dont watch it when you are hungry
i started watching this show called UNIQUE SWEETs
it’s a 20 minute show that basically showcases desserts after desserts after desserts shot and uploaded in tantalizing HD..
so if you’re hungry or a huge sweet tooth, beware..
they are uploaded onto youtube by this uploader and i just saw this episode tonight, the rest of the episodes you can find on his channel. also there are episodes of THE LAYOVER with ANTHONY BOURDAIN, whom i love dearly…of course
chez meme baguette bistro

i didn’t really like the french onion soup…but mostly because i don’t like that type of food. the jarret (sp?) was good, i liked the lamb, really rich
but i definitely want to go back to try their delicious french toast!
kyoto (1)

morning rush


there is a “ramen street” at the kyoto JR station. I think it’s on the 7th or 11th floor. If you find a guide to the department store it’s easy to find. When we got there, it was too early and a lot of the shops werent open yet. I think the ‘street’ itself opens really early but shops remain closed until 11 am. So hang out and decide what you want to eat! I hate using the ticket vending machine….i just want to order…food…

what we ended up having….
forbidden palace 2



i don’t like to give a lot of advice because i don’t have a lot of advice to give, but if you are planning to visit the Forbidden Palace at any given point in your life, you MUST NOT eat at the restaurant there. It is disgusting, please bring your own food, be really full before you go in. You can buy drinks and stuff there but for god’s sake bring your own food.


sparklersss
i only have pictures from my first birthday dinner?! I don’t know what happened after that..haha

had dinner at a restaurant called… campagnolo I love Italian food! I love pasta! I love carbs, I need carbs and I need meat else I’ll just go crazy. It was my first time and I went with two friends, one of them is really into eating out and eating well, so he’s always to be trusted for food recommendations…

Sometimes I forget that Vancouver’s beautiful, if you’re into the lights on water kinda thing, I guesS

One of my friends bought sparklers for me!!!!! So sweet


afterwards went to eat cake and I couldn’t sleep because I ate so much …. it was a good night. It was a good birthday, thanks to everyone that came out and celebrated it with me!!!
shinsaibashi!
first day in osaka~~~

don’t get it, it’s not that good..

getting takoyaki from the SOURCE! the stand moved like 200m down from where it was last time i was there.

i think i look alright here so i’m showing this picture. i love this omurice place! it’s a really reasonably price too. i think two set meals were under 1000yen. really useless directions but it’s RIGHT next to H&M


grocery haul!!! i live on this vitamin C stuff cause i was sick the first day there.

then the typhoon hit…
we met again
posting a few pictures from when i visited my boss! at their shop.
about 3 years ago, i lived in japan for a bit less than 3 months. and i worked at a shop called Kushitaro
i had a blog at that time too but i lost the archives..and the pics? it’s somewhere on my facebook..i should try to get those back…
i washed dishes there and had so much fun
it was so nostalgic to visit again
i got to see my old boss + mama-san, two old customers, and one of my old coworkers ….
i should’ve said something before i visited ….and not just show up like that .__.




we’ll meet again
i really recommend their grill shop, so good!!! and not just cause i used to work there
everyone said my japanese got significantly worse lololol…
hotpot!



went back to haidilao they have the most amazing tomato soup base..omfg ..drooling
it’s more expensive than other hot pot places but a lot cleaner and service is always excellent, they provide aprons for its patrons which is always important…
i went to a couple of hotpot places last year too…
eating
a lot of this
often
and preferably everyday
but im in nanjing now…and i haven’t seen a single stand
while in beijing there are 3 every block ;___;

i guess i found a way around the twitter dilemma in china, i GUESS…
a lot of people (even people that i know, no we’re no longer friends after i found that out) think these places are dirty to eat at. ITS not..the cleanest, but it tastes so goood and i’ve never even had a slight stomachache eating at these places!
i recommend people going…honestly, you won’t regret it
i recommend the lamb meat, and the lamb cartilage, omfg so good and beer, lots of beer
