Mission accomplished!
Tumblr media
Yes, today I had a mission: find Wonderful Pretty Cure merchandise and a Sprigatito from Pokémon plush. And what better place to look than Little Tokyo?
I started off looking in Marukai, which is famous for selling shokugan, or candy toys. After two minutes of searching for the candy toy aisle, my eye saw something I had been wanting to buy for a while: the PreCute figurines for Wonderful Pretty Cure! They had all four, but I wound up picking up my two favorite Cures from the season: Cure Wonderful and Cure Lillian. They also had the playset for the dolls and some keychains. In Marukai's sister store, they had a bit more, but I decided to pass on it.
As for Sprigatito, I found her at a little store that mostly sold figurines such as nendoroids. They had plush keychains of various Pokémon characters, the one I was looking for included. And according to the tag, this doll is a Korean import!
After this, I stopped in Kinokuniya, and they had many Hirogaru Sky Pretty Cure-era books, and even some books of the NHK preschool show I like, Inai Inai Baa!, in the toddler section. One of the books they had was one I got for Christmas last year, Wanwan no Kakurenbo.
I then went to go find an anime plush, preferably a nesoberi, by looking in the main marketplace of Little Tokyo. After some failed attempts in several stores, I found a Tokyo Japanese Outlet store that had Hololive Friends With U plushies...including Momosuzu Nene. I was going to buy her to have a smaller Nene, but she was $55, which would've left me with NO MONEY to buy the Joy from Inside Out plush in Disneyland (which, coincidentally, I saw another kid in our hotel lobby with this morning), so I passed.
I did get two snacks from Little Tokyo. The first was a melon pan I bought from Nijiya Market. Melon pan is one of my favorite foods, and this particular one looked pretty! Later, Dad bought me a pizza bun, which tasted really familiar, but I can't remember what food it was like.
After failing to find another plush, I went inside this anime-centric Book-Off, which had Pretty Cure stuff...but it was overpriced, like $40 for Cure Honey's baton from HappinessCharge and $70 for the music box from Fresh. I opted to go to the toy store near where this store was...only to find it closed.
After this, we went to Hollywood Boulevard with my brother. First, we went to the El Capitan Theatre, where we saw a long line for a showing of Moana 2, as well as merchandise for said movie in the gift shop. Then, we ate at Mel's Diner for lunch, where I had some delicious fried chicken. Following this was a trip to the Netflix store, where I saw the mailbox from one of the favorite shows of my sister @ashleypureheart22, Gabby's Dollhouse. After this, we went to the biggest Miniso I had ever been to, but I didn't get anything, as I was saving for Disney. Then we had dessert at the Ghiradeli gift shop at the El Capitan Theater, where we saw many kids coming back from the Moana 2 screening that had just ended.
Now I'm headed back to the area of my hotel, specifically CityWalk, to take a break.

Last song?
I am currently indulging my middle school music taste and listening to a lot of overwork LMAOOO shoutout to my electronic/trance/dubstep phase when I was like 13
Currently reading?
I am currently reading The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice, but also The Terror by Dan Simmons and also From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty.... but the vampire lestat is holding my attention the most currently
Currently watching?
I'm not really watching anything right now. I was watching the interview with the vampire AMC show and it was good, but I've finished season 1 and season 2 isn't on netflix yet lol
Currently craving?
At all times I am craving the soy garlic korean fried chicken from the korean bar food place near my sister's apartment it is the best food on the face of this planet. the other day i had leftovers of it and I was a bit stoned off an edible and I absolutely destroyed like 5 pieces of it without even microwaving it and it was the best experience of my life
Tea or coffee?
I like both equally, I drink both of them black and very bitter but tea is easier to make in a pinch and I'm a very very lazy person, so I drink tea more often. I drink decaf coffee because I'm really sensitive to caffeine and it just puts me in a bad mood lmao
A hobby you would like to try?
