We went down to Taka the moment I saw the F.A.S.T.( Fully Active Starburst Technology) 201 yoyo commercial on TV (Kids Central). LOL. I recognized Ian Poh and several others on TV.
Reached there and guess who I saw!?! STEVE BROWN!!! The yoyo legend! He's teaching some kids to yo. Haha. It was really cute! Spread the yoyo message! I brought my throw monkey along and got him to autograph it. LOL. Before that I had to hunt everywhere for a marker! God it was worth it! He's so darn cool , friendly to boot!
Me: "Errrr...Steve can I have your autograph?"
Steve: *With a pageant winning smile*"Sure!!!"
LOL. He seemed amused and there were some yoyo-ers like teasing him. LOL. I guessed I embarrassed him severely! Haha. But he's my idol! In my panic and freak attack, I forgot to take a pic of him and me together. And, I forgot to ask him if he'll be coming to grace the SYYC 06 event. LOL. Sotong me!!!
Oh man I was so nervous the whole time. To see Steve in the flesh, the grand-daddy of all yoyo-ers is like the bomb man! Haha I got a F.A.S.T. 201 yoyo too! I got the red one! Cool! A_A
Now for some yoyo artwork! LOL.
Correction to previous post. Ben McPhee's record has been rewritten by YoHans who did an amazing 52 tricks in one minute!!! YoHans a.k.a Hans Van Dan Elzen one of the designers behind F.A.S.T. 201 yoyos.Mel's food recommendation at Takashimaya Food Court Level 1- Name of Dish : Japanese Curry Omu Rice
- Taste: *****
- Ambience: *****
- Variety: *****
- Other comments: Basically, it's omelette( Omu in japanese) rice with a Japanese theme. There are many other flavours to try out, e.g. Hayashi Omu rice wrapped in omelette and dribbled with yummy japanese sauce, Seafood Omu Rice, Unagi Omu Rice, Ebi Omu Rice etc. You can order in sets which has a couple of other side dishes going for $7.50 and above, or you can order the premium set going $8.00 and above, with a bottle of drink included. Drinks available: Yeo's Green tea w/o sugar and w sugar, lemon tea, peach tea etc. Rice isn't too greasy.
- On Curry Omu Rice: Japanese curry that's not too spicy, can be a little salty for first-timers. Curry is smooth, creamy and thick. Comes with a pleasant curry fragrance. Chicken Furai pieces are well fried, not too oily crispy on the outside, soft, pink and tender chicken on the inside. Yummy! Slurps.
- On the serving portion: Can be a lil too much for light eaters.
What do those stars mean?
***** Please Sir, can I have more?
***** Tantalising for the tastebuds!
***** Worth a go.
***** You call this food? Fish food more like!
***** Not for the faint-hearted.
In my frenzy to finish up my food I forgot to take a pic of eat so you know how sedap it is! LOL.
