My Very First Blog

Last Saturday, I went to Fahrenheit88 shopping mall in Bukit Bintang KL with my family for dim sum breakfast. After breakfast, we walked around the mall and that was when I stumbled upon these Tokidoki characters.



For the uninitiated, Tokidoki is the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand created in 2005 by Italian artist Simone Legno and his business partners Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold. They produce an innovative line of apparels, handbags, cosmetics, footwear, accessories and other products based on the characters and tokidoki logo designed by Simone Legno.



Frankly, I was not very familiar with Tokidoki, so I did some reading up before writing this post. In any case, I found these larger-than-life Tokidoki statues very cute! The above is Cactus Friend riding on a Tiger.

Below is another one of the Cactus Friends.



Ciao Ciao riding on Unicorno.



White Tiger.



Adios, the Grim Reaper from the Till Death Do Us Part group. By the way, I found out that Ciao Ciao (who is riding on the Unicorno) is his girlfriend!



Kaiju, the equivalent of a monster in Japanese.



Aren't they cute?

It's not too late to catch up on these cute Tokidoki characters as Fahrenheit 88 is holding the Tokidoki Exhibition which includes a pop-up store and sales of merchandise till June 29th.



Oh wait, did I see a Tokidoki Panda? Now I am really interested! :)

Last Wednesday, I took a day off from work to go shopping at Pavilion KL.

OK not exactly shopping, but more like a meeting up with my sister and nephew. We had lunch at Dome Cafe located at Level 4 of the mall.

Both my sister and nephew had Fish and Chips.



I had Grilled Chicken in Turmeric Sauce. Pretty good!



After a long lunch which we spent entirely eating and chit chatting, it was time for a movie. We watched Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie. I am not a big fan of Disney shows, but since I am a fan of Angelina Jolie, I decided to go for this movie. It turned out to be quite entertaining and Angelina was such a pleasure to watch!

After the movie, we visited the Batman Exhibition at the main concourse of the mall. As I am not a Batman fan, I was not really interested to take any photos. But my nephew was. These are some of the photos he took.



















Do you like them?

For dinner, we went over to Hokkaido Ramen Santouka at Tokyo Street on Level 6 of Pavilion mall. I forgot to take photos of the food my sister and my nephew ordered, so I can only show what I ordered. LOL!

I did not take note of the Japanese name for this set, but it consists of ramen in miso soup, rice with pork, salad, chawanmushi and a cup of tea.



My rice with pork.



Ramen in miso soup. You can choose from 4 different kinds of soup.



We also ordered a plate of gyoza (pan fried pork dumplings) for sharing.



All in all, a pretty satisfying dinner.



And before we left, we shopped at Komugi Bakery as well as Lavender Bakery for some yummy bread and pastries to take home. It was a good, pleasant day for me and I am glad I took the day off!
