
I love your blogs......I miss Japan

Hi! Sorry about my slow response.
> Julia --- Thanks for your explanation! So it’s probably spelled “Shang tang” in English.
> Tea --- Thanks a million for loving my blog! But please keep in mind: my life isn’t a good representative of a normal life in Japan. ;P
> Reid --- Mmmm! Asparagus and chicken! My favorite combination, too.
> Min --- Thank you. I sure learn a lot from blogging.
> MrsT --- Wow, I’ve never tried asparagus with Hallandse sauce. Sounds so tasty!
> keiko --- Cornflour! What an idea. Yeah, I think I’ve read somewhere that it’s difficult to find potato starch outside Japan….
> Carlyn --- Uh…. I don’t know how to describe the taste of the sauce. It was definitely not “sweet& sour.” It was more like… do you remember eating “happosai 八宝菜” in Japan? It was somewhat like happosai sauce, but with more tasty broth. The package said that the broth was taken from 金華ハム( spelling? Jin Hua Ham?? I guess it’s 金華火腿in Chinese characters…)
