Actually we were trying make a guinness record by making 40 countries food and put it into 1㎡ Osechi box but it was neglected by Guiness + actual cook were from only 14 countries so...
まぁ！楽しかったからいっか(ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ 笑
Well! It was fun so everything's OK! lol
さてさて、近況報告なんですが私、休学します！
えっ！？どういうこと？！キミダイジョウブ？？？(°д°；)
And and and! It's my recent update but I will take off my university for a year or little more.
What?! What DOES IT MEAN?! ARE YOU OK?????
わかります！そうなりますよね＞＜
私も休学って考えられない人間でした＾＾；
I know what you are thinking!
I was also the one who couldn't think of taking off university before.
But when I spent these 3 years at APU and AP House, I felt, "Am I ok like this?!"When I saw many international students who learns Japanese in here and able to speak it fluently in just a year.
両親には感謝しなダメなんですけど、中学の時に過ごしたチュニジアでの生活が忘れられなくてアラビア語をどうしても第３言語にしたくて、ＡＰＵやったら国際的な大学やからできるんやないか？って思いましたσ(^_^;)
I must thank to my parents but then I remember back the reason why I thought to enter this APU, it was all inspired by my middle school life at Tunisia. I was very interested in Arabic and I thought APU can give me a opportunity to learn Arabic as my 3rd language because it was famous to be known as international univerity in Japan.
けど実際はアラブ圏ってやっぱりまだ未知の世界であたしが思い描いていたようなアラビア文化と触れる大学生活はＡＰＵで送れませんでした。
But reality was different. Arabic culture is still a mystery in global society and I couldn't have enough chance to be attach with Islamic culture in APU.
ＡＰハウスでＲＡをさせていただいてすごく貴重な体験をしてもやっぱり自分の道を貫きたい！
で、ようやく大学3回生にして休学を決意しました＾＾；
こんな変わってる自分の意思を理解してくれてる友人や両親に感謝の言葉しかありません。
APU gave me a lot of important opportunity such as being RA in AP House but I just wanted to be honest to what I really want to do for my future. I can't say any words other than "Thank you" to my parents and friends for understanding my decision. These were the process how I could decide my taking off university in 3rd year at university.
ってことで、Ｇｌｉｓｈは5月中旬からチュニジアへ行きます＞ｖ＜
I am going to Tunisia from the mid of May >v<
料理レポートも更新していきます！
Ofc! I will keep up with my food report!
てかこの前ハリッサを作ったんですよ！
韓国でいうコチュジャン的な存在のチュニジアの調味料です：）
BTW, I made Harissa like last month!
Harissa is just like Gochujang (Korean red chili paste) in Tunisia
Since there was Korean boom in Japan, maybe most people know about Korea.
韓国料理を紹介してくれたのはジドンとジンさんですｗ
Jidon and Jin-san introduced me Korean food!
ラッポギですヾ(＠＾(∞)＾＠)ノ
The food is called, "Loppoki".
結構聞きなれない名前じゃないですか？
Isn't it a bit unfamiliar name?
トッポギなら韓国の餅みたいなので有名ですけどね(・∀・)
We know "Toppogi", the Korean mochi since it is very famous.
ラッポギはトッポギをいれたラーメン鍋みたいな料理でした。
Rappogi was just like noodle nabe putting toppogi as an ingredient.
寒い冬にはもってこいの料理♪
It was good for these cold season in winter.
材料は麺、卵、白菜、肉、トッポギ、コチュジャンでの味付けといういたってシンプル。
The ingredients were noodle, egg, Chinese cabbage, beef, toppogi, and Gochujan (Korean red chili paste).
二人によると小学校・中学校・高校の学校の周りにはラッポギを売る屋台みたいな店が絶対にあるそうです。
なんか日本でいう駄菓子屋さんみたいなノリかな？
According to Jidon and Jin-san, there are always store like selling Lappogi in around any schools from elementary to high school. It just like mom-and-pop candy store around the schools in Japan ;)
しかも値段は1カップで100円ぐらいと言っていましたΣ(ﾟдﾟ;)
In addition, they said that the price will be around 100 yen in 1 cup.
さて、韓国と言えばキムチ！そこでキムチについて豆知識を語っていただきました。
BTW, when we say about Korean food, we always think about Kimuchi. So i asked them about little trivia about Kimuchi in Korea.
1. 韓国にはキムチ冷蔵庫がある！
1. There is Kimuchi refrigerator in Korea.
しかもなんか普通の冷蔵庫とは違うんだって！
They say Kimuchi refrigerator is different from normal refrigerator!!!
BTW Jidon told me "If you go to Korea, you will have more spicy Lappogi. This is not spicy enough." when I told him Lappogi that he made was very spicy for me.
