Cooking and food-related incidents

 * Mysta is notorious for his unusual and questionable experiences and decisions in cooking and food in general.
 * The earliest case is when he shared that he had expired milk in his fridge, which became yellow.
 * He additionally asked, "Why do people keeping saying it’s cheese? Does cheese come from milk?".
 * The most infamous is when he tweeted, "who tf washes rice??? LMAOOOOOOOOO", which resulted in an uproar from his audience and NIJISANJI members from various branches.
 * He later learned that not washing his rice was very unrecommended and unpreferable, and now washes his rice.
 * He thought that to make fried rice, you have to literally fry the rice in a frying pan. This resulted in the rice going crunchy and hard.
 * Mysta's stories were noticed by comedian Nigel Ng, better known by his online persona Uncle Roger.
 * The first time was when Mysta mentioned Gordon Ramsay on Twitter asking if it was okay to his rice. Uncle Roger responded with, "Is it alright to take a dump without wiping?"
 * The second was when a fan shared a clip of Mysta sharing his story of the time he made fried rice. He replied, "Someone tell me who is this @Mysta_Rias and why is he torturing me like this???".
 * One time he made rice, but forgot about it for two months. When he decided to make rice again, he found thousands of maggots in his rice cooker.
 * He mistakenly ate mold on his desk thinking it was hardened chocolate.
 * When he made mashed potatoes he didn't wash the potatoes because he thought it wasn't neccessary since he boiled them in water.
 * He didn't clean his drink bottle properly, with the dishwashing liquid still being in the bottle. His juice tasted like soap, and thinking that the soapy taste would go away if he kept drinking it, he drank half of his drink.
