Asian cuisine has been growing popular throughout the years. You probably even go eat take out or buy sushi every week or so. However, sometimes you don't want to just buy them, you want to make it yourself. Lucky for you there are many Youtube channels that teach you how to cook famous dishes. Just by watching the videos will be enough to make your mouth water. Here are some Asian channels you should check out.

Cooking With Dog

-Cooking with Dog has been on Youtube for about 10 years. It stars Francis the dog (host of the dog) and the chef. Francis (voiced over by a male) tells you the instructions and ingredients you will need for each dish while the Chef cooks it. Sadly, Francis died on November; however, the show keeps running. The chef now cooks with a picture of Francis by her side.

Artists to Listen to (Especially if you're starting out)

Music such as K-Pop has become popular nowadays that you literally can't go anywhere without hearing someone listening to a certain K-pop song in a corner. Now, say you want to start listening to it as well, but you don't know where to start. Most people (myself included) would probably recommend groups such as BTS, EXO or GOT7, but what if you want to listen to artists from places like China or Japan? Well you've come to the right place. Here's a list of people I would recommend to my friends if they ever wanted to listen to an Asian artist they've haven't heard before or they're simply just interested in getting started on listening to them. NOTE: I will not go into depth into each artist since this is just a list of artists, however if you guys want, I can and will start writing a short profile of the groups with the members. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy listening to these talented people Nya :3

Fighter of the Destiny : Review

On April 17, 2017, a Chinese drama by the name of “Fighter of the Destiny” was released. With such huge names in the entertainment industry such as Lu Han, Janice Wu along with Joseph Zeng, the show has been a major hit not just in China, but around the world. Based on the novel of the same name by Mao Ni, the show is about a 19 year old Taoist boy who travels to a major city in hopes of changing his fate with an incurable disease. Along the way, he finds a woman whom he had fallen in love with since they were children. Filled with many laughs and tears, this series is captivating in every way possible.

In my opinion, the story was interesting since it gives you a view on things not only in Chen Changsheng’s (main character) point of view, but in everyone else’s as well. It also gives you a chance to fall in love or hate every single one of them in such a short amount of time. It is enough to send you into a roller coaster of emotions. The special effects in this drama are outstanding. However, there were things that I didn’t exactly like throughout the series was that in some cases, you had to wait for a single detail to happen and the ending wasn’t exactly satisfying since there were still so many events that haven’t quite happened yet (though there are supposedly 4 more episodes left to be shown, the main story has already ended).

Long story short, I give this drama 4 pairs of paws out of five. 🐾🐾🐾🐾
