As a recent guest host on The Ellen Showβfeaturing Kelly Rowland and Angelica Ross as his guestsβKalen Allen has proven that he really can do it all. Last year, he made his acting debut in Seth Rogenβs An American Pickle,Β released a Christmas album, and earlier this year, became a judge on the baking competition series Cakealikes. As a jack of all trades, it only made sense that Allen give us his opinions on a bunch of topics at semi-randomβfrom edibles to The Cheesecake Factory.
βββ
Birth Charts
I am a firm believer in astrology, and maybe thatβs just because when I scroll through Instagram and I go through the Capricorn posts, Iβm like, βOh yeah, thatβs spot on.β Iβm sure a lot of people probably say that itβs rigged somehow, but I firmly believe in it and it helps me figure out who I am and why I am the way that I am and how I operate. So Capricorn is the main one, and then my rising is Scorpio and my moon is in Gemini.
βββ
The Cheesecake Factory
Oh, now see, this was set upβyou already know how I feel about The Cheesecake Factory because that brown bread is everything. When the waiter comes, Iβll say, just give me the brown bread. I donβt know why people were on Twitter last week talking about how Cheesecake Factory is beneath them. That is not true. The last time I was at Cheesecake Factory, you know who was there? Tyra Banks. Tyra Banks can go to Cheesecake Factory. Everybody knows that when they were in high school and when they would go to prom, when you left prom, where did you go? Cheesecake Factory. But everybody wants to be bougie all of a sudden. And then also, they have this pineapple cherry limeade. Baby, itβll treat you right. Mmhmm. But they donβt give refills, so I have to tell them to bring me two at a time.
βββ
New York City vs. Los Angeles
New York City any day over Los Angeles. There is a different energy about that city, itβs timeless. You just feel like you can do anything when you are in New York. That energy can not be matched. And everybody is so independent; they mind they own business and they have a sense of authenticity and realness that can not be duplicated here in L.A. My favorite place to travel is Barcelona. Oh, yes. I canβt wait to go back to Spain. Mainly because the men like me there, and Iβm always looking for a potential husband. I definitely need to go back to Spain to find me a man and bring him back. Like, maybe you need a green card or something.
βββ
Marvel
So I started watching the Marvel films during the pandemic, and Iβm obsessed. I love WandaVision. Thatβs the best TV Iβve seen in a long time. Now Iβm watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I love that too, because baby, this Captain Americaβ¦ they need to go ahead and kill him. Iβm tired of him. I would have to say that the one Marvel movie that I was absolutely hooked on was Dr. Strange, which was so interesting because it came out when I was working for AMC theaters in Philadelphia. I couldβve gone and seen the movie, but I was just like, βEh, Iβm not in superhero movies.β But baby, when I watched the movie, I was hooked.
Yeah, Iβm going to watch it. Thatβs another thing that I started watching during the pandemic. I had never seen Sex and the City. I also watched the movie, and I was obsessed. Iβm definitely going to watch the reboot, and I just hope that they bring in some diversity. If they need a character, I can definitely come in and play a role. I love Carrie. I donβt necessarily think that Iβm specifically one of the characters. I think Iβm a little bit of each one of them.
βββ
Hosting The Ellen Show
Oh, I absolutely loved it, it was the first time in my life that I felt like I did something. I was like, βThis is what Iβm supposed to be doing and this feels completely right.β We had a virtual audience, which was great, but I wouldβve loved to be able to look out into the audience and see the faces and feel the energy. I think if I would have had that element, then the show wouldβve been even 10 times better. Now Iβve been talking about wanting my own talk show. I want a hybrid between Ellen and Oprah. I know that Oprah took a more journalistic approach, and so Iβve even been thinking about possibly applying to NYUβs online masterβs journalism program.
βββ
Edibles
Okay, so I did my first edible a couple of weeks ago after going to Aspen. And baby, I can tell you this, never again. First of all, I was literally going crazy, and it was to the point where I was telling my friend Tori, βPlease search how to get rid of a high.β It was miserable. I was so tired, my mouth was dry, I felt like I was going to choke and die. I hated it. It was a capsule. Wouldnβt recommend it.
βββ
Lil Nas X
I think Lil Nas X is doing something that is going to be very game-changing. As far as Black queer artists within the music industry, because there is little to none. I think that Lil Nas using his platform to make such a statement and to come out so authentically and so unapologetically is going to help other people to be more accepting of queer artists who also express that same individuality and expression.
