Got a question...

I've seen in numerous shows where someone puts a spoon in cold water before eating curry... Lunch Queen to name one...

So... what's the purpose?

To keep the spoon from melting? :beaten:

Like I said, it's bogus... A gimmick.


From Wiki:

As white chocolate does not contain cocoa solids, it does not meet the standards to be called chocolate in many countries. In the United States, since 2004, white chocolate needs to be at least 20% (by weight) cocoa butter, at least 14% total milk solids, and less than 55% sweeteners such as sugar. Before this date, US firms needed temporary marketing permits to sell this cocoa solids-free chocolate. In the European Union white chocolate needs to contain not less than 20% cocoa butter and not less than 14% dry milk solids.

To clean the spoon or to cool down the food perhaps... :headscratch:

Yummy... :)


I had, like every Friday, sushi for lunch. :woot:

I still don't understand what that caviar hype is all about. Not that it's not bad, but it doesn't taste anything. I still prefer chicken eggs or Cadbury creme eggs. :drooling:

Maybe I should try caviar at $1000 a can, but somehow, I don't think it'd be that great. I'm sure if someone would sell rat droppings at $1000 a can, everybody in Hollywood would eat some. =T

some celebrity would have to eat it and say that it's hip to eat these droppings, then the masses will follow. you know, kinda like scientology. (or to follow the kaballah, etc.)

LOL

I guess you 2 are correct. :hehe:

damn, that much, you can buy a new computer or a laptop instead.

had spaghetti for dinner... :bonk:

just added another japanese restaurant to my ever growing list


Musha in Torrance...this restaurant is awesome...the food was so delicious and the environment is casual and inviting. Service was adequate and attentive.


Bean noodle salad with chicken

Ebi Mayo Mayo - battered shrimp with mayo sauce topped with caviar

Cheese Risotto - Japanese brown rice risotto cooked in chicken broth and mixed with cheese, onion, and bacon with a touch of cream

Asari Clams with Bok Choy - steamed clams in broth with Garlic and Japanese mushrooms

Buta Kakuni - Pork Belly Braised for 4 hours in soy sauce, mirin and sugar...ultra tender, fatty and luscious....served with potato and hardboiled egg

Dinner for two - 50 dollars (including one large bottle of Asahi beer).....very resonable given the quality and quantity of food...

I definitely recommend this place

i'm so dayem full i'm about to pass out....

Heh, you're in my neck of the woods eating out more than I am in my own backyard... :sweat:

$50?? Very reasonable. Especially if you had to loosen the ol' belt a notch. :thumbsup:
