WOHOOOOO.

Thanks @Debbi 💓

Welcome Rabbi!!! Glad to finally have you on AMA!! 🤩🤩

Congrats~~!! ✨✨

Welcome to my AMA guysss! Finally!!! ❤️
Let’s talk about everything and anything that you want 😅

P.s If you live anywhere near a MINISTOP? You need to try their soft cream because it comes with an edible cookie spoon now 😭❤️

🎉 Yuki has sent you 100 points! 🎉

I love ministops icecream😭😭❤️❤️

@Rashi IKR. How underrated is ministop icecream 😭

@Yuki thank youuuu ✨

@Maddie and @Jule THANKS ✨❤️

宜しくご指導ご鞭撻の程、お願い申し上げます。

Yay @Rabbi!!! 🎉🎉

I don’t enjoy soft cream as much. But I have to say that the cookie spoon pushes me to buy it regardless 🙈

@Hide san that’s more Japanese than I’ve heard in 6 years 😂 Yoroshiku 🙏

Omg @Emma, i’m not a soft cream person either but ministop is ELITE 😩

@Rabbi Yessss! I’m so happy that someone could relate 🙌🙌

@Rabbi is it that you don’t like dairy in general? I don’t think I have a good relationship with dairy in general 😅

@Emma Oh yeah? Are you lactose intolerant? I don’t really have an issue with dairy. I’m just not a fan of ice creams and all in general. I don’t hate them but I guess I just don’t like them as much as people usually do.

@Rabbi That Japanese expression is not bizarre for GenX Japanese like me,only if it is in a business letter.

However,when thinking about original meaning of 鞭撻 which means "hit me by a whip",it's obviously weird and hillarious.

鞭撻 means "encouragement"in that kinds of letter lol.

Hahaha. Hit me by a whip does sound hilarious @Hide😂 This is just a classic case of language evolving. As time passes, previously used words sound stranger. Especially if you don’t know the language (like me) it can be a chaos.

@Rabbi I think I’m lactose intolerant, but never got it tested from the clinic. I feel super uncomfortable post eating something milky :((

But the weird part is that I’m fine with Chocolate 😅🍫

@Emma I totally get that. Over 70 percent of the asians are lactose intolerant. I used to be okay with milk but after drinking milk everyday at school for three years, suddenly my stomach started acting up. So I switched to almond milk and now i’m good.

However, other milk products don’t make my stomach upset at all. 😂

Oh Rabbi nice to have you back on AMA 😍

@Rabbi oh I didn’t know that! 😱 It’s interesting as to how our bodies start reacting to food at different ages 😅

My body can take two slices of cheese pizza and chocolate 😅 I feel extremely uncomfortable when I eat other dairy products

It’s probably a mind game as well (I guess)

@Emma it is indeed interesting. I read that lactose intolerance can begin or end at any point and age in life.

Oh no. pizza and chocolates 😮‍💨 How can one live without them?!

Thanks @Thilini ❤️

THANKS @Taka san ✨

@Akemi san gave me a bday present. It’s a badge pin she found in Kyoto and IT LOOKS LIKE ME wwww.

so cute!!❤️❤️

Cool badge pin. By the way, Happy birthday @Rabbi🎉

Thanks beautiful @Thilini 💓

Took a trip to the Gotemba outlet yesterday. Ate a bit too much and I have a stomachache today. But, no regrets ✌🏼

WOW! As a ramen connoisseur I need to mention that ramen in the 2nd pic must be so nice.That sea bream ramen shop was established by a famous sushi restaurant in Ginza.

@Hide san omg how did you know it’s sea bream ramen? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 and yes, it tasted amazing. The broth was so comforting like the kind you want to drink when you catch a cold.

The Takoyaki is 😱

I have special ability that I can tell which kinds of ramen when I take a look at pic of ramen.

....CAP lol.

