Jap Review

Other stuff we had in that mysterious jap restaurant.


Assorted Tempura



Crisp crisp crisp. It's hot!

Unagi Kabayaki



A bit of a disappointment cuz it doesn't give that i-don't-wanna-brush-my-teeth-after-eating effect. I would say this is not their usual standard. Could have been better!

Ikura sushi



Ikura is my absolute fav sushi. One unwritten rule about eating sushi. You have to eat that entire piece of sushi in one bite. If not you’re loserish. Don’t ask why because you’re just like a ballerina who cannot do split.

The Ikura Sushi……It’s like a terrorist had placed bombs on the rice. The roe were high pressured capsules of aphrodisia that burst upon contact with your tongue. Every single roe explodes like the pop rocks candy.

Whoa , it is orgasmic I tell you.

Imagine every roe brings you an orgasm. Fuiyoh! Hundreds of simultaneous orgasms!!

If only Ebiko sushi is as orgasmic!

You prolly die of orgasm OD.


Soft Shell Crab Temaki



There’re a lot of funny stories about soft shell crab handroll/maki. I once ordered this soft shell crab maki in another mysterious jap restaurant, when the waitress repeated the order I heard she say “One sap sap geh maki (means wet wet crab in Cantonese).

Personally I would prefer maki to temaki (handroll) , because a temaki is categorized as one of the “forbidden food to order on first date” in iCheesalot Bible, alongside with Caesar salad and lamb rack.

You see, eating a temaki, in fact, could be a very seducing action.

BUT!

Do you eat it from the tail or from the top? Whichever way, it requires great poise and grace! If done wrongly, you will end up feel like kicking yourself in the face because you just act like an oaf in front of your cutie.

Also, it depends on the freshness and quality of that particular temaki.

Uh. If you want to embarrass yourself, try sushi king’s.

Imagine the seaweed gets so limp and so difficult to tear off. When you attempt to bite it off, you risk looking like a ferocious alligator that descends upon the prey and peck at it viciously, tearing and swinging its head from side to side. And your date might find himself watching Animal Planet.

Such a beastly act of eating!!!

Okay. OTed a lil. But my point is!

This SSC Temaki is so cheesing fresh and crispy, you can just eat it top down/bottom up/sideway, whichever way you want!!

Go seduce your dreamboat now!



Oh by the way, another different angle of the temaki shot . It looks like the great offerings--3 joss sticks on the altar





Last but not least.

Macha Ice Cream



Still, the rock melon was waaaaaaay better.

=D

What rocks? Melon rocks!!

Yes people you are a cheesnius. Rock melon it is. And it is not a normal rock melon. It rocks.


The melon rind


The sliced melon


Let's take a closer look of that juicy flesh



Mozzie and I had this out of the world melon in a mysterious Japanese restaurant. Believe it or not. Two slices of this melon is RM three figure.

-_-lll

Wahaha now you regretted guessing it right because you will have to buy me (better still me and Mozzie) that RM three-figure rock melons for lunch. We promise we won’t ask for more. =D

It’s freaking ex la, but it’s like once in the life time experience lor.

Let me tell you why the melon is sooooooo good.

……

Yea that was how good it was. Mozzie and I went completely speechless. In fact I still don’t know what to say about it. Let me try.

It tastes like a piece of melon without fiber, sort of like a scoop of 100% melon sorbet, only 100,000 times better. I can just say it melts on your tongue like an ice cube in a hot oven. It fell apart and so did I, over the intense sense of euphoria.

Good things always melt in your mouth don’t you think so? *winks*

The most premium food are kinda melty anyway. Like Foie Gras, Melty Kisses (Strawberry please), Danish cream cheese… and… ROCK MELON!

Hmmm, since I cannot aptly describe the exact euphoric taste of a heavenly slice of rock melon, lemmi quote some of Mozzie’s lines to give you a more comprehensive picture of it.


“I wish my saliva tastes like this rock melon juice.”

“If only i ate enough for me to turn into a rockmelon cheese.”

“That aiyo-sudden-burst-of-flavor is so tsunami, katrina, el nino, la nina everything. okay okay, don't say i'm not patriotic, so kinabalu also can.”

“It is so good, I think I can puke it out and eat it back again and it will still taste a gazillion times better than honey dew”



-_-

The last one is gross la.

Anycheese. THAT is what I would call a perfect ending to a wonderful meal. No amount of Tiramisu or Crème Brulee whatsoever can ever beat that.

And trust me. No more honey dew for the rest of your life!

By the way I’m absolutely joking about the lunch thing. You can save it. I only wanna dine with the first person who answered my question correctly. You lucky bunny =D


Stay cheesed for more reviews!

Choccie Review #3

After Eight Irish Cream



So what is it? You can’t eat it before eight? Siao ah.

Imagine when out of the yellow you have a lil dying cravie for a piece of irish cream choccie and you look at the clock, it is 6.30pm!!

So potong steam right?

But fret not. It doesn’t say whether it’s after 8am or after 8pm. So technically anytime is after eight. Wahahah!! Why am I so smart, mom?

Before i even open the box, the strong aroma of irish cream could already send me to drunkville ( I’m a bad, bad drinker). The dark chocolate is not bitter enough to balance the tooth-rotting sweetness of the irish cream fondant. It might get a little too cloying after eight after eights.

Mozzie and I both agree that After Eight Mint is still way better. Classic. But i would still say it was worth trying, it's after eight after all.

I like how every piece of choccie is individually wrapped with a thin paper so they dont kiss each others' butts and so that your hand don’t get sticky too. But some say that’s the fun of it—getting your fingers muddy with choc, so that you can lick it, or get someone to lick it (for example your Chinkerbell Maltese) !

=D

Choccie Points: 6.5





Meiji Choco Petite Assorted



(from left to right: Marble Strawberry Chocolate, Coffee Beat, Choco Baby, Apollo Strawberry Choco Drops, Marble Chocolate )

Don’t be deceived by the packaging.

Uhm. Let me rephrase. DO, be deceived by the packaging.

Wait that still sounds wrong. Ok nevermind. Let me tell you.

I bought this only because I was feeling particularly aesthetically aroused that day. You know, like how sometimes you look at beautiful things and you just wanna have them, whether they are of use or not, and even if you might regret having them later on. For example, (girls please look at whichever item covered with spiderweb in your closet and shoe rack) and (guys please refer to how Nick Lachey feels about this [then] wife).

I’ve never expected the content beneath the packaging to be even remotely tasty.

AND I WAS WRONG.

It was in fact so good, Mozzie and I almost fell off the ground and lolled on the ceiling.

They are so mini, so tasty, so pretty.

We both like “Coffee Beat” the most. It looks and tastes excreamly coffee bean like. Like how the uncrushed bits of coffee beans in your Ultimate Mocha explode on your tongue and give you that few second orgasmic high. lol.

But still I need to control my caffeine intake so Mozzie, you can have a whole box to yourself. Bah.

-_-

I love Choco Baby too. It is so so tiny, so so infant, so so lovable, so soft and tender, just like babies (If you are observant enough, some Babies have a star shape filling on the bottom end). You just wanna pop them all into your ingestion orifice at one go and masticate every juicy bit of them.

*insert lickerish cannibal-like guffaws here*


Choccie Points: 7


P/S: Just feeling abit horny today. Don't blame me, blame the choccie! LOL.
