this is the Udon that i like, there are other ones that i love too, but this one is good. not only they made their UDON in the shop by themselves, and the price is just awesomely CHEAP!@

guess how much this thing is? i think it is 300+ yen.

and the MOST wonderful thing is, you have ALL the green onion you want!!!!! u know how troublesome it is to buy the darn onion and cut it? and then have to store them and ya ya ya, whatever that is. i mean, green onions here are not cheap, when u see them in the supermarket, i don’t know if the price is “attractive” enough for u to want to buy them, seriously.

oh mine oh mine, and look at the egg … the infamous half-boiled egg, just irresistible!!!!!!!!!!

sorry i am only being a darn asian appreciate some super great simple food.

look at this green onion, it is so heaven to me!!!!!!!!!!

thanks LORD.

um, actually i do not know how to cook.

the guesthouse i live is great, but there is one setback, the kitchen is on first floor, super beautiful, don’t get me wrong, really, pretty. but i live on 3rd floor and if i get hungry and have to cook i need to go to 1st floor? and bring ALL the crap with me while i am super forgetful?

nah. so, i am super lazy at about “cooking”. if i am hungry, i want to eat and i WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! i mean, i cannot imagine myself wasting time everyday to stand in front of the kitchen, probably more than 30-40 min., to make a meal that looks liek a real meal, however, it would have the same “NUTRITION” as i would just microwave and can be done in 3 minutes?

i think i prefer the latter.

call me lazy, but efficiency is very important. i care not the taste but only the nutrition of the food. i mean, i would still spend time at “cutting” the darn cabbage, but “home cooking” is all just about “nutrition” to me, if i want real food, i bought it outside, like i said before, the food here is … still keep me entertained.

so i talked so much trash before and what am i trying to say?

here, see the egg? of course u do.

and the power below it is “pancake power”, u know the thing u mix the powder and the egg and you can fry some pancake? ya, that is a great idea but not for me when i want sometime at midnight and the kitchen is a mile away.

so i decided to try to make a “cup cake”, not the CHEESY american one but a cake in a CUP, so cute, isn’t it?

i mixed it, put some water …

and there you go, a cake in a cup … so nice, i LOVE it ^^

sorry, now, whoever that has enough free time to read my writing, you would have to read about “FOOD”. it is amazing how the FOOD here can just keep entertaining me, or sometimes u can call it 癒す.

i have had SOOOOOOO many countless trouble living here, all the stress and frustrations and failure, however, no matter what the days are, there is almost not one day, i wish, … i can try eating “this” or i wish i can try eating “that” …

i always think, if the food in the SUPER are all free … my GOD, heaven on earth …

amazing consider how LONG i have been in japan but still, STILL i not yet tired of the many different type of food here and i STILL can soooo attracted everytime i went to convenience stores, supermarkets, … whatever …

my 食欲 is beyond your imagination … i mean, crying out loud, it even beyond mine.

now, let me introduce to you the “instant ramen” that captured my heart before. i “think” the first time i ate it, i bought it in 100yen shop, and i was SOOOOO thrilled how amazingly good this Ramen is and i just wished i had bought more, but too bad, i never found it again.

i kept the bowl, (i cleaned it, no worry) for almost a year, but i still not found it.

then after i moved to here, ONE DAY, i saw a VERY similar thing in LAWSON!

but this time is 218 yen, MY goodness, it almost killed me, since i was SOOO super jobless that time. but i curiosity drove me to buy it.

but for some reason …

this is the side of it, ain’t it pretty?

but for some reason, … it just not taste the same.

was that i expect too much? or they just changed the taste …?

the noodle’s 質感, just feel different … um.

i think this is like one of the busiest week i ever have my goodness …

i went to interviews, and i also, very very lucky, seems can go to work every day if i want with this new “part-time”, it is called a “part-time” but geez, go to work every single day, but only WED off?

plus i also have 2 other part-times, lucky the university one already told me this month only have just 1 time, but still, next month, professor said there would be work every week … and suddenly, i have a few students that want to see me every week, lucky there is one that i not even require to take trains, what a blessing …

but there is an old student that want me to see him tomorrow, at first i really did not want to, but consider the salary, not great, but really better than nothing … so i offered him to pay HALF the train fee instead of ALL, since i have moved now the fee is outrageously HIGH, and far … 1.5 hour to go. BUT, consider the shit little money that i earn from university, which not pay train fee, which much less per hour … i decide to go …
