July 10^th , Calvin, Elaine and I went out for dinner and decided to have Ramen. Believe it or not, we went at 9pm and realized we don’t have cash which the restaurant only accept cash. So, all of us dig our wallet and give what we got and we have enough for the late dinner. Yay!!!!! It made me feel like high school again.

In Japan, ramen borders on religion. This noodle soup has inspired everything from the universally loved instant noodles to the Japanese cult film Tampopo, an entertaining story about a truck driver who helps a young widow revive her struggling ramen house.

While the instant variety, introduced to the US in 1970, has hijacked the name, authentic ramen is an epicurean delight. Ramen are based on Chinese wheat noodle – lamian is the word for stretched noodles, while lo-mein translates as boiled noodles. This rich broth falls into four basic catagories: shio (clear chicken); tonkatsu (cloudy pork); shoyu (seasoned with soy sauce); and miso (flavored with fermented soybean paste).

Not only does ramen vary from region to region in Japan, it can change from district to district within a city. For example, the legendary ramen from the Hataka ward of Fukuoka is a tonkatsu-style soup garnished with sliced pork, picked ginger, scallions, and sesame seeds.

Whether it’s from a packet, a street vendor, or a bustling noodle joint, most dining etiquette goes out the window when eating ramen. After all, noodle soup can only truly be enjoyed with a cacophonous medley of sipping and slurping.

July 9^th, Yatin decided to make curry for us. What a privilege for him to cook for us and a taste fresh from India. And I on the other hand prepare something else for dinner. Thought we can have more choice and I like to make sure everyone have enough food. What else can I do beside my Malaysian specialties? And I can let my friends to have the taste of it too since some of them never try it before.

The curry was kinda different for me especially with the tomato paste. I never seen curry using tomato paste which I love spice on my curry. Something new for me and eager to learn more about curries. What so funny? I’m not even good at making my own version on curries. LOL!

Now, let’s check out the photos and give me some feedback.

For those who don’t know, Cassie is my little puppy.

July 6^th, Elaine and I decided to bring our dog for a pedicure. Calvin and I have a hard time to trim her nails as she moves a lot. So, paying someone to does it make it much easier for us. Same goes to Elaine as her hubby is not around and she can’t do it herself coz her dog is way stronger than her.

Seriously speaking, I’m excited and anxious to know what’s Cassie gonna react. And when I bought her in, she was calm as many dogs are sharing as they walked in the grooming room. Guess, my little girl is brave. And she allowed the lady to do her nails quietly and started to wonder why we have a hard time doing it for her.

Calvin asked me the other day why don’t I just send her for the whole package. I realized I’m too attached on my dog where I’m not comfortable for not seeing my dog on someone hands. At least, I got to see the lady doing her nails while I’m waiting for her to be done. But behind the wall without me seeing it; I’m not ready. She’s my baby and I know I have to learn to let go. It’s hard for now………..

On July 5^th which fall on Sunday, Calvin, Elaine and I went out or dinner. I can’t really remember when the last time I have Mexican food. I really like the fajitas and guacamoles. Not really a big fan for the wraps but I’m trying to have wrap more this days.

Let’s the photos do the talking for this. I have no idea what to write about this beside photos to share. I’m getting bad in writing.