Wow!! THAT is a talent @Hide !! 🤩🤩

@Rabbi I have heard so much about the Outlet! Seeing it for the first time thanks to your thread!!

How was your trip?? 🤔

@Maddie yeah I completely agree! @Hide-san’s skill to know so much about restaurants and cafés is amazing!!! 🤩

i’m in shock @Hide san. 🤯

@Emma it was pretty cool. Especially if you’re interested in some luxury shopping, it could be a fun place to check out. A lot of good food too and a view of Mt Fuji up close. Highly recommended. It’s really huge tho so you can’t see all of it in one day IMO.

@Thilini the takoyaki was 🔥

@Rabbi Sounds really nice! Should make some time to visit! 🙈🫶🏽

@Rabbi oh I’m that case I guess it’ll have to be a shopping weekend! 😅 Thank you for sharing, Rabbi!!

@Emma you’ll love it hehe.

Guys what do you think of my new socks? 😅

@Rabbi how cuteeee!!!! 🙈🥹

From where did you get it, @Rabbi?

@Emma, Ikr??? 🥺 I got this from tutuanna. I could choose any three pairs of socks for 1000¥.

Practice Japanese socks!

www @Hiro san 😂 Good point.

I was craving curry for a few days now, so this was the perfect Saturday night dinner after a fun LanCul session 🤭🤩

Wooo looks yummy! That is your long-awaited curry!（Does this make sence?）Did you cook it?

@Hori hehe it does make sense!! No, I didn’t cook this. I went to a restaurant.

https://eirin-fukuju.jp/genre/cobara-hetta/

This is the place I went to. Love their curries 🤤

🎉 Taka has sent you 50 points! 🎉

Who said summer is over 🥵🥵🥵

I said autumn is just around the corner, however, transition function of the season is now off duty due to some mechanical accident.So please enjoy additional summer season just a little while more.

Hahaha. @Hide ‘off duty’ sounds about right. 😂 It seems like a system error to me. 🥵

Omg I haven’t gone through this AMA in so long! it looks like a really nice food blog 👏🏽💯

Rabbi the curry looks very interesting! The colours are so unique!!!

@Emma it’s def turning into a food blog haha.

September 21st is National Chai Day 😄 and if you haven’t ever dipped your naan in a hot cup of chai, YOU HAVEN’T LIVED!

rabbi pls make me chai someday😭

@Rashi I don’t even make chai for myself in Japan. It never tastes like home so I stopped trying. 😭

@Rabbi, it’s first time I heard of this combination of Chai and Naan

Happy Chai Day, everyone!

Ha ha never tried that chai dipped naan version. In Sri Lanka, we dip slice if bread inside our milk tea and eat it as a snack. I wanna try this version as well.

@Thilini we do that too 😂 Bread in chai. BUT YOU GUYS HAVE TO TRY NAAN DIPPED IN CHAI @Emma

@Rabbi, @Rashi, @Tina, @Emma
You all seem to enjoy chatting in AMA open room everyday.
So let me name your group as SALT(South Asia Lovely Team).

This is a name present from FELT(far East Lovely Twin, @hide,@shimo)

@Rabbi I think paratha would be better suited with chai than naan 🫣🫣

@Shimo San you’re HILARIOUS 😂😂😭😭

@Rashi oh wow! I’ve got a list of bread to try with chai next time! Thank you for the recommendations guys!!!

@Rashi @Rabbi @Time I know that paratha and naan are very different to each other. But does anyone know as to what results in the difference?

@Shimo-san thank you for the name! It’s super creative 🤩

@Rashi nothing ever beats paratha and chai but Japanese people aren’t introduced to it yet. Not like they’re familiar with naan. I mean you can find paratha on the menu in some Indian places but how many Japanese people do you think have tried it 😩😩

HAHAHA @shimo san that is one hell of a name. love it!!!!!

@Rabbi ajwain paratha + masala chai = heaven🤍😭

Here you go @Emma.

