[Food questions for those living in Japan]

I found this through google on how to make your own. Not sure how good it is though, I see this website pop up here and there in searches I do, but I don't think I've ever used anything from it.

[Sources of good quality chocolate]

Does anyone know where in the US you can find the Lidt Chocolate Bunnies?

I haven't seen any around.

[Sources of good quality chocolate]

Does anyone know of a website to purchase good quality chocolate for baking with (cakes, buttercreams, etc)?

I've been looking around and I see some sites and certain brands, but I don't know what quality they are.

If you could also recommend good quality brands also. I'm looking for White, dark, bitter, semisweet, milk etc.

Thanks,

[Cilantro]

Does anyone know if Cilantro, which you see called Chinese Parsley in a lot of American grocery stores, is actually used in Chinese cooking at all?

I have hardly ever seen it called for in Chinese cookbooks, except for maybe one or two here and there.

I'm assuming it was called Chinese Parsley for the general american public just because anything "eastern" they would consider it Chinese.

I know it is used a lot in Indian, Thai and Vietnamese cooking.

[Kim Chi Stir Fried w/ Pork]

Thanks for all the replies. I tried it first in a pinch w/ Cabbage, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, hot pepper paste and peeper flakes, and chicken. It was good, but just not the same as the one at the restaurant.

I had KimChi in the Fridge at the time, but it was 2 or 3 months old. So I didn't want to take a chance w/ it. I just bought some yesterday so I'm going to give that recipe a try.

Thanks again,

[Kim Chi Stir Fried w/ Pork]

Does anyone have a recipe for Stir Fired Kim Chi w/ Pork? I've had it at a Korean restaurant and it was delicious.

I'm going to try making it by taking some Kim Chi and frying it w/ some pork and some other spices.

I was also wondering if anyone knew of the name for this dish.

Thanks,
