T-Reina Ashyra Rates Viewers’ Toothache Menus, Then Listens to a Ghost Story With Chat

LUMINA PROJECT — T-Reina Ashyra, a streamer with Lumina Project, spent a Thursday stream titled “Creating a Menu for People With a Toothache” going through dishes her viewers had sent in, then settled in to listen to a ghost story together with her audience. She said her own toothache had cleared up.

Earlier in the stream she talked about a Nang Noppamas pageant, the traditional beauty contest held around the Loy Krathong festival, which she is set to enter. She said she was put forward because no one else from her area was competing, that she would be happy with fifth place if it covered the cost of the costume rental, and that she expected it to be her last pageant. She was still choosing a Thai dress, with purple under consideration, and said she would report back afterward. Given a mock question about whether floating krathong harms rivers, she first joked about the answer in her head, then said the tradition has lasted a long time and should do little harm when held in designated areas.

“I’ll love shrimp forever.” — T-Reina Ashyra, on her favorite food

The menu segment started with an overnight oats recipe from a viewer, which she said she wanted to try once she had a proper jar. A tom yum congee, a mix of rice porridge and instant noodles, was one she said she had made herself after her dental work, and she advised adding meat for nutrition. She also read a steamed egg with tofu and minced pork, a shaved-ice recipe that listed fish balls among its ingredients, and a recipe that smoked water over maple wood and baked polar ice, which she greeted with disbelief before joking about ancient germs in melting ice.

The talk wandered from there. She described an afternoon with her cat on her lap and showed viewers a short video of it during the stream, named her favorite Thai shaved-ice and coconut ice cream toppings, and said she loves shrimp in every form.

At about the one-hour-ten mark she said she had little energy left and suggested listening to a story instead. She chose Kuen Long Doi (roughly, “Night Down the Mountain”), a ghost story from The Ghost Radio, over a longer one of 53 minutes, and had viewers start it at the same point as her. She muted the room audio so she could listen alone, gasped through the tense stretches and said she would not be visiting mountains at night. She kept the longer story for another day.

Before signing off she finished a round of a card game, closing with a jack to reach a rank she called Absolute King, and said she has been climbing the ranks. She then announced that the next day’s stream would be 1 in 8 billion, a website that simulates a life, in which she would find out what gender and name her next life gave her.
