Teppan Yaki!!!

Teppan means iron grill.

Yaki means stir-fry

Teppan yaki is japanese style cooking, chef cooks on the iron grill which is

infront of customer! chef gave us food right away as soon as they make.

I forgot to capture, but they also have a fun performance while cooking!

(something like playing with knives)

the meat is very hot, and juicy because we can it right after it cooked!

Waaasabi!


I think wasabi is well-known nowadays.
it gives a spicy scent when we eat a sashimi or sushi.
I recommend use wasabi with soysauce(this is usual!).

Inside BBQ!

Difference between American BBQ and Korean BBQ is outside and inside.

There is a special BBQ grill on table if you go Korean restaurent.

the name of Korean restaurents which have BBQ grill is Yasu, and Kaya.

Kaya is closer one near campus, its around porter Sq.

spicy snack!

those white things are rice cake!

those are very chewy! its also good to eat without any cooking.

we call it 'Dduck po ki', it is one of popular korean snack.

Try it!

Garlic Shirimp!

I went to the Spain restaurent.

I didnt know about any Spain food, so my friend ordered everything.

This picture one was the best one, which is garlic shirimp.

Those red things are all garlic, and they put the olive oil.

so shirimp has taste of garlic and olive oil, it was fantastic!

Changsho!


Changsho is chinese restaurent across the street from campus.

This is one of plate that I ate on 'Sunday lunch buffet'.

It is $20, but it worth!

they have whole scallop, huge fried shirimp, dimsums, etc.

I recommend this place!

Best food ever.


I've always wondered how ice cream was made, as it is my favorite food in the whole entire world. My freezer at home is always stocked with multiple gallons of ice cream. Some people in my family even eat ice cream for meals. Going a day without eating any is quite hard for me, and I don't like to do that if I can possibly avoid it. Since it is my favorite, I figured I'd end my blog posts learning how to make it.
This video on how to make ice cream was taken from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3-OAwhIvU0

Popcorn



Because every movie night needs it.







Gummy worms!


Not only are the gummy worms, but they're sour gummy worms!! These can be found at almost any grocery store. These ones were specifically found at Shaw's, which is very convenient because the one in Porter Square is 24 hours, and sometimes you need sour gummy worms at 1am. Shaw's is too expensive, especially since Wal-mart is way cheaper, but since there is no Wal-mart in Cambridge and Shaw's is open all night, it is the perfect place to get late night snacks.

Drinks!

The taste of Raspberry Lemonade is far too good to go unnoticed, even if this is a "food" blog. I had it for the first time at Uno's a few weeks ago, and it is pretty much my favorite drink now. It was so delicious that I had to immediately go out and buy some after, and I hate spending money on food and drinks since I can just use meal swipes for them at school. However, there was no way I was going to survive without Raspberry Lemonade now. Some brands that sell it are: Crystal Light, Wyler's Light, and Vita Splash. The kind at the restaurant was probably the best, however, as it was slushy, and the kind at the store is more liquidy.

So. Much. Pizza.

The amount of pizza I have eaten in the past 24 hours is kind of ridiculous. First, as seen in the above picture, a pizza from Harvard House of Pizza (which is AMAZING, reasonably priced, and located very close to campus) was ordered around 9pm. But then in the middle of the night, I was hanging out with a different group of people, and they wanted pizza too. So then two more pizzas were ordered at 4am. To some, this might be a little bit weird or unnecessary, but to us, it was completely normal.

Breakfast of (college kid) champs?

Since I can't be bothered to do pretty much anything in the morning... or afternoon for that matter... poptarts have helped me survive my year at school. Attempting to stomach White Hall eggs at 9am is just not my idea of a good day. Rushing to make any other food at 9am is just too stressful. For me, bringing a little snack to class with me, such as these wonderfully sprinkled blueberry poptarts, is a much less stressful and much more tasty way to start the day. Yeah, it gets rather old once I have this for breakfast every day of the week, but maybe next year I'll find some other options. For now, I'll continue to enjoy my sprinkley snack!

Um... Lesley food?

Thank you, Lesley University, for making my parents pay you thousands of dollars each year for me to eat this. Not that I actually ate this, but I thought I was going to until I saw it. "Charlie's", as the Student Center Cafe is called is a lot better than White Dining Hall, but that's not really saying much, especially when it comes to cheeseburgers. I'm usually a very hungry person, but I feel as though I lose my appetite a lot here. If there's one thing the school should improve on, it is probably the food. Kid's gotta eat some time! Even photoshop could not make this picture look any more appealing.

Gingerbread Houses!


Gingerbread houses are very fun looking. However, it looks a lot better than it tastes and looks a lot more fun than it actually is to make it. We thought it was going to be a fun thing to do with friends, but since I, as well as other people, am very bad at making things, it just turned out to be stressful and obnoxious. But, at least it looks festive in the end?! Perhaps this is a better activity for kids under 19 years old, there's just some things that aren't as exciting when you grow up.

Oreos

So this is basically me, if I were a small little girl. Well, actually implant a picture of a fully grown man doing this and thats me (you will never have the pleasure of seeing that). Oreos are great with milk, everyone knows that, but they are also great with peanut butter. Of all the mass produced cookies, Oreos wins. Hands down. Disagree? Too bad. I bet if you did a poll 90% would prefer Oreos over dumb chips ahoy!

MONSTER


Forget Redbull. Ok don't forget Redbull, that is a pretty good one too.....but seriously MONSTER is amazing too. They come in a variety of flavors, however the best are Assault, the juice, or the original you see in this picture. While Powerful stuff, they are actually not as bad for you as one might think. Calories 100 and 27 sugars...about the same as any other soda.

Vitamin Water XXX (king of the vitamin waters)

Alright so I know what your thinking at this point. Why is this kid writing about beverages when the blog is about food and the truth is this blog helped me to discover a very important quality about myself. I am not as much of a food lover as I thought, in fact I am more of a DRINK lover. To take it to the next level, I will simply say, THIS IS THE BEST DRINK IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. If you have been hesitant to try flavored waters, don't be. This is it. Try it because words cannot express how good this drink makes you feel.

Ginger Ale

It doesn't really matter what brand of ginger ale it is, just ginger ale in general has an amazing effect on a upset stomach. At first I thought it was just because of the bubbles, since Sprite also feels great. Upon doing some research I found out that it is actually the ginger (I then remembered that I already knew this). The day after a long night of drinking or before getting on a plane flight there is no better way to appease your stomach then a nice cold glass of ginger ale. I think my preference though is Canada Dry, I don't know why though. I guess it's just the cool logo. Cheers!

Kinder Happy Hippo

Alright so I am embarrassed to be writing about these creations from Kinder, however besides there childish name, they are very impressive. My roommate forced me to fork over the 3 dollars for the 4 hippos in this pack, and I was very skeptical about how they would taste. Dip one of these bad boys in a glass of milk, and your expression will quickly change just like mine did. Even if you are not satisfied (which I am sure you would be) they make a great treat for kids as well.

Starbucks caramel frappuccino

The best drink at Starbucks hands down. If you like the flavor of caramel and you are looking for a cold drink that is going to kickstart your energy levels, look no further. This drink is crazy in so many different ways. First of all, it is one of the cheaper drinks because it is a frappuccino and on top of that they top it off with whipped cream! AHHHHH!!!! I want one now!
