x. Over Ordering, Full-Time Eating, Good Company

[ Art done by R.E.C ]

Hallo Ocarina! How is everyone doing? The weekend is coming and I'm hoping it's going to be sunny on Saturday. I would like to bring Beemo out to a park or something, and we could do a casual walk. It looks like he's back to normal, but we're still taking it easy with play time and walkies. So weather Kami Sama, please bless me a sunny weekend!!

I got another random blog post for you all, and fair warning, there's quite a bit of food photos! I'm going to start out with my ladies dine out hang out. Awhile ago, I went to go meet up with some lovely ladies from FFXIV Faerie server!! We decided to grab katsu dons for dinner and it was DELICIOUS. I ordered two dishes, and yes, I finished it all o(≧∇≦o) Sharing? What is that even?

We later decided to grab drinks after dinner and spent some time "gossiping". LMAO just kidding or am I? I think my drink turned out well but that is because I asked for 30% sweet (normally, I ask for half sweet and no to less ice). The other girls didn't adjust their sweetness level and apparently it was just intense sugar water. 

Few months ago, Sas and I tried a Dutch brunch restaurant. The atmosphere is cute and I like the interior design. 

I must say the food was edible. It wasn't like "Whoa!" and it was pretty overpriced. I could also get these brunch dishes somewhere else, for a bit more and for a better deal. At least our services was good and made our experience in the restaurant enjoyable!

I also had a get together with a few of my high school friends. We decided to go for dimsum, and yes, I woke up early enough and on time for this (12PM is hard, okay??). So my friends decided to give me the power to order things aka me ordering a shit ton of food ( ´ ▽ ` )b I LOVE DIM SUM OKAY!?

This was SUPER bomb, I love Chinese donuts. Omg and if you pair it up with congee, it's GOOD!

Now for dessert, again, I got the ordering power. So guess what I did? I ORDERED EVERY SINGLE DESSERT THEY GOT ON THE MENU. When our waiter got our order, he went like: Wow...! * surprised Pikachu face * LOL

Okay the best dessert is obviously their durian mochi, it's just so heavenly, I love it so much. 

The other desserts were pretty good too. I thought the egg tarts were done well. For some reason, they put the egg yolk buns under dessert instead of a main dish. It can be messy, but there are more civilized ways in eating the egg yolk bun. I don't judge people for breaking it apart LOL

I shall wrap up the blog post with one more dinner outing with another high school friend. We occasionally like to eat at food courts and surprise ourselves - whether the food was good, bad, or it was a massive ripoff. My friend offered me a beer, although, I didn't drink at the time because I had to drive home later.

The beer was surprisingly good! I would have gotten myself a case, but I'm also not a very frequent alcohol drinker. 

Now that night in our little food court adventure, we definitely got scammed. The pictures on the menu was very deceiving, I thought we would get decent sized ingredients with our noodles. GUESS WHAT? So I got myself some spicy noodles with pork intestines... and I immediately got some complaints.

 

Pork blood is not very expensive, yet they gave me very thin slices (in the photo, they were CUBES). The intestines were also chopped thinly... but in their menu, it looks like they were giving me THICC intestines ಥ_ಥ The broth and the noodles were fine but I was so mad that I got ripped off that I'm giving it a negative scoring.

After dessert, we decided to go for good dessert. This little dessert restaurant is a little overpriced, but I did enjoy what I ordered o((*^▽^*))o I was massively craving for black sesame, so I ordered the black sesame soup x almond soup with tang yuan. Tang yuans are basically soup mochis and they're usually served during Chinese New Year. My friend...ordered a tapioca I think...? I can't remember because I remember seeing it and noped it hard for being THAT overpriced. 

 Anyway, that's all for now! Sending good vibes over your way and until next blog post,

Greetings Ocarina, I hope all of you are doing well. I am currently typing this blog post while I'm doing movie roulettes (MSQr) because these cutscenes are taking 84 years. My brain cannot handle multi-tasking very well, so I can't really watch stuff on Netflix/YouTube while I go through roulettes. 

Aside from doing movie roulettes, I went back to Front Lines because I had an urge to go PK people. A little tempted to use the broom emote on people that I knocked out for lols, but that is kind of toxic, so I'll just giggle to myself behind the screen LMFAO (ㅎᴗㅎ )

It actually feels satisfying when you get a good PVP run, 10 knockouts and 40 assisting kills. Hell yeah. I'm sure the PVP pros are like "whatever, I can do better".

Since my DNC was close to leveling, I was hoping for a quick trial roulette. Susano is definitely not quick, and from my experience, there's a 50% chance of a wipe. I saw my party setup... and everyone here are complete STRANGERS... I do feel a little left out.

On a random evening, one of Mar's friends asked if there's anyone around to help her practice P2S. A bunch of us were free and we went ahead to go tackle the Hippo horse. We also spotted Rumpy and Kurn being matchy matchy in their sailor attire, so cute! ┐(´ー｀)┌ Although, it was hard to tell them apart LOL

Random ninja screenshots of me and my SGE during raid hehe. Yeh, I probably do abuse my gpose when we take bio break during raid, but I can't help it (*σᴗσ)

Rumpy has a new helm, now he looks like a snazzy alien gremlin. 

I went to Limsa to do some shopping and then something caught my attention. I noticed this popoto had a crew of bobo popotoes following her???

She started placing them into position one by one... 

For like a few seconds, I thought they were playing some cute music... but then I groaned ........... CMON. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ OUT OF ANY MUSIC YOU CAN PLAY, YOU CHOOSE LINKIN PARK!?

but it did...attract a crowd........

That's all for now, I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!!

Happy Friday everyone! Tonight is a random life blog post because it seems like my readers like to go through my food stash! Don't read the blog while you're starving though, may not be a good idea, so geeeet ready!! 