This is what a paratha looks like

@Rashi uff. STOP 😩

Ha ha what a cool name @Shimo san 😀

I love paratha very much. In Sri Lanka, we cut the paratha in to square shape pieces and pour a spicy curry on top and mix with paratha. That gives a heavenly taste 🥹🥹

@Thilini that sounds heavenly. 🥺

ANYTHING with paratha is a comfort food for me.

@Rabbi my dad made me some green chili achar mix. I’ll bring it for you when we meet!! it’s SOOOOOO good😭❤️

OMGGGGG @Rashi.

What a beautiful sunset today 🥺

I know right? I was in my home when I saw it. Love the colors of nature 😍

Omg these pictures are gorgeous! 😍😍

@Thilini paratha’a cut in pieces with curry is my go to street food after a crazy day!

We have something called Godamba. It’s like double the size of a human face 😂 @Rabbi @Rashi do you have something like this in Pakistan or India as well ?

@Emma is that similar to a paratha?

@Emma regarding the size 😂 Yes, we do have a similar thing, also called ‘roti’ but not made of wheat flour. It’s huge, soft, chewy and it’s more popular in the north of Pakistan.

@Thilini stunning pictures as always. Trust you to capture the most beautiful moments.

@Rabbi roti here is made of wheat flour (+ some extra heathy grains like my mother likes to add) and it’s not chewy at all

@Rashi yep that’s the roti we normally have in Pakistan. But there’s a different kind of roti also available called Manda or rumali roti which is kind of huge and chewy because it’s made of all-purpose flour (maida) which is obv unhealthy as a refined carb but tastes amazing.

@Rabbi oh so we share the massive roti culture! How lovely!

@Rashi I’m not very sure of the different types of flour used. But I can definitely say that the texture and taste is different

Talking about roti, I wanna share this Sri Lankan version of it. This is coconut roti. It’s made with scraped coconuts and bread flour. Very delicious breakfast for us. 🤤

Omg coconut roti? @Thilini that sounds delish. 🥺😩 What kind of curry do you usually eat with it? How does it taste? Is it sweet?

@Thilini oh yes the coconut roti!! 🥥 This is just amazing 🫶🏽

Rabbi it usually goes with any curry (Dhal, chicken curry, mutton curry, vegetarian curries etc).

oh Also, this taste really good as a dessert with sugar, jam, honey, and peanut butter etc. Sugar and butter with coconut roti is my personal favorite 🥹

😩😩😩 Omg @Emma stoppp. I want to try it as a dessert!!!

@Rabbi I loveeee rumali roti!! I always eat butter chicken with rumali roti lol
but I need to be fast because when it dries, it’s almost impossible to chew lol

Hahaha. FACT @Rashi.

Woah. Thanks for the wonderful points @Taka and @Harumi san 🥺❤️

My friend baked some amazing vegan chocolate chip cookies for me. 🍪

@Rabbi sorry about that Rabbi!!! 🥹😅

@Rabbi the cookies look so good! 😍

choc chip cookies are my absolute fave!! 😍😍 they look scrupmtious Rabbi!!

They were just heavenly 😮‍💨 @Maddie @Emma ❤️

When I first came to Japan, I didn’t really like soba. It took me 3 years to start liking it and now i’m happily OBSESSED. 💓

That’s why you are becoming Japanese girl!
oops,Not girl, arasa-.(sorry)

@Shimo san omg am I not a girl anymore? 🤯

No,no,no, of course you are eternal brilliant Girl！！！
Rabbi-sama 💦💦💦

I am still the beginner as English learner. So sometimes I made a mistake.💦💦

But recently my color of LanCul badge turned gold from silver.
You are becoming a Japanese girl. I am becoming the veteran LanCuler!

HAHAHAHAH Rabbi sama always cracks me up 😆😆

@Shimo san please grace my sessions with your presence some day. 待っている

Roger that !
By light speed.

