very fond of the part of SA2 where shadow and eggman do their whole big threat display (moon beam attack) and then throw a tantrum when they realize they still haven’t actually used it as leverage and instead just caused an international panic . and rouge bullies them about their lack of a plan <3

As mentioned in my previous post, I went to the conveyor belt sushi bar with my friend!!! This particular meetup was very special to me as it was the last one I got to do with one of my best friends before I move out of state in a week! But, I know you're just here for food so I'll spare you the details of that! Here's a photo I took of the conveyor belt, featuring a rainbow roll that I think was definitely in my top 3 dishes for this place!

Speaking of, the name of this restaurant is Kura Sushi! You'll probably also see it printed on all the plates in my photos, but I also wanted to make sure you knew what it was actually called! If you're ever interested in going to Kura, I very highly recommend it!! There was only about a 20 or 30 minute wait time, but it was definitely worth it!! Apparently they do collabs all the time where if you eat so many plates of food, they give you little prizes! They were doing a Pikmin collab today, and the entire restaurant was decorated accordingly! It was so cute! They even had specialty dishes like a red crunchy roll for the red pikmin, a blueberry cheesecake for the blue pikmin, and a cheese tamago sushi for the yellow pikmin!!!

My friend and I only had about 20 plates combined, and you get a prize after every 15, I think, so we only got one and it was a pikmin themed popsocket that my friend has! But in any case, back to the actual food posting!

Now I didn't take photos of every plate we got, but I did get a good handful! To start us off, I got a plate of salmon nigiri with umami oil and it was very tasty!! I'm a big fan of salmon, and the oil was a very nice addition!! In the background of that photo you can see that my dear friend got a spicy popcorn shrimp sushi! It was tasty, but I'm not the biggest fan of shrimp if I'm being honest!

We then shared what was in the second picture, though unfortunately I can't remember what that one was called! I'm writing this about 6 hours after we already left the restaurant, so you'll have to forgive me for my bad memory! I even looked at the online menu to see if I could find the name for it and still came up empty handed, but I can tell you that it was still very good!

In the above photo is the rainbow roll I mentioned earlier! The tuna on this was really good, and I'm always a fan of avocado! Normally I'm pretty good at identifying ingredients in the things I eat but there was something SO tasty in these that I couldn't place! It was definitely fish or seafood, but I was too busy enjoying it to really put my finger on it lmao

Though I don't have photos of this one, I also got a squid nigiri! It tasted good but the squid itself was also very tough and chewy which made it just a bit difficulty to enjoy with the rice! It probably would've been better as sashimi, but there's a reason I'm a customer at these restaurants and not the one making the menus!

More dishes I don't have photos for were a VERY yummy tuna nigiri that I honestly wish I had gotten more of, a seared beef with umami oil sushi that my friend really loved (I'm unfortunately not a big meat eater), a yellowtail nigiri one of my other friends suggested I try that I did end up liking, a seared eel with miso cream cheese that just melted in my mouth like butter, and a jumbo hokkai scallop nigiri that I will say was SO good!! You could really taste the ocean in it and I loved it- Though it still wasn't my top favorite! Definitely top 5, though, my God it was delicious.

Pictured above is my number one favorite dish from Kura: an octopus nigiri!!! Despite that it didn't have any other sauces or oils on it besides just the octopus and rice, this dish was- for lack of better words- fucking orgasmic. The octopus wasn't too tough or too soft, and it was SO flavorful!!! And the texture and flavor of the rice complimented it perfectly!! By far this was my favorite of all the dishes we had, and it's not even a contest.

Something again that I don't have a photo for but was also really yummy was the takoyaki my friend and I shared! I had never had takoyaki before and made the mistake of putting the whole thing in my mouth at once and sat there for about a minute both trying to chew it down so I could actually swallow it and wait for it to cooldown in my mouth because it was still hot lol. It wasn't as good as I was expecting to be, but that doesn't mean it was bad in any way! There was also a small bowl of warabimochi that, in all honesty, wasn't quite my cup of tea but again wasn't bad!

And lastly was dessert and drinks! We both split a slice of New York style cheesecake bc let's be honest, it's pretty hard to get NY cheesecake wrong lol. And then we both got a box of Taiyaki ice cream with red bean paste!! If I'm being honest, I truly think the pastry filled me up more than any of the sushi did, but after that I was stuffed!! They had other filling menu items that are made to order like ramen bowls and such, but we didn't get any of those!

