breakfast - sushi without the rice
few weeks ago, i bought some seaweed from the wholesale market.
turns out, this seaweed has a sweet seasoning. yuck.
but mummy made some no-rice sushi with egg, ham, cucumber & carrots. it's kinda sweet because of the seaweed but tastes addictive & yummy!! looks good too!
