Nunobiki Herb Garden in Kobe, Japan from my trip back in September.

A garden in the afternoon being watered automatically

Lots of flowers, mostly in purple and lavender colored. Not sure what kind

My favorite ramen place changed their seasonal starter from Salmon Gravlax to Grilled Octopus with Mojo Rojo sauce. Hands down the most tender octopus I’ve ever had in my life. 🤯🤯🤯

My favorite ramen place changed their system, now it’s a set menu with seasonal starter. Still as exceptional and thoughtful as ever.

In my neck of the woods we eat fried cabbage. Basically we cook it until it looks like this. Crisp and sweet.

I hope you can spread the words about what’s happening in Jakarta. The guy who got struck by the police armored vehicle just turned 21 last month.

Then garlic soy edamame. I used 10 cloves of garlic for half a kilo of edamame. Chiu Chow Chili Oil from Lee Kum Kee really helps the taste. My mom said I should sell it LOL.

Crispy fried kangkong/morning glory. This recipe can be used for spinach too, I think. Stick with mushroom powder instead of chicken powder. Chicken powder made it tastes like fritters from street vendors.

Also karaage last week. Husband wants it to be more crispy. So I guess I’ll use that flour mix instead of pure potato starch tomorrow. Maybe I shoud reduce the shoyu because apparently the flour mix is seasoned already? Don’t want it to be too salty.

I made Japanese chicken curry today. Using the boxed roux of course, because who has time to make it from scratch. It’s nice that Iron Chef’s Masaharu Morimoto encouraged the use of boxed roux so I feel less lazy.

Made another batch of mayak gyeran. One of the eggs cracked during the boiling process but somehow still salvageable. Still tasty AF.

This is the offensive photo according to Instagram. I could post a half naked photo and it'll be just fine but a photo of marinated eggs is suspend worthy?
