| LOOK AT THAT ELECTRONIC, AUTOMATIC BEAUTY |
I, of course, got the rice/water ratio completely wrong the first time I used it, BUT luckily rice porridge is a Guangdong staple food, so I'm used to it haha.
AW YEAH, HERE WE GO. RICE SO HOT IT COOKS A RAW EGG CRACKED ON TOP OF IT (mixed w/soy sauce for flavor: the breakfast of champions)
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU CAN MAKE??? DUMPLINGS. PERFECTLY STEAMED DUMPLINGS, EVERY TIME.
I'M LIVING LIKE A QUEEN HERE, GUYS.
Actually, all that said, today I decided to try out this little restaurant/cafe in my neighborhood called Cupcake House. It's a western food place, and I was primarily curious about the quality of the cupcakes because most baked goods here are breads and breakfast pastries, not cakes. However, I was completely blown away by what I ordered for the main meal.
It's super simple, just spaghetti with beef, bell papers, onions, olive oil, and pepper. I think the spaghetti itself might be some boutique-y artisan brand or whatever, but really, it's just a straightforward dish like my dad would have whipped up at home.
Like, exactly like my dad would have whipped up at home.
The waiter brought it out, and as soon as the smell hit me I went "oh no," and proceeded to have the most emotional plate of spaghetti I've ever eaten in my life. I love Chinese food, I really, really do, but this was just SO spot-on that it made me homesick. :')
The other feature of this restaurant was the "hip American music" playing overhead. The first song I noticed was the one that played while I was eating the noodles, and heavily featured the line "so beautiful you could cry," and I was like "true."
But after that, I got the Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way," the Bee Gees "Staying Alive," and Beyonce's "Halo." It was...quite the ambiance, haha.

Mmmmm and the last thing for now is a bonus picture of the packaging for Chinese Skittles.
