My Top Japanese Snacks

Image
Childhood favourite snacks. They say change is good but boy, not for snacks I think. These are legit good by the way! :) Leggo!  1. Nori Potato Chips  The OG! Back in my day, there are only two variants. The other one is the salted chips in orange bag but even then I liked this better. I actually like this better than any chips out in the market right now. And man there are way sooo many!!  2. Chocolate Chou Cream  Man, this brings back so many good memories! Hidemi and I used to devour this!! I don't even like the real deal chou cream. You know, it's the consistency of it that I am not a fan of but this one is actually good! Well mainly because this is more like the junk food version but whatever.  3. Galbo I'm not a fan of chocolate on its own but if it's with wafer or something, I'm all for it! This one is my favorite of its kind. It's actually the mini version of what I used to eat growing up. It's totally the same but the original packaging is more ...

Coisof Harajuku Ice Cream

Image
Coisof Harajuku  Menu I actually just saw the ad for this shop on Facebook and since it's literally blocks away from where I work, I came to try. It's actually a shop that serves savory ice cream (kind of). Coisof is a shop that serves sesame seed flavored ice cream. I know I'm not gonna be a fan but I tried it anyways.     I tried the mixed flavored one so to taste both flavors at the same time. The flavors are white and black sesame seed and the balls are rice pops. The rice pops are my favorite! Soooo good!! Don't skip the rice pops please! Can I just say that when I went there, they have a promo that they can put more rice balls for free and I was like, no thanks! But man, when I tried it, I was like, more more more!!   selfie It's actually not bad. I kinda like it to be honest. I might try it again soon. You know, there are just a lot of things to try and look forward to! :)

Namaste | Nepali Food is love

Image
    My favorite Nepali friend.  We may differ in views and all other stuff but you know, she's still my favorite. I'm not in any way tolerating all her deeds but she's my fave.     Chicken Tikka!   Supposed to eat TANDORI but since we're tamad, we ate the boneless version. It was kinda good!    mango lashi   I also like their LASHI. Must have been very popular in Nepal because every restaurant I went to offers this.    momo Nothing really special about this momo. I just think I like GYOZA better.        Also nothing special is this garlic rice. I mean, it's not even a Nepali food but since we ordered, must include!   lashi and chicken tikka my lunch set   Cheese Nan for the win! It's sooooooo good!    Mutton and Keema Kare At this particular restaurant. I ordered the hottest option for kare which I wouldn't ever do again. I still enjoyed my food though! I just thought I would have enjoyed it b...

Zushikaigan Beach 2017

Image
ombre skin tan or what? That uneven tan is from Enoshima Beach. So I thought I'd be able to fix my tan by going to this beach but oh well. Let's see!  Shin-Zushi. Somehow I feel so uneasy going to this place. You know, someone I used to know lives here. Oh well. Goodness gracious. Bitter??? Hahaha the beach It was so early when I got there. The sun was not even out. Well actually, the sun was not out until about 10-ish and I got there around 8.  The water is/was hella clearer in Zushi than Enoshima. Though the only problem that I saw is that it was very rocky! I didn't swim or anything so it wasn't really a problem from me.  beauty Also, because it's jellyfish season already, not a lot of people came. Bonus for me to be honest! But!! Lots of barking dogs so as much as I wanted to sleep whilst tanning, I wasn't able to.  And with that being said, the unevenness of my tan just got a little worst. Tan is almost gone by the way so don't a...

Ramen 壱角家 Sagamihara

Image
  Second nearest ramen house from my place so you know what that means! Food trip!    stamp card   I have been here a total of 5 times I guess. It's not fantastic but it's not bad either so I'm not really mad about it.      This is one of the modern ramen houses around town which I'm okay with but you know I kinda prefer the old school kind of shops where you just see everything being done in front of you.    alcoholic coke and chashu tonkotsu ramen    The chashu was very delightful! I liked it.    tonkotsu ramen   This is probably my favorite. I mean, I know I vowed to only compare chashu ramen from ramen shops but you know it's good to come back couple of times to compare a couple of items from the shop itself as well.    Ajitama Ramen It's a very common ramen shop and you can always find similar tasting ramen everywhere here in Japan so yeah. That's all!  

Enoshima Beach with Friends

Image
  Made a fool out of myself with this hairstyle. Yup. I was so happy that this trip came to life as planned two years in a row already. We were all like, if we don't go now, we all know it wouldn't happen at all this year and so we went.    sunbathing   I came here to tan more than to swim but I can't seem to achieve such. That tan is actually just the tent's shadow. Also, I was babysitting most of the time. Don't ask.   Yas   This is actually the nearest beach from all of our places so we decided to go here. Also, we were with a child who might not like long hours of travel.   It was not very pretty. Water was hella muddy. View was chaotic. Sun was perfect though.    Enoshima Yuki Chan   I have been here in my early years (according to my mother) but you know, I have no idea. It all looked new to me.    yas   This is us 5 hours later.    Yuki, Mikie, Sara, Ate Michelle   We didn't h...

April Skin Magic Snow Cushion Review

Image
oily mess   Cushion thingy has been around for quite a while but it's my first time getting one and here's what I think about it.    Pink Beige   They do have three shades available and I got the one in the middle. I didn't get the lightest shade this time because it's not as promising as this one. It only said something about fairness and stuff whilst this one said it's radiating and brightening.      This says it only has 15g worth of product. I don't really know how much that is but you know, the Maybelline BB Cream that I use everyday has 30ml in it and I've been using it for what? 6 months already? So yeah! I'm not really heavy on make up so maybe this will last me long as well. Anyways. To be honest, I'm not a fan. It's too watery for my liking. In a sense that it takes too much time to apply because you really have to layer it and stuff to get the coverage it promises. This took me around 5 minutes to apply. Well you know, compared to when...
