WANKO SOBA at Publika! nomnomnom*

Updated here!
 ________________________________________________________________________
Erm...Anyone wanna join me for this? *hides*  
Crystal asked me to join cause I submitted my speech late for this. So it's kinda my fault she is now alone in the finalist, giving the speech on stage in 9 days time instead of me and her together. Super high optimism level lor! Like mine will be confirm chosen mehhhhh *laughs*
 

 

Wanko Soba! Basically it's buckwheat noodles (soba) , a local cuisine of Iwate, served about a mouthful of noodles in a bowl. As soon as you finished it, a server will keep refilling it with another mouthful of noodles and will keep on doing it on repeat mode, and you will be eating on repeat mode till you cry YAMETEEEE!!! (okay, am kidding! don't say that if you are really joining! hahah I don't know if that is proper to do so!)

It's the FIRST ever in Malaysia and I am definitely looking forward to see it with my own eyes (not on youtube) as an audience....haha unless got some kind soul wanna jump onto the rocky boat of eating soba with me... *shiny eyes*

I guess it would be a good day to bring my dad since it's his birthday and he loves Japan...and...hmmm* maybe dad should join.....hmmm* maybe we can join as a family instead ....*brainwash him and baby brother later ngekngek*

Just Pie - In the Cold

 

Passed by Just Pie quite a few times in MidValley. Never crossed my mind to try it..just because. But if it was "JUST TARTS"...gonna be a whole different story altogether! :D yums*

Today, mom decided to just drop by...well..just because too. O_O next thing I knew, mom asked if she can buy the frozen pies cause she ain't gonna wait 30 minutes for the pies to be baked. Surprisingly the staff said "Yes." and what more, because they were frozen and it's kinda like D.I.Y to bake them, each was RM1.40 cheaper.

The lady was so nice to even throw in 2 curry puffs (cause someone ordered and backed out at the last minute) and extra 2 small pies FOR FREE O_O (have i ever mentioned my mom has gotten free brownies and extra cake from TGIF before?!...)

Nestle in my heart

Everyone seems to have the memory of chasing a Milo truck or somewhat for the Milo. Honestly I have never seen a Milo truck till I was ...old enough to know not to run towards it and actually line up at the Milo truck. That did not stop me from lining up 3 times though! (Surprisingly my first time was at Urbanscapes. Not very nostalgic huh?) At one point I had a cup on each my hand. I decided to be 'kiasu' and drank all I could because I can't believe what I have been missin' out since the last decade or so!! Wathemilotastedamngoodleh.

Milo always trigger different kinds of memories for me. One of them was the times that I was sick. Being in a private school where food was provided for, you are obliged to finish your food and the teacher actually inspects your plate-_- meh. Food is only exchanged for Milo and biscuits when you are sick. The feeling of eating soggy biscuits.. Leaving it halfway through the Milo. Leaving it long enough for the biscuit to be soggy but not too soggy for it will break and fall into the Milo! And finishing up the Milo in one gulp later. I have always wondered why was it in a small cup. So unsatisfactory! I also can't count the amount of times I have lied that I wasn't well just to get those heavenly Milo with biscuits..ops* :P

Funnily it was the same at home. Milo was being made only when we are sick when half the people out there usually drink it in the morning as breakfast for energy , sometimes dunk with Kellogg's.(Let's not talk about how my brother and I would fight over Koko Krunch-_- it was WAR!) Whenever we are sick in bed, upon waking there would be a cup of warm Milo by our bedside. It was mom's way of showing love when we were young being away most of the time climbing the corporate ladder. Suddenly Milo wasn't just a lovely chocolate drink that I drank, it was like the magic medicine filled with love that cures it all.

As I grew older, Milo became a staple in diet. I found a whole new sinful way to eat it. By the spoonful out of the can. Words can't describe how awesome it is! Really! People nowadays must have known it too, with all the Milo dinosaur drinks going around at mamaks! The more awesome thing is to mix it with cold milk. Just dump a spoonful into cold milk, stir a 'lil and you will get a piece of heaven in your mouth....*_*

Milo practically works with anything! My dad drinks it with yoghurt every weekend without fail. (I KNOW!O_O I meant bout the yoghurt part) I can't for my life imagine if there would be no Milo one day. It's definitely a drink to be carried down more many more generations.


p.s// does anyone's grandma still keep their money in Milo tins?! I was shock to see my grandma still does!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

After chomping on Garett Popcorn with brother bear, (which is really yums! but omaigoose, what's with the price?? but me and brother bear watched a documentary once on what great lengths they do to choose the best corn to make good popcorns and yea....not easy at all) I asked him to proceed for dinner downstairs with me.

"Huh? Don't want la...."

"Huh?? Why ne? It's almost dinner time anyway!" *stares at 7.15pm clock*

"Eat sweet 'dy then cannot eat salty.. Gotta rest the tongue..."

At that moment, Mom came from behind, grabbed a bunch of popcorn and said,

"Yes meh? But it's like eat sweet 'dy, feel like eating salty. Then eat salty 'dy feel like eating sweet stuffs...you know? Isn't it like tat??"

"Yaya! Just like mummy said! Not meh??"

"..... Monsters-_-...Fat Monsters.."

LOL :P
