In my first outing experience in my city, just some hours after my parents did all the red tape that you need to adopt a bunny child in HK, I saw a nice sign…

Unfortunately, I was so young that I had no writing skills and my Father is such an idiot that he forgot to write down the name.

But after extensive and intensive research we founded their website * and we manage to be there several years after our first attempt.

May be I am going to disappoint my friend 9J, but they have a great corporate image for bunny lovers but quite a disappointing offer for humans. Besides their name stand for REAL BREWED TEA, and they’re from Taiwan.

* This was not an easy job, and we need to use the “search for rbt into .hk domains option”

You know my Father and specially Miffo are excellent cookers (well this is something that applies to Miffo only).

In the past I used to have a luxury restaurant where we mixed the best from the East and the West but this damn crisis has ruined my – quite expensive restaurant- and I have been forced to convert it in an inexpensive closed menu restaurant that offers traditional Spanish dishes.

Do no tell anyone but we refill the wine bottles and other things that you always suspected but never think restaurants did.



Swiss cheese fondue

I am not a little bunny anymore but Father Bunny loves
to treat me as her little bunny every time.

ENG: Today it was raining in Zurich, actually since we got up till now (6 pm) it has been the same. The mist was covering all the sky and on these days the best option is to find a nice restaurant.

They recommended us Swiss Chuchi (below Hotel Adler) which speciality is Swiss fondue. And we have an excellent one who rivalled the one we had at The Peninsula in Hong Kong.

DE: Seitdem wir aufgestanden sind , hat es den ganzen Tag in Zürich geregnet . Der Himmel war voll bewölkt und die beste Option war ein schönes gemütliches Restaurant in der alten Stadt zu finden.

Es wurde uns ein schweizerisches Restaurant -Swiss Chuchi- ( beim Hotel Adler ) empholen, welches Speziälitat die Fondues sind. Wir haben eins gegessen une es war so lecker , dass dies mit der Fondue von “ The Peninsula Hotel “ in Hong Kong ganz im konkurrenz steht.

FR: Depuis que nous nous sommes levés, il pleut tout le temps à Zürich . Il y avait tellemnt des nuages tout le jour que la meilleure option a été de chercher un restaurant

On nous a recommendé un resto -le Swiss Chuchi- à côté du Hotel Adler, qui est tres reconnu par ses fondues. Vraiment il faut dire que la fondue que nous avons mangé est à l´hauteur ou même meilleur de celle que nous avions mangé chez The Peninsula Hong Kong.

IT: Dopo che ci siamo alzati, piove a Zurigo. Tutto il giorno è stato coperto e abbiamo deciso di cercare in ristorante per pranzo

Nel albergo ci hanno deto che c´è un ristorante – il Swiss Chuchi- afianco all´albergo Adler, dove si possono mangiare delle fondues. Ci siamo andati et dobbiamo dire che abbiamo mangiato una fondue cosi buona o megliore di quella che avevamo mangiato nel albertgo The Peninsula Hong Kong.

Think twice before going to a place were people speaks so many languages



Shooting day

Umeko with the Camera. She was the Camera Assistant
From Palamos to Illes Medes, very close to the coastline

After re-fueling in Sant Feliu de Guixols we headed south to Tossa de Mar

Tossa de Mar, we got closer as we could to shoot “damn tourist” on the beach

Father bunny is producing a short video that will show some of the best places in Costa Brava. Of course I am the executive producer and the original idea and all the shooting plan has be done by me.

I planned to shoot the coast from the air with an helicopter first and them from the sea. Unfortunately that will add 4.500,00 € an hour and I prefer to use my budget for other
expenses.

I sent Mem and Umeko with him and the Camera to shoot some of the most beautiful spots from the sea with a speed boat. Unfortunately for them the wind was blowing North with an intensity of 5 and some nasty waves that like to splash people when trying to go the same direction.

