I’ve been eating like a(n unhealthy) pregnant woman lately. It’s been Asian food week, and I haven’t stopped since we went to Umi Sushi Boat the night before my grandparents went back to China.

Anywho, never ever going to Todai again. At $26/person, the food isn’t even that great and the variety is very limited. Also, all that buffet-style getting up and getting your own food thing makes for minimal conversation, since my family talks little as it is while eating in general. Anyway, not only was the food better, the service better, the servers actually Japanese, but the bill came up to be less too! And that’s counting the tip. And we just ordered a ton of random food and shared.

Sashimi is by far my favorite, though the dragon sushi rolls were pretty good as well. Oddly, the western-style salad appetizer thing served in the cute little red bowl intrigued me the most. Heh.

Out of the 3 not completely blurry pictures taken by my brother that night, I narrowed it down to these two.

The outing also spurred me to actually cook. And I never cook. I’m the type person whom if you don’t make it for me, I’d probably never actually sit down and eat a real meal type of people. However, on Monday, I was sitting in Econ class and all I could think of were frappacinnos and teriyaki. I looked up recipe for the teriyaki in photo and even took a detour to Lucky’s to get whip cream for the frapp.

I was so productive that not only did I make the aforementioned foods, I also finished my math homework while the meat was marinating!

I wasn't able to get the slushy, but it turned out to be very similar to the bottled kind.

Anyway, I used this slightly modified recipe for the frapp – especially since I was going for the other type. Apparently I cannot properly use our blender.

• 3/4 cup of pre-made instant coffee (use 2 tsp to make, then chill)
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 2 cups ice
• whip cream as desired

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high. Top with more whip cream if needed.

Completely unhealthy, but deee-licious.

Unfortunately, my teriyaki wasn’t pretty enough for me to want to photograph. And I was hungry.

(Since then, I’ve found myself eating too much popcorn chicken from Quickly’s – a Taiwanese snow-bubble drink shop.) Yep, there are an insane number of Asian restaurants and shops in my area.
