malimali-san served vegan food to Kaze.

It’s December 2023 already, and Fujii Kaze has been active this year as well. His Asia Tour was heating up.
By the way, did you know that malimali-san, a cafe owner and food designer based in Bangkok, Thailand, provided vegan meals for Team Kaze during his concert in Bangkok in July? I really wanted to personally write a blog about this. She herself unveiled those things on Twitter(X) on July 3rd, 2023. It was the day after Kaze’s two-day Bangkok concert.
This is the story of the food that Kaze ate in Bangkok.

The English text of this article and the Japanese translation of malimali-san’s tweets (Japanese version of this article https://gettoknowkaze.net/ja/malimali-vegan-food/ ) were both proofread by instructors from the correction company.

Introduction

Kittiwat-san from Avalon Live, the eventer of Kaze’s concert, tweeted at 14:46 JST on July 3rd.

Kittiwat-san Thank you, Mr. Kaze, Mr. Zuzzu, the agency, and the staff. To all lovely viewers, the Avalon team, and everyone involved in making this event so beautiful and full of smiles, until we meet again.

อ่อ อีกคนที่จะลืมไม่ได้เลย คือคุณ@malimali
ผู้อยู่เบื้องหลังการเตรียมอาหารวีแกนให้กับงานนี้ ขอบคุณครับ 🙂

Also, it continues in this way.

Kittiwat-san Oh, you are the other person who must not be forgotten.
@malimali
Thank you to everyone who helped prepare vegan food for this event 🙂

Reading this tweet, I was excited by myself.

I have talked with malimali-san on Twitter from time to time.

Note: The “:)” and ” :D” that sometimes appear in English tweets are emoticons.

Rotate them 90 degrees clockwise to see a smiley face.

At night, malimali-san began to explain like this.

ถึงเวลาที่จะเล่าได้ซะที ยาวหน่อยๆและเนิร์ดหน่อย ๆ ด้วย 555
ไปช้า ๆ นะ เพราะว่านึกไปพิมพ์ไปหารูปไป

So this is the time I can tell about this (finally)
OK guys, this will be long and a bit nerdy 😀
I'll be slow for this thread

This is how malimali-san began to go into detail.
Let me start from the beginning.
(Perhaps,) Kaze ate all of the vegan foods, which all looked so yummy!

I'm totally comfortable making vegan food as I met the harder requirements before. Then I start constructing all the 4 meals from there. All essential sauces are made from scratch to make sure the umami tastes are fully and naturally packed. pic.twitter.com/q6O65uJ3VB

malimali-san served food to Team Kaze four times over two days, twice a day.

malimali-san I was responsible for 4 meals : lunch and dinner for 2 days. My menus are international because they (the team) are on tour, so I hope they feel they were really traveling 😀 Before the first meal, let’s do the COVID test. I feel so responsible for Je(Kaje) and his team’s health.

Let’s examine the article from the beginning.

Day 1 Lunch: Chinese food, Dinner: European food.

Day 1 : Lunch
I took them to China :D, but it was a little bit of Shantou food. Chinese veg stew are made earlier for more intense flavour (it’s the first time I made without mushroom) + Boiled peanut with soy sauce + Fried green. The tofu hamburgs were the highlighted.

Chaozhou Cuisine.
A local cuisine eaten mainly in Chaozhou and Shantou cities in China.
Also popular in Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.
It is characterized by the use of dried seafood such as Surume, dried oysters, dried fish, and shark’s fin, which are boiled to extract their umami flavor.
Because fresh seafood is available, seafood dishes such as fish and crab are made by steaming, there is also a wide variety of fish paste products such as tsumire (fish ball) made from fish, squid, and shrimp paste.

Day 1 : Dinner
Let's go to Europe with Spaghetti with Ratatouille, the side Garden, and Minestrone soup. As well as the Chinese veg stew, the ratatouille was planned and cooked ahead for more flavours also. pic.twitter.com/vY5rjC0Ggo

Day 2 Lunch: Japanese food, Dinner: Middle Eastern food.

Day 2 : Lunch
Maybe just get back to where they were from, Japan. I mixed the rice with Shiso + Hijiki and sesame to alter the rice flavour from day1. Fried veg with homemade teriyaki sauce + sauteed beansprout in sesame oil + Yasai tempura, and black miso soup with soy meal.

Day 2 : Dinner
Let's go to the Middle East with Falafel. I also made Hummus and Tahini sauce from scratch (It takes time but sometimes your inspiration blows your laziness away). Falafel is also one of my most favourite Middle East menu so I'd like Kaje and the team to try also. pic.twitter.com/TK5Do61koD

Snacks

malimali-san even prepared snacks. It couldn’t be better.

Day 1 Snack:
– Sweet Potato Ball (You can have this from the street trolley around BKK but I made this myself)
– Maple-glazed baked baby carrot (my fav too!)
– Chocolate chip cookies (my fav from now)
– Crunchy sweet peas (bought) pic.twitter.com/GqHEyExjI7

Maple glaze is a sweet topping made with powdered sugar, maple syrup, maple extract, milk, and salt.It is often used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts.

So you all can see Kaze team wouldn't be left hungry at all. I got good feedbacks for the meals and I was sure he and his team still stayed healthy during my feast.

I think his music and my food are on the same page. I was glad I met his music and he finally met my food.

Roti sai mai
A Thai snack consisting of a crepe-like roti made of flour and wrapped in a cotton candy coating called saimai.

P.S.2
Almost forgot to show the sketch when I designed the meals. I like improvising but first I needed to ensure that I envisioned it clearly beforehand. pic.twitter.com/VLY5Al2b2n

Designing meal sketches is one of the skills she learned in college.

It’s a truly excellent story.

I come across various stories while supporting my favorite. For example, there is someone who bought the same clothing as Kaze, and another person who scored a front-row ticket to Kaze’s concert. However, the most enviable thing I ever heard was malimali-san’s vegan cooking story because Kaze ate the food that malimali-san painstakingly prepared.

Wow, such happiness exists in this world!

Here’s additional information

In October, malimali-san visited Satosho town, which is Kaze’s hometown, and shared the details on X(Twitter). If you’re planning to go to Satosho town, you can check her tweets as a reference.

Kaze Stalker Diary, Oct 2023 – “The town where the wind is loved”

I finally managed to visit Satosho. Before I know “someone” there, Okayama has already been my favourite cities in Japan. So I’m on my side that, going to Satosho as an extra trip of my return for Okayama was not… pic.twitter.com/IPlAAkbEDZ
