I’m one of those coffee addicts and no doubt spend more money on caffeinated drinks than I really should. However, I don’t know where I’ve been all this time, I was introduced to this greentea frappacino at one of the ubiquitous Starbucks today! It is so refreshing on a summer day. Nice and cooling but not too heavy or filling. Definitely one of the awesomest things I’ve come across in a while thanks to a friend. 🙂 I hope the summer won’t end, so I can continue getting this! 😀
In other news, my first time making Omu-rice today! I was first reminded of the recipe from a youtube clip. God I love youtube cooking inspirations. It is a tomato sauce fried rice wrapped inside a layer of egg (as you can see). It’s a very appetizing and fun recipe because you get to decorate/draw with ketchup! lol Unfortunately, I burned the egg a little… lack of skills. But no worries! Will get better with practice 🙂 I also need to perfect the appearance a little too… 😛
Those of you by the philly area, I highly recommend going to Mad Mex located in University City. I love all things fried….. aaand comfort food. Not to mention, they brought back the half-off deal on food after 11pm!!!!!! 😀 How. Glorious. Is. That?! That equals $5 dollar burrito, $4 dollar wings and $3 dollar taquitos! I feasted so many times during the college years on a budget at this place. It was great returning to it last night getting some satisfying down-to-earth food. P.S. they got GREAT waffle fries!
While i’m at it, I just want to mention.. I can’t get enough of my spring rolls! absolutely love taro! It’s so delicious! I encourage people try to make their own cause it’s fun, easy, and soooo delectably delightful! I forgot to mention this in the last post. My mom made her own dipping sauce. We used vinegar as base, minced garlic, and mix with a hint of fish sauce. It compliments the taro spring roll so well 🙂
