Since the very first time Celine brought me there, Kyotofu has become my favorite afternoon hideout. Walk there almost every week to have the "chef’s omekase." The tea infused rice and home made silken tofu are out of this world…
Have been making tofu at home since, haven’t mastered the texture just quite yet, but don’t make me show you all the tools and different kinds of tofu coagulators I have… Sometimes I think my quest for the ultimate truth in everything is quite insane but I can’t tell you what fun it is in the process 
The additional bonus is the puppy shop across the street, where I often linger and fantasize about going home with a pug. A few weeks ago, my attention was taken away from a pug puppy by a couple beautiful looking tiny creatures, they were Long Hair Chihuahuas, I was told. Found myself reading about them on internet for the days to come, can’t quite get over them.
Went into the shop again this afternoon before my lunch, this time the shopkeeper VERY wisely let out a new puppy for me to hold in the tiny secluded area for a very long while… I left the place mesmerized… no, I can’t have a dog, the second I start performing again, I will not be able to take care of a dog… I repeated saying that to myself…
Googgling everything about the breed on my iPhone the whole time I was having my usual at Kyotofu… Left the restaurant, involuntarily walked back to the shop, home with this gorgeous Long Hair Chihuahua wrapped in my sweater in this craziest windy cold day.
There, I officially ended my unofficial affair with the pugs…
I name her HuaHua — she is a Chi-HuaHua, and she is a DOLL (what huahua happens to mean in Chinese )
HuaHua, Long Hair Chihuahua, born 12/20/2007, weighing 1.5 pound, endearingly fit in my small palm. She is calm, happy, and secure. She looks like a tiny alien chasing my 14 pounds big blue boys around
