Loads of grease, a heck load of melted cheddar and glorious bacon. This is precisely how I want my burgers. Unfortunately I can only base my opinion off a one and only bite of my mates burger, and honestly It wasn't amazing, the flavours were there but it didn't 'wow' me. It was exactly what you would expect from the ingredients in the burger. </div>

The mac'n'cheese trend has been popping up all over Melbourne burger joints and I absolutely love it. I've tried a few mac'n'cheese burgers from numerous burger joints and I can gladly say that Royal Stack is one of my favourites. The tiny macaroni size combined with what I'm assuming is a mixture of cheeses really boosts the overall flavour. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The burger itself is quite heavy because there's so much flavour and ingredients going on. So a fair warning, this burger is not for the faint-hearted :) </div>

To be honest, the cheese fries and gems is way too heavy for me. I'm pretty sure the cheese was melted american cheddar and it was too heavy and made me feel sick after a few bites. Perhaps some other toppings to lighten the intense cheese flavour would be good but I won't be ordering this again.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everyone! this is actually my first post in the brand new "Cooking" section of my blog. First I want to mention that the "Cooking" is more based on my personal adventure as I've always wanted to try to cook at home for as it's a useful skill to have and I figured that it'd be a great idea to post my adventure on my blog as well!.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst majority of the recipes are not my original recipe, since i'm a complete beginner. I have tweaked some of the recipes to suit my tastes and will be posting the recipe I used as reference below. I want to use the blog as a reference to showcase all the cooking 'adventures' I have embarked on over how ever long I keep blogging for!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As literally everything I post will be my first time cooking the sorted dish unless stated otherwise, I will be linking the recipes I've used. Well, let's begin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The above photo are majority of the ingredients I have used to make the bento from scratch, you can find them in the recipe links below.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Bento Attempt 1</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The concept for my first cooking adventure is 'Bento', which is a Japanese-styled lunch box which usually consists of numerous dishes. The reason for the 'Bento' concept is because my friends decided it was a great idea to have a Bento session for fun and I figured "hey, why not use this as an excuse to stop being lazy and start learning how to cook" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b>
<b><br />Dashimaki Tamago</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The main dish of the first bento is the Dashimaki-Tamago, which is a Japanese egg roll which involves a Japanese stock called dashi. <br />
I tried making one with and without Dashi, and found out that the dashi-infused egg roll had more flavour and a softer texture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i><u>Ingredients for Dashimaki Tamago (combined in a bowl)</u></i></b><br />
<i><b>4 eggs</b></i><br />
<i><b>4 tbsp Dashi</b></i><br />
<i><b>2 tsp sugar</b></i><br />
<i><b>1 tsp soy sauce</b></i><br />
<i><b>1 tsp mirin</b></i><br />
<i><b>2 pinches of salt</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the Dashimaki-Tamago, I used a small 12-inch round pan. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest, I had to cook it 2-3 times until I got the hang of rolling the egg into the perfect shape and maintaining the soft and fluffy texture. Definitely a difficult dish for a beginner such as myself but the taste is AMAZING! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Though a heads up, if you do decide to make dashimaki tamago. <b>Make sure you prepare the dashi the day before</b> unless you want to sit down and wait for 1 and a half hours like I did since the process is quite time-consuming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure to get a bamboo rolling mat as well, since it's crucial for the shaping of the dashimaki-tamago and the rolling of the sushi roll (which I will explain below)<br />
<br /></div>

http://www.justonecookbook.com/tamagoyaki-japanese-rolled-omelette/<br />
<br />
For the rest of the bento, I decided to make my own hand roll sushi which I will go more indepth below. I used the leftover dashimaki-tamago and made it into a poor attempt of a nigiri (not too bad for a first time haha) and added sliced cucumber topped with Japanese Kewpie Mayo for a side dish. In the end I finished it off with some chopped green onions and sesame seed and sprinkled it over.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Bento Attempt 2</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we had 2 seperate 'bento' sessions, I decided to make a similar one but with some grilled salmon, rice topped with chopped roasted seaweed and sliced tomatoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7PlEiUZEwQN_z9kOqy9lTsVKrM3wdSRtnXjAhOALO-vO9-zh9MPbFZ4kf40chZqGl49Xf6naUqrE15aHYHYv1zwdUjoJ5MwXKDvql9sumBUwiJK0vBxtN6vuBPgo_-31gPTg4H0o7uZM/s1600/14550576_10208748694493900_584813546_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7PlEiUZEwQN_z9kOqy9lTsVKrM3wdSRtnXjAhOALO-vO9-zh9MPbFZ4kf40chZqGl49Xf6naUqrE15aHYHYv1zwdUjoJ5MwXKDvql9sumBUwiJK0vBxtN6vuBPgo_-31gPTg4H0o7uZM/s400/14550576_10208748694493900_584813546_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b>
<b><br />Hand Roll Sushi</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest, I first thought rolling sushi would be pretty easy. But boy was I wrong! I wasn't sure if I simply wasn't doing it correctly or if I stuffed up on the ingredient preperation, but overall it tasted good.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Ingredients for Sushi Rice <br />(1 rice bowls worth)</u></i></b><br />
<b><i>1 bowl of cooked short grain rice</i></b><br />
<b><i>2/3 tbsp rice vinegar</i></b><br />
<b><i>1/2 tbsp sugar</i></b><br />
<b><i>pinch of salt</i></b><br />
<b><i>1 tbsp dashi</i></b><br />
<br />
The great thing about sushi rolls is that you can put absolutely whatever you want when you're making them at home. For my case, I made a tuna and mayo with cucumber filling, and another roll with a teriyaki glazed grilled chicken with mayo and cucumber.<br />
<br />

<br />
As this was my first time cooking dishes I've never tried before, I can say i was quite happy with the outcome. Safe to say my bento compared to all my friends was not that amazing but it was perfect for a filling lunch and is definitely fun to make as it utilizes creativity and you can use almost anything for a bento as well.<br />
<br />
Anyways this concludes my first cooking adventure! I hope you enjoyed it :)</div>
