Blast from the past

/8 Comments/in , , /by

Saw i_pup tweeted about finding an old print-out of my old fan art, and I went to did a quick dig around for some old files and found a few… kinda nostalgic ^^;

Some of the artwork were actually auctioned off when I went to my 1st and 2nd anime expo in LA :) Above is an watercolour/gouache piece, it’s probably one of my personal favourite :) her pose was likely referred from a photograph, and dress etc referred from the original artworks at the time. I’m not sure if I still have a large original scan of it tho ^^;

Dine Out Vancouver 2011

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Went to try C restaurant with husband earlier this week :3

We really enjoyed the dish below: Seared Larry Albright Trout served with crushed organic fingerling potatoes, caramelized lemon sauce, almond rapini.

It was served warm on a rather hot plate, perfectly done (not over cooked), not fishy at all, the green stalk of vegetable was a little bitter but the potato and nuts complimented the fish very well.

Takoyaki Maker

I had been itching to get a Takoyaki maker for a while, and the funny thing was, I placed an order for one online, only to find that it’s a “mini takoyaki” maker when it arrived!

(FAIL OTL)

What is Takoyaki? Ask Wikipedia XD Before I moved to Canada, Singapore sells Takoyaki at some of the Malls too. So yummy ^^;
