banana pudding isn't really a very common dessert where i am, and just recently it was all the rage because of the matcha latte/banana pudding trend. when i had my first taste of banana pudding (oh my god), it's sooo good, i've made it twice already and i'm planning to make it again soon. (pictured: my first taste of banana pudding from a cafe, serving it with matcha latte. honestly, i don't see why they are being paired together. they are great separately but i don't see the point of their pairing.)
any sort or rice porridge- whether plain congee which is just rice cooked in water or arroz caldo, rice porridge with chicken (so kinda like a cross between porridge and chicken soup)
i am not new to pinterest but i only ever use it to browse through and save "inspo" for arts, design, aesthetics, etc. and i have never used it to post my own photos, that is until a few days ago. i still save photos/art for inspo but i like how the interface makes your photos look more fluid. instagram's square design looks too clinical, and limits the dimensions of photos and videos you could upload, unlike on pinterest where you could have combinations of media in varying sizes, and they fit in a puzzle kind of way, the feed looks much more relaxed and personalized.
i started making my own kimchi because my spice tolerance is not very high but i really like kimchi, so i make it on my own to adjust to my taste. i have done other fermented/preserved food as well (pickles, radishes, bean sprouts, carrots, marinated eggs). as someone who likes to cook but also gets regular bouts of laziness, these prepared foods have been a lifesaver and moneysaver. i usually pair it with rice, which if you have a rice cooker isn't really much of a bother to do, or i simply snack on them. and since they are fermented or preserved most of these items are even better the longer they sit, so i can make a big batch on my energetic days and not worry about them going bad so soon. pictured here: my new batch of kimchi, will probably wait a few days or a week before i start eating, but good to know i have something for the coming weeks
