ShikiMikie Kare Rice Recipe!

November 01, 2019 0
ShikiMikie Kare Rice Recipe!
Kare rice is probably that one food I can eat everyday. It's so easy to make! And it is so delicious! With the emergence of instant kares though, which I don't have anything against by the way, it's still nice to make one from scratch I suppose. I can't make the curry from scratch so thank curry cubes for that. 


So, all you have to do is to put all the ingredients in and let it all boil together. Then add the cubes to make the kare sauce. Then done! When I make this, I can eat this for like, 3 days straight. This has been my favorite ever since I can remember so yeah. Can I just say that not all people like this. Like, my mom said it taste like medicine so yeah. Can’t relate. 


I like my Kare spicy spicy ! Like, max. Although the one they sold at the supermarket already at max, it’s not spicy enough for me so what I do is I add chili oil. I also add shio kosho to taste. 


This is soo easy to do. This is actually the simplest ingredients you can put in. I add broccoli sometimes but that wouldn’t make the kare last as long. The most difficult part of this cooking process is the cutting of ingredients which I am yet to love. Also, can I just say that the secret of the recipe is to serve it with hot rice!! That’s all!

Den Yakiniku Review

Den Yakiniku Review
 
Starting platter. So basically this is for you to figure out what you want but if you go to a place like this, you order everything you see on the menu and then figure out what you like later. Take it from me. Actually, you don't really have to figure out anything. Just eat. GDI. 
 
 
They also have a salad bar which I was smart not to touch this time. 

 

 
Fruits, salad dressings, and jellies
 
Grilling time!!
 
Man, I ate a lot again! Like, why? I always do that though. I eat until I feel sick. Story of my life.

They also have a drink bar but it didn't have tea bags so obviously, we weren't able to take home those from here. I'm just kidding. NOT. Can I just say though, if you can't sleep at night, you know how they say drink warm milk, right? Some say drink chamomile tea, right? When I mixed them, boom. Soooo effective!! No more sleepless nights. I happily shared this formula with my mom and she was like, uhm...I don't really have a problem sleeping. K.
 
hot chocolate
ice cream bar
yas!
At this point, it's worth mentioning that I can't anymore with meat but betcha I can still eat probably a gallon of ice cream because I'm a fatty like that. You already know. 

 

 

So yeah I'm so glad that we were able to eat meat because that's basically what I crave all of the time. Bye~

Ichiran Ramen Japan

Check List 

Also, the one in Harajuku, I didn't wait as long as I waited in Shibuya. Which is always nice! 

Ramen 

You can see the first time I tried Ichiran in this post. Totally different vibe but still not as good as I expected. 


I retried Ichiran because I don't want to not like it. As much as I don't like mainstream anything, I can't just let this go. But then again it didn't turn out exactly like I want to so I retried again. Persistence is key. 


This is already the best combination I could imagine. Steamed Pork with Nori, Special Vinegar, and Ramen. I also changed my list a little by ordering them to put a stronger tasting broth but it didn't make a significant difference. 

Steamed Pork
My Ramen

I remember hearing two Japanese guys sitting beside me talking how they missed and really like it but no! Not me. But you know! Still! I might give this another try someday but now, it's just not my cup of tea. Ciao!

New Calbee Potato Chips.

July 17, 2016 0
New Calbee Potato Chips.

Huge fan of potato chips. In fact, it's my guilty pleasure. Sometimes even though I don't feel like eating the whole bag, I do! Just because. It's a problem. Anyways.


Calbee is my favorite potato chips brand and they do come up with new flavors a lot but I feel like that they're doubling up this time for some reason. Coming up with flavors week after week. 

Ume
Shio
Wasabi

 Needless to say, Wasabi is my least favorite. Shio is okay. Ume is good. I probably won't buy anything from this line though but it's not totally a disaster. 

Garlic Soy Sauce

Not really a fan but generally a good flavor and I did enjoy actually.

Sour and Cream

What could go wrong with good old sour and cream, right? This was awesome. Not quite remarkable though but it was delish. Anyways, ciao!

Pig out at Yakiniku King

Pig out at Yakiniku King


Yakiniku King. There are lots of Yakiniku Tabehodai (all-you-can-eat) around here and this is just one of the chains. The ultimate goal is to actually taste all the Yakiniku chains around Japan. 


I have been here twice with Bry. The first time was in Takasaki and the second time was in Maebashi. Both in Gunma. There's one here in Machida but I haven't got the chance to go there yet.




Our favorite meat! 

Too much fat. I like it. The difference of Takasaki and Maebashi is that in Takasaki, the meat they gave us is this massive (the picture) and then in Maebashi, it's about half the size. We ordered it about three times and then the third time, they gave us the massive one. Why are we so matakaw? Hahaha


Cow tongue and pork sausage. In general, I like King's meat better than Takarajima's. I don't know. It's probably just me. 




Meat




More meat


Desert


That's my conclusion. I like it! It's a little bit more expensive than Takarajima's but I think it's worth it. Also, the time limit here is kind of shorter than Takarajima's so all in all, it's a little bit more expensive. Ciao!

Peyong VS Peyoung Yakisoba?

March 20, 2016 0
Peyong VS Peyoung Yakisoba?

Peyong vs Peyoung. Actually, it's kind of the same. I really can't tell the difference but you know, if I really have to choose, I'd choose the classic Peyoung. Just because I'm used to the taste. 


They do look kind of the same. All the little things and all. The classic Peyoung being more expensive than this new Peyong. Interesting because it's under the same company. Look at them trying to make lotsa money. 


The main difference is that the KAYAKU doesn't have little pork bits. Also, its sauce is milder compared to the other.

 
It looks like this. Same thing basically. Minus the pork bits. Ciao!

Sakura flavoured Pepsi

March 18, 2016 0
Sakura flavoured Pepsi






I like trying out new things and this one, I'm kind of hesitant because I don't really like Sakura flavoured stuff. Because come on! Why? Cherry is kind of a different thing but Sakura? As in the tree or something? NO! Who would want to eat something from that? Sure it's pretty to look at but no, it's not food. 











Anyways, it was okay. It taste the Pink Red Bull actually. I remember last time though that I saw Pepsi Pink and I actually didn't try but you know, I imagine it would actually taste the same. Ciao!

Time for Oden!

Time for Oden!
Don't get me wrong though. Anytime is a fairly good time to have Oden. I remember getting them as early as August haha but since it's getting colder now, this time of the year is best to start devouring for a cup (or two). 


If you're wondering where to get yourself one, go-to Oden is pretty much a convenience store thing. Usually at the counter, it's quite easy to spot. Depending on the store's policy, sometimes they do allow you to scoop things out from their little machine thingy directly to your cup. But most of the time, they do the job because some of the ingredients are quite delicate so they probably don't want the hassle of mashed bits in there. 

FAMILY MART


It's good to eat a bowl during winter. It can keep you warm and all that. 

7/11

LAWSON

7/11

ORIGIN BENTOU

If you can't tell already, I love DAIKON! :)) Anyways, I got to say that 7/11 is probably my favorite place to get an Oden. It's just that I think they do have more variety to choose from and it's really quite yummy and distinct compared to others. They also have this packet of Miso paste that you can add to the soup and boy it do wonders. All in all, there's really not a bad place to get Oden. I guess it's just a matter of preference. Ciao!