I'll start off with my IRL Elpis flowers from Aliexpress because it was $10 for 10 flowers. Also, I'm obsessed with florals (I don't think that is a secret?) and seeing these online while I was shopping, MIGHT AS WELL BUY IT! Look how pretty they are ✧✧ (≧▽≦) ✧✧

Sas and I got brunch from a nearby cafe and I was very surprised that the food was decent. Google maps said it was 4/5 stars, but personally, I think it deserves a 4.2 or 4.3 stars (๑˘︶˘๑) I haven't had eggs benedict in sooooo long, so that's what I ordered. I have to say, the price was cheap and the quantity was huge for me. Also, my waitress was very sweet, so I had a really good time at the cafe. 

A new Korean restaurant in our neighborhood recently opened. We saw that it had decent ratings, so we went ahead and tried it out. I did feel the menu was a little lacking, but I was able to find something interesting to try.  o(TヘTo) Sadly, my experience with this place was pretty negative.

I ordered a kimchi based soup and it was mainly beef intestines; however, this soup was utterly disappointing. Despite my lack of knowledge on traditional Korean dishes, I've had other soups with beef intestines and it was done well. First of all, the soup was pretty thick and murky, so the soup wasn't really drinkable. On top of that, I got mild food poisoning. I'm not sure if the restaurant prepped their own kimchi or they bought their kimchi somewhere else (because Vancouver had to recall a kimchi brand). 

Their only good dish was anything related to chicken, but honestly, I can get decent chicken from any Korean restaurants in my neighborhood. I think I found a new favourite in town and I will share photos some time later!!

Last month, Sas and I went to go visit one of Sas' cousins. She recently moved out and she was hosting a housewarming party. By party, it was just family, and there were 5 of us (Sas, me, his two cousins, and Sas' brother). So we started off the night with a board game... ᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )ᕗ that was hilariously problematic (okay don't go and cancel me).

It's a game about owning the most alpacacs, so yeah, that's totally up my alley. Though... the goal is to conquer lands...to set up farms...and that includes owning... workers. The workers had Mayan/Aztec designs... and so, you get the idea.

Sas' couzzie also showed me her new guinea piggies and they were so cute!! Of course I had to take photos of her because she was very sweet.

HEHEHE. Cilantro piggie (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Her sister was busy munching on cilantros happily omg SO CUTE!!!! 

On a random weekend, Sas and I went to another neighborhood because we wanted to get some special katsus. Except... the restaurant was renovating and they didn't even say that on their website hmph. So we went to another restaurant that serves Japanese and Korean dishes. I ordered a Yuzu Chashu Linguine Soup and the description says:

Linguine, slow cooked chashu sloes in yuzu "dashi" broth.

NOTING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DESCRIPTION, because guess the fuck what!? THERE WAS 1% HINT OF YUZU. If they weren't advertising it with yuzu, I think the noodles were not bad. The broth was a little bland, but it was definitely a good bowl of noodles for a rainy and cold Vancouver night. 

But where the fuck is the yuzu ＼＼\\٩(๑`^´๑)۶//／／? So I'm giving this meal a 0/10. 

And yet again, Sas ordered something really good and matches the description on the menu. It was a Japanese omelette and the eggs was super soft. I should've ordered an omelette instead of a fake yuzu dish bleh.

I will end this blog post on a good note though. I did find a very cute diner near my area! Not only was the food cheap, but I actually thought the diner food was pretty decent. Yes, I love looking for diners because some of them still got a nice retro look. 

That's all for now, so until next blog post,

x. Detective of a Foggy Town

Hallo everyone, how is everyone doing? Does anyone have plans on the weekend? This weekend, I'm planning to make Kiriya dinner, so hopefully it turns out well * nervously sweating * If I remember and if the food turned out looking edible, I'll share them with you all °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° LOL

Update on Beemo: Thank you for those that were checking in with me about Beem Beem!! The pain killers basically changed my doggo and he's thriving. Although he should still be resting, he thinks he made a full recovery and is ready to play again. What a dingus.

I finally finished Great Ace Attorney 1, and now, I'm moving onto the second and final game! I really enjoyed the story writing here and I really liked all the cases!! I don't know how Capcom does it, but they managed to make me feel very invested in almost all the characters. 

The only thing that I found annoying is that there are times where I'm probably thinking one-step ahead or that they're very nitpicky in which evidence to use first (╯°□°）╯This does happen a lot in all Ace Attorney games, so I guess there's no real solutions to fixing this, I guess. 

Down below are some random screenshots from Great Ace Attorney 1. There isn't any spoilers really, but feel free to stop reading just to be safe.

I love how they included "Phoenix Wright" when I was examining things. I miss Phoenix!

I think Barok's animations are so over the top that it never gets old. Whenever he argues back, he would chuck his bottle in the crowd or throw his chalice into the lamp fire. He would often apologizes to the judge for throwing his wine/bottles and then disses Ryunosuke in the same sentence LOL

Him putting his leg up was so funny, like I don't even know how that works and how that is comfortable for him???

He sometimes got some edgy lines though, but it matches his outfit. It's like he's ready to fight some vampires. 

HAHAHAHAH THIS IS MY FAVOURITE POSE FOR HIM. He got a boo boo because I debunked his theory. 

The ending credits was actually really sweet (ಥ﹏ಥ) It was also neat to see the character models, some of them are surprisingly tall. For some reason, Herlock Sholmes is 6'0"... but he definitely seems taller than that. The prosecutor, Barok, is 6'4"... somehow Herlock looks slightly shorter than him. 

Anyway, off I go to start on Great Ace Attorney 2!! Until next blog post,
