Haha. Okay it seems everybody likes to look at photos (and photos only) so here's more of them to keep you guys entertained. I realised I don't take many photos outside, of buildings and such, maybe because my camera's XD card keeps acting up or I don't want to look like a stupid tourist. Bah. Anyway, here's what I've been cooking and eating the past few days. Thanks to Judy who introduced me to Japanese curry. Haha.
See the red tape-ish thing across the glass? That's the 'Thrift Mall' area. It spans a few shops selling those vintagey quirky knick knacks, clothes, shoes. I bet imported from England and other countries like that. Very flea market-ish feel. It's one floor down from the 100 yen shop so we took a look around, some of the stuff aren't that expensive.
My first home cooked dinner. You guessed it, instant noodles from the 100 yen shop (3 for 100 yen! What a steal. Hahaha). Ham. vegetables and mushroom I got from this cheapo supermarket that the seniors recommended us to go to (called 'Taiga'). They keep playing the same cheesy jingle instore that goes "Suki Suki! Onaka Suki suki!" blah blah blah and then it goes "Char Siew Tonkatsu Hambagu!". Yes its catchy after a while but moments later and thereafter it gets very annoying especially when you're a poor starving student trying to do mental sums on which product on the shelf is cheaper.
Yesterday's dinner of leftover pasta and... ... what's this??
A steaming pot of miso soup! With mushrooms and chicken meat! And dinner is served, next to 'Two Moons', the red Indian on the postcard. I bought it at a shop called Titicaca that looks strangely touristy because of the prints and batik-ish stuff they sell there.
What the kitchen area looks like now. It's rather small and cramped especially after I've stocked up on cooking utensils. There's only one fire so meals tend to get cold easily if your meal consists of two parts you need to cook separately.
My lunch today :) I bought the Japanese curry in a packet which I poured over my dish of fried onions, chicken, carrot, potato and mushroom, all heated up of course. And what better way to wash it all down than with a cuppa milk. Not quite ready to cook rice myself so I had bread instead.

hoi chuaps! your curry looks nice! but you put garlic??? haha. the pasta looks like what we cooked in your house, just that ours was colourful. did you get the pasta sauce and pasta from the 100yen shop? haha. HOPE YOUR TEST WENT WELL :)
helllllooooo boon!
I'm starting to think that I need to eat more carbo because I'm starting to feel like I get hungry too easily! But don't know how the rice will turn out since I don't have a rice cooker.. intending to cook in the lousy 100 yen pot. Yea, the test went alright, I've learnt everything they tested before. Of course whether I remembered or got the answers correct is another thing.
hahaha i hope the rice won't stick to your 100yen pot if not you'll have a hard time scrubbing it! did you make the pasta sauce yourself? helllllo chuaps!
