Japanese dinner (recipes from Harumi's Japanese Home Cooking)

two types of sauces for the steak- wasabi mayo and a citrusy japanese sauce with bonito flakes

[[Of Cooking Mother's Day Dinner]]

These days, I prefer to cook a meal for the people I love instead of taking them out cause I think it's much more personal and sincere. Since my mum much prefers Asian food, my sis and I decided to cook a Japanese dishes for her. But since J is back, he ended up cooking with me instead.

I wanted to bake this warm french derssert- Toutiere(apricot pie) but I forgot to marinate the apricots in white wine overnight. So I decided to leave that for another time. We ended up having sake and matcha ice cream from Haggan Daz instead. I think that sake is really an acquired taste; I don't quite like it at this moment.

Anyway, everyone enjoyed dinner. And as J and my sis commented that this is the best meal that we've cooked where every dish taste good and everyone is happy with dinner. =)
