Krispy Adventures: Ktown Night Market.

Hello, homo sapiens! 

I know i've been gone for a week D: Lots of work at school. T.T

But I'm back, and its gonna be a foodie post!


Last weekend, I went to the famous LA KTOWN Night Market! 

(WHOOAAA I saw the SeoulSausage Food Truck! They won Food Truck wars on food channel~)


There were performers, singers, rappers, and beatboxers. 
(including KRNFX who i wanted to see but coulDN'T HELP)




I passed the Jubilee Project stand, and immediately I recognized them and received a cute post it note. ^^
They are a YouTube channel that promotes doing good by making short films. I've gone on a few Jubilee marathons and I definitely recommend their videos. 


The feel was great, and despite all the people there was still a lot of room to walk around and explore without getting uncomfortably close to anyone. :D


It was a really busy event, and a lot of people attended. I can see why, and it was a nice atmosphere to be in. The weather was pretty nice, and there were so many people and tents. 

I ended up getting in line for the food truck, Belly Bombz. And LEMME TELL YOU. It was freaking delicious. 
As you can see on the logo, they serve Korean Inspired Wings & Sliders, all of which are original recipes. (and delicious.)


THE LINE WAS UNBELIEVABLY LONG. 
LIKE, UNBELIEVABLE.



AFTER ALMOST TWO HOURS OF WAITING, 
we received our food. 
and god bleSS for that. 


My cousin and I were going to get our wait's worth, so we ordered a little bit of everything on the menu. and wow i regret nothing REALLY.
                                                         Sliders, Wings, and fries Oh my!


Boneless Wings, and Seasoned Fries. My day was AMAZING. 


I hope you guys enjoy this foodporn. I can't even talk about it because I'm remembering how good it was and it's making me kind of emotional. 


LOOK AT THE SEASONING. 
THE SEASONINGGGG


YOU PROBABLY WISH YOU HAD THIS RIGHT NOW.
I do to be honest.


Juicy, delicious, and just great. WORTH THE WAIT. 


(*gargling noises*) 


frrrriiieeeees.

Well, after the night market and that delicious adventure, I headed to dinner. But I though i'd show you what I purchased at the Yesstyle stand. Yesstyle is a clothing and fashion business. They sell clothes from the fashion capitals of Asia: Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea. They were selling KPOP tshirts and I had to get in on the fun. 

So I purchased the below, becauSE G DRAGON. 


And thus ended my ktown adventure. 
Went out for Beef bone soup and Naengmyeon for dinner, and it was a full day. 



I'm sorry if this post wasn't thorough or long enough, but i've been really busy and posting is pretty time-consuming. In fact i am writing this as quick as I can during my breaks between class. 

FORGIVE ME. 
I am probably going to be MIA for some parts of the week. 


THANKS FOR READING GUYS OK GOTTA GO BYE.

Krispy Adventures: Dim Sum Guide for Dummies

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it ^^

I took the day and went out with the fam to a dim sum place in my local area.
(We are a canto-raised family, this is how we celebrate holidays.)

I'm not the biggest fan of dim sum, but there are a few things for people to order if they're going to dim sum for the first time, or want to order something simple if they haven't had the extreme stuff before.

So the first thing I would order is Lo-Mai-Gai. (Sticky rice wrapped with lotus leaves.) 


This is a simple delicious thing to order, and i don't know if it'll be in everyone's tastes.

It's basically sticky rice ball with different ingredients inside of it such as mushrooms, preserved meats, and egg yolk. 
It's all bundled up into a little package and put into a roll of lotus leaves. Kind of like a parcel.
It is cooked for a while, and it makes the flavors all mix together.
It has a chicken-brothy flavor, and is generally a pretty friendly thing to order if you're new at this.


The next thing I like to eat is this: Deep Fried Shrimp Roll w/ Seaweed. 

It's exactly what it sounds like. It's a cooked shrimp wrapped with seaweed and deep friend. It has sesame seeds on top, and is generally a very friendly thing to try.


The next dim sum is probably the most well know.
Xiao Long Bao. (Steamed Juicy Pork Dumplings.)

If you've ever been anywhere like Din Tai Fung, then you've tried this delicious little dumpling.
It's a little dumpling filled with pork and soup, and it all comes together to make quite a delicious package.

I've had this ever since I was little, and I think anyone would enjoy it.
(Does Contain meat products.) 
Be careful! The moment you bite into it, hot soup will come pouring out, and if you aren't careful you could get a tongue burn. And those SUCK.)


Next is for the more adventurous eaters.
*drumrolls*

THE INFAMOUS CHICKEN FEET.
you've all heard stories, and one of the worst is the stereotype of us eating cats and chicken feet.
We don't eat cats, but we sure do eat feet.
Honestly, it's not bad. I think one you get past the whole, "im eating chicken feet" thing, it tastes pretty darn good.
Lots of bones and things, but still not too bad.
Don't listen to those stories.
Chicken feet are worth a try.


