Anime Food!: Ramen & Curry Rice

-
Woooo hooooooooooo, my first 'official' Anime food attempt~!!!!image

I'm super obsessed with anime food because it looks so damn delicious in every anime I watch and it makes me really, really hungry-!  So I decided to re-create these dishes.

I've tried doing this in the past and many times, failing at making it look just as delicious...  But!  I'm stepping up my game now so I hope you guys enjoy this series of blogs I'm starting.  Maybe it will get you all inspired to re-create your own anime food!

Enjoy~!

My first dish that I decided to make is the famous ramen!  I'm sure you all have drooled over this dish in an anime at some point.  I swear, ramen must show up in every other anime.


Okay, I know this isn't an 'exact' replica but I'll try harder in the future!  I was rushing on this one and it literally took me only 5 minutes to whip up! ( > ~ <)

I really don't like ham (sorry to all you hammie lovers) so I decided to substitute it with kamaboko (fish cake) instead.


This is a super easy dish to create.

Ingredients:

- 1/2 boiled egg
- Ichiban traditional ramen
- Kamaboko
- Green onions

Boil the noodles as you would with any ramen packet and plop in the rest of the ingredients at the end.
Thanks to mom for the awesome ramen bowl!!! image Btw, a good ramen bowl makes ALL the difference!


Onto the next dish!  This one is also common and it is the tasty curry rice!


This one took a bit longer to create and I know it's far from perfection.  Let me tell you why.

I'd like to point out that I made a lame mistake that I haven't realized for years!  The curry dish that I always thought was curry in anime was probably hayashi rice!!!!!  image  Yeah, I was super shocked.  All this time, I've been desperately trying to recreate this dish by using curry.  fml...  ORZ

So to all you anime food lovers who think that this more liquidy stew thing is curry, *bzzzzzt!* *bzzzzzzzt!!  Stop right there because that's probably hayashi rice!  There's actually a different type of boxed cube seasoning for it called hayashi instead of curry.

What's the difference you ask?  Well, curry is much, much, MUCH thicker in consistency as you can see by the picture while the hayashi mix is way more liquidy.


Ingredients:

- Golden Curry or hayashi rice boxed mix
- Water
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Onion
- Peas
- Celery
- Vegetable oil
- Beef (sliced into cubes)
- Pepper

Simply follow the instructions on the box and you're all set to go.

Even though I'm disappointed in the consistency of the curry, I'm still proud of a little fact with the potatoes.  I carefully shaped them into the spherical shapes you see in the picture (above) to more closely resemble its anime counterpart.  image It's what I do for love.  xD

Anyway, it could be curry rice or it could be hayashi rice.  YOU decide.  I suppose it would depend on if you want a thicker stew kind of consistency or a more liquidy consistency as so commonly portrayed in anime.

Hope you all enjoyed this new series of blog posts!  I'll definitely be creating more Anime Food posts in the future.  It's really fun and I feel it also shows how anime can inspire a person to get creative-! ( ^ o ^)

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

-
Image
Hello again!  My apologies for taking so long to make another 'Anime Food' post.  Enjoy! During my childhood days of watching Pokemon, I would often see Brock cooking this white stew thing.  It would look so yummy but I had no idea what it was..  And even though my entire family and extended family was Japanese, none of them ever made something like this.  (T__T)  The closest thing I got was corn chowder. Only recently did I discover that it's called cream stew and luckily, it's quite the easy recipe. ^^ I remember the very first time I made this.  I used a cream stew mix pack from the store (the one that has the blocks that you melt in the pot).  That turned out pretty bad so I highly recommend people make this one from scratch.  It's really does taste so much better this way.  I'm lazy so instead of having the pretty diced pieces of carrot, I threw in some baby carrots.  XD Close up ;3 I found this recipe on Little Japan Mama's rec

Why does Lightning look so different in FFXIII Lightning Returns? [SPOILERS-!]

I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair

I dyed my hurr!: Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color, Milk Tea Brown

Don't make fun of my fingers, I already know they're short and fat! lol My hair is really stubborn.  No matter what hair dye I use to lighten it, the results are almost always the same.  Even when my hair is already lightened, it somehow still manages to retain that same coppery brown color... In this case, I seemed to have gotten the 'generic' result for "Dark color hair..." I dyed my virgin Asian black/dark brown hair and here are the results:   Window lighting. (Somehow this always alters the color)  Indirect daylight lighting  Bathroom lighting Box color to actual hair comparison in low light.  Seems like it was right after all.  xP On an everyday basis, my hair color looks like a cross between window lighting and indirect daylight lighting. I was honestly freaked out at first because my hair initially looked like it was slightly bleached orange.  But after a few days, it darkened down to what is is now.  I
