Mum went for her routine trip to Chong Pang to do marketing, eat breakfast and drink coffee. She came home with half a Soya Sauce Chicken and char grilled Cha Siu (叉烧).  For me, she also packed Economy Rice from one of the stall at Chong Pang Food Centre. I love all the three dishes she chose for me from the fried chicken drumstick to the stewed shiitake mushrooms and rendang mutton.

Process of making several serving's worth of fried rice. I may have glazed the bacon to make it look and taste like char siu this time...

I just got finished rereading your best friend privilege series for hoshina and can I just say how in love I am with your use of foods as endearing nickname😭💕💕

if my s/o doesn't call me his lil chestnut or apricot like hoshina, I don't want them!!!

also your vice captain confession has me swooning with how in love and gentle he is with reader!! (I especially love his little habit of playing with a loc of our hair, does he do that to keep himself grounded👀)

much love and kisses to your writing and how you portray hoshina💕🥰

you reread my writing??? 😭😭 hey what if i sob??? that's so freaking nice thank you so much for telling me!!! i miss best friend soshiro very very much except everything i've been writing for him is spicy and i would like to... at least write the bridge piece between the confession and the smut lmao. let them have their first kiss at LEAST asdfghjkl

you deserve to be called someone's lil blueberry!!! their sweet chewy mochi!!! i am manifesting this for you!! and if not i hope my soshiro can help fill in the gaps haha

oooh vice captain confession soshiro looooves playing with your hair. he's so freakin smitten he just wants to touch you somehow and wrap you up in his jacket forever and ever to keep you safe (though the jacket thing was more bc of possessiveness hehe)

SO MUCH LOVE BACK to you anon!!! thank you for literally making my day brighter!! 💕

i recently moved and now my barber is clear on the other side of my city, like 45 min away, so you would think i would just find a closer one, but you would be wrong because his shop is near the city's quasi-Chinatown area, which means every six weeks I have an excuse to go hunter-gatherer mode and stock up on good food at the Asian market and bring home takeout from the places that are too far away to justify going to

Today’s brunch is from the roast stall in Chong Pang. Let’s us starts off with the succulent Fatty Cha Siu (叉烧) which had slightly better fat marbling to lean meat ratio. It is tender and sweet with a smokey charred profile.

Mum got me the Roasted Duck & Chicken Rice from the same stall. Doesn’t the glossy duck drumstick look so yummy delicious? I helped myself to some of the fatty cha siu to go with the flavoured rice.

this picture of daan tat has been doing numbers the past few days, but she also has started being a mean ol bully to Gelatinous Cube in just as much time, so I won't be informing her of her fame lest it go to her head even more

brb quitting everything to become a chicken photographer

i think its really funny that even though most other foods taste like weird liquidy medicine (since im sick as hell), tomatoes still consistently taste the same

overdue Episode 11 post

basically the chenswire part of my stupidly long twitter thread covering ep 11 with more delusional thoughts and I ended up TLing their last scene in CN I guess (scroll to bottom) i wish i had the energy to make 1morbillion gifs but i do not so.. Excerpts from my 200 image screenshot folder it is

So the ep starts off with a super pensive Swire which was very cute when will my wife return from the war energy

And then she breaks out into a super un-ladylike run whaddahell!!!! this sequence was sooo well drawn wtf. handsome

(Something here about how people were joking this part is summer chen because they call chummer 水陈 'water chen')

I like how relaxed the atmosphere was like this definitely isn't the first time something like this has happened, well I mean after all they are Professional Co-workers who do not fight 24/7 (they get into an argument immediately after)

When they break eye contact to turn towards Hoshiguma they basically don't meet each other's gazes again as they take turns to glare at each other its insane... Also Swire saying she should take over and Chen needs treatment... Chen you understand what that means right...

Another detail I love is how at the start they already show her battered jacket/clothes for us gamers to point at the screen and then later who those who don't know/didn't notice we have a whole close up of chen reacting to it...man.jpg And swire leaving right away once she knows chen is fine (and one of her good points. lol. lmao) you guys are sure so quick

Link to CN version of the PUUK GAI LUNG in Paci Plaza I love how she's like 'Chen you stay right there' at the end like she's going to idk fly over ASAP to whack her (as opposed to just 'hey, chen!')

Here's a clip of the last scene with CN dub because not only do we get 'ah chen' it just hits so different...

Hi~ Still there, Miss Ah Chen? Ah? What d'you mean by ah, huh? Aren't you a Dai Siu Ze too? Enough of that, don't you have something to tell me? What happened at Paci Plaza… I'll make sure to sort it all out and file for damages later.

Had a feeling they would go with the JP loc's 'aren't you an ojou too' since you know, anime, but keeping the 'ah chen' and that 阿什么阿 response the unparalleled casualness

You… Remember the Cha Chaan Teng at Sheung Wan? Trying to change the subject? The one near the LGD HQ, right? I used to stop by there on my patrols sometimes. Let me treat you to something there next time. Hmm~ If we go there… I want a steak tomato and egg burger! Wait, no! Like hell I'd want you to treat me to a meal!

the longer pause after 'you...' like she was considering something else before she decided to go with her 茶餐厅 MENTION!!!!! gives this a whole different flavour... chen outright offering the meal instead of swire guessing??? THE WARM SMILE CLOSE UP i feel like im intruding on something

Then send your bill to Chief Wei. I'm hanging up. Wait, don't hang up just yet! I heard you ran straight out of Rhodes Island in the end. What are you planning? Weren't you looking for their help? Ugh, stay down! Take a nap over there! You sure sound busy. Guess I should hang up. Tch… I'm not done speaking with you yet. Was leaving the little bunny (and the others) over there weighing on your mind? Well, whatever. (We'll just do this) Just let me help you clean up the mess over here.

It just sounds so much more casual in CN than the JP dub (which is excellent ofc) >let me do it for you instead of 'ill do it' (head in hands)

the opposite lighting and angle and chen looking away vs swire looking straight #KINO

Don't talk like you understand me very well, Miss S. Enough!!! How many times have I told you not to call me that!! Got it, got it.

You don't seem to get it, so I'll be nice today and explain it to you. Life is extremely precious. You're always risking your life chasing what's right in front of you. Stop doing that. Got that? Your advice… I'll take it.

That exasperated 'Enough!!!' i (turns into a plane and flies away) and the last line... it as 'thanks for the advice' which technically isn't wrong but you know the nuance of uh. kind of, almost, somewhat, accepting a... confession... (of her concern ofc) also CN chen lets swire finish speaking instead of interrupting which hehe... like i said..the flavour hits different. also that subtle movement as chen like eases in more and more between those lines aaaghhhhhhhhhh

their earlier argument was so explosive and quick, but now their banter is so tender and slow like bruh. what. even the act of chen putting down her sword to sit down in a comfortable position (loved that she sat like that One leg sitters rise up!!!) was so ??? the normally yolo speedrunner chen being so leisurely like damn. ok. ok. From 'you think you can order me around' to basically agreeing to an order (Londinium cannon vine boom) I thought Chen being this warm was more or less a delusion that I inferred through in game as subtext (since in game her expression then is usually like her default rbf face...) and seeing it here as 'text' in the show is like 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 holy shit can't believe i got FED after four years incidentally i've been obsessed with a certain CN writer's fics lately because the way they write chen like a sad wet dog while showing warmth is crazyyy maybe i will blog about it next time because i was legit taking notes lmao