βββ
Mariah Carey
Oh, everybody knows that Iβm a lamb. Love her dearly. I think she is an amazing songwriter and I think sheβs an absolute icon. When it comes to favorite songs, I donβt even know if I can pick one specifically, but if I did, it would have to be βOutside,β which is from the Butterfly album. And with that, I say that Butterfly is her best album. I read Mariahβs book and it turns out that Butterfly was actually the first album that she was able to have a lot more creative control on her own, outside of Tommy Mottola, and I was like, βSee?!β Her fingers just needed to be unlocked.
βββ
Blockbuster
I am happy that there is one left in the world. I came across this tweet from Blockbuster and they were talking about Netflix, but trying to downplay them. And I was like, βWell sweetheart, look, when you do clownery, the clown comes back to bite, because where you at now?β Now you only got one remaining. But I remember going to Blockbuster as a kid, I remember going to Hollywood Video. I do miss the experience. But I also think itβs great that if Iβm sitting at home, I can find my favorite movie and watch it from home.
βββ
Recent Obsessions
Let me think. Iβve been binge-watching The Nanny. Iβve really been in my nostalgic bag. Iβve been watching Thatβs So Raven. Iβm excited about this Proud Family reboot. I Iβve really been starting to read a lot more, right now I am reading Michelle Williamsβs book from Destinyβs Child, which is coming out soon, so I have an advanced reading copy. Quinta Brunson, who really pioneered and started what is going viral on the internet, has a new book, and so Iβve been reading that as well. Iβve really been in my intellectual bag.
Angku kuih are traditionally made with sweet potato (top left corner). At Kuih Cafe, theyβre also flavored with pandan and ube. Photo: Adam Friedlander
Other kuih may be made with steamed sago, a starch that comes from palm trees, or grated or steamed cassava. New items are regularly introduced, like hae bee hiam, a savory butter cookie made with blended chili-dried shrimp paste. Other butter cookies, made savory with scallion or sweet with pineapple compote, are offered as well. While some of the cityβs other Malaysian restaurants offer kuih, including the nearby Kopitiam and Little House in Queens and Brooklyn, none specialize in kuih or offer such a variety.
βAll the Malaysian people in New York have been talking about this place,β says Auria Abraham, who runs the condiment company Auriaβs Malaysian Kitchen. Over kuih one afternoon, Abraham shared some DMs sheβs received from others asking if sheβd gone, or telling her she needs to. βI can die now,β one person wrote alongside a picture of a pandan-flavored angku kuih, traditionally a tortoise-shelled cake made of glutinous rice flour thatβs made red by sweet potato. βIt has been hard to find Malaysian food, especially in this category,β Abraham says. While Kuih Cafeβs owners are Malaysian, Abraham notes that many kuih can be found around Southeast Asia, βPeople want to claim things are theirs, but especially in Southeast Asia we have to be very careful about that,β she says.

The team chose Chinatown in part because Ganβs customers had found it inconvenient to pick up from where she lived in Queens. (βEveryone goes to Chinatown anyway,β Lim says.) That is, until the coronavirus pandemic, which caused sales to plummet in the neighborhood earlier than elsewhere, and later prompted the restaurant shutdown. βIt was pretty much managing the day-to-day process of producing and selling, and then 30 days later we had to close,β Lim says. βThere was really no time to reflect on anything at all.β
In some ways, Lim says they were lucky, because the lockdown forced them to rework their menu. Before, they had sold individual kuih, and there are always slices of cakes available. After the shutdown, they pared down the selection of kuih, offering only a couple a week, and changing it weekly. βIt was more out of necessity than actual strategy or thinking. But obviously it fits us well and weβll continue that,β he adds. βThe positive side is it brings people back every week because thereβs something different.β

Back in Malaysia, Abraham says, kuih are a specialty that require an expertise in steaming and specialized equipment. Doing things traditionally means spending time pounding and squeezing juice out of pandan, and grating cassava. βItβs very laborious, painstaking work,β Abraham explains, giving angku kuih, which are made using a wooden mold that gets sticky, as one example. She also points to kuih lapis, a cute layer cake thatβs made from rice flour turned shades of pink. βItβs not easy to make those layers. Thereβs not a machine that does it, thereβs a person that does it,β she says. βBecause each piece is so intricate and it takes so long to produce these pieces they donβt really make anything else.β
Fans of Kuih Cafe know to look for their favorites, and things theyβve had a hard time finding in New York, regularly. Hai-Li Kong goes every other week, usually when sheβs visiting her sister nearby.Β βIβm not there every weekend,β she says, but βIβll make a point to go there whenever Iβm in Chinatown.β Sheβs always on the lookout for one special treat: βI actually havenβt tried the thing Iβm most curious and nostalgic about, which is the angku kuih,β she says. βMy mom used to make them every Mid-Autumn Festival, but I have yet to have it because every time I get there itβs too late.β
