Wow Ivy new theme!!! I’m loving every single bit of it, especially the background transparency and the colour combination. I’ve never knew dark blue and pink can be such a perfect fix! And I’m going to love the new comment styling to bits!

Welcome back Ivy the webdesigner!

One of my friends who came back from being stationed in Japan had come with knowledge of making okonomiyaki. I did not think it was too bad, but then again, I am more a straight out sushi gal. I have to travel about an hour an a half to a sushi place called Wasabi, in downtown St. Louis. *sighs*

Congrats on obtaining your degree. I am sure you are extremely happy about that.

I never remember any Japanese food i eat, i only know if it’s not Sushi than it must be ramen

However, i do like all of them!

Well done for the exam ivy, congrats! Would love to see you visiting our blog again.

The look is appetizing, but after I read some of the ingredients, I got kind of turned off. I’m not a fan of really salty foods either. Sometimes yes, but it depends on what it is.

Congrats on your degree!!

I tried the Korean version of omurice. It was pretty good! Though having ketchup with rice was something that needed getting a little used to. Not sure how the Japanese one tastes like though. I will go try it when I find it. Thanks for recommendation!

That Korean place you’re talking about is likely Oja or Hana. I used to live on rez on Charles Street, so I know that area like that back of my hand. Hahahaha. I’ve had the Korean pancake at a Korean place at Chinatown called Kachii. It’s soooo good. IMO, it’s better than okonomiyaki.

Good luck with your exams.

Oh, forgot to mention, have you ever had omuraisu? It’s like a thin omelet wrapped around a fried rice mixture, and topped with demi glace sauce. It’s an east-meets-west kind of dish, but also one of the definitely-not-bland Japanese dishes.

OMG I used to live RIGHT THERE! In one of those two buildings on Charles St.!! I didn’t know there was a Japanese restaurant there, although I wasn’t really clued into these sorts of things when I was younger.
But I will DEFINITELY try this pancake thing when I go back to Toronto (after finals).

There’s a (sort of similar) Korean pancake, made of kimchi and an assortment of vegetables that also tastes amazing. Also fried. I’ve had it on that Korean place just south of Yonge and Bloor. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name right now, but I think it’s a pretty common dish so if you go to a restaurant in Korea town, they’d definitely have it. I think it’s called “kimchi pancake.”
