I had instant ramen for dinner tonight. It looked pretty simple at first, but it turned out to have a surprisingly fancy scallop-flavored broth that tasted wonderful. It made for a very nice change of pace from my usual spicy ramyun! 🥢
Today Bay made us some cocktails inspired by the TV show Twin Peaks. It had a coffee-infused liqueur on the bottom and a blue Curaçao cream on top. It didn’t taste very good at first, but after mixing it well, it wasn’t terrible – tasted more like a very strong, boozy shake. It’s safe to say it’s one drink we won’t be having again! ☕🍸
I was trying to pour a basic heart for my latte art today, but it ended up looking like a dabbing rabbit. I don’t know if I’ll ever learn how to do this right! 😄☕
Is this sashimi or carpaccio? 🍣 I’m not completely sure, but at any rate, it was delicious! 😋
A friend came over for dinner tonight, and wow, it turned into a huge feast! 🍽️ On top of everything you see in the photos, we even had karaage. Needless to say, we were all stuffed by the end.
Tonight we had two kinds of dumplings: Har Gow and Gyoza. And to go with that, yummy fried rice! 🥟 This a truly a comfort meal for Asian families.
One of my small goals for this year was to make tamagoyaki. Surprisingly, I’d never actually made it on my own before, even though it’s a pretty simple way to cook eggs. Mariko gave it a thumbs-up, so I’m counting that as a win. 😄🥚
