(foreground--crab, sausage & green mango nigiri; top right--prawn & green mango nigiri; top-left--crabstick nigiri. the green blob on every nigiri is very pedas wasabi which was very cheap for a tube!)

camne? chantek tak? chantek kan? i got the taste of the rice right but i need to improve on the texture though. too lembek like putri salat kinda lembek!! sobs. but it must have been pretty not-bad cos Mommy actually spoke of its nice-ness to her friend right in front of me.

when Mommy is in fact the type of mother who tries her best not to praise me in front of me. *pats myself on the back*

haven't started making any (ehem) makis cos i haven't got the japanese balut-balut mat. so start by trying nigiris instead, and also wanna try oshizishis. and also still trying simple toppings before i venture into the exotic ones like salmon, scallop, jellyfish, eel and so on..

so i guess since money is depleting in my bank account (or maybe, already has) i shall do this to save up. My mom intends to eventually get me to Jordan one day to master my Arabic properly anyway, so i better learn how to berdikari financially from now.

I'll experiment more soon to try out combinations that SushiTen hasn't got, especially, and then i'll start taking orders from you (wealthy,singaporean) kids. probably i'll just sell them in a mixed set, like in a plastic container kinda thing, maybe starting from $2.50 onwards or something. just like the ones which i used to eat out of during my childhood when Haan Rose Catering sold sushi sets in exhibitions where i tag along with my mother everytime she takes an exhibition booth for her company.

nuraini's other sushi topping ideas:

• crabstick in blackpeper sauce
• shiitake mushroom in teriyaki sauce
• mango sambal belacan
• chilli tuna
• tuna and green mango/cucumber
• prawn in blackpeper sauce
• tamago (sweet omelette)
• fruit sushi: green mango, something else and something else
• veggie sushi: capsicum, carrot,cucumber and mango
• "italian sushi": cheese,beef balls/sausage in tomato sauce & oregano leaves
• sausage & cheese & potato in black pepper sauce
• some kind of tom yum topping
• a tempoyak topping! (huahuahua not surprised if u don't know what that is)

so do you guys have any other crazy ideas? anything??? please tag quick!! i don't mind whatever loony suggestion that u guys might have. btw, nasi lemak topping dah ada so i malas wanna try that out.
