The Bears Den

Let's all be honest, they are weird, yet good. ----     Alright. I realized that frequent posting is important for the blog to kick off better, and also I have too many weird thoughts in my head that for some reason cannot be put into the long-winded articles I usually publish in the Bears Den. So, after 15 minutes of being pissed off when I attempted to write this article on my phone (the Blogspot app sucks; Canva runs shit on my phone.), and 2 or so weeks of haitus, I decided to just write on my usual set up... but SHORTER! So yeah, when I have weird footnotes in mind, I'll just be writing these "Shorts". Enjoy! ----      Throughout the pandemic, I have noticed that I have been eating a lot more instant noodles than I should. Don't get me wrong, I can cook other things, but it seems much easier for me to simply just put dried noodles in a bowl, fill it with hot water, wait, and just follow any other instructions on the packet.

  A bento meal from Kureji.   A Bento  refers to a Japanese packed home-made or restaurant take-out meal for one person. Most Japanese restaurants serve bento  as a form of cheap deal food package for the customers convenience. There are many Japanese restaurants in the Philippines like Rei Rei Ken, Tokyo-Tokyo, Kureji, etc. and I loved eating in those places whenever I had the chance. Ramen, Katsu-don, Curry, Karaage Fried Chicken, Sushi, Tempura, Gyoza, and Potato Salad (stfu; Kureji's has the best potato salad.) are some of my favorite picks whenever I went out to a Japanese restaurants; The food was expensive, around PhP200+ depending on where you were eating, but was still very much worth it nonetheless. Maybe there was some weeb/otaku bits inside me made me yearn to learn more about Japanese food and culture; or maybe I wanted to taste the food I usually see in Studio Ghibli  films (which look too fucking awesome). Either way, I really liked Japanese food....
