Here are the pictorial proofs:
I made Ohagi! It's a type of wagashi (Japanese sweets and yes, I am obsessed with all things jap) and is made up of glutinous rice and azuki. I used the chopped peanuts from those frozen tang yuan packs.
The ingredients looked quite gross, that I admit. And I must have developed arm muscles from all the pounding and mashing.
Ta-da. Ruby attempted to make a Hello Kitty one.
Keeping to the Jap flavour ~ I went to a jap restaurant which specialises in Miyagi cuisine like Gyuutan and Zundamochi. We first had Nantsuttei ramen for dinner so the intention was to have some drinks. Maybe like a teeny bit of sake. But thanks to a special offer, we got pretty tipsy, on a Tuesday night. (The next day at work was hell.)
Miki and Ah Pek were in charge of choosing the drink. I had zero experience with shochu.
And this was what we ordered. IKR. O-O
Like damn ginormous. When we saw it, we figured we'll probably finish it in 3 - 4 trips, maybe we'll come back for my birthday or my birthday eve or my belated birthday but YA RIGHT.
I am Big Sho(w) chu.
That's how big it is.
Zundamochi!
Anyway, guess how much we drank?
HALF.
WE DRANK HALF OF IT.
No wonder we were a goner.
Before I was white.
After - I am red. I represent the Singapore flag.
Ah Pek likes his shochu.
Moving to more jap stuff...
My order from NoQ arrived! 1Q84 and Sanshiro. Yup, I completed 1Q84 but I really love it so I had to get it in this edition. (^O^)v
And I finally got myself the Emoda inspired Meow sweater.
Looking back, everything was jap related. Ha ha ha. Anyway, gong xi fa cai!
