A thump up for coffee from Trader Joe's
This limited edition peaberry coffee from Kauai is a must buy we discovered at Trader Joe's.
The beans look very special
I use Frech press method to brew it, with help from Breville Smart Grinder

How to make caramel sauce for Vietnamese food
Add two spoons of sugar (better to use brown sugar) into a small bowl
Use medium heat to make to sugar melt down (about 3 minutes)
When this liquid changes to medium brown, add 1-2 cups of water (depends on your demand to cook: eg, thicker sauce for fish, lighter one for meat)

Japanese noodle
Each bowl of noodle is about $10. The meat is very tender. Dried bamboo (dark color part you see in the bowl) brings a special flavor to the soup. Great try!
A vege dish for Monday
A simple tofu dish with Breville risotto plus - great choice when you are student
