We can’t always find ampalaya or bitter gourd here. So when they started to appear at the supermarkets two months ago, it has become a part of my weekly budget. Ampalaya with egg is very easy to prepare so I went on for weeks cooking ampalaya this way. Honestly, I had never tried cooking ampalaya before I came here. About a month ago, ampalaya or goya (in Japanese), became so cheap that you could buy 4 pieces for just 100 yen (US$1)! We bought so many goya but I couldn’t eat any more goya with egg! So I tried cooking it in different ways, one of them was adding it to a Japanese curry! I passed by a curry restaurant and saw a big picture of curry with ampalaya and squash. Here’s my version:

It still tastes like the usual Japanese curry (of course!) but with a twist. The squash compliments the ampalaya’s bitter taste. As I have put my heart into cooking it, I can say that it’s delicious! Summer will be over soon, and goya will be gone again, so I have to eat goya to my heart’s content.

Here’s my usual junk food supply. I make sure that I have salty and sweet ones. (cheese sticks, curry-flavored Pringles, KitKat, chewing gum, and mochi candies).
