31 Jul

So its been decided to do a new blog posting about food at least once a week. So this is the first posting is going to be about the one, the only…. THE AMAZING JAPANESE CREPE!

  • 1/3 cups whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 teaspoon salt

Mix first 6 ingredients in blender just until smooth. Cover batter and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day.

Spray 7-inch-diameter nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray and heat over medium heat. Pour 2 tablespoons batter into pan and swirl to coat bottom. Cook until edge of crepe is light brown, about 1 minute. Loosen edges gently with spatula. Carefully turn crepe over. Cook until bottom begins to brown in spots, about 30 seconds. Transfer to plate. Cover with paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying pan with oil spray as needed and covering each crepe with paper towel. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)

So if you love things that are kawaii (cute), then you probaly have a pair of these. They are animal pyjamas and they are super cute on everyone.

What is so cute about them is how closely they resemble the anime/manga depiction of them. Not only that, but the Kpop (Korean Pop) group SHINee (pronounced: shiney) love wearing these making them a HUGE hit in asia.

Lip scrub

20 Jul

So recently Ive noticed that my lips are chapped and dry, and my favourite chapstick hasn’t been cutting it. So after looking online I kept coming out with the same answer. Exfoliate your lips with lip scrub! I looked for a good recipe but found many variations. The most popular was the sugar lip scrub. So I tried it myself and this is the recipe that i used. 

 

^picture from google

  • 1.5-2 tbs. sugar
  • 1 tbs. Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) 
  • 1 tbs. Honey

Make your lip exfoliater by adding all three ingredients into a small bowl.

Mix together well.

Store in a air tight container

Note: i made mine to a thick gritty paste so you may have add more sugar

 

 

POCKY!

20 Jul

So I recently saw these at a market and thought that it would be great to feature on the blog, so here it is! ^^ Its a super cute idea that I personally think is a great marketing gimmick. Cause come on, who doesn’t love Pocky! Not only that  but they also had it in chocolate and vanilla too.

For those who don’t know what pocky is, it is a japanese snack made out of a thin cracker that is coated with the flavour you choose. It comes in many flavours like chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, yogurt and Ive even seen a green tea.
