What is an egg cheese roll (Okonomiyaki)

Image
I couldn't help but be intrigued by this street food - not just the name, but the look of it as well. It's a dish that features a fried egg sitting atop a cheesy, cabbage-filled base with a myriad of savory ingredients thrown in. It's almost like a Western-style burger, but with multiple layers of elements on the outside. The preparation process itself is a work of art, and watching it come together is quite a treat.

The Wizarding World franchise fans have been eagerly waiting (me included) for the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, and the wait is almost over. The third installment of the Fantastic Beasts film series is set to hit the theaters on July 15, 2022. Directed by David Yates, the film boasts a star-studded ensemble cast, including Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Callum Turner, Jessica Williams, Katherine Waterston, and Mads Mikkelsen. The Secrets of Dumbledore takes place several years after the events of the previous film, Crimes of Grindelwald. In the movie, Albus Dumbledore assigns Newt Scamander and his allies with a vital mission that takes them into Gellert Grindelwald's stronghold. With the storyline already offering fans plenty of excitement, the anticipation for the movie’s release is at an all-time high. If you're a die-hard fan of the Wizarding World, you won't want to miss Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dum...

19 Years Old Ramen Chef in Tokyo

Image
I'm continuing down the rabbit hole of Japanese cooking videos on Youtube, and today, I stumbled upon a video of a ramen shop in Tokyo. What makes this ramen place different is that the head chef is only 19-years-old! She left school to help pay off her grandparents' debts and began training to become a ramen chef, which is no small feat. The ramen looks absolutely mouthwatering, but the personal story behind the chef adds to the charm and inspiration of this culinary gem. It's heartwarming to see someone dedicated to making her dreams a reality and doing whatever it takes to make it happen. I'm really rooting for this ramen shop's success, and if you're ever in Tokyo, I highly recommend adding it to your list of foodie destinations. You won't just be enjoying a delicious bowl of ramen; you'll also be supporting an inspiring young chef who has overcome obstacles to pursue her passion.  

Udon shop in Osaka

Watching people cook has a certain peacefulness to it. The sound of ingredients being marinated, fried, steamed, or chopped into perfection creates a comforting, almost meditative white noise. One of the things I love to watch on YouTube are small shops and food stalls, and how they prepare their dishes. It's quite eye-opening, and I'm always amazed at how much effort goes into making some of the simplest foods. However, these videos come with a downside- cravings! Late-night cravings for ramen, sushi, and other dishes are almost inevitable after watching these videos. But despite that, there's something magical about seeing cooking skills in action. Whether it's a grandma rolling dumplings or a street vendor grilling meat skewers, there's a sense of genuine joy and passion that can't be replicated. So, if you're ever in need of some foodie inspiration or just some calming background noise, why not give these videos a watch? Just be prepared for those late...

Foggy Day

Throughout the day, a thick blanket of fog has enveloped everything outside, reducing visibility and creating a mysterious ambiance. It reminds me of an episode from The Crown where London was blanketed in fog for days, and the show perfectly captured the eerie, almost haunting atmosphere that foggy conditions can create. As a result, the episode has stayed with me as one of the most memorable from the series. If you find yourself having to venture outside today, please be careful and take extra precautions.
