Been nipponized in a more interesting way today. Had curry udon and went to Liang Court, the place for the Japanese this afternoon.
1st of all, i had my curry udon at Carrefour hypermart Suntec. Want to get some French dessert, but went to the snack bar after a walk. Their so called curry udon was a small bowl of udon boiled in boiling water, with a scoop of Japanese curry pour over the udon. $3 for a petite serving. Udon is nice, but easily breakable. Curry? Gravy is great, but the chicken bit sucks. Taste like Yeo's curry chicken, hard and small. = (
2ndly, went to Liang Court to visit Books Kinokuniya for a look, so as to write something in the request letter for a placement in the upcomin attachment. The thought of the visit to Liang Court: not the right time to go there now, cos this is the time Liang Court is undergoing a major upgrade, so it is pretty empty right now, except for Meidi-Ya, Books K n Starbucks?
Happen to saw the Japanese video shop located at the former Daimaru supermart. Now stationed outside Meidi-Ya Supermart, that was the shop where you can rent the latest Jap drama in their orignal language, but without subtitles. Remember: that's catered to the Japs. But that makes up only part of the total collection. Their main collection: Hollywood films with Japanese subtitles! And surprisingly, none of them comes in DVD format. All presented in VHS format, and just wonder: why are they watching VHS rite now, while the Japs has advanced to DVD's?
Some of their latest titles: (been out for a period, actually.) Collateral, Taking Lives, Human Stain, Kill Bill Vol 2, Lost in Translation, Taegukgi. In english with Jap subtitles. One of the few interesting 'sights' to be taken note of?
Meidi-Ya supermart remains about the same as the former Daimaru, but now it comes with a kiddy's corner, playing Japanese cartoons in japanese. Now playing: DORAEMON THE WONDER CAT! =)
