I am a victim of BUY ONE GET ONE FREE fraud. I should have thought it through. First of all, the name of the product is Lidz, not Lids. That’s already shady. And the guy Chef Tony who also sells various other kitchen items with a loud voice is quite shady… According to Wiki, he […]

Missing El Cid
Sorry there are no pics. I just have to write about this, especially since someone in charge of this site is on vac(or f!!k)ation or whatever the bullshit she claims, but show must go on. We have to satisfy our devoted readers. I just went to this new tapas place on 19th and 8th Ave […]

Looks Good, Feels Good, But Doesn’t Taste Good
Marshmallow. Why did I decide to make marshmallows? I made castella for Kayoko’s mom, thanking her hospitality when we visited Cupertino. It uses about 15 eggs, 7 whole eggs and 7 yolks. I had 7 egg whites left. That’s why. I could have made macarons, but I am kind of taking a break from it. […]

Do You Believe In “As Seen on TV”?
I am an infomercial whore. Whenever I go to a suburban mall, and find an “As Seen On TV” store, I have to go and check it out. Some of the items can be purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond, and the other day, I bought Debbie Meyer’s Green Bags. Although images on the box […]

Stylish and Tasty Food
I was invited to a house party the other day. No one usually cooks for me and it was a nice change. People don’t cook for me since I am 1. critical about everything I eat, 2. I do cook a lot for people, so 3. people might get too intimidated. He made us a […]

Ryotofu
*If you don’t know what Kyotofu is, you won’t understand the title… I haven’t cooked a while since I was away. Now my culinary endeavors have to go an extra mile for something that takes long. So I went to Sunrise Mart to search for something that takes long to make. Recently, I’ve been seeing […]
UM Redux: Sushi Kuni Experience (Cupertino)
I made it to Cupertino to meet the Kakaboris. I was with my mother, and on our way to Half Moon Bay, we stopped by there. It was about an hour drive from San Francisco. We rented a huge ass Chevrolet minivan, which was like, “who the hell drives this kind of monstrous gas guzzler […]

Search for “Made in California”
I am back from my trip to CA and WA. It was nice hanging out with mom, but 10 straight days was a bit too much. Eating out every meal for 10 days was not cool either. I did have good meals, but not as much as I could have. Mom also cooks like me, […]

SGY? WTF!? SFO Diary 1
I am in SFO this week with my mom. Surprisingly mother is doing pretty well despite 17 hour time difference between here and Japan. We are having a very good time, especially in terms of the dining scene. I will blog all about it once I get back to New York, but I had to […]

Queen of Fruit
Why do we call Durian the king of fruit? Possible answers may be: 1. It stinks like a lazy king who doesn’t bathe.2. It’s prickly surface reminds people of an asshole scar faced king.3. Outer shell is so large, but inside is very small, which might represent a kings mental stability (you know, barking dogs).Whatever […]
