Hyperama is amazing + Ramen & cheese

Yes, as the title states, Hyperama is an amazing place to shop, because everything is wholesale! And wholesale usually means cheaper prices for buying in bulk! I've been asking myself why haven't I been there earlier! (It is my first time there so imagine the jakun-ness) 
*Jakun in colloquial Malaysian terms means to be in awe of experiences and stuff (to my knowledge at least).

I was the trolley passenger.

 
* kirakira *

That was my exact
expression when I saw this.

I didn't buy much though, only several packs of instant noodles and some vacuum-packed braised pork (?) and we collected some cardboard boxes for moving-house later next month. One other thing that defines student life other than cooking, instant noodles and binge watching is moving-house. During my second year, I stayed in halls and being unfamiliar with the way the hall system works here in UK universities, I was very frustrated with having to move my stuff in and out of my room three times: Christmas break, Easter break and Summer break. Honestly, by the second move, I'd learned to not buy on impulse and kept nearly half my stuff in boxes to make packing for Summer easier. Not to mention trying to keep the amount of boxes as few as possible because every time I shift them (and my huge ass suitcases), I'd have to climb up/down three floors (my block is even on elevated ground, so, more stairs) 
So now that I'm living in a house, I don't have to go through all that hell any more. Wahahaha!! *cackling laughter* Though I'm still staying on the top floor (attic) in the house. Why does it seem like I'm fated to stay on the highest floors? :/

Anyway, back to today, once I got home (my limbs are still crying from yesterday's fitboxing session), I immediately began cooking lunch, which was one of the noodles I bought today. Ramen Noodles! Since my housemates left some veggies behind, I'd thought I might as well eat them lest they go bad.


But because it was piping hot (physically and in terms of tastes) I had to eat it from another bowl, hence:


I can't handle really spicy food, and I may have accidentally added the entire packet of spicy seasoning without thinking about it, when I usually only do half or slightly more. Not to mention that all the veggies added more volume to my meal and almost made it overflow out of the bowl :S


I even had to add more cheese when eating it bit by bit (the white dollop which apparently isn't too pleased with being mixed into spicy ramen soup)
Some of you may be thinking, 'are you crazy?! Eating ramen with cheese is simply too weird!' 
in actual fact, it is simply even more delicious to eat with cheese. Plus it tones down the spiciness because of the cream/milk. Everyone should try eating noodles with cheese at least once in their life. I came to know of this while scrolling through facebook and saw a video of a Japanese chef turning simpleton ramen into something classy and edgy after adding cheese on top. My other friend also recommended me to eat as so a few days after that too, but this was the first time I cooked this on my own, so I'm quite satisfied with my meal. ごちそうさまでした!

There are three things I realised during these couple of days. One: Cooking Mama is available on Android! Imagine to my utter delight that this DS game would be playable on my phone! I've wanted a DS at one point just to play Cooking Mama because, hello, you can cook stuff without looking like a total idiot in the kitchen and burning it down?! I kid. I'm not entirely hopeless in the kitchen, more of the opposite actually *coughselfpraisecough*. Anyway, I would suppose the game's language settings are set to the one your phone's UI is in, but it also allows you to choose which languages you want the game to be in. Of course, Japanese is one of them (duh). The game is free, but (so far) recipes are bought by cash, and they ain't cheap. They come in a bundle of  about six or more recipes that you can cook and combine  with. Yes, combine. Now you can be the Michelin Star chef you've always wanted to be (or not). Since this game is relatively new, I don...

An Adventure Awaits!

It's been pretty hectic over the past few days, and now that I finally have some time to breathe , let me hand you some updates. Last Friday was my last day at work and boy did the girlies prepare a wholesome feast! Also I had a chance to try this yummeh thing: Beautiful cheese. Nanda Chicken, 11, Jalan Solaris 2, Solaris Mont Kiara, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur Just a note, if you like spicy stuff, this is your place. I was dying with level 1 spice. So proceed with caution and don't think you won't shit fire, cuz you might. You can thank me later. Me when I see cheese on my food.  Two things make me an incredibly happy person like in the picture above: 1) Korean food 2) karaoke. There's this Korean place called  in PV128 at Wangsa Maju that serves unlimited supply  of Korean food for the price of either RM25, or RM30. Most of its patrons go for the more expensive option since it appears to be more worth of it...

帰りたい

Have you ever felt this intense urge in your heart, this longing in your soul to go somewhere --  to return to a place you don't physically call home? It's been more than a month since I went to Japan. Suffice to say, I felt what I mentioned above at Haneda airport while counting down the minutes to my departure back to England. New and old friends patiently waited with me as I queued up to checked-in, ate with me my last Japanese dinner bought at the convenience store, and took an abundance of digital memories. These things made it all the more difficult to let go and leave. I put on a smile, wide enough that even my own consciousness is fooled, laughed loudly, assuring myself and the others that I will be back the following year -- the same promise I made the previous year. But life is unexpected and plans are ephemeral. The inital aim of this post was to reflect on my time in Japan (which was no less exciting as the previous time), but I guess it ended up sounding a litt...