On to sweeter foods!

I've always prefered the sweeter side of Dim Sum, and these are some of my favorites.


This has been a favorite of mine for most of my life. It is Dao Sa Bao. (Steamed Preserved Salty Egg Yolk Bun.)
DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE "SALTY."
It is not salty AT ALL, and it is actually quite sweet and delicious. The name sounds horrific, but the actual bun is so tasty.
It's not too sweet, and not too savory.
It's a perfect balance of both.
It is the bun with the red dot on the top.
My favorite. Totally worth a try!


Next is another favorite, Dan Tat! (Egg Tart.)
Again, misleading name. Not tart, its rather a pastry. It's not too sweet, and it's simple delicious.
The egg taste is barely there, and the edges are flaky and light and delicious.

Not heavy and Not Tart.
It's very delicious and I have it every time.

So there you go! I hope you guys enjoy your first times going to dimsum, and I hope my little guide helped out a little.
Generally, dim sum isn't all that bad and trying new things won't be too much of a push.
Just be open-minded and try other cultures! 
If you have any questions, give them to me down below :) 

                     • Thanks Babes•

(Preview: New post coming soon: KTOWN NIGHT MARKET! Belly Bombz Food Truck, Yesstyle, and One of A Kind! Look forward to it!)

Have a Happy Easter, everybody! ^^*

My Starbucks Order \( o u o )/

It is getting really hot here in SoCal, and i thought i'd go to the world's biggest franchise and buy a nice cool drink.

Here's my Starbucks Order:


A cool and sweet Caramel Frappucino, Double-Blended.

I also like the Hazelnut Frap.
I am actually /whispers/ lactose intolerant, so I can't enjoy these drinks too often.
So, i sometimes get a Coffee Frap with Soymilk, which resembles the taste of a vanilla granola bar.
Quite delicious, if you ask me.
Alright guys, let me know down below what your order of Starbucks is ^^*

♡ Thanks, babes. ♡

New Beats.

New Headphones, New Start.

Got the New Studios HD this time.
When I remix or try to put something together, having these is a real life-saver.

Dr. Dre is a real genius.


With my Taylor and my new beats, i'm ready for anything.

♫ stay happy ♫

Strange Random Spaces?

Goodmorning, homo sapiens! 
Well, by morning I mean it is currently 3 am. 
But we can never get too technical, can we?

This is a quick post, because I have to ask.
Why am I getting strange little spaces randomly placed all over my blog posts? 
Especially the ones with a lot of pictures. 
In the beginning of my haul post, there is a huge gaping hole in between the title and the first sentence.
It is driving me absolutely off the wall. 

Been googling to see if anyone else had the problem, and it didn't seem as if anyone had a problem with random huge spaces placed randomly around their blog posts.
Not too sure what to do, so as a forewarning, if you happen to see them, please just ignore them and scroll past. I will try my hardest to get it fixed, but for now I don't know when it would happen. 

Alright thanks guys.
I think I had better sleep now D:

♥ Bye my babies ♥

Trippin' on Tuna.

What's up, beautiful people?

Yes, I am here with yet ANOTHER post, and it's just a quick stop by to show the kill of the day.

dinner.




I am extremely tuna-crazed. 
Tuna is all I eat when I go to sushi places, which I may add is very often. 
Something about the beautiful redness and taste of tuna is just so appealing.
(I'm probably a bear just saying.)



The fan just had their own non-tuna food. /scoffs/

Lots of choices, lots of ways to enjoy japanese cuisine. 
lots of TUNA. 

I had Tuna TarTar, Poke Tuna, and an order or regular tuna sushi.
that's it.
that's all I had. 



( Poke Tuna )


I'm pretty sure I ate basically a whole tuna fish. 

Avocados aren't really my thing, so i just tried to eat it all together to taste as little of the avocado as possible. 


( Tuna TarTar )


Despite my love for tuna, i often also become quite paranoid that the fish has gone bad. I'm afraid of sick, you see. Always had a irrational fear of vomit. 
(enough about vomit Mitsuki.)

Just a quick foodie post. Waiters always look at me weird when I take pictures of my food. 
They just don't understand. 


On a side note, I added a social media button for my weheartit! ^^* 
It's just a bunch of kris and dan so you may not want to see my strange interests. 

I hope you enjoyed this little bit of ... tuna. 
yeah. 


♥ Bye guys ♥

Attraction to Black Shoes...?

I think I have an addiction to dark shoes.
I am just drawn to them.

They just go with everything! 
I've always got a pair of black converse for any occasion.


Colors? PFT.

Black is the new black, right?
