Yummy Tuna Bowl
Last week, I tried this bowl out and it was soooooooooooooooo yummy. And only like….$5 something! There was another one topped with crab meat, but…..sometimes that kind of crab meat just tastes salty, you know? So I got the tuna, and it was sooooooooooooooo good. Sooooooooooooooooo good. In the next few days, I was dreaming about eating it again. So I did…and it was soooooooooooooooooo good. I mean…it tastes just like the sushi, but….eating it like this, in a bowl, is kind of different! There is something amazing about wolfing down a bowl instead of picking up pieces one by one and eating them.
This week, I went to Mitsuwa again to eat this…and they didn’t have it anymore. Was it a limited edition? What was so special about last week? Will I never be able to experience the yummy goodness that is this bowl? /cry At least I got to eat it two times…
Cheese Bit
These are…ooooooooookay. They are very light though, and I’m guessing they are more healthy than your average American brand salty chip. These are more like puffs in the shape of tiny chips.
1/3 of the package is 6g of fat, 140mg of sodium (pretty good I think), and 2% Calcium, woohoo!
Huntington Library
I went to the Huntington Library today! I’ve been there lots of times, but this time seem more fun than before. My favorite part was the atrium because they have a lot of new exhibits to look at there were more hands-on experimenting. You can smell and feel plants, and look through the microscope!
This is called Redemption. Looks kind of scary!
Haystacks. I really like this picture for some reason. I think because it looks so calm, but inspiring.
I like the colors! Looks like a lot of fun! I didn’t catch the name of this one…
This was actually a bigger picture, but I liked this one part of it.
Koi! I love they way they move their mouth.
What?
Kamiya Dojo! I think of Kenshin when I see this. My house in Sims2 look a lot like this! I’m going to build something like this if I’m ever rich.
The willow is one of my favorite trees. It’s so gloomy and elegant.
I’m sorry for the 7-8 people that were erased from this picture.
This is what it looked like before. Flipping back and forth is pretty trippy. If only it were so simple to remove people in real life…
The Chinese Garden
I saw long hallways like this one in China, but they were about 10x longer.
Sooooo pretty!
I think someone was feeding the ducks even though they weren’t supposed to…
The Atrium ceiling. I want an atrium in my house too.
No, the picture isn’t upside-down. This flower grows that way! Cuuuuute. I don’t remember the name though <: (
I like this kind of space. Large floor to ceiling windows and wood flooring.
Hello Mister Sea Cucumber! You were not very yummy. Mister Peking Duck served me better. At some big Chinese restaurant in Diamond Plaza in Rowland Heights. Found it: New Capitol Restaurant. If you spend more than $30, depending on how many people you have in your party, you get free food. We had 5 people so we got a free 2 pounds of either lobster or Swimming Water Shrimp. We got the shrimp. We actually went to this place for lunch either for their dim sum. It was really good! They had a lot of variety and not too expensive.
Mitsuwa love
There are so many home-ec things at Mitsuwa that are so tempting to buy. Those Japanese people really know how to make things that look so efficient and clean! You buy it and you want to think “This will really work! Look how wonderful it is!” and they really pay attention to their packaging. I bought this air freshener today. You should see the instructions on how to assemble it. There is a square felt piece you put over the felt inserts that soak up the perfume so that it disperses, and if you want an extra boost, you can press to spray. The cover says “Air wash, mist plus. Fruit flora fragrance (?)”
There are little colored transparent balls in the liquid that float around. So cute! What is it made out of? I almost want to fish them out but I don’t want to ruin their habitat! There may be a specific balance of chemicals that I don’t want to disrupt <: (.
I also got something I’ve had my eye on for awhile.
Mikan-chan. Lip cream! The label seems to say there is collagen in it “Koraagen”. oOooo. The reason why I got this is because it’s shaped in a cute little mikan! Kind of like the little Cuties clementines you see at the market, or manderin oranges. And it smells sooooooooo good. I wish I could waft some of this smell onto the internet. They have these in a bigger size for hand lotion as well.
You can smell it once you open it. MmmmM! Imagine this in your purse…eee! > <. Totally a summer must-have for me. They have a red apple one…and I’m sure I’ve seen another kind…I think it was peach. Peach!! Maybe I have to get that one too.
