To Lust After

Don't you hate it when you get hung up on something and you can't seem to get it out of your head? Last week, I went shopping with a few of my girlfriends, and I chanced upon a top from Forever 21 that I pretty much fell in love with, and that happens very rarely. Unfortunately, I foolishly did not buy it because it was too spontaneous of a buy for me. A week later (yesterday), I found myself back in the store, scouring every nook and cranny for it, and what do you know? I didn't find it anywhere! So what did I do? I checked the website, and that too let me down due to the lack of my size. Ugh, I'm still kicking myself for my foolishness. Has that happened to anyone else?
Anyway... I should stop my complaining, and move on. On Sunday, I headed out to the Richmond Night Market with the same group of girlfriends. The Night Market occurs annually, and attracts a fair number of people. Honestly speaking, the majority of people I know go there only for the food, and I'm one of them, hehe. After many hectic minutes of trying to maneuver through hoards of people while trying to decide on what to eat, Jess Mai, from http://www.maiphilosophy.blogspot.com/, and I finally decided to try out the rice burgers from a small stall called Sumo Bites. It was buzzing with people, which was definitely a very good sign. Here's a quick snapshot of what they looked like.

As delicious as they were, they were quite messy to eat. The rice patties fell apart easily, and the kimchi that I added to mine fell out and stained my jeans. However, the delicious aspect of the burgers made up for the messiness. (I kinda want one now just thinking about it.)
Next, we moved on to barbecued squid, which was also quite delicious. It wasn't very rubbery like most of the squid I've eaten, and I didn't find myself choking on it like I normally do. Kudos to the cook! He did an excellent job, especially considering the time crunch he was on. Too bad I don't have a picture of that. Hmm, but I think the yummiest escapade of the night had to be the deep fried cheesecake. Sooo good! I'm definitely going back for more. So here I leave you with a picture of some yummy deep fried cheesecake with smores. Mmm.

  1. RICE burgers!?!? Really!? that sounds like pure messy awesomeness!
    + yeah.... since everything is so affordable at F21, you definitely got to get it while it's hot. There was a shirt that I favorited online because I was like, "I'll come back later." NO. Sold Out.

    Anywho, this comment is becoming way longer than I planned, but I wanted to say that you had me at your first post :) I'm soooo following you!

  2. Haha, they were definitely messy, but sooooo delicious.
    And I know, I still regret not getting that top. It was in my size too! That's rare for me to find something that I love at first sight. Lesson learned I guess (the hard way, booo). I hope you found something similar to what you wanted, I know how that feels.
    And thank you for following =D
