Anney's Kitchen Part 1

At first, I wanted to make a version of oyakodon. But I was craving for some cheese as well.. and viola! FUSION~~ Japanese egg fried rice with melted cheese (broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers, and fishballs)! 

It was delicious :)

The other night I was really craving for stuffed bell peppers.. I didn't find a particular recipe online that I liked, so I just went with whatever. I marinated the minced pork with garlic, soy sauce, pepper and salt. It turned out great! Of course, a meal isn't complete without veggies `~~ ^^

Before

After

La Cafe Michi

 I've been urbanspooning a lot and addicted to Japanese food (non-sushi buffet) recently. Thank you Raymond for bringing me there! I was starving that day haha. Heard some good reviews for their unatama and green tea cake!

Shirley ordered: Seafood Hotpot Udon! I think Watami's had more variety in toppings, but this still looks delicious.

Seafood Hotpot Udon

Raymond was going to order Chicken terriyaki combo, but I commented that it was too plain and the chicken tama(egg) rice would be better. Unfortunately, we forgot to tell them to leave out the onions!

Chicken Egg Rice

YUM! I ordered the unatama combo! That's the reason I came here for, hehe :) This dish was delicious, but the picture looks more filling than it is.

Unatama (Eel Egg Rice)

Onto desserts..

Raymond ordered the hazelnut cake. It was like coffee(i think) mousse with some hazelnut crumbs and sponge cake base. 

Hazelnut Cake

Ah.. their famous green tea cake! I was really excited about it since it has green tea and red bean mousse. It wasn't as phenomenal as I expected it to be. Maybe because I tried it after the bailey's cheesecake and hazelnut cake, the green tea cake's taste wasn't as strong in comparison.

Green Tea Cake

 Shirley got the bailey's cheesecake. Personally, I think there are better cheesecake out there. This one tasted pretty normal like a New York cheesecake. Though I do like how they didn't overdo the cream cheese. Some cafes make the cheesecake wayyy too cheesey.

Bailey's Cheesecake

So yeah.. with each lunch combo comes with a cake for around $15~$18 which is pretty decent. My unatama combo came with miso soup and japanese garden salad :) Oh yeah, I also wanted to try their famous green tea creme brulee..

It was really delicious!

Green Tea Creme Brulee

I definitely would like to come back with the girlies someday. I think they would really enjoy it :)

Toodles~!

What a week?!

2 weeks ago, I woke up with minor shin pain - my lower shin area was tense. I didn't care much about it and hoped it would go away. 5 days has passed and it progressed up to my knee. It hurts when I walk/sit/do nothing. My muscles felt inflamed and I felt little bumps on my medial shim.

Raymond finally convinced me to see a walk-in doctor. I was planning to see the campus doctor, but they said they don't have any openings that day. Therefore, I went to see the walk-in doctor at the plaza. Luckily, I only waited for 20 mins.

It was weird at first since the nurse asked me to get my urine sample out of no reason? Anyways, I talked to Dr. Flowitt and she diagnosed it as "Shin Splints". The possible causes for this could be wearing improper shoes or excessive exercise. I'd assume it would be my boots. She prescribed me some anti-inflammatory pills.

That night I microwaved my leftovers(tomato pasta) from 3 days ago and took my pills after that. One hour later, my stomach started to burnnnnnn. I googled the symptoms and people say it is gastric/acid reflux which is basically your stomach acid trying to go backwards on your food tract - not good.

I feel like puking and it was hard to swallow. Bad bad experience. I think if it were to be more serious.. I could get uclers. Poop.

I waited for a few days and am still waiting for it to go away.. It's starting to feel better, but I'm still not pooping regularly.

Meanwhile this whole time, I was craving for japanese bento food like crazy. Thanks Sandy for accompanying me to Watami. I had a great first experience, so I wanted to go back and try their other foods. She ordered seafood udon and I opted for the chicken terriyaki combo. My food was not worth for what it is priced. The portion was wayyy too small for what it is priced ($16.95). Watami tasted better when I went with Ata and Mich. Maybe they changed the owner? I wouldn't want to go back again.

Btw, I lost weight since school started which was weird to me. I've been eating out and eating fatty foods like no tomorrow.

Crabby Joe's with Cheryl and Karen

Cheryl & Karenbaby

First time hanging out with them since fall term started. School has been such a bitch to us =( Hopefully.. It'll get better after midterms! I miss you girls!

We had dinner at Crabby Joe's. We opted for their Tuesday Wings special which was like 39cents/wings + a drink purchase. Drinks are priced reasonably, $2.69 for a soft drink and $4ish for beer? We wings + fries for 5.99! It was truly filling. I liked their combo better than Morty's because they gave us the option of getting a side. Plus, I like them smaller because it is easier to put in the mouth - that's what she said.

Next time, I definitely want to try their after 9pm half price appetizers. Their loaded cheese fries and nachos looks amazing (for only $5 each).

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm celebrating Thanksgiving by myself at Waterpoooo~~

Summer Cottage Trip 2011

This summer I went to Blue Mountain with Raymond and his friends for cottage trip. The prep for it was a bitch, but it was a fun weekend :)

One word. Tanned.

Eating with Ata and Mich @ Loo

Watami's unagi don~` The fried rice was yum in my tum :3

Ata and I went to Vincenzo's and I ended up buying 3 cakes hehe XD

3 Piggys @ Bauer's Kitchen!

... and more food adventures to come~~~~

Taste of Danforth

I love, love, love Taste of Danforth. I love it's crowdedness and huge selections of vendors.

This was cheap and delicious pulled pork poutine :)

The chicken souvlaki was alright. Tasted normal..

First time having raw oysters.. Didn't know what to expect XO

Cheap mango slushie from Starbucks.. YUM!

Shaanxi Legend and Go for Tea

Hi Raymond, you have sexy lips! Hehe ^_~

On the way to meet up with my girlies for dinner..

Here are two of my fav dishes from Shaanxi Legend Restaurant

The sauce for the pork slices was uber delicious, NOMNOMNOM.

I think I ordered blueberry green tea from Go for Tea :)

Toronto Buskerfest

I brought my Sis out to Buskerfest. It was my first time going to one. When we got off the train, people were handing out free Bud Light at the parking lot. Too bad my sister is underage, or else I would've ask her to get me another case, pwuahaha.

Buskerfest was kind of a disappointment. I thought there were be more shows and activities. It was kind of empty? And there were very few food vendors.

But yeah, you can never go wrong with Tiny Tom Donuts with apple cinnamon powder ^_^~!

CNE with Raymond and friends

I'm always excited to go to CNE every summer. It never gets old. I love tom's mini donuts, cheap warehouse sales, animal farm, and the game booths!

We dropped by the CNE casino first.. It was smaller than I imagined it to be. Not long after, we were starving and swung by the Food Building. I really really want to try krispy creme donut cheese burger, but as always burgers are beef. I opted for a

pogo stick and this huge greasy onion rings ($10). They were definitely not worth it.

We didn't spend much time at the shopping section. We practically went from game booths to game booths to win plushies. I really don't understand guys. Why waste that money to have achance to win when you can shop!?

We got lured into this booth where no strategy was required. It was based on luck. I think it was like $2/person/try. All 6 of us ended up with a "small prize", but we added it up and traded with a "medium prize" that still looked small =/. I say 2/5 of our time was trying to win this tiny tiny domo plushy. In the end, almost everyone had 2 domo plushies.

We were super tired by the time we got home.
