hungry for some HK style fried nooldes?

i kept telling my fiance that HK style fried noodles is nothing like 'yaki soba' here in japan.
it's not the matter of being more delicious (...it definitely tastes better than yaki soba...hehe)
he wasn't so convinced
so i bought the noodles when i was in Hong Kong back to Japan
trying to prove my point

i totally forgot what are in the authentic HK style fried noodles
"just believe in your instinct"
my all time motto for cooking

i am not sure if what i made was authentic
but what matters is that
he LOVED the noodles
and my point was proved

now i am in illnois
for the past 5 days
I have been toWhole Foods (just next to my hotel) and Trader Joe's for 4 times already..
An obessission for sure

"Being-easy-on-myself" kind of day

Cleaned my room
Cleaned the fridge
Made a big pot of vegetable soup
Walked to the bank
Happy that my account is "recharged"
Bused to town
Paid n got my ticket for Chicago
Enjoyed a nice comforting cup of grande light syrup whole soy chai tea latte
With my read "into the wild"
Strolled around n walked into the cinema thinking
"if there is a movie starting at this moment, I will watch it"
And as I checked my phone: 17:45
Screening schedule: ...Happy ending...17:45
It's a Sign!
Enjoyed the movie with only 2 other ppl in the theater
A bit of tears, a bit of laughters
Hungry for sushi
Walked into kaiten (rotating)sushi shop
Feeling full and satisfied
Took a nice 75mins walk home
Relaxing in my bath
And currently blogging

I cannot ask for more

more red envelopes please?

after 16 years of not celebrating a REAL chinese new year
i finally got to enjoy it in my last year of being single

chinese new year is much better when you are single
you get all these red/gold envelopes from families and friends
what's in the envelopes?
money!
of course! seeing families and friends are priceless
but who can resist from having some extra pocket money?
