Have you ever tried Japanese food?

  

        I am so sure most of you must say "yes". In Thailand,  there are many Japanese restaurant such as Fuji, Oishi, Zen,Ootoya and etc. As much as we know, Japanese food is quit popular all around the world. 

         Sushi must be the first Japanses food that  people can figure it out.However, today I would like to present one of  famous Japanese food that is Japanese curry.

      

     We have seen from time to time in Japanese cartoon since we were young. Still, how many of us have eaten it. 

          Today I would like to share you my first experience at a Japanese curry restaurant which must be an awesome place for Japanese curry-mania named Cocoichibanya.

                Cocoichibanya is a kind of Japanese restaurants but they serve just curry. That is why Cocoichibanya call itself curry house. It opened for first time in Thailand in 2008 by Oishi group.

      I go  to this curry house at Esplanade which placed on Ratchada Road. Cocoichibanya is the first restaurant on your left hand when you steps in Esplanade.

     

     "There are various curry dishes on menu. Moreover, you can customize your own dish ; for example, you can choose the spicy levels, amount of rice and various of topping."

    

       

  "The thing you must know before you visit Cocoichibanya is there are 4 steps to order at Cocoichibanya ." 

 

 1. Order your own dish. 

 2. Choose amount of rice. If you decrease, you will save money.

 

 

 3. Choose the spicy levels.

 4. Choose topping. there are various cost for each topping.

          

       Today I ordered pork katsu(fried pork with rice). I decreased amount of rice and chose spicy level 3. Eventually I ordered boiled eggs as my topping ^ ^

my dish!!

           It was served with big plate. Anyway, it seemed a few rice for me to eat. At my first bite, It was quit fair but it was spicy a few minutes later. Japanese curry may not hot like Thai chilly. If you are Thai people, I am sure you can take spicy level 3.

        

       When i ate almost the half of the dish, it was greasy.    I thought  I need some vegetable.  My cousin suggested me to eat this one ( in the picture). It was preserved cabbage which was a bit  sweet, but I can say it help me much...

      


     
        In term of the cost, i think it was quite expensive for student. My dish cost around 160 baht ,service charge 7 percentages and vat 7 percentage.However, it isn't bad to try something original in this cost. It tastes good than other dishes I have eaten before..

So I must say it for sure. You should taste this one to change your Japanese curry experience forever.  ; )))

Are you looking for a great place to chill out at night? I have a place to recommend

         The first place that pops up in my head is Route 66.  I believe that many people have heard about this place.  It is very well-known night club in Thailand.  Not only teenagers but also adults go to party there, and it is not only popular among Thai people but also tourists.  Even though I have gone there a few times, I really like it. 

   
         There are two zones in the club – live and hip hop zones.  Live zone is Thai music.  There are famous Thai singers perform on stage every night.  Another zone is hip hop.  I think everybody can imagine it.  It is my favorite zone where people come to enjoy and dance like crazy.  For anybody who is allergic to smoke, there is indoor area with the air conditioner.  Or if anybody wants to have more space to dance, meet new friends, have a short talk with people, go to the outdoor area.  These two areas are close to each other. 

They also have DJs to turn on music and control the music player on stage.  The DJs are female and male, but almost of them are Thai male.  Different DJs, different style of music, but the main concept is hip hop and dance.  About the beverage, I think it is not expensive much.  There are various kinds of drink – cocktail, wine, beer, soda, and so on.  For me, I’m not a drinker, so I usually choose less alcohol or cocktail.  More than this, the entry is free for Thai people. 

So, don’t waste your time. 

Go get your dress and make up

Shake your soul out there!

Life is no fun without a good scare!

            For a long long time ago, when I was 3 years old, there is one movie that I have never forgotten;  it is called “The nightmare before Christmas”. It is the first horror film in my life and it totally stuck in my head until this day. At first time that I watched it, I think this film is very very scary! (Of course, I was just a kid!) I can remember that I watch this film several times until the video tape was broken, so you can say that I am addicted to it like a drug or something. I think this is the cause why I love to watch scary films so much when I grown up.

              “The nightmare before Christmas” is the stop motion musical fantasy film, and it was produced by Tim Burton. The story is about Jack Skellington, a creature from “Halloween Town” who is responsible for setting up The Halloween Festival in human world. One day he accidently goes to the “Christmas Town”, and then when he comes back from “Christmas Town”, he decide that he want to be in charge of setting up The Christmas Festival instead of Santa Clause who is actually in charge of  this festival, and this is how the riot begin.

            At that time, the animation film is new; it is not easy to make it like in this time because nowadays the technology is in very high level, so it took three years for making this film complete. The songs in this film are very remarkable because it sounds very dark and spooky but beautiful in its own way. It can go along with the animation very well. I think this film should be given some prizes because it is the first stop-motion film, it is a legend for me, but in fact, it does not have even one.

            Others film of Tim Burton are “Edward Scissorhands” (this is older than The Nightmare before Christmas and it is my favorite too.), “Corpse Bride”, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”, and “Dark Shadow.” Finally, this film is worth watching for every age, if you have not watched this film yet, I would like you to watch it because “life is no fun without a good scare!”   

Here are some songs from this film….check it out!

6 steps to make decoupage work by yourself.

     I bet somebody may have a question in mind.What is decoupage?!?? Is it a kind of cliff? or does it mean shameful??

 

  

    Decoupage is a kind of art work which decorates the surface material with paper cut-out. From attaching paper cut-out, it looks like actual painting on the surface material. 

       In short, it is just paper work. Decoupage work is different from Paper Mache that you cut a lot of small pieces of paper and attach on the material to create a new picture. Decoupage is to cut the whole picture and to attach entirely on the material.

        Today I would like to tell you about  the 6 easy ways to make the decoupage bag that you can do by yourself.Ready? Go!!

        Today I would like to tell you about  the easy ways to make the decoupage bag. t
     1. Go to Jatujak market (this step is just for people who live in Thailand ^ ^). Let's go directly to handmade material zone.  There are many decoupage material shops for all the material you need. For others,who do not live in Thailand,I suggest you to go to handcraft shop.