When Kong was growing up, kuih were a special-occasion food, typically something sheβd have when she visited family in Singapore. In particular, angku kuih created a sense of belonging for her, including during the time she visited her momβs hometown. βI was just in the city and I didnβt speak Chinese very well and everything felt so crazy and foreign to me, and I was like how can I feel so out of place in a place that should be like my hometown in a way?β she recalls. βAnd then I saw this cake and I was like, Oh, I know this cake, and I can call it by its name, and point to it, and communicate with the shop owner β that was pretty powerful for me.β

i put "best day ever" from spongebob over a disaster in hollywood
Fight me Fox and Nickelodeon I don’t give TWO AND A HALF MAYONAISSE COVERED WOODEN FOUR FOOT VIOLIN STICKS that you copyright claimed me π€π€
This is from “The day after tomorrow”
CringeCakes does not have ownership of or responsibility for “the best day ever” song from Spongebob Squarepants by Nickelodeon, or “The Day After Tomorrow” from Fox Media
She continuedΒ by giving insight into the range of responses she’s gotten from those close to her.Β “I had friends basically tell me they would lose respect for me,” Jana said about reaction to herΒ moving on from the marriage. “And those were the friends that were always like, ‘We would love you and support you no matter what.'”
Jana explained that “a few days before things came to light,” she was under the impression the relationship was still going strong.Β
“I am the weakest I’ve ever been,” she shared. “I went to my therapist a few weeks ago and being like, ‘Fine, I’ll live this life. I don’t want to break up my family.’ My whole thing is like, I didn’t want this for the kids. I’ve stayed for my kids, even when other things happened.”
Jana described a heartfelt conversation between the former couple that took place “a couple weeks prior” to the split. “He swore on his sobriety there was nothing,” she said. “Most of my sadness comes from my kids because they didn’t deserve this, they didn’t ask for this. And also the dream of what I thought it was going to be and who I thought I was working with.”Β
The star concluded the episode byΒ expressing appreciation forΒ fansΒ who’ve beenΒ along this road with her. “IΒ promise you every week will not be a sob show,” she said. “We’ll figure this out together. We’re on this journey together.”Β
βDo you want me?β βLike the fucking air I breathe.β
SQUEEEE! I really loved this book! It was heartfelt, romantic and full of feels!
Iβve loved Corinne Michaelsβ books for years because they often have such a good balance of angsty romance and family connections and this book was no exception. In fact, it actually had a very family-centric storyline and that was a huge reason why I enjoyed it so much.
Fifteen years ago, I fell for Jack OβDonnell. I was just a girl, but I knew my brotherβs best friend was the only man Iβd ever love. On my eighteenth birthday, when I asked him to kiss me, I never imagined it would change my life so completely. I gave Jack everything that night. In order to move on, we had to go our separate ways and pretend like nothing happenedβ¦ as though it wasnβt the greatest moment of my life. But even that wasnβt as heartbreaking as the secret we were forced to keep. Iβve tried not to think about how much I still love him. How I long to be back in his strong arms or the way his hazel eyes make my heart race. Until he kisses me again. And this time thereβs no turning back. This time I know what it means. We belong together and thereβs no use denying it any longer. But our feelings arenβt the only thing that wonβt stay buried, our past resurfaces and threatens to destroy our second chance at happiness. When our love is tested once again, will we be strong enough to stand together?
The story centers around a couple who fell in love young and got pregnant, but their family forced them to give their baby up for adoption and circumstances kept them apart for many years. Around the time the book starts, an unexpected tragedy brings their child back into their lives while giving them the second chance at a love they were denied so many years ago.
My only complaint about this book was a character flaw (more so of the hero than the heroine) that he got past throughout the course of the book but of being sooo worried and caring so much about what other people thought of their choices. Like omg, be an adult already. But I did appreciate that this was something they grew past.
I loved seeing their atypical family form bonds and heal. I also really loved that at the end of the day, everyone really was trying to do the right thing and that all decisions, right or wrong, came from a place of love and good intentions.
You can absolutely read this as a standalone, but it is the second standalone in a series of standalones. Iβve read the first one Return to Us (Read my Review) and loved it so I would recommend starting there if you can just because theyβre both great reads. And Iβm already looking forward to the next in this series.
If youβre looking for an angsty, addictive romance with heart-warming feels, this is it!
Rating: 4.5 stars. Contemporary Adult Romance, can standalone.
