Hi!! I'm back this week with another review. But... before we get started, my weekly cooking update: I roasted some broccoli yesterday (200C, 20min, steak seasoning with a dash of Oyster sauce) I know, roasted broccoli isn't the most exciting, but it was DELICIOUS. I can't stand boiled, stirfried or steamed broccoli, but I practically … Continue reading Bird RYU- Unique Yakitori
