verrrry cute. though it looks a bit frazzled in the big illustration, but quite relaxed in the rice cooker. also agree that kogepan (or ttanpan in korean) is adorable, especially for its surliness!
Snapshots from South Korea: Vegetarian Temple Food at Sanchon
there's a place on 32nd street – hangawi. you can get a similar experience, and it's all vegetarian as well – http://www.hangawirestaurant.com/

minar in midtown. they serve delicious salmon tandoori on wednesdays and thursdays!
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
oh how could i forget emmi? that's a great one too, but again, a bit pricey.
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
i used to be a liberté devotee, but then i tried chobani yogurt with fruit on the bottom. delicious. it's a bit on the pricier side, so when i can't splurge i go back to liberté (pear + grains is a great flavor i agree, deb07!) or nonfat brown cow with fruit on the bottom.
Sugar Rush: Taiyaki from Mitsuwa in New Jersey
does anyone have a recipe for making the batter? i'm tempted to do a hybrid version in my aebelskiver pan. thanks!
A Tale of Two Bakeries: Boston's Flour Bakery and Clear Flour Bread
must agree with howlandwolfe that those not in boston proper cannot access flour or clear flour easily. there are some other great options though…one is bread & chocolate in newtonville. delicious and picture-perfect pastries/cakes/cookies and a rich decadent hot chocolate!
Sugar Rush: Sweet Rice Twist from Koryodang
the twist's good – but you must try the rice flour donut holes. they're unadulterated (the twist has some crumbly covering), made from the same ingredients. they're highly addictive! also sold at koryodang.
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
Danactive tastes better, does more, is healthier and only costs .50 cents a bottle.
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
Ooh, I have fond of memories of this. It was a staple in my childhood, and it was always a treat. There was always something so pleasurable about tearing off that red and silver foil cover.
I'm now in my 30s, and I've rediscovered this drink. I just decided to buy three packs when I chanced upon a vendor on our street, since it was so humid. Great decision! I am now stashing packs in my fridge. If anyone asks, I'm citing the health-probiotic thingy as my reason for drinking it :-P.

Artichoke pizza. Upgrade from the birthday pizza parties you had when you were a kid, right?
Win Tickets To Edible Manhattan's Seaport Birthday Party
If I could get Crubs Bakery to make me a giant cupcake as a birthday cake, I'd be ok with dying on my birthday. That is, after eating the cupcake.

Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
having tried different liberte flavors- I have something slightly blasphemous to add: I might prefer Liberte's yogurt over most ice creams.

Pommes Frites and then the Cupcake Stop... I would go back and forth all party!
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
It brings me back to childhood. They do taste the best when frozen!
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
There is a bar/restaurant called Maru on 32nd street in KTown NYC that serves a cocktail featuring this little drink. It is so tasty! If you are a fan, I would go seek this out.
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
Had this growing up too and was surprised to see the marketing lately.
I used to freeze it then eat it like a miniature slushy. I'd use a chopstick to fluff up the frozen goodness.
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
I was excited to find this in the local market, bought it, and then discovered it was made in Mexico. My concern is that there have been so many recalls recently on food products made in Mexico. Thoughts/input welcome. Thanks.

@ilovermonteats: Yes, Yakult is a probiotic.
Although Yakult has a high sugar concentration, given it small bottle size (65 ml), it only has 11 grams of sugar per serving, which is less than the amount of sugar in most yogurts (except plain yogurts or those with sweeteners).
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
Yakult is great, just too small! Had it growing up in Brazil!
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
I grew up in Paraguay, South America, and all of my Chinese and Korean classmates brought Yakult (imported from Brazil) to school every single day. I never tried it ... I remember the color of it kind of freaking me out as a child, so even now I'm irrationally afraid to taste it.
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
Oh yeah, very fond memories of this stuff. I still grab it from Asian supermarkets every once in a while.
It's a nice tiny snack. I generally make it last by using my nail to push only a tiny hole in the foil and suck it out a small amount at a time. Just enough to coat the tongue and get the flavor.
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
Yes it tastes exactly like pinkberry in liquid form!
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
it's a probiotic? I thought it was just sugary goodness!
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
we used to take these on family hikes (you know, those "san" trips)... my sister and brother used to get a kick out of getting me to finish mine first by playing the "let's see who can drink the fastest" - just so they could laugh at me when i'd win and then realize they still had theirs to enjoy. mean kids.
Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult
Anyone who likes this stuff most likely grew up on it. My Brasilian girlfriend made me try it once and I thought that it tasted like cheap, chalky, watery yogurt. It has so much sugar too; 18 grams per 100 ml? Coke is 10 grams per 100 ml! There are more health benefits in a good yogurt than this tiny, sugary bottle that I will never again consume. Next time you drink this, read the list of ingredients... that turns me off right there.