辛かったよ-ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー！
It was very spicy enoughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
そして、韓国にお弁当の文化はあるのか聞いてみました(*゜▽゜ノノ゛☆
Then I asked Jidon and Jin-san if they have Obento culture in Korea.
ないらしいです☆給食なんだって！
The answer was no. But they said the school provide luch for students.
あと韓国でコンビニに行っても日本みたいなお弁当は売られてないんだって(｀∀´)
In addition, they said there is no product like Obento in Korean convenience store.
不思議ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ
Very interesting!!!!!!!!
近いから文化も似てるかと思ったけど結構違いましたね。
We have different culture despite the distance.
ジドン、ジンさんありがとうございました！ラッポギまた食べたいです！
Jidon, Jin-san thank you for your cooperation! I want to eat Lappogi again!
By the way, the Philippines is the country that I can never forget of...
なんと人生で初めて自分の墓場がここだ！と思ったぐらいの食あたりを体験した国なのです！
The Philippines is the country where I experienced terrible food poisoning and at that time, I really thought the Philippines will be the place for my grave.
苺には気をつけましょう！
Be careful when you eat strawberry☆
さて、今回フィリピン料理を紹介してくれたのは寮生のカミルとアーロンです(°∀°)b
BTW, Camille and Aaron introduced me the Philippino food!
左：カミル 右：アーロン
Left: Camille Right: Aaron
調理等の写真をバーーーーーーーっと載せます☆
I will post several pictures of their cooking.
ウワーーーーーーーーー！！！！！Σ(=°ω°=;ノ)ノ
食欲をそそりますねヽ(゜▽、゜)ノ
Awwwwwww these makes me so hungry!!!!
紹介します！
Introduction time!
左：イナサル 右：アドボ
Left: Inasal Right: Adovo
アドボはフィリピン料理で一番有名な料理らしいです。
According to Camille, Adovo is most famous Philippino food.
さて、今回は簡単に作り方を紹介しちゃいまーす！
This time, I will briefly introduce how to cook Philippino food(*゜▽゜ノノ゛☆
イナサルはチキンを醤油、砂糖、酢、ニンニク、塩コショウに2時間ほどつけます。
For Inasal, you should put chicken into mixed source made out of soy source, sugar, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper for more than 2 hours.
その後にソースに粘々になるまでフライパンで炒めます。
Then you fry it until the source get sticky.
イナサルの出来上がりです！
Finish!
アドボは豚肉を使います。
Adovo uses pork.
醤油、砂糖、こしょう、酢、玉ねぎ、ジャガイモを混ぜて鍋で煮ます。
Then you boil it with soy source, sugar, pepper, vinegar, onion, and potato,
ここでのポイントは煮始めたら10分間は鍋を放置して混ぜないことです。
The point in here is to not stir the ingredients for 10 min. Please just leave it as it is.
混ぜない理由は酢のうまみを出すためです。ここで混ぜたら料理が酸っぱくなるのだそう。
The reason why you should not stir it is because Adovo will become sour by the vinegar.
ＡＰハウスでは↑みたいな感じで皆でワイワイご飯を食べてるシーンが多いです。
In AP house, people gather at the kitchen table and eat together like the picture on above.
上の写真はフィリピン、ネパール、ベトナム出身の寮生が各自の料理を作ってシェアしていましたｗ
The picture in above is taken today. Resident from the Philippines, Nepal, and Vietnam were sharing their cultural food together.
本当に異文化体験がしやすい環境なのです('-^*)/
AP house is really a place where you can experience the muticultural environment.
さて、インタビューに戻ります。
Well, I will get back to the interview.
Ｑ１.フィリピン料理に不可欠な具材はありますか？
Q1. Are they any ingredient that is always in Philippino food?
Answer: ニンニクですね。あとお米は絶対！
Garlic is always there. Rice is very important too!
Well, we do not have the culture like Japanese way of Obento. Parents make easy thing like hotdog or sandwich but these things can be cooked by mother or bought in the outside.
日本みたいにキチキチと色んな種類のおかずをお弁当にする文化はないそうです。
In other word, there is no culture like to put variety types of food in one tiny lunch box as in Japan.
最後に、カミル曰くフィリピンはお米が大事！
At last, Camille told me Philippino people always eat their food with rice.
そのために料理は味を濃いめにつくるらしいです。
That is the reason why Philippino people always make dish a bit salty taste.
そして、豆知識ですが、フィリピンではお米が精米になるまでに７つぐらいの呼び名があるのだそう。
This is trivia but in the Philippines, there are 7 names for rice in each different stage.
「それだけお米は私達にとって大事なのよ。」
"As you can see from this trivia, rice is really important thing for our life."
カミル、アーロン、インタビューに協力ありがとう！
料理本当にご飯にぴったりでおいしかったです！
Camille, Aaron, thank you for your cooperation!
The food was really delicious with the rice!
でわでわキッチンデューティーに行ってきますo(･_･= ･_･)o
