BEYOND: Two Souls

一天左右即可通关的电影化游戏。基本上就是照着提示按按QTE,然后就是当互动电影看了。十分女性向。

女主角是Ellen Page配音的,长得也很像Ellen Page。事实上我觉得The Last of Us里面女主也很像。。

故事还不错。迅速买入玩完然后trade in还是挺值的。

纽约拉面店简评

以下评分纯凭个人口味,排序随机。由面,汤,料三项评分,每项满分五分。

Ippudo 一风堂
面4,汤5,料4。一风堂最好吃的还是pork bun。。汤头的味道比较重很多人不喜欢,我个人比较喜欢。尤其有一段时间的special是焦味噌非常赞。味噌面的面很不错。一风堂座位很多,但排队也不是闹着玩的。曾经半夜11点公司一帮人过去居然还排了40分钟。但如果中午12点左右一两个人溜过去还是很容易找到位子的。

Jinya 阵
面4,汤5,料4。西村新开的一家,从面到汤到肉味道都跟一风堂超级像。。由于是后来者于是减半分,但是他们的面里面是一整只溏心蛋于是加半分,就跟一风堂给一样的分好了。

Totto 鸟人
面4,汤5,料4。名气跟一风堂相当甚至更大的一家店。点过一次味噌觉得很一般,又点过一次鸡汤面觉得不错。前面的分数是按照鸡汤面打的。味道比较中正,不像一风堂那么重,可能因为这点所以更多中国人喜欢。座位很少,排队比一风堂还恐怖。

Misoya 味噌屋
面4,汤4.5,料3.5。东村一家并不是很火的味噌为主的拉面,有三种味噌。由于个人比较喜欢味噌面所以觉得这家不错,排队也不太久。

Rockmeisha 六名社
面3,汤3,料4。西村一个居酒屋。拉面只有一个选项。跟常见的豚骨拉面的汤很不一样,味道相当清淡。口味轻的人可以考虑,xw表示这是她在纽约最喜欢的面。不过这家店别的菜貌似都不错。

Terakawa 寺川
面4,汤4,料3。离上班的地方很近于是很经常来吃。算是相当不错的一家,只是口味偏重。个人喜欢这家的味噌面,以及黑色汤头的Mayo面也不错是特色。UpperEast那边有一家火影拉面貌似算是姊妹分店,不过菜单和味道都略不同。

Takumi 匠
面4,汤3,料3。中午有时候会去University Pl上的那家吃,个人感觉一般。特色是有蘸面,但料实在一般般。

Minca
经常出现在纽约十大拉面列表里面的一家,东村很东边。吃过一次没什么感觉。。不做评价了。

Setagaya
面3,汤3,料3。东村核心地带的一家,一般般,算是合格水平。但旁边就是Misoya于是没有太多理由来这家。

Ganso 元祖
面4,汤3,料3.5。由于我住在Brooklyn所以也去过一些Brooklyn比较有名的。这家在Brooklyn Downtown,比较西化,但面的味道还不错。

Chuko
面4,汤4,料4。Brooklyn的又一家有名的拉面店。很火爆。在这儿吃过一次special是用cheese和bacon拌的,很雷。。但是他们的正常的拉面就还很不错。

——-以下列举几个纽约之外的拉面店作为参考—–

Ramen Dojo
面4,汤4,料3.5。San Mateo downtown。很好,放在纽约的店里肯定也是中上水平。

无敌家
面2,汤2,料3。北京建外SOHO那家。总的来说就是感觉不对劲,味道有些假。

金龙
面5,汤5,料4.5。大阪。可能是我第一次吃到很正的日式拉面。。当时是非常非常震惊的感觉。

四天王
面4,汤5,料5。大阪。面里的叉烧入口即化,以后再也没吃到过类似的。

 

California Nostalgia

Just back from a 2-week biz trip in Cali. Last time I stayed in SF and took Caltrain to work in San Mateo, but this time I chose to stay in San Mateo at a much better price and rented a car. I feel this is a much nicer solution for me since I don’t really need the nightlife in the city but the convenience of driving around really helped.

Somehow this trip turned out to carry a nostalgic theme. It started with a meet with my mentor in Bosch 6 years ago. I was an intern at that time and lived in Palo Alto for half a year. She works in Apple now and I got to visit the famous Infinite Loop. In the following days I visited a lot of places I enjoyed before: sunset view in Half Moon Bay beach which I missed last time; a 10-mile trail in Big Basin Redwoods State Park which @riki and I visited in a super foggy day before; Stanford campus which I never really toured before (I blame you @riki); and my old address in Palo Alto, glad to see the big pine is still there  :)

OK this got a bit over sensational but I feel I basically re-visited most of these places in bay area already. Need to figure out some new ones next time :)

Ramen Burger

So I finally got a taste of this recent fad – Ramen Burger. Is it recent? It has been around for months but I guess not many people out of NYC heard of it. Is it a fad? New Yorkers seem incredibly interested in any food fusion, even if it’s literally “fusion”, so first Cronut and now this. The hungry marketing method has been pretty successful so far and the passion of hundreds of foodies who can get up in Sat morning and join the line for a bite was contiguous.

 

Been there, done that #ramenburger

A photo posted by Wei Wei (@weiwei9) on

How does it taste? This is the most asked question I got after posting this photo. It’s definitely not bad, which partially explains why it becomes popular. The ramen buns were pre-made and grilled a bit on the spot. The noodles in the buns are soft and hydrated, but somehow fixed in that shape so they don’t fall apart. It tastes a little bit like instant noodles, I guess some similar techniques in instant noodles are used here to keep the shape. The beef part is not very special but just normal beef burger, with some fresh green vegetables. The sauce used in ramen burger is pretty strong and savory. So the sauce brings most flavors, the ramen bun provides a quite special taste and the beef burger makes Americans happy.

How to Get a Ramen Burger?

The current information (which may outdate very fast) is you need to go to the Smorgasburg at Williamsburg on Saturday morning. It opens at 11AM and the Ramen Burger only sells about 300 per day. One person can only buy one burger. So your best bet is to arrive there before 11:15 to secure one and avoid long lines. Also check their official site for news and updates, sometimes it’s served out of Smorgasburg too.

 

Badland

逼格出乎意料的高的一个游戏。。限免的时候随手下载的,后来注意到还上过App Store的编辑游戏推荐。

初看有点像暗黑画风的locoroco,各种物理引擎的要素还蛮丰富于是可以当休闲游戏玩下去。但玩着玩着就会发现这游戏有的地方挺难的,有的是操作方面,有的是解谜方面。操作手感比较独特但应该说还不错。checkpoint很密集,所以并不算太变态,比较难的地方多试几次有时候运气好就蒙过去了。

刚刚把Day 1的40关打完,诚意推荐。
