Sakae Sushi food tasting event With Nuffnang!

Thanks Nuffnang so so so so much for inviting me to this event. I can't express my gratitude to Nuffnang on how much I love them. This event; is a food tasting session at Sakae Sushi 1Utama. Being heard that Sakae Sushi just relocated their lot in 1Utama, they moved to a new 'somewhat easy going for the soul' location. The new lot had around the same size of the previous lot, but it can now hold up more customers, and being said that, customers can still experience privacy to their hearts content. Lets get going with what happened during the food tasting session.

Firstly, I was glad I got to know more bloggers throughout the event, and also the usual G+ members. Had loads of fun chatting with the other bloggers, getting to know them more.
Also, If you know me you should know that I really really love the japanese cuisine. So this is a plus point for me! Bloggers + Japanese Food = LOVE.

I noticed that the place was quite cozy, I also noticed that they were using a new order system. Well not really a new order system but now they had touch screen monitors. Awesome ain't it?

First up in our full course menu was the famous Sakae Salad! It was a house specialty salad comprising salmon, crisp garden fresh greens served with plum dressing. And our table really really liked the plum dressing. We also had a 'lou sang' session haha. /feelinglame
Overall this dish was not bad, worth a try.

The hotate Mentaiyaki. I seriously LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the mentai sauce, on any dish mentai will taste good. seriously. Anyway, this dish consists of juicy scallops grilled with codfish roe and mayonaise. MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH! chewy like a chewing gum!

The Soft Shell Crab Tempura is portions of delicious soft shell crab, lightly battered and fried to crisp perfection. oh-my tummy is growling so much, but why?!!
Its so crunchy and delicious!

The most unique food I have ever seen in a long time. Sakae candles sushi. Its unique presentation gives you the chills when going beyond the food layout boundary. This is one of Sakae's signature dishes consisting of crabmeat, avocado, japanese cucumber, shrimp roe, codfish roe and mayonaise. A must try!

Lighting up the candles. B-E-AUTIFUL.

B2ST 1st album Fiction And Fact ; Overview.

I am so happy because, I got hold of b2st's latest album! Fiction and fact.
To me, this is 2011's most perfectly made album. It was a must-have item for any fan.
The purchase was well rushed, but ever worth it. It cost around RM60, which had a minor price difference from myb2utys pricing. But the advantages were that I got the stuff faster than them. Haha I'm amused at how such a small change can make people ecstatic. Well, abit.
Well, I'll cut the talk since you guys might also be excited to know how the album looks like, well here you go -

b2st fiction album 002

The front cover. The leopard/wolf symbolizing beast. Nice album art though. The texture and grip of the album was tremendously improved from the earlier b2st albums. If you guys have a copy of the 1st mini kr album, it is something like that album, but with better texture.
As for the size, its size is approx. the same as b2st's previous mastermind album/lgoa album.
b2st fiction album 003

Tracklist that I can never forget. (Cause I played through this list loads and loads of times for the past 3 days)
b2st fiction album 001

Overall picture of the album. Reminds me of my mastermind album.
b2st fiction album 011

Another really impressive cover that holds the photobook within.
b2st fiction album 010

Marginally thinner than 1st mini, DUH. But satisfying thickness, alas not so bulky.
b2st fiction album 004

The photobook cover of Fiction and Fact album. Very nice indeed. What kr album is complete without a photobook anyway?
b2st fiction album 005

The CD. Note the usual b2st origami design that distinguishes them from the other CDS. Also an somehow 'engraved' text of Fiction and Fact (Nah I'm just kidding with you)
b2st fiction album 006

Again, A clearer view of the Tracklist. Go listen to the tracks on youtube if you haven't already.
b2st fiction album 007

Credits.
b2st fiction album 009

The poster is really does the job in terms of size. Not really small (compared to kara's lupin poster). As I would say, standard KR album poster size.
b2st fiction album 008

LOL. Something told me I had to take this picture. Which "BEAST" do you like better?
Overall, what's within the CD is the most important, one that made you have the initiative to have bought the album in the first place. Their wonderful electro-pop sound waves lingering with your mind, making me click that purchase button ;

So, whatcha waiting for? It's B2ST's First Full lengthed album! If you don't get a copy now, you'll might as well leave the b2st wave. Get a copy at Yesasia or Ebay now!

2AM showcase 2011 Malaysia ; pictures.

Yesterday, Another huge kpop event emerged from the mists of the hallyu wave. 2AM hit up Malaysia once again with their amazing vocal ability and performances! Being this the only kpop show in Malaysia with hardly any dancing performances, its experience is somewhat different from the other shows. 2AM held their 2nd showcase in Wisma MCA at KL yesterday, at 6pm. The crowd was unexpectedly humongous! We didn't expect so many fans at all!
Below are the pictures I took from the event-

I was totally immersed into another world when they sang their ballads. I felt as if all my worries just went away for that very moment. It was well worth it getting to experience this up close.
