I've always been wanting to lay my hands on this book. Okashi Treats: Sweet Treates Made with Love by Keiko Ishida. I finally got it and love reading the book! It includes recipe for basic recipes, complete with illustrations for some of the steps. And every recipe comes with tips to note. Love it to bits!

Recipe was from NoobCook.com, for a noobie like me of course. I omitted chilli since I wasn't a chilli person. Love it! It was simple and tasty for me but the husband complained of not enough meat and ended up adding 2 sunny-sides...
