AFA X - Anime Festival Asia










ABBEY:
I'm not a super fanatic of anime.Few of them I only knew, Naruto, Ghost Fighter, Slamdunk. But I was amazed when we got to Suntec Convention center to buy books. This was only a side trip :) Imagine you'll meet the characters in person. That was great. I don't recognized the other characters. Then one familiar costume caught my eye. A black wrap-around cape with red clouds. Akatsuki!!! Good thing there's Kakashi sensei around. Without any idea of what we will see at the convention, I realized that I wore also my Superman shirt :) Nice Clark.


WILL: My thoughts were wrong. When I saw their advert, I am hesitant to ask Abbey to go to AFAX, we were at Suntec Convention for the Borders book sale. But on MRT, we are lil bit surprise that there are so many kids still in costume. 
      Cosplayers flocked up the convention's 3rd to 4th floor. So happy to see Naruto's friends and the sexy sailor moon's casts. 
      This is a good way for children to interact with others and to heat up their creative minds for their costumes. 
      Love Anime.

The Handburger

Abbey:
I told Wilma that I'll pick her up after office so we can have dinner together. We planned to eat at McDonald's. But we changed our plan because she said she wanted to have donuts for snack then have our dinner at home instead. At MRT we alight at City Hall station and stroll City Link Mall to reach Dunkin Donuts. As we walked, we were delighted by the newly opened diners at the mall. We tried to take a look then fixed our eyes on The Handburger. After asking a table for two a couple of minutes later we found ourselves ordering food. We had pulled-pork burger (strips of pork made up the patty), stuffed portobello burger (12 cm-portobello mushroom stuffed with spinach), onion rings, corny chicken (with bits of carrots, ground pork, kernel corn), hot green tea and iced lemon tea. All items is 30SGD. Not much right? The food is good. Different for my taste. The soup is rich in flavour and the burger is not like an ordinary burger in style and presentatioin. After paying the bill, the Pinoy staff also gave us a membership card. Nice :)








WILL: Isn't great to have a date after your busy day? Nowhere to go, I am just craving for a sweet donut, but when we saw that other stores where open, we decided to give it a try. And the try don't fail. Burger served in plates, expect it to be big one. I ordered the vegetarian burger. I just like eating something out of ordinary, and of course the taste will be different. Different in a very good way. So delicious, yummy ng mushroom.
      Of course a drink of hot tea for me. A chicken soup (creamy lah), and onion rings. 
      Abbey got a card and when we registered the card online, we were surprised that we have a points came from our first dinner with them. hehehe. Nice noh?

The Food Safari


ABBEY: 
We went to the Food Safari after my shift. Wilma attended lot of food expo back in the Phil. She was excited to come to this expo for free tasting :) And the food prices on this event is cheaper. We checked out the Pinoy stall. They offered buko, embotido, and barbecue. Pinoy na Pinoy talaga. Others show variety of cheese, teas, beer, Peking ducks, breads. Then there's the Turkish stall. I fixed my eyes on their shawarma. But the twist is that they put the fillings not in a pita bread but in a large pandesal. Sarap. I told Wilma to buy their ice cream because they serve their ice cream with a trick. Wilma was surprised with it. :) After we ordered, lot of people flock the stall. Good charm. Hehe.








WILL: I lilli, lilli like it! hehehe. I am always in expos lalo na sa food fares. Why? Busog dyan eh! Food taste and freebies is the primary reason why we went there in Abbey. Ayun, tummy was so full :) 
      Unforgettable, buying some turkish ice cream! Milka, wohhh, ynnah, I have it here. Nuttella 2 for SGD10.00 and the turkish ice cream is S$2.00. 
      More more more, food expos please?
