Giant scallop

I found this in a nearby supermarket… I can’t resist buying it, although I have no idea how I should go about cooking it. The shell is the size of my palm spread out.

Steamed it and made a simple sauce for it. Surprisingly good!

Well, I never saw this being sold in the supermarket again …

花语Part 2

春天,继续盛开。

人们迫不及待,迎接阳光,接触温度。

季节果真能影响我们的心情。

在这里,一大片蔚蓝的天空,并不稀有。

天空自然成为衬托花朵的背景,理所当然,不用怀疑。

踩着脚踏车回家时,风迎面,有自由的感觉。

风,本来就是自由的嘛。

真傻。

春天到了,但课室里都是埋头苦读的学生。

加油吧,这个春天。

omiyage from friends

In Japan, omiyage, or souvenirs, is big business, every tourist spot you go to, no matter how remote, I bet there is at least a stall or small shop selling the EXCLUSIVE souvenir in that region. The most common souvenir? Food.

Excessive packaging aside, I must admit that most souvenirs that I have received from friends are simply delicious! It is customary for Japanese to purchase omiyage after going on a work or personal trip, but not compulsory. For me, it is certainly a pleasure to receive the omiyage from friends. At the end of the day, it is the thought that counts. :)

Below are some omiyage from friends.

From Tokyo (thanks to E san), I present you the goma tamago, meaning sesame egg. delicious!

Individually wrapped

looks like a real egg

Even looks like it really has a shelf! full of sesame goodness!

Ok, this has to be the most aromatic, addictive, and DELICIOUS peanuts snack I have even had.

From Taiwan (Thanks to L san), we can’t stop eating them! finished them within 24 hours. one box.

Very crunchy,  yet light with 麦芽糖 coating. Heavenly…

花语Part 1

春天某一个周末的午后,拿了相机,散步去。

其实也没有走很远,就离家很近的地方,就被各种叫不出名字的花吸引。

拍了很多照片。

有些是居家种植的,有些是野生的。

都很美。

花,真的是很神奇的生物,是吧?

我可以一直看花,就觉得很高兴。

花,只要专心做她/他自己,就能将欢乐带给他人。

不晓得,花,是否要付出很大的努力才能专心做自己?

专心做自己,将欢乐带给他人,好像很容易,又好像很难。
