Craving Ramen

Hello!

I'm back with another food post. :-) 

A few days ago, I went to a cafe for lunch because my friend and I were craving ramen. 

This cafe had a lot of hong kong styled dishes and desserts. They have sago, tong sui, tea eggs and a lot more. Also, there is a touch screen computer at every table so you can watch any show you want to while eating, which I thought was really cool!


My friend and I got a drink, and this was a small. A SMALL!! It was so huge that both of us didn't even finish it. I got a passion fruit green tea while my friend got the green apple green tea. Both tasted really good! 


My friend got fried dumplings and this only cost $3.00! It was actually 6 pieces but my friend ate one before I got to take a picture. xD 


My friend who was craving ramen ordered the seafood ramen and I ordered the beef skank ramen. I had no idea what beef skank was and I still have no idea. LOL. I ordered it because it was spicy and I love spicy food! 


It tasted pretty good. The noodles were pretty tasteless and I didn't like how they put so much green onions on top chopped like that. The beef was really good though, and it was only $5.00.


I had a little dessert after that and it was this green tea soft oreo cookie. My friend gave it to me since she knows I am a huge lover of green tea! I am completely obsessed over anything green tea flavored. :) It tasted really good!

The Bakeshop By Woops in Williamsburg, New York

Today, my friend Nicole and I went to Williamsburg to go thrift shopping for clothes. I have no sense of direction so when we got out of the station, we were kind of lost LOL. We saw this bakery, The Bakeshop by Woops, across the street and I recognized it from Elleanor's vlog at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWXxs9Nr8m8 

  

We walked past it and decided to go in since the pastries looked SOOOOOO good!! Also, the interior and exterior was so adorable. 
 

They had a black/white chalkboard stating what they specialized in outside and also a red bench for customers to sit. 
  

They had flowers on our table which I loved! 


I though that their furniture matched so well with the interior. It reminded me of a cute little tea shop. 


They had a huge open window so air could come in and also seats in front of it so customers could sit and just watch people passing by. The funny thing is, the air conditioner was open at the same time. xD

This bakery had a variety of delicious pastries! From macarons to muffins to cookies and to crossiants! Their cookies are humongous and really thick! It looked so delicious. I really wanted that.

  

But I settled for a chocolate croissant. This is probably the best croissant that I have ever tasted in my life. It was so light, fluffy and chewy at the same time! I really want another one... Definitely the best $2.95 that I have ever spent on a pastry!

                                    

I also bought a red velvet macaron, but it tasted like nothing..  I asked Nicole to try it just in case the taste of the chocolate croissant was overpowering the taste of the macaron, and she ended up laughing because she couldn't taste anything either. LOL xD 


I accidentally ate the croissant before taking a picture of it. You can tell how soft and airy it was because it slopes down. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

This is Nicole's cookie! She got the Peanut Butter cookie. You can see how thick it is from inside the bag! 

 

Top view of the cookie just because it was so pretty. :) 


Nicole smiling for the camera. ;) She also has a blog! It's at lostandcraving.blogsot.com 


Hmm, I actually don't know why she was laughing here.. LOL

Writing this post really makes me want to eat another chocolate croissant, it just tasted that good. :(

Cupcakes and Clothes!

Georgetown Cupcake is my favorite cupcake place of ALL time! (Coming from a girl who usually doesn't eat cupcakes) We were walking back to our car in the city so we decided to stop by. I was also craving one so badly so I had to get one.

              
  There is a T.V show based on this cupcake brand called DC Cupcakes. It's currently on Netflix.


Let me tell you, these are my most favorite cupcakes of all time!!! <3 And I'm not a huge fan of cupcakes usually. The frosting just melts in your mouth and it's so airy unlike the frosting you buy in the grocery store.


These are the 5 cupcakes we ordered. They cost $3 each so the total was $16.11, which is pretty expensive but it is soooooo worth it. 
The flavors starting from the top, left to right is: Coconut, Lava Fudge, and Double Milk Chocolate Birthday.
On the bottom from left to right is: Key Lime Cheesecake and Milk Chocolate Birthday. The difference is the Milk Chocolate Birthday has a vanilla cake unlike the Double one that has a chocolate cake. 

**Please excuse the pajama shorts!!! 

                                                  

This shirt is from Zara. It's a light pink color and it says "LA VIE EN ROSE," which I have no idea what it means. LOL I bought it because I was looking for nice tshirts plus it's a bat wing. :) This was also $9.99!
                                     

I'm loving this plain striped black/white long sleeve from the Japanese brand "Uniqlo" It makes me look like I have the broad shoulders that I have always wanted when in reality I actually have round shoulders. This is probably my favorite buy of today even though it's the plainest one. :D This wasn't on sale but it was cheap! Only $14!! 

I'm so knocked out for today because we walked the whole day in the heat, although it was worth it! :3 Hope you all had a wonderful day today! <3

Todays Coordinate, BEST Chocolate Mousse Cake

Hello minna!

This was todays coordinate: 
Top: Forever21
Lace Shorts: Chord
Purse: Coach


  

  I wore really fancy clothes today since I'm going out to eat dinner with my family and friends. I thought that this was a pretty kawaii coordinate. :3 The lace shorts are actually pretty loose on the bottom so it actually looks like a skirt on.


 
The lace detailing on my top. It has an elegant feel to it since there are pearls on top of the lace collar.
 
 
Since there was lace on my top, I decided to pair it with some lace high-waisted shorts.  They blend well together. 

               A close up picture on the purse I was carrying today. This is from Coach and it's actually a camera bag, but it can also be used to store my personal belongings. It's not too big and not too small so I usually use this bag when I go out shopping.


And this is just me wearing the outfit. :) Sorry about my phone quality, the lighting was off too. :( 

 

This is the BEST Chocolate Mousse cake ever. I can eat this whole cake by myself but sadly my slow metabolism wouldn't keep up. :( It's sweet but bitter at the same time because of the dark chocolate. However, it's not too bitter! :D
 
 
Here's a closeup of the cake. The presentation of it is absolutely exquisite! My mouth waters just by looking at it. The best part about it is, this delicious cake only costs $20!! WHAT?! 

Probably gonna eat the left overs for breakfast tomorrow. *kekeke*
Livin' the fat life.

REVIEW: Etude House Wonderpore Freshner

Hey guys! So I'm back today with a review on Etude House's Wonderpore Freshner. I've heard MANY MANY good reviews on this product on Youtube so I decided to try it out myself. 

 I ordered this product off of Amazon for about $30 overall, which is pretty decent since it is the 500ml bottle, which is the largest size. When I first opened the box it came in, the packaging was so adorable! ^^ I was stunned by how kawaii it was.



Now, on to the review. So when I first opened it, the smell just got to me. It smelled like alcohol which I don't really like in a skin care product. It wasn't that bad though since I could handle it. I've heard many Youtubers say that this worked wonders for their skin and pores, which it did for me. I saw many pores on my cheeks and near my nose area started to minimize. 

  However, although it did minimize my pores, since I have very sensitive skin, it broke me out. I started getting acne on my forehead, so I had to stop using it. 

Overall, I would recommend this product to others who do not have sensitive skin. I only used this about 5 times before I had to stop. I would give this product a 3/5 rating.
