Todays Foodie Tip: Beef Brisket and Ramen by Wagamama

“First time to try Korean barbecue beef brisket served with ramen noodles. The noodles are perfectly cooked and submerged in a flavorful and rich soup base (not salty!) Adding more color to it is the menma, kimchi, and a half egg toppings then garnished with spring onions, coriander, and a drizzle of chili oil.”

My verdict: DO TRY

P.S. As your BFF I like to keep it real….

… by sharing cheesy quotes on happiness & gratitude….

… which teach a mindset that transformed my life for the better…

… stoicism. So here’s your cheesy quote:

"Happiness is like cheese—it’s best when shared, melts away your worries, and adds flavor to life." 🧀😊

And to put a cherry on top, I ask you to choose, my dear BFF:

I promise to be positive this week. Make a positive life choice and spread it to everyone in your vicinity.
