 “Matcha Parfait” Torrance, 2025

Today I picked up Mariko and Bay from the airport, and after that we did a bit of shopping before stopping at Yamari for matcha. Mariko went for the matcha parfait, and I ordered a matcha latte. Both were really good and hit the spot after a busy afternoon.

In the evening we made our way to an old standby, CoCo Ichibanya Curry. I decided to mix things up and ordered the minced beef cutlet curry with cheese. It was decent, but the curry was not very hot temperature-wise, so the cheese did not melt as much as I had hoped. I also think I still prefer the pork cutlet over the minced beef. Still, it was fun to try something different, and CoCo always delivers a comforting meal.

 “Beef Curry” Cedar Park, 2025

A couple of days ago I mentioned that pizza is one of our comfort foods. Well, tonight we had another favorite – Japanese curry! This one was a classic mix of beef, carrots, and potatoes. I think there’s enough left for two more family meals, which is always a win. It’s the best!

 “Super Sentai” Mexico City, 2025

Today we went to a Japanese curry restaurant, Hayateya Curry Japonés, for lunch. The place had a combination Samurai & Super Sentai Power Rangers theme, which was really fun and unexpected. The curry itself was not quite to my taste, but I did enjoy having a Coke. That felt like a novelty since I rarely drink soda.

Later that night, we stopped by a hamburger food stand for some huge burgers. The place was really popular, so we figured it had to be worth trying. The burger ended up being pretty good and very inexpensive too. A total win win.

 “Sri Lankan Chicken Curry” Cedar Park, 2025

Today I prepared one of our favorite meals (and one that I am able to make 😂): Sri Lankan Curry with Chicken. And of course, we have to have boiled egg with our curry. It’s a must!

Here’s the recipe I use:

 “Curry” Torrance, 2025

We made our obligatory trip to CoCo Ichibanya for some curry. It’s just a couple of minutes from my parents’ house, so it’s hard to resist! 😂

I ordered the pork cutlet with level 9 curry and added cheese. It was so good.

 “Dry Curry” Cedar Park, 2025

I’ve come to realize that curry is one of my favorite types of food. I love Japanese curry, Thai curry, Indian curry – pretty much every version I’ve tried. I honestly can’t remember ever having a curry I didn’t like. Tonight we had a dry curry, which brought back memories of a dish my mom used to make called “curry hamburger.” It was basically ground beef and vegetables cooked in a curry sauce, and it also had that dry-style consistency. Such a comforting and nostalgic meal!