I tried skateboarding a while back and sort of fell off of it and I'd really like to get back into it again... I'd also like to get into crochet/knitting... and sewing/tailoring
AU you're working on or thinking about?
I'm currently working on a really long wyllstarion modern AU story loosely inspired by the beginning of fight club (lmao) where the narrator is going to all these support groups he has no business being in --- the premise is that wyll has recently lost his estranged father and his therapist (jaheira lmao) tells him to go to a community grief support group to help with his grieving process. Wyll goes reluctantly and meets Astarion there, who speaks briefly about his late husband, Sebastian. The two of them end up becoming friends and the story progresses from there, but there's one big problem.... Sebastian isn't real, and Astarion's husband is still very much alive. DRAMA ENSUES!!!!!!!!
thank you for tagging me! I tag.. uhhhhh @foxflowering . hi bestie

Do you have specific spots you wanna hit while in NY? I know mentioned general areas like Ktown and getting a bagel but I didn't know if you had specific shops in mind. Where I live there is a town a few hours away and every time we go we have to stop at a specific candy shop (it's locally owned and amazing). I didn't know if you had anything like that
I'm annoyingly going for a work offsite so almost every minute of my time is accounted for, especially since I'm trying to squeeze in seeing lots of friends that are still in the city! I'll make it to a few of the below but here's an overview of my top places:
Food:
Bagels – I'm partial to Murray's on 6th Ave because I lived a few blocks away for a while but Ess-a-Bagel is good too or H&H (a classic)
Maman for pastries, Breads Bakery in Union Square for choc babka and Bourke Street Bakery near Madison Square Park for a sausage roll
The kale Brussel Caesar at Blank Slate when I'm working I'll have it delivered lol it's a guilty pleasure
Gotta have a Mister Softee in the summer
I'm a sucker for a slice of cake from Magnolia Bakery. I'm not a banana person but I know the banana pudding is everyone's fav
Alta on W. 10th is a fav date night spot, amazing tapas/vibe, it's tucked away on a residential street
Turntable Jazz Chicken. Hands down best fried Korean chicken, I will not leave New York without eating this. Get extra daikon radish and the dumplings and thank me later
Sant Ambroeus – just get a coffee/pastry to go and walk in the park!
Stores/shops:
Minamoto Kitchoan – technically food but it's really beautiful Japanese wagashi I always get some to send my dad
The Face Shop in KTown
Bloomingdales – basic but I'm not even sorry. Also it has a 40 Carrots froyo that I lowkey love to stop in and it's close to my office so I'll just pop by after work I'm on the hunt for a new YSL Manhattan bag so I want to see it in person!
Economy Candy in LES is super fun if you haven't been!

How do I describe what I like about Chicago? It all comes to me as a mix of scenes, watching the storefronts switch from Guatemalan to Korean to Yemeni walking east to west along Lawrence, seeing the flows of crowds of college students leaving and entering the bars on Lincoln Ave, waiting for the last Metra train of the night in a 24-hour diner right next to the tracks--and these are hardly idiosyncratic experiences in any real city (author's note: I'm not sure if either SF, DC, or Seattle are real cities)
Some of it must be a matter of familiarity -- the streets of cities west of the Rockies are all too damn wide, while all the streets in cities on the East Coast are either too damn tiny or are near-freeways. Some of it comes from the comfort of the building heights -- there's not much for suburban single family housing on the north side, especially as you get near the lake; even the more suburban areas are more likely to be 3-4 story walk-ups. Even though I live a good few miles north of city center, I'm still in a mid-rise apartment building and can see several such buildings out my window.
Some of it is certainly food -- I've not had a proper gyro (where the edges of the meat are crisp and crackly and the inside is thick and wet and spiced) outside of here and it's certainly much easier to find a restaurant that'll serve a half-pound of decent meat here than in Boston, Seattle or SF (also, Chicago's meat foods, like the Polish sausage or Italian beef knock any local meat-between-bread meal out of the park, go suck on your cheesesteaks, Philly). And there feels like there's more options for different cuisines here than anywhere not-NYC -- I really like being able to have a Cuban place and a Serbian place and a Kazakh place and a Nepalese place within a few miles! This isn't even for a lack of good American food -- the burgers here are a significant notch above the Bay, the fried chicken and barbecue are the best you'll get in a Northern city, and I even found a hole-in-the-wall breakfast place that opens at 7am and serves a five egg omelette with bacon and cheese, side of potatoes and rye for under $15!
