It's all very corny.

Fall semester started and I haven't really found many chances to cook something good and nice.

Just as an update, I'm promoting.. CORNS today! Do you all know that Illinois is famous for.. corns? XD When I decided that I'm going to study in the U of I, I've accepted and resigned to the fate that I would be surrounded by corns and corns and more corns.

Clearly, I was mistaken. :) There are plenty of cornfields around, but we do have malls and cinemas and plenty (*cough*) of stuff to do around here besides eating corns. XD

But! I've always been a fan of corns and today, I've fallen even deeper in love with the sweet corn in Illinois.



THIS. This is the BEST thing on earth.

Me and several other Malaysian peeps went for this Sweet Corn Festival today (because I thought it would be interesting to see what they have to offer, and being in Illinois, how can I not see a Corn Festival?) and they were selling two of this for 1 USD! Is that cheap or what!

The first bite brought me to heaven. Haha! But really, it was heavenly. It was literally dripping with butter, but it was good. It was so sweet that I wouldn't have it with salt and pepper at all. It was very very juicy too! This is really the best corn I have ever tasted. :D

We had at least two each. Our MaSA president decided to have 4. Shows just how incredibly good it is. :)

So next time you come to Illinois, remember to buy back some of our sweet corn! It's definitely one thing not to be missed!


I am CORNY!
