… and this is not the one you are thinking about! I am still a fan of men suits (especially since I watched Kingsman Colin Firth twice). When I found this British suit with Japanese inspirations, I could only give in. Made in Great-Britain (perhaps the same tailor as Kingsman?) and it has a few details that I am particularly fond of.

Besides, my shoes are from the Topshop Unique SS15 collection, shoes that I would probably wear only during events and parties where I would stay sat during the whole time (figurehead power!) considering the height of the heels, but the sporty-chic side easily convinced me.

Anyhow, to celebrate Alix‘s expected happy event, it was perfect.

Easy peasy recipe #2

· Food, Illustration


 

Omurice オムライス

We will continue the segment for the cooking newbies with this Japanese recipe of “Omurice” or “Omuraisu オムライス” if you pronounce it with a Japanese accent. It is actually a rice filled omelette mixed with meat. I tried out this dish in Tokyo, in the famous little restaurant where my favourite jap’ couple worked at. I enjoyed a beef omurice but today, it is garnished with chicken and mushrooms. Nothing revolutionary per se but it is a balanced meal that fits well with a side salad.

I inspired myself from a recipe I read in the very useful book “Tokyo, the cult recipes” and I adapted a few ingredients. Fox example, I didn’t colour my rice with ketchup only so it wouldn’t be too sugary but I produced (=a big word ! haha) a mix of ketchup-tomato pulp (in box).

You can also switch the garnishing by changing the chicken with beef Bourguignon from last night for example or any other meat that you fancy : there isn’t really a authentic chart of omurice and no one will check !

Like last time, the recipe is summarised in my drawing below : if you have any doubts with the order of execution, ask me ! The breakdown service “Cooking Padawan” is open all hours ! Itadakimasu ! (Bon appétit !) (English translation by TradIsa)

I am going to talk again about my unidentified jeans! This time, I am going down from my heels (not really high) to show you a variant with ballerinas! Well, I look less literally speaking “feminine” than my latest outfits published on the blog, but you must know that the “Boyish” spirit always comes back to me like a boomerang!

I decided to match my jeans with this polo from the ‘sporty-chic’ Topshop Unique SS15 collection, in which I have selected quite a few things that I will show you a little at a time.

I think I hadn’t worn a polo for a long while and because I have always liked the style of women tennis players, I am now overwhelmed with happiness! And this will probably follow me with the good weather coming (without even knowing how to play tennis)…
