Wasabi Fusion in Beckley

Earlier this week, I went to a not-so-new-but-new-enough restaurant near me: Wasabi Fusion.

Anyone who truly knows me knows that one of my favourite types of food is Asian cuisine, whether it's Chinese, Japanese or Thai I'm always down for food and Wasabi Fusion offers just that.

Information if you're ever in the area

First of all, this restaurant had guts opening at relatively the same time as Golden Corral (which I haven't been to yet). But despite opening the same time as a major restaurant chain that's almost a hop, skip, and jump away from their doors, Wasabi has a major advantage that Corral doesn't: they're located on the same strip as Valley College, and is WELL easier to get to for all you in-town WVU students.

While I neglected to get pictures of their interior, I can tell you this: It's very clean. Like, SUPER clean. It's so clean that I would be comfortable eating my food straight off the table (not really, but you get my point). Their interior decor-wise is very unique, albeit a bit confusing.

Interior and location aside, I'll just start talking turkey, and by turkey, I, of course, mean Asian food.

Notice how it's already half eaten because yo...

 For your starter, you can get a soup or salad, and I started with a simple salad with a sesame-like dressing (pictured above half-eaten), and I was quite impressed. If you had to consider this a part of your meal, this would be the appetizer, and it wasn't too big (imagine a small soup bowl), but it was big enough to really get my stomach growling!

Yes please, thank you very much!

By the time you've finished your "appetizer", your food is sitting in front of you in all of its steamy goodness. Pictured above is the chicken udon, which has white meat chicken, thick udon noodles, green peppers, onions, and broccoli. As far as this dish, the onions and peppers didn't make that much sense to me paired with the broccoli, but in the end, it was still a very enjoyable meal. Now, this serving is your main, so it's waaaaayyyy bigger than your app, and it's enough to fill you up and then some!

Nom nom nom!

Overall, this restaurant has some real potential. It's next to a college, it's good, handmade food, and if we're talking price, then it's spot on - for me to eat there with my mum and dad is well cheaper than going to a fast food joint like Chick-fil-A or McDonald's. Well done, Wasabi Fusion!

A Rather Daring December: What I Want to Accomplish in 31 Days or Less

If there's one thing that I absolutely love, it's watching people better themselves. Something about the pure wholesome idea of someone wanting to become a more beautiful flower gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside, so I recently began thinking to myself: How can I become the better version of me? Simple: by going all natural! Well not all, but mostly!


1. Hair
Honesty time, my natural hair is curly, and I mean curly. It's both a blessing and a curse really, but one I am more than happy to carry. So I gathered all of my hair straighteners (all two of them) and told my mum to hide them away! I want to give my hair the proper time it needs to relax (without all of the relaxers), and hopefully, in January it will thank me!

2. Water!!!

It's pretty much a given that we're going to have a ton of water in the form of snow sometime, but with dogs that have to go to the bathroom, I'm not a huge fan of eating any snow that falls around my house. That being said, I have a ton of those plastic bottles that you can buy at pretty much any retail store, and I know without a doubt that I need to drink more water than I am now, so that's exactly what I aim to do.

3. Skin care

If there are two things I pride myself on, it's my love of video games and my skin. I have pretty skin. It took me a long time to come to terms with my skin colour, and I don't plan on letting something like acne or sun spots dull my sparkle! So I plan on taking care of my skin so I don't have too many wrinkles by the time I'm 22...

Aaand that's pretty much it - nothing much else! I believe that all great things start as baby steps, so baby steps I shall take! I hope that this inspires you to take the steps to become your best self, regardless of the season, month, year, or reason. See you all next time!

How I like my Coffee!

Hey guys! My name is Marzelen, and I used to have a blog called "The Adult World with Marzipan!"

Now I know what you might be thinking: why on Earth would I go through a re-branding like this just out of the blue?! Well, I'll tell you why: Put simply, I got tired! I like to think I know what I'm doing in life, but let's be real, I'm twenty years old, Aka, NO IDEA AT ALL, but if there's one thing I know, it's that I love food, eating out, making food, and most of all: coffee.

I like my coffee sweet, but not too sweet. I love a delicate balance of flavour, sweet, and bitter. Basically, I'm a picky coffee drinker (Starbucks does it really well though)...

And who knows, maybe I'll post other things once in a while. Makeup? Workout? Home stuff? The possibilities are endless!
So sit back with your favourite cup of [insert choice of beverage here] and enjoy any of my raving and ranting about all things food, fun, and coffee!