I placed a GPS logger in his equipment and It seems that they did their work despite the conditions. But I will need to clarify the over 100 € restaurant bill he gave me for a three person dinner in Sa Tuna.



First attempt, a great disaster (ok, may be just a disaster)

Mother Bunny is on a business travel (or at least that is what he just told Father Bunny) and my sisters were so excited about the new gift that our friends from Japan sent us last week that the atmosphere at home was getting really thick.

I must say Father Bunny is quite good cooker but he has a great defect – he does not like sweets – and even worse he has no idea about how to make cookies.

He and Ookina download a recipe from the Internet – Butter cookies- They taste good but they’re extremely hard to mould and de-mould with a 36 Celsius environment.

I knew it would happen, but I swear you they were there almost an hour dealing with the butter cookies.

Please do not check the original Miffy cookies here.



Be an hamburger, my friend!

More chat about food. While is quite difficult to convince my father to enter any fast food restaurant, anywhere in the world, anytime, even if we are terrible hungry he is always curious about new fast food brands.

I must say that I share his point of view about too many Mcdonalds and KFC’s among others opening in China during those past years. The food is the same crap as in Europe and the price is much cheaper but quite more expensive than a good Chinese restaurant.

Thank god some local fast food brands have appeared and some of them with a lot of energy, sense of humour and quite good food (this last statement according to other testimonies)

a good example can be found here and a review there.
The picture is mine and it was taken by myself so stop whims about copyright and other crap


Rice

Miffo is trying to share some Basic japanese sushi techniques with me. I’ve done some improvements and cutting and rolling stuff is not a problem anymore.

But, still It’s hard to make a good rice if you don’t use Japanese rice. I’ve tried different rice and rice vinegars combinations but still I am unable to get the proper texture and flavour.

May be as Father Bunny says:

- “You need to learn from a real Japanese chef”.

Let’s see. In the other hand he has been training secretly with Draculina to en a 10 km under 48 minutes.

PS: I still have to write one of my recipes for Katanga’s blog.


Eastern Holidays at home.

Past eastern we visited Japan for the first time and we discovered our favourite city Tokyo- this eastern in exchange we have had no vacations and we have been at home.

It had been really hard because we planned to go sailing two days but strong winds and heavy rain from the North could made it a very unpleasant experience.

Anyways we will go to Hong Kong in less than a month. Yes!!! We will fly directly this time from BCN to HKG (via CDG that tells u no one is perfect) and I will be able to take Miffo and some of my sisters to my hometown. That’s great.

I said that Tokyo is my favourite city, but home is home so I dying to come back to my Hotel. To celebrate it Miffo cooked “Soba” for us and her delicious Miso Soup.

Note from Father bunny: Miffa doesn’t admit it but she prefers Tokyo right now. ;)

Miffo masters fish cut, her master will be proud

As many of you know Miffo spent almost nine months in Tokyo at Cafemiffy’s. There she discovered about Japanese culture and she cultivated her great hobby: cooking.

Now Miffa’s restaurant has three Chief Cookers – Me, Miffo and Laia – who master Cantonese, Japanese and Mediterranean cuisines respectively.

Past February during four consecutive weekends we showed our abilities with help from some guest cookers from China and Catalonia. Finally we have convinced Father Bunny (who helps us in the kitchen every time) , and we will start a three posts series with pictures and recipes we cooked.

We will include a video edited by ourselves using professional editing software (it was bundled with the video camera we bought in Tokyo past Eastern) and finally our lazy dad had time to read and install it.

Past 12th Father Bunny and Miffo went to Madrid. That was Miffo’s first time at the new T4 terminal that we visited with Chairoko and Kiiroko a year ago.

Today me and Miffo have taken a plane and we will be there for four days in a Spa resort while Father Bunny is working at Ifema.

Tonight we went to one of my father’s favourite restaurants: Goizeko Wellington.

We will keep you informed about our moves in “The Capital”
