Viva la Sat-ur-day.

Well, this Saturday's pretty much another typical day for me... I went out with my mom (not taxi, I drove my car.) to visit my grandmother who's currently residing in an old folk's home named "Mother's Nursing Home" (The days which I do this task is random).

After a few hours there, my mom decided that she wants to go to the "Jusco Cheras Selatan" shopping mall in Balakong... so I brought her there. My mom told me that she had a craving for Japanese food, so we decided to eat at the 'Ichiban Ramen' food outlet, after I've parked my car of course.

My mom ordered the 'Katsu Don' meal while I ordered the usual 'Unagi Don' (Rice dish served with eel meat, costs RM 19) which I usually like to eat, while both of us ordered the same drink... which is 'Ice-blended Coffee with ice-cream' (costs RM 6.50).


> Unagi Don. Looks deliciously delicious... lol


> The 'Ice-blended Coffee with ice-cream' drink that my mom and me ordered.

We decided to try the 'Gyōza' (costs RM 9) that they serve here... since it looks appetising, (both of us were really hungry around this time) and that this is my 1st time eating this. ^^


> Japanese-style 'Gyōza'. Looks appetizing indeed. ^^

According to Wikipedia,

"Jiaozi (Chinese transliteration), gyōza (Japanese transliteration), or mandu (Korean), is a Chinese dumpling, widely popular in China, Japan, and Korea as well as outside of East Asia, particularly in the United States.

Jiaozi typically consist of a ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping.

The most prominent differences of Japanese-style gyōza from Chinese style jiaozi are the rich garlic flavor, which is less noticeable in the Chinese version, and the fact that Japanese-style gyōza are very lightly flavored with salt, soy, and that the Gyoza wrappers are much thinner than the Chinese counterpart..."
And yes, the 'rich garlic flavor' part of the Gyōza is 100% true, tested by me. hehez

After a really fulfiling Japanese meal, my mom then went to do her own shopping while I kill some time by playing some games in the arcade, until she's done. Then, my mom decided to buy some Auntie Anne's pretzels. Woohoo! Auntie Anne's pretzels are DELI-CIOUS!!! When we arrived at this outlet's counter that time, I couldn't help but notice that there's a plate of tid-bits of Auntie Anne's Coffee-flavoured pretzels. So, I tasted 1 of those and boy, it was really good! My mom bought 2 Cinnamon-flavoured pretzels and 1 Sour cream and onion-flavoured pretzel (The usual flavours of Auntie Anne's pretzels that both of us like ^^).


> Tid-bits of Auntie Anne's Coffee-flavoured pretzels. TASTY n SHWEET! ^o^

After all that, we then went back home around 6.30 pm.


> Auntie Anne's Cinnamon-flavoured pretzels. Sugary goodness! lol

That's all I've to say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! See ya!
