Posted by kampungboycitygal in Carnival, Special Event. 16 Comments
A lot of happenings in our uni nowadays, read Steven Choo’s entry University turn into megamall (MMU turns into MMMM multi media mega mall) and one of the event is Carnival of Japan which is organized by Japanese Cultural Society from 21st to 23rd of March. The working committes has put in a lot of effort in getting vendors to come in here and setting up the canopies. Kampungboy is the treasurer of JCS and he’s taking part in this event. So I must go Kepoh Kepoh a bit and helping around. One can know that it’s a successful event by just looking at the crowd. I guess noone can resist food right?
For me, the major attraction here is these ARTIFICIAL FOOD models. Serious?? Yeah, it is known as gyodan.I heard that the Japanese must study the art of gyodan for seven years before they are considered professional. They make it out of plastic and display it in restaurants so that the customers can see how will their food be like. But did you know that this is a craft with an 80 year history, and all models are still individually hand made by master artisans? The idea originated in a small mountain town in Gifu, and you can still visit a traditional workshop there. (Information from Princetonol Online)
Isn’t it amazing that all these food looks so real?? They are all hand made by professional japanese artist.
Ok! Let’s get back to real food that you can chew, bite and swallow. They have takoyaki, dorayaki , bananas dipped chocolate, sushis, float, nasi lemak, char beehoon, soya bean, cincau and some japanese stuff from 100 yen shop here. 800 dorayaki is sold off within few hours and the takoyaki stall is always been seen with long queue.
Our blog readers who bought the Japanese curry after reading our post..Must give them loyalty awards dee..
And not to forget our highlight of the day – Pretty Girls in Yukata!! Kawaii neh!! I know them so do bribe me for their contacts!
William is the luckiest guy on earth!

I haven been taking chicken for quite some time. The recent outbreaks in Perak make me a coward when it comes to bird poultry. Sarcastically, I take eggs occasionally. Haha!
Actually this sweet and sour fish is an impulsive kind of thing, but somehow it is similiar to the recipe that I found in Kuali. The only difference is that I choose not to deep fried the fish, because FAT DEE lar! I stir fry the fish fillets, please be noted that you must be soft and slow in movement during this process if you do not want to get the fish fillets wrecked.
The sauce is a mixture of tomato sauce, chilli sauce, lemon juice and some vinegar. These appetizing and (looks) fiery red sauce is best eaten with white rice. You gota trust me because KampungBoy finished 3 big bowls of white rice! I bet kids would love this dish to the max. It would be perfect with some pineapple and cucumber cubes. Haha but I left this two item for my grocery shopping.
As you can see, the same old boring “zhap chai” (mixed vege) again. This time, I added in some minced meat for some Omph! I loves minced meat so so so much. I think I can survive on zhap chai alone, as long as there’s some minced meat in it. Nasi satu lagi , please!
