Get right back to the asari shell home!

My latest addiction is eating asari pasta. My obsession is huge its getting uncontrollable. I wonder if people get infected with sea related virus from eating too much clams/oysters/lala. I get obsessed over a single thing quite easily and will keep repeating the action until I finally get bored or sick of it and abhor the activity for overly extended periods of time or simply not to return to it altogether. Ok thats a freaking long sentence but thats me (Y)
model walk baby talk in a farking expensive japanese grocery store. #@%$^&* Thats why I'm an avid Daiso supporter.
I can't think of a single reason why I love asari clams so much. It could be the sweetness fresh clams bring to the miso soup when you let it simmer and cook for some time. Or perhaps its the squishy and chewable texture of the clams when you put them into your mouth. Or simply the satisfaction from just digging clam meat out of their home shells(: Either ways, I wish I can have asari clams in all the soup I have; potato soup, watercress soup, melon soup, miso soup, chicken soup (ok it'll be weird), you name it. I don't really know how to cook and thats one sad fact I want to change about myself.

I do know how to make miso soup and put asari clams in it, the devastating thing is. It just doesn't taste the same. I did exactly what google taught me (I'm a self taught learner), but the taste is way off. I admit I've added seaweed into the soup, and it ended up tasting a tad too seaweedy. The asari clams sweetness is just not there? Masa told me they put white wine or something..but I don't really want to buy a bottle of white food wine just for the asari. Unless white sipping wine counts as a white food wine..I'm not sure is it the same? Its just too bad, I think only restaurants can attain the level of consistency in their asari soup or maybe its just me and my 101 lousy cooking skills.

On the topic of food, I thought I might as well share my first time experience of eating truffle fries. Yea you got that right, I only managed to eat truffle fries recently and I love it only if its fat stuffed and soggy. Step aside for Platypus's truffle fries man...have not tried PS cafe's fries, will do it sometime(: Love the smelly smell of truffle fries, gives me the impression that I'm really eating mushroom mashed fries or something. It must be the oil that gives it the lovely pungent smell. Its. all. about. the. smell. I trust
Its $6.90 for small little heap..sprinkled parmesan cheese and a few slices of truffle (looks like it, or rather cooked truffle looking)..pretty decent for the taste I would say. Would be back for more like what food connoisseur always say. haha self proclaimed food connoisseur.
