Misua


More moleskin junk; this was at a ramen noodle joint. Speaking of noodles, Misua is a Chinese thin type of noodle used in soups. When I was a kid, I used to eat meatball misua soup at my aunt's house. It was so hearty and comforting. After I devoured my meal, I was allowed to play NES all day. hehe.

I bought some at the shop recently and put them in some light broth I made. The soft delicate thread of the noodle brings back memories of yesteryear.

Light and Magic


Here is an older sketch that I tweaked and incorporated some elements of a cool cult classic movie from the 80's. The original sketch had a more bulky design with lots of mech type of armor. On a side note, I was listening to Ladytron while working on this, I think their music would befit the Tron universe to a T.

*brownies from Togo's are surprisingly good and not to sweet.

Bisque


Page from the moleskin. Ballpoint. Lobster Bisque from WF is highly recommended. Even better with more salt and tobasco.

Belgian Waffle


Another oldie from the sb. W slap on colors.
There was a leftover belgian waffle w/ some blueberry sauce on the counter. It had a a dab of cool whip. Very tasty bite. Beglian waffles are sweeter than your average waffle.

Chip Pee No


More old sketches from the archives, slapped with quickie paint for visual interest. I may do another clean version of this one.
By the way, Ciopinno is a like a seafood type stew w tomato based soup. The one from Whole Foods is good and has lots of fresh chunky pieces of tuna.

Nacho Boy


More oldies, until I finish up on some new stuff. Waiting at the DMV to renew my license for an hour got me hungry so I ordered some wiche's from Ike's. And one of them was called Nacho Boy.
I like how Ike's in Redwood City is located inside of a Law Office Complex it's such an interesting contrast. The Nacho Boy was good, it consisted of roast beef, mushrooms, avocado, and swiss. I supremed mine by requesting bacon. The only downside was the flimsy bacon and meat portions weren't up to my expectation.
The other one I ordered was called "It's not you, it's me" which had halal chicken, sweet orange glaze, avocado, pepperjack. It tasted good but I wanted more sweet and tartness from the orange glaze; it was such a weak glaze in terms of flavor. Will be back to try other s'wiches.

Coconut Vinegar


Here's an old sketch. I'm currently listening to slow jams from the 90's. Brings back good vibes.
Anyhoo went shopping at the local Asian Specialty Market and found some spiced coconut vinegar. It taste's like it has alcohol; very potent. It's quite good with rich meats ie; sausage, pork belly. I tried making a sweet and sour sauce with it using banana ketchup to accompany my moms pork egg rolls; but the result left a funny after taste in my mouth.
