Asian Food Time: Beef Brisket Noodles and Pulut Hitam Meeting up with friends is always a good thing, even if you have to go all the way over to where they live just to catch up with them. It not only stops you from being a social recluse and becoming crazy, it gives you the opportunity to talk about what’s going on in their life. Fren, if you’re reading this, it’s always a pleasure catching up, and telling me that I’m Hongkee/Singaporean because I eat Beef Brisket Noodles and Pulut Hitam XD

For the love of DAISO…

Basically, I can’t get enough of DAISO. Why? It’s got stuff on the cheap, granted $2.80 is considered ‘cheap’ here in Australia. Also, if I had a girlfriend (which I don’t ㅠㅠ, Kpoppers will know this as Dialtone Syndrome), she’d be dragging me here to buy the kawaii stuff.

What did I get this time around?

  • Calligraphy/brush pen
  • Hot/Cold Gel pack
  • Kawaii facial tissues
  • Hard case for sunglasses
  • Sangaria Pinesoda (Side Note: I swear there’s the Ramune/Marble bottles there too, but I didn’t buy it)

Now onto the weird stuff (by weird, I mean from a Westerners’ perspective) and the Engrish.

  • Want some ENAMEL remover?? I’m assuming what they actually meant was cuticle remover considering it was in the health section of Daiso….
  • If you’re into baking, why not get transforming piping/pastry bags? The Engrish instructions are top notch here, ‘Please do not wash in boilling water.It might cause transformation.’, ‘It may get ripped with strain.’, ‘Please do not put it near an infant and a child’. 
  • How about some quality rubber slippers?
  • A leisure cushion perhaps? (It’s an inflatable cushion for sitting on rough surfaces, or for kneeling on grass?)
  • Erase and sniff erasers? If not those, moldable erasers then? I remember burning through lunch money when I was in primary school in Singapore to buy these kinds of erasers, or the ones with images of Pokemon or other stuff and then playing the eraser game. (Don’t believe me? Check out this guys page on the eraser game, and how times were much simpler back then.)
  • Raining out? Get some rain jackets, rain pants, or a rain poncho.
  • Need to keep stuff cool? Use this cooler bag with Engrish printed on the front: ‘I my favorite. Let’s take lunch under the blue sky on the day when the weather is good.’ 
  • Last but not least, some wet wipes not just for adult bottoms, but also to wipe down a body (CSI plot, anyone?)

Oh how I would love to say, ‘TAKE MY MONIES!! *Chucks money at Daiso* but as a poor returning-to-uni student, I’d rather not go broke on Japanese stuff… or will I?

Singapore Although now 6 million strong (compared to 4 million when I left), this place, although crowded and much busier, still feels like home whenever I go back. Maybe because for much of my childhood, I grew up and saw it grow and evolve. Whilst Australia is my current home, and the Philippines is the land of my birth, Singapore will always be the place in between. </reminiscing>