For our drinks, my friend just got a coke and I got a raspberry iced tea! Most of what I drink is either tea or water, so I'm kind of picky with my tea but this was one genuinely really nice! It wasn't too sweet and the raspberry taste wasn't too strong- it was actually a nice palette cleanser between dishes for the whole meal! Then at the very end before we left I indulged just a bit and got a shot of plum wine!

Now I'm normally not a wine person; I much prefer cocktails or liquors, but this one was very nice! I normally struggle to actually taste the fruit in most wines, but getting to taste the plum in this one was a pleasant surprise! My friend took one sip and scrunched their face like they had just eaten a lemon- said it tasted like cough medicine- but I quite liked it! It even came with a Japanese plum at the bottom of the little bottle soaked in the wine!

Little side note about the drinks, but all the drinks are delivered to each table with a cute little delivery robot that I grew very attached to pretty much immediately after we sat down! He talked and everything :)

All in all, this was a very good experience!! After I move, I hope I can find a location for this same restaurant near the new apartment!! If not, I'll just have to find a different one and do a review post for that one as well!! Until then, it'll probably be a while until my next post considering the move and all! Not to mention the winter End of Year holidays are coming up so I'll be very busy! I might do a post for the food I get to eat at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner and such, but it may be unlikely!

There's a restaurant in the nearby city that I researched a while ago that I've now got my heart set on going to with one of my best friends! It's a conveyor belt sushi place, and I've never been to one before!

I looked up their menu online and it all looks really good!! I'm most excited to be able to try their takoyaki, taiyaki, and yellowtail sashimi! We'll be going this Sunday, and I'm very excited!! I'll likely reblog this post with the photos and my thoughts!

The last time this friend and I went out together, I suggested we go to this ramen place called Jinya Ramen and it was delicious! I had first discovered them when I took a weekend trip to Houston for Foodieland back in around March or April! Getting to eat the ramen there was by far the best thing I ate there- and that's saying something because there was a LOT of vendors! I do hope to catch another Foodieland event sometime in the next couple of years, but Jinya really stood out to me and I was overjoyed that there was a location relatively nearby to me!

This is what I had when I went with my friend! I don't remember specifically what it was called on the menu other than it was tonkatsu ramen, but it was filled with spring onions, shredded squid, nori paper, and chashu pork! It was absolutely scrumptious and I for sure will be going back for more someday!

I don't have a photo for this one, but the chashu pork buns we had as an appetizer were similarly very good! If any of you have a Jinya Ramen Bar location by you, I highly recommend it!

I'll make sure to update again when I get to go to the sushi place! As I said before, I'm very excited!!

These are from mid-august!! I went on a trip to Michigan to visit my best friend for my birthday, and these were some of the things I got photos of!! You can read more about each thing in the alt text of the photos!

On the contrary, I didn't take any photos of these because I think all of us had a very unsatisfying experience but we met up with my best friend's grandmother and had lunch one of the days I was up there. We went to an Italian restaurant called Rosie's, I think? I don't entirely remember, but it was something like that! For context, I work at an Italian restaurant back at home and the food at work is so so delicious. So naturally I had some high expectations, but this restaurant really fell flat.

We got a sort of flatbread pizza with marinara dipping sauce as an appetizer and that was really good! But as soon as we all got our food, all three of us were pretty disappointed. I had ordered a fettuccine alfredo, and when it got there I kid you not the sauce was gray. Normally I'd be okay with my alfredo being off-white bc when you cook cheese it tends to brown a little. But this was not a brownish alfredo; it was gray. But I try not to judge based on looks, so I took a good few bites and I am not exaggerating when I say that this was the worst Alfredo I think I've EVER had in my entire life.

I thought maybe it was just my meal that was bad, but my friend let me take a bite of his steak and it tasted like the chefs had never heard of seasoning at all... It maybe had pepper on it, but I couldn't even taste any salt on it. I didn't have any of the risotto that his grandmother ordered, but according to her it was similarly bad. We took pretty much all of it to-go (I don't like to waste food even if I don't like it) and we gave it to one of his sisters when we got back.

I didn't get her opinion on any of it, but I believe she did eat most if not all of it, so I'm glad someone was able to enjoy what we couldn't! :)

Not gonna put a whole lot of effort into this intro post bc I want this blog to be more food focused than anything! My name is Trish, I'm 21 years old, and I use she/they pronouns!

I really love food, if that's not already evident! My best friend described me once as being the embodiment of a foodie and that I love food in a way that he doesn't normally see in most other people! I take photos of a lot of my food, and I'm very vocal about my likes and dislikes when I try a new dish or restaurant! I made this blog so I'd have a place to put all my thoughts and photos! :)
