Daiso Japan ... all over the everywhere

Daiso Japan in IOI Mall Puchong

Daiso Japan is finally in Malaysia!!
I remember the 1st time Zionsys took me there to have a look, I ended up with a bag of stuff! Often grabbing some random stuff from Daiso Japan in Sg 'cos its only $2 !!! Reasonably priced, innit?

Its RM5 for everything in Daiso in KL. Still kinda reasonable to me as most of the products are Japan made. Cant compaint much la!

The Daiso shops all looked the same, selling almost the same products too

I saw on the leaflets there are other branches too, MidValley has one and the rest are in East Malaysia, I didnt keep the paper with me hence I cant be sure of where else in Msia ...

But guess what?! I found one in Macau too!!

This Daiso is very unique, multi storey! Sounds big huh, but its underground multi storey! I find it very amusing because u will be like walking in a mase when you are inside. Good concept too as u wont miss any parts of it.

Same as the usual Daisos but this one is a bit cramp. Still they have almost everything inside too!

Price arent fix for this outlet, but they price accordingly and they have a chart of price list on every floor that you can check before you buy.

I was about to take a shot of the price list but silly me didnt see the guy standing behind me checking stock, he stopped me from taking photos of it... but not knowing I have taken most of the shop too hehehe

I didnt know photography is not allowed in there too! No sign wor! (+.-")

~ ♥ I Wish You Love ♥ ~

Lisa Ono

♥ I Wish You Love ♥

I wish you blue bird in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss
But more than this
I wish you love

And in July lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
and more than wealth
I wish you love
♡♥♡
My breakin' heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
♥♡♥
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all
When snow flakes fall
I wish you love
When snow flakes fall
I wish you love
When snow flakes fall
I wish you love…….

Its the time of the year again! All girl gather for this special occasion ( its like almost once in every month ...) to celebrate, eat, drink, get drunk & have fun...

This time we picked Japanese. Read the review by CK Lam on her page and all girls decided to give it a shot. Indeed, good choice, WE LOVED IT! Esp the ice-creams :)

To avoid the jam, we went early. By the time we reached, its still early evening and just nice for me to snap a shot of the front of Isaribi.

While we were waiting for Wealth Planner Girl to get off her busy schedule, we couldnt resist the ice-cream menu and ordered 3, a scoop each for starters! Tummy... We had Black Sesame I-Scream! , Yuzu I-Scream! and BlueCheeze I-Scream!

*ssscccrrreeeaaammm*

1st time trying Dobin Mushi, loved it! It tastes so special that one tiny pot is just not enough!

We had beef tataki as well, superb!

Chawamushi was great! It even had a piece of Unagi on the top!! Oishiine~

Cha soba... cold noodles, I didnt really fancy cold noodles, but this one was good!

Here come the surprise !! Well, it was kinda expected when I saw the girls hinting each other and was "like dont know to take it out now or not" kinda face ... LOL but yea, it was sweet (^^,)

I did the cake cutting and Photography Girl took the chance to snap here snap there snap every where ... I personally like this shot!

Finally... a photo of Wealth Planner Girl, B'day Girl, Lingerie Girl and Photography Girl together. Taken by a not-so -pro photographer... well, he wasnt trained anyway, so ... let him off for this time!

We didnt have any drinks @Isaribi but just green tea. All of us could use a drink after so off we went to TGIF

As usual, my drink would be Mojito, but this one ... 4/10 is the best score I can give. ( in other words - LOUSY LAH~!) Lingerie Girl & Wealth Planner Girl shared their fav' drink - Margherita and Photography Girl had the same.

But it was enough for us ... we had a shot of Vodka each after that~

There after ... MORE FOOD!! Cos still feel like munching something while chatting and sipping our drink; but it was a silly joke about ordering this Nachos at TGIF . We were thinking it those Bottomless Nachos from Chillies, but this came like 20min after!? We had question marks on top of our head when it was served on our table! LOL
It was really what we expected, but we ate it anyway!

Before we were all gone and wasted, we took a nice photo together ... but Photography Girl was holding the cam!! OOoOopppsss ... Sowee Beeez

Thank you girls for the wonderful night out~
A night to rememeber, indeed...

Oyakodon ~ 親子丼

Oyakodon (親子丼, Oyakodon)...
literally "parent-and-child donburi", is a donburi, or Japanese rice bowl dish, in which chicken, egg, green onion, and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. The name of the dish, parent and child donburi, is a poetic reflection of the fact that both chicken and egg are used in the dish. In Japan, oyakodon is often served in soba restaurants and other traditional Japanese restaurants.

The donburi simmering sauce varies according to season, ingredient, region, and taste. A typical sauce might consist of dashi flavored with shoyu and mirin. Proportions vary, but usually there is three to four times as much dashi as shoyu and mirin. For oyakodon, Tsuji (1980) recommends dashi flavored with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar.

*Oyakodon - picture credit 私たちは秋田が世界に誇る

To make oyakodon, cut chicken and other ingredients into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1/4 cup simmering sauce in a small frying pan. Add chicken (and sliced yellow onion, if desired) and simmer until chicken is cooked. Then add green onions and other ingredients. When all ingredients are cooked, slowly pour 1-2 lightly beaten eggs evenly over the whole dish. When eggs are nearly cooked (edges set), slide the topping from the pan onto hot cooked rice served in an oversized bowl. The hot rice will finish cooking the eggs.


Several other Japanese dishes pun on the parent-and-child theme of oyakodon.
Tanindon (他人丼, Tanindon), literally "stranger bowl", is otherwise identical but replaces the chicken with beef.
A dish of salmon and roe served raw over rice is known as sake oyakodon (鮭親子丼, sake oyakodon).

Burger chain markets meat scent

Its character the Burger King is also seen reclining almost naked in front of a log fire with whipped cream.