Some of it has to do with the ease of walking around, people like to make Chicago out to be a dangerous city, and it is dangerous, in the way cities are and suburbs are not, but things feel far more demarcated than they ever were in Boston or the East Bay. I know the local hotspots from just reading reddit (Hermosa, Cragin, Lawndale, largely, for a north-sider, southside is more complicated but I can round it off to "anywhere >1mi from the river and not Hyde Park" and be done with it). In Boston, none of it made any goddamn sense, even just walking up Neponset/Dorchester Ave from Quincy -- things were certainly fine in North Quincy, got sus as I crossed the river, got worse and worse as I went north until I hit the Indochinese district just a bit south of UMass -- and then somehow things get worse again as I approach Andrew, but north of Andrew is completely fine?!! What gives? At least on Chicago I know that outside of the Milwaukee Ave sitch, things generally get worse as you go west and south. Simple as. East Bay, nobody seemed to talk about it, or assumed that if there was ever a problem, the problem was with YOU. So I got some weird signals west of MLK (except for the area near Tamaleria Azteca and Al-Maida, those places are goated), couldn't pick up any new info, there wasn't anything around I was interested in seeing, so I just gave up and learned the areas on Telegraph as well as I could.
A large part of it has to do with the night-scene--there's food-places open after 10pm here, that aren't even bars! What a wild world, coming from Boston and the Bay! More than that, they're often even open after midnight in the hotter areas--what bounty being able to choose if I want pizza, tacos, or a Polish around 1am on a night-walk!
I don't know why I like it here, but I do.

I made vegetarian Japanese curry last week ; I couldn’t find the ready-made roux at the grocery stores near me so I made it from scratch. I also couldn’t find the go-to spice blend for the curry roux so I made my own spice blend (referencing the aforementioned ingredient list) from the whole spices I had on hand. The veggies I cooked in the curry itself were : carrot, kabocha squash (skin on), sweet potato, goguma (Korean sweet potato), one grated honeycrisp apple, brinjal. Then I stir fried oyster + shiitake mushrooms on the side and broccoli + red capsicum for colour. instead of chicken or pork katsu I used extra firm tofu - I was quite pleased with how thin the breading was, how there wasn’t a thick gummy layer of flour or a gap btwn and how it didn’t fall off - I think it might have been bc I dredged it in rice flour instead of AP ? It was very crispy and light ! I also ran store-bought breadcrumbs in my food processor with 旺旺仙贝, seaweed and shichimi togarashi bc I wanted some spice ….bc Japanese curry is on the sweet side

Where to Find the Best Asian Food Near Me: A Flavorful Journey
When you're craving a vibrant and diverse dining experience, Asian cuisine is often the answer. But where can you find the best Asian food near me? Whether you’re in search of sushi, stir-fry, or a flavorful bowl of noodles, the culinary traditions of Asia offer an extensive array of options that cater to every taste. As you embark on this flavorful journey, let’s explore some of the main flavor profiles of Asian food, with a particular focus on the rich and diverse offerings near Rossville, TN.
Tumblr media
The Main Flavor Profiles of Asian Cuisine
Asian food is known for its dynamic flavor combinations that can range from sweet and sour to salty and spicy, often in the same dish. These distinct tastes, when perfectly balanced, create a symphony of flavors that keep food lovers coming back for more. Understanding these key flavor profiles can elevate your appreciation of Asian cuisine and help guide your next meal choice.
