Another Drink!

Last night, he had dinner with his co-worker but it seems like he didn't enjoy that much, so I went to have a glass of wine with him at Izakaya (Japanese style pub) to refresh! It was after 0am, so we couldn't stay long but the Izakaya was cool!!! A small glass of wine and beer is 100yen ($1) on Thursdays! Actually, we wanted to go there for a long time. I forgot the name of the Izakaya, so I will report about it again when we could take time to go there. The weather was nice at night, so we enjoyed walking back home :)

It has been a week, so I can't wait to eat out with my boyfriend tonight!

Have a good day and good silver week ;)

Kao Healthy Cooking Oil "Econa" Referred to as Carcinogens?!

This news was shocking...

Kao Corp. has temporarily suspended sales of its "Econa" brand products (total of 59 products), including its diacylglycerol (DAG) cooking oil, salad dressings, and mayonnaise because the fatty acid glycidyl esters in them is said to be carcinogenic.

The company said in their statement that the suspension will continue "until the amounts of fatty acid glycidyl esters contained in Econa and related products can be lowered to levels found in common cooking oils."

Their annual sales of "Econa" brand products exceed 20 billion yen (200 million dollars)! Imagine how many people consumed their products X( Actually, I did used their products while they organized contests. But luckily, their products are relatively expensive, so I just used them temporarily at those times. But scary, you know!!!

Healthy food is not always healthy! I should better use long-selling products...

Take care!!!

Today's Lunch: Soba @ Ryoka

My boyfriend just called me to go out for lunch since he came close to my workplace while making the rounds ;)

I am thinking of having soba for lunch.

Will see...



Yes! We had soba for lunch!
We've been to my favorite soba restaurant called Ryoka.
Mine is Tororo Seiro Soba, which you dip the soba in cold dashi with grated yam (Image above). My boyfriend had Kamo Seiro Soba, which you dip the soba in hot duck broth (Image below).
I love the way they cut soba. It is thin and flat. Cooked al dente! Mmm... I had a good time!

What did you have for lunch?!
