Fresh Coconut Flakes at Home: Simple Steps

Pick a coconut that feels heavy and has no cracks. Shake it to make sure you hear liquid inside. Puncture the softest eye with a sharp tool and drain the coconut water. It’s actually super refreshing to drink! Crack the coconut open using the back of a heavy knife or by tossing it (inside a bag) onto a hard surface. Pry the white flesh from the shell. Use a spoon or flathead screwdriver—big pieces are easier to handle. Grate the coconut with a box grater or pulse in a food processor until you get the texture you want. For dried coconut, spread the flakes on a baking sheet and bake at low heat for a couple of hours. Store in a zip bag for months. Homemade grated coconut tastes way better than store-bought! #CoconutDIY #BakingTips #FreshIngredients #Food #Cooking

Japanese Teppanyaki by the Berkeley Seaside

Over by the yacht club on Berkeley's east shore, there's a hidden gem, a Japanese Teppanyaki joint - Hana Japan Steak and Seafood, with a history of over 40 years! Braving the rain for a visit today! The chef's control of the room is top-notch, with flashy knife skills and flames soaring high, leaving the diners dumbstruck! The ingredients are fresh, the grilled meat tastes quite like Benihana, but their fried rice and stir-fried cucumbers are even better! Prices vary depending on the ingredients, averaging $30 to $60 per person! The most expensive combo is the Filet Mignon + Lobster at $58.95; the cheapest is New York Steak + Jumbo Shrimp combo at $31.95! They also have a special Kids Menu, all under $20! Personally, I think the price and quality are all OK, quite enjoyable if you live nearby. 🚩Hana Japan Steak and Seafood 235 University Ave, Berkeley, CA 94710。 #JapaneseTeppanyaki #BerkeleySeasideEats #HanaJapanSteakandSeafood #HiddenGem #AuthenticExperience #FreshIngredients #TopNotchChef #FoodieFinds
