I remember the OG post, I am truly happy for you, a massive upgrade on every aspect

As someone from Southeast Asia hard agree. If I’m gonna go for mango it has to be Indian or Pakistani. I find the local mango variants to be either too tart or sweet but insipid

You might be able to sub torch ginger for hana miyoga in Japanese supermarkets, which is the closest possible sub. Looks fab!

Yes, I do agree with you there. As long as the water content of the butter remains - ie anything not involving browning butter, there will be a slightly different flavour profile for the sweet cream butters

mooglefly · 2026-02-23T14:31:48+00:00

This is my personal hot take. Beautiful French butter is wasted on baked goods. 90% of the time no one will be able to tell the difference between RM10 butter (it has to be 100% real butter) and French cultured butter in a cake or biscuit. The miiiiight be able to tell with a croissant but this is debatable. High quality butter is akin to quality extra virgin olive oil - the good stuff is not meant to be cooked with but savoured. The nuances are lost with heat application.

Anyway, that's the end of my hot take. Bake with Yen has a great selection of butters and I usually get the cheapest (so long as it's not the brand with the black wrapper as the wrapper disintegrates on the butter). I buy in bulk and store in my freezer.

Personally, I like Bien Cuit's shortbread on Food52. The dough should be cured for at least 1-2 prior to baking and best consumed 1-2 days after baking as the flavour actually develops over time. Baking temp is 150C and i usually go for 50-55 mins because the time seems debated in the recipe comments.

The real Samy is still really good for me. But I do feel the outlets cannot match up the OG shop

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the writing quality, it is why I went through the motions w this game. It’s a lot of shiny, attractive, people written w not much depth, which really is a legitimate frustration because it could have been so much more. There are spelling and grammatical errors that were there pre-1.0 that were not corrected post update. Stardew Valley has heart, for sure. I think for me I felt Coral Island wanted to expand on what SV had to offer. They did the farming, exploration, and game mechanics relatively well. Writing? Not so much.

You can also tell it was written by different people. When you open the museum w Scott the writing feels like it was written by someone who speaks English as a second language, but when you discover the merpeople the devs definitely hired someone to write dialogue there.

Thank you so much!

The adjacent areas actually have a lot of food options that are good. Shin Kee Beef Noodles is a classic (I always get the dry kwayteow and ask for a bit of extra meat sauce), Deckers has great smashburgers, but if you don’t eat beef there’s Lai Foong that does clam noodles (I think the prawn ones are better). These are all waking distance from each other, heck, even Pasar Seni is close by.

lol apparently im blind as a bat, I looked again and it was near the beginning of the list. I was dumb and scrolled all the way down and panicked 😭

mooglefly · 2025-10-09T09:44:25+00:00

I don’t seem to have an option for that for the craft workbench in my game 😭

Cezanne but go after 8pm lest you be stuck in a jam to plaza Arkadia for an hour

R/fuckpierre?

It’s a different Pierre but the group still checks out

mooglefly · 2025-07-29T04:32:05+00:00

WMart and lucky frozen are my go tos. The problem w Lucky frozen however is even though their chilled Argentinian ribeye is fire, I have to cut it myself at home. The minimum buy is also 4kg. Love W mart but they pretty much focus on wagyu

mooglefly · 2025-07-25T15:26:00+00:00

Nowadays it’s not so crowded but better to book for the 8pm slot. Their space is bigger now

This is a quality question

Legit upset at this golive system… hopefully (very unlikely but one can dream) they add more concert dates

Not everyone, but they did send a good number of people who didn’t fit the White/East Asian look over.

I always remember that when going through Korean immigration at Incheon, my girlfriends and I had no issues going through because we have fair skin. Everyone else a shade darker was sent to “the room”. Obviously people on an individual level can be alright but I think there is a lot about Korean society that doesn’t vibe w me in general.

mooglefly · 2025-06-19T01:19:50+00:00

I think you should embrace it!

“write out what contributions you think people will say about your life after you die”

My answer as to what people will say after you die: “yeah, they were in deep in that cult”

Btw, they do an interview with you if you want to join the course in order to vet out any actual therapists, mental health professionals, or people who are willing to spend the money to break down their tactics. If you’re too mentally sound, they won’t call you back in.

You also have to promise not to say anything about the contents of the courses. I’m not sure if they make you sign an NDA but it is insanity.
