Japanese Beef Rice

Healthy Shabu-Shabu's Japanese Beef Rice I COULDN’T resist not snapping a photo of what Brother had for dinner at Healthy Shabu-Shabu at Town last week.  We were seated at a table for four.  His food – the Japanese Beef Rice – occupied all of the rectangular space you see on the photo.  Every other free space on the table top, I used for all my many shabu-shabu ingredients – fish fillet, oysters, crabsticks, and lots of Taiwan pechay (baby bok choy), aside from the standard platter an individual set comes with. Brother was kind enough to offer me some of his plated dish.  I just asked for one of the shiitake mushroom caps.  It was glazed with a really sweet, almost teriyaki-like sauce. But the best part of the meal was that Brother demanded he’d pay (So that could be why he decided against the thousands-peso worth Wagyū set meal…  Kidding!).  Fine by me.  Hahaha!  We’re eyeing a steak dinner soon.  Definitely before he leaves for Italy on a long assignment

Boeing places 757 replacement under purview of future 737 planning

Boeing 757’s First Flight YouTube Share Create Apture™ by flightblogger SINGAPORE — During his Asia Pacific market briefing, I asked Boeing vice president of marketing, Randy Tinseth, about the future of an oft – discussed mid-range 787 and it’s potential for the future. The exchange yielded an interesting answer: Jon Ostrower: Looking beyond the 787-3, your customers have indicated a need for a medium range 787, somewhere in the trans-continetnal 3,000 to 4,000 mile range, do you see an opportunity now take the 787 to adapt it to that market? Randy Tinseth: So the question is are we going to design a 787 with the range of a 757?I’ll tell you, it’s not in the plans today, but over the last week we did some changes at Boeing and one of those changes is we brought Mike Bair, who was my boss, to now lead our single aisle development efforts

1. Last days in London – cheap eats

A table with a carnation is a special table Time is running out – so many local (local being both the East end and London in general!) gems to discover and re-visit! Recently discovered (WAY too late!)  has been Kennedy’s Fish Place on Goswell Rd near Old street, Islington. Now its not a revelation – just your regular chippy – but the fare was good enough to write about I felt.  Portions are huge, the atmosphere and interior probably hasn’t changed in the last 30 years, and with good company it ticks all the right boxes for a regular week-night meal out. Our starters – fish cakes, whitebait and sauteed baby calamari were all spot on, and fish and chips mains were making everybody happy.

FAA faults American Eagle $2.5 million for misinformation

The Federal Aviation Administration is charging American Eagle $2.5 million for not ensuring that weight records were accurate on each plane on dozens of flights in the past two years. When the crew of an airplane has incorrect information about the amount of weight in the cargo area, it affects how the pilot will gauge its take-off and landing procedures. A certain weight calls for the appropriate speed, and without accurate information, ascension can be difficult, according to USA Today .

To Catch a Critic: Sietsema on the History of Restaurant Reviewing and Ethics

The Village Voice’s Robert Sietsema pens an in depth piece for the Columbia Journalism Review about the history of restaurant reviewing in New York . An excellent cultural piece, it charts the waters from Craig Claiborne’s seminal reviews for the Times in the 60’s to the food bloggers and the free for all of today. He touches upon Gael Greene , who first brought hyperbolic language to the medium (“After Gael Greene, the restaurant review would never be the same”); Reichl, who turned the review into a “bona fide literary form;” vernacular food lovers Calvin Trillin and Jane and Michael Stern; the first well known and not anonymous food critic, Restaurant Girl ; and Bruni, who Sietsema argues, bucked the growing trend to review a restaurant before it was ready
