    September 2020 Round-Up: Asian food and fluffy breads galore!

    I’ve been pretty picky with my buys lately, ordering (and receiving) significantly less things these past few weeks than I have the previous months. With that, I was actually expecting my round-up to whittle down to less than 10 items. Shockingly, that’s not the case! But when I look through the things that have ended up in this list, I realize it’s not ridiculous at all. I ate a lot of good things in September.

    August 2020 Round-Up: Lots of coffee and food with international flavors

    The months are passing by slowly, but somehow it also feels a bit jarring that it’s already September. I constantly feel like I’m stuck inside a reality that feels uneventful, because the days all look the same– home and office– from Mondays to Sundays. But at the same time, I can’t quite rightly say that nothing is happening, because this situation we live and deal with everyday is itself the main event. My subconscious response to missing “normal life” has manifested itself through impulse buys and purchases of food-related items that I feel might add some color and contrast to my days. Some of them do, some of them don’t.

    #SupportLocal Round-Up & Favorites for July 2020

    July has felt like the longest month this year for me. I think it’s because it was the most exhausting month I’ve had to go through so far. I was swamped with so much work and I couldn’t seem to figure out how to balance things, so my solution was to attempt to take it easy on the last week of July. Interestingly, I think the high stress level also caused me to engage in a bit more online shopping of food. I am REALLY quite surprised by how long this month’s list is. 16 items! I had to force a cut off, so I already have some favorites for…

    Favorites from April 2020: 11 Things I’ve Been Enjoying During Lockdown

    It comes as a surprise to me that I managed to put together this list of favorites despite this whole Enhanced Community Quarantine situation. There are a total of 10 things in this list, plus 1 recipe that I simply MUST include because it’s THAT good. (Also I made and posted it on April, which is awesome!) And even though 3 out of my favorite things from this month come from one source, there’s a perfectly sensible explanation for it… Apart from the fact that they deserve to be on this list to begin with.

    Here’s another gift idea: Zenpop Japan’s Ramen Subscription Box

    Although this is my second Zenpop Japan box, I was still thrilled. I guess I’m one of those people who like the element of surprise subscription boxes bring. You never know what you will discover inside, and for the most part it’s something totally new. Zenpop Japan sent me this Northern Japan Ramen Box a month ago. It obviously took me a while to get through it. But apart from reviewing the box, I decided to write about it now because I feel like it would make a really great gift for Japanophiles, or just lovers of subscription boxes in general.
