Salmon tataki salad

I haven't been cooking anything astonishing lately with all the hustle and bustle of student life. But with Mid-Autumn festival just round the corner I was invited to cook for a close group of friends of mine.

Honestly, I'm not very good in preparing Asian dishes but I do plan to polish it since it will be embarrassing for a chinese not to. So the next best thing I could come up with was an asian fusion dish.

What's before your eyes is a simple light salad made with a few simple ingredients. It's basically salmon tataki (wanted tuna but it wasn't sashimi grade so I bought salmon instead) with wasabi tobiko cream fraiche sitting on snow sprout and radish with yuzu honey soy sauce.

Simple and light. :)

We all want to love and be loved in return.

Neither fame nor riches can propel a man towards one of life's greatest joy.

The road to the path requires kindness, contentment, optimism, humility, tolerance, empathy and ultimately the same love and devotion towards our God.

Let us win.

Operation Stitches

One of the weekly highlights of my busy uni life is spending time with kids at the Stitches center. Many of the kids there are from broken families who live in commissioned flats where the threat of drugs and gangs are as close as to you and your iPhone. These kids long for love and attention that they could hardly get, and we are here to provide some of that missing piece.

Every Saturday we round kids up from nearby suburbs such as Collingwood and Fritzroy and bring them over to our center where it is all fun and games. The place is run by two amazing people, Chris and Patrick Templeton, whose heart and soul are all out for the kids.

It gives me great joy to see the kids having loads of fun and who are worry free. One of the biggest inspiration for me to be involved is when past Stitches kids who are now successful working adults share on how Operation Stitches changed the course of their lives! Truly amazing testaments and with this in mind I want to be with the team of people who can make a significant impact in these wonderful kids.

Here are some pics during the last few Super Saturdays we had.

We hope we can better equip these wonderful kids with virtue and God so that they know what to stand for later in life, for we all may meet the con that we call 'love'.
