Smoked Prosciutto


I didn't know prosciutto had a "smoked" version... turns out it does and it tastes REALLY good... it is just like normal prosciutto but drier and the taste is much more intense <3


 the "dryness" and texture reminds me of the Chinese Jinhua ham. It is prosciutto but in a better form :)

Thai seaweed snack big roll


I saw this all over Thailand when I visited so I got very excited when I saw this at my local grocery store <3. It has a savoury and sweet taste and it is super crispy!... I think I found my favourite seaweed snack <3

Pork Bone Soup

Pork Bone Soup
We decided to be adventurous and bought some pork bones from a Chinese bbq shop to make soup.

 



It turned out great! And it also made me appreciate the Tonkotsu (豚骨)ramen soup bases even more :)

Garlic Fingers

 


These were surprisingly good :)... I ended up cutting it like a pizza rather then as bread sticks... still tasted good :)

I've FINALLY found them!!! These Cinnamon Danish Rolls live up to their popularity and hype!

how it looks on the inside

all the icing sugar/cream cheese melted after I heated it in the oven


I highly recommend them!! These are really REALLY good <3... they are big... but I managed to finish one in one sitting <3... they are addictive... so... be careful.

Japanese lilac tree

smallest/youngest lilac I've seen


These trees smell so good <3 (BTW... I took these a few weeks ago... the flowers have already fallen/withered... and they look like normal trees now)

normal/average size



close up... the lilacs are so tiny