1. Sweet
Many Asian dishes incorporate a sweetness that balances out other intense flavors like salty or spicy. This sweetness typically comes from ingredients such as sugar, honey, or fruit. For example, popular Chinese and Thai dishes like orange chicken or sweet and sour pork use sugar and fruit-based sauces to deliver a perfect harmony of tastes. In Japanese cuisine, teriyaki sauce is a beloved staple, known for its slightly sweet glaze over meats like chicken or beef.
If you're near Rossville, TN, you might find local Asian restaurants offering sweet dishes like teriyaki chicken or honey-glazed shrimp that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth while delivering an authentic culinary experience.
2. Salty
Saltiness plays a crucial role in balancing the flavors of many Asian dishes. The use of soy sauce, fish sauce, and other fermented sauces creates an umami-rich taste that is savory and satisfying. In Chinese cuisine, soy sauce is often used as the base for stir-fry dishes, providing a rich, salty depth. Japanese miso soup also relies on fermented ingredients to deliver that quintessential savory taste.
Restaurants near Rossville may offer traditional salty dishes like stir-fried noodles or ramen, highlighting the umami taste that makes these dishes so deeply flavorful.
3. Sour
Sour flavors are a hallmark of several Asian cuisines, particularly in Southeast Asia. Lime, tamarind, and rice vinegar are commonly used to add acidity and brightness to dishes. Thai cuisine, for example, frequently incorporates lime juice and tamarind paste into soups, salads, and stir-fries to achieve a refreshing tanginess. Vietnamese pho is another great example, with fresh lime juice added to the broth to balance the richness of the meat and noodles.
When searching for Asian food near me, keep an eye out for sour-forward dishes like Thai green papaya salad or Vietnamese pho, which offer the perfect blend of savory, sour, and aromatic flavors.
4. Spicy
If you’re a fan of heat, Asian cuisine offers plenty of spicy options to excite your taste buds. Ingredients like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and curry paste are frequently used to bring fiery flavors to the table. In dishes such as Thai green curry or Korean kimchi, the spice level can range from a mild kick to intense heat, depending on the dish and personal preference.
Rossville, TN, is home to a variety of Asian restaurants where you can indulge in spicy dishes like Korean barbecue or Thai curry, allowing you to experience the thrilling heat that makes these dishes so memorable.
5. Bitter
While not as commonly associated with Asian cuisine, bitterness plays an important role in balancing out sweet, salty, and spicy flavors. Bitter melon, for instance, is a popular ingredient in Chinese and Filipino cooking, offering a unique flavor that pairs well with meats and savory sauces. Additionally, herbs like cilantro and leafy greens can introduce a slight bitterness that contrasts nicely with other flavors in a dish.
If you're exploring the Asian dining scene near Rossville, you may come across dishes featuring bitter melon or herbal garnishes, adding complexity and depth to your meal.
6. Savory (Umami)
Umami, often referred to as the "fifth taste," is a core component of many Asian dishes. This savory flavor is derived from ingredients like soy sauce, miso, mushrooms, and seaweed, which provide a rich and satisfying depth to a variety of meals. Japanese cuisine, in particular, is famous for its umami-rich dishes, from miso soup to sushi made with fresh fish.
If you're dining near Rossville, be sure to try umami-packed options like sushi or miso soup, both of which showcase the savory richness that defines much of Asian cuisine.
7. Aromatic
Aromatic ingredients such as ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and basil are frequently used in Asian cooking to enhance the overall flavor profile of a dish. These fragrant spices and herbs add an extra layer of complexity, making dishes both flavorful and fragrant. In Thai cuisine, for example, lemongrass and basil are key components in dishes like Tom Yum soup and green curry, offering a refreshing aroma that complements the other flavors.
When dining at Asian restaurants near Rossville, you’ll likely encounter dishes infused with these aromatic herbs and spices, creating a dining experience that tantalizes both the senses of taste and smell.
Where to Find the Best Asian Food Near Rossville, TN
Now that you have a better understanding of the flavor profiles that make Asian cuisine so exciting, you’re probably wondering where to find the best Asian food near me.
