Some 30+ years ago, through the kindness of strangers & some luck, packed all I have into 2 bags & took the longest flight till then. Landed on a fine spring day & few hours later, alone & curious, took a train into Umeda-Osaka. It was my 1st real introduction to Japan. Places I used to frequent have changed beyond recognition, but its the memories of the places & friendships made that matters.

Had a quite lousy fried beehoon earlier this week at an event. Always an incentive for me to home-cook 😂 similar dish. Fried beehoon with tinned braised pork. Complemented with vege acar, pickled green chilli & sambal belacan

Gifted this 2 plants. Looking forward to repotting them when they acclimatised to “ high-rise living” 😂. They are Ulam raja & Mugwort- but could you differentiate them just from the photo? Left is__ Right is __
