Salt Sea Salt

Everyone's palate is different, but almost everyone's palate craves salt. Well, a little salt sea water certainly isn't going to hurt. But, too much salt can worsen symptoms like swelling and shortness of breath and cause weight gain. Ingesting more sodium than needed can lead to high blood pressure, a serious risk factor in heart disease and stroke. Therefore, over the years, Ocean's Flavor has experienced tremendous growth due to the public's demand for lower sodium products. In case you didn't know, Ocean's Flavor provides a natural lower-sodium, healthier and tasty alternative to traditional salt. Sea salt is a must for your gourmet table, either at home or out and about!

One fine day, Ralph made this mouthwatering and wonderful meal for lunch!

I really love salmon. With so many ways to cook salmon, and even more to enjoy it, he tried to grill the salmon steaks. It's so delicious that heavy sauces and marinades just get in the way of the natural goodness. The Ocean's Flavor lower sodium salt sea salt is fabulous on the salmon, too!

At first he combines ingredients which include fine sea salt and pepper and marinates the salmon steaks for 1 hour. Then, grill the salmon over medium flame for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork and continue to baste salmon while grilling with leftover marinade every 1 to 2 minutes. Cut extra lemon in half and squeezes the juice over the cooked salmon steaks. Lemon and salmon are delicious flavors to combine, and along with just a touch of something else, you can create a healthy, great tasting meal. Serve immediately with stir-fried vegetables. Perfect!

Pasta Zanmai @ 1 Utama

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "Pasta"? Obviously, you'd think about Italian food, right? After all, pasta comes from Italy.

However, the Japanese have also adopted pasta by creating Japanese pasta. I'm not sure about you, but I've never heard of Japanese pasta. Okay, I'm a self confessed Japanese or Italian food lover but I'm not a pasta lover. It was Edward's birthday last Sunday and the pasta lover was seeking for an adventure of sorts!

#1 Pasta Zanmai, a Japanese Casual Pasta Restaurant which serves Japanese-Italian fusion food at its casual best.

Being a frequent visitor and shopper of the shopping mall, I can walk past this row many times and miss this restaurant completely, somehow.

At Pasta Zanmai, only one type of pasta is used – Japanese spaghetti, and it's presented in 50 different styles. Their version is rather contemporary as the pasta (spaghetti like noodles) is said to be lighter than Italian spaghetti.

Teri Hotate Piza comes with...
