Teppanyaki Chicken and Lamb

Today dinner is Teppanyaki Chicken and Lamb with Garlic Rice.  My daughter does not like garlic so she have her Teppanyaki Lamb with plain rice.  Whereas my son anything go.  So he has his with garlic rice.

As a matter of facts it is not difficult to prepare this dish and it cost cheaper.

Home cook food taste better as we can choose the quality of the ingredient and also the style of our cooking.

To bad, my husband going to missed this as he is still in the office. Busy busy............  Maybe next time I'll whip-up Seafood Teppanyaki or is it Black Pepper Beef.  Let see.