I just found somebody trod on the tiger's tail 💨

Hahaha @Hide san 😂😆

What do you think of my gyoza skills? Not bad, right? 🥟

@Rabbi feed me some of them😭😭😭 I’ll eat them with my momo dip 🥲

Indian/Nepalese dumplings!! We call them ‘momos’
It needs to be eaten with a really spicy chilli dip and maybe some sweet mayonnaise 🤤🤤🤤 i love it so much and it was the first thing that I ate when I went back to india haha. Also, they are probably the most famous street snack in Delhi (my hometown)

Hey Rabbi, l went to a Pakistan restaurant last week. I tried this Chapali kebab as recommended by the restaurant staff. It was awesome. Super delicious. Is this a regular dish Pakistan?

Omg @Rashi, what’s the filling inside momos? 🤤

@Thilini oh wow. Where is this restaurant? Chapali kebabs are very famous. They’re basically just minced beef, onions, green chillies and spices mixed together and turned into patties which are then grilled. You can have these with naan, roti or inside a burger.

3pcs for 1000¥ is an insane amount to pay for them. 😩

@Rashi where can we get momos in Japan?

@Rabbi it can either be chicken, paneer (cottage cheese) or veggies!! I love the paneer ones the bestttt😍😍

@Rabbi, this restaurant is in Sagamihara city. As you mentioned, we had them with roti. I thought it’s a good deal to have for 1000¥ though 🫤

@Rashi omg. 😮‍💨🥺

@Thilini I guess i’m turning into my mother :p I think i can cook better in much cheaper. HAHAHA.

Incredible sunset yesterday ✨

A beautiful scenery is a reflection of beautiful mind.
In my case, I can see a huge crab with orange eyes and a big orange mouth is approaching to the earth.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA @Shimo san 😂😂😂 Best thing i’ve read all day and it’s only 6:30 in the morning. You just made my day. 🦀

Shopping when you’re hungry is a terrible mistake. I always buy weird things because I don’t know what my body wants. 😂 Yesterday I didn’t know if I wanted to eat healthy or junk.

cacao is rich in Polyphenol. it's good for health.

@Yasu that just made me feel less guilty. haha. thanksssss ❤️

Sometimes I drink hot black milk tea at Gong Cha cause it’s similar to chai. 🥺

how similar are we talking

like 75 percent similar. @Rashi

75% is not enough. Hide san is more similar to me!
Please listen to my idea.
If we appear LanCul Halloween Party as “Twin” wearing the same costume , we would get a special award???

↑↑↑ If yes, then press a heart mark upside.↑↑↑

@Rabbi oki I’ll try it next time I come across gong cha hehe

@shimo san 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey bro chill lol 😅
I'm not gonna be in ngl lol. I'm in anti-veggie club which means I don't like pumpkin 🤣

@Hide San if you don’t like pumpkin then you should stay miles away from the new seasonal drink at Starbucks!! it had pumpkin jelly in it🥲🥲🥲🥲 I was so shocked when I tried it yesterday. I thought I’d be chocolaty 🥲🥲🥲

it’d*

I'm in anti-starbucks club.
I have never been there for around 10 yrs　😅

oh nooo why??? Starbucks matcha latte it soooooo good!!!

I don't go to not only starbucks but also other chain cafes 😉

@Rashi hi Rashi, nice to “text” you!
the pic of new frappechino looks good! I thought it was included pumpkin pudding but actually jelly?? also wonder the black color comes from chocolate 🤔

@Rico San!! hiii!! I think you’re right! it’s pumpkin pudding! I got confused before.

the black syrup is not really chocolate. I could not understand the taste of it! I really liked how it looked but the taste was not for me🥲🥲🥲

@Rashi thank you for replying! ohh I see, wish it was chocolate 😵‍💫 but i remember they also have Chocolate Latte rn as a seasonal flavor!

@Rico San oh yes!! unfortunately, I couldn’t try it😭
