Wow, We didnt expect to spend WHOLE Day in Tokyo Game Show 2008 & its over around 5 pm & it was really a blastful event. Not only that, we even feel not totally satisfied cuz we didnt got the time to try all the games over there. There are just so many booth & games plus the place is huge so it takes time from hall to hall, I guess 1 day pass really not enough but we wont be coming back the 2nd day since we got other place to go, sigh. Also we wont be able to see cosplay event which is normally held outside the hall on weekends, but we'll be going back to Singapore by then.

Also one thing I'm suprised after attending Tokyo Game Show 2008 is that now I know why Mobile Phone games are so amazingly popular in Japan, they got those BIG titles from CAPCOM, Square Enix, etc on their phones to play !!! somemore the phone has very high resolution or good gprahic quality. It's as good as PSP graphic, I can say.

We're going straight to hotel once we're done at Tokyo Game Show 2008 . Will look for place to have our dinner nearby our hotel now~.

( Saw てんや, the famous tempura-don chain )

( But we saw Coco Ichibanya, famous Curry restaurant )

( We take a peek on the menu facing outside on the Window )

After long wonder & curiousity, we decided to eat here since we love Japanese Curry~.

( They even have an english menu, so cool )

( Can mix & match your own カレーライス too, so cool )

( There's so many カレーライス options in the menu )

After by looking this interesting option, we tried to choose カレーライス with some add-ons. So I decided to get Eggplant カレーライス with cheese added (never try using cheese on curry before) & Hubby has his Beef カレーライス added with some beef parts~.

( My Eggplant Cheese カレーライス )

( This time with some flash. Curry is boiling hot )

( Hubby Beef カレーライス )

( Another shot of Hubby beef カレーライス )

OMG. It was one of the most いちばん おいしい カレーライス we ever have in our life. I didnt really like the Eggplant ( taste a bit plain ) & also the cheesy curry though. Shouldnt never ever put cheese into a Japanese curry, lesson learned. The cheese totally kinda "spoil" the curry taste, can still taste the curry a bit though, but the cheese a bit ruining it. Other than that, we love eating here cuz the staffs are so friendly & helpful, environment also nice & not too cramp / crowded. The meal is fantastic cuz they really give SO MUCH curry as if your whole plate is drowning in curry. They also give plenty beef meat into hubby's meal, the money really worth it. Definitely we will be coming back here if we ever go to Japan again.

So once we're finished with our dinner, we're going back to hotel to rest. Here are some haul / stuffs we bought (only 2 actually) & got for freebies.

( Cant resist buying this かわいい stickers of cats characters )

( Monster Hunter Calendar poster, pretty cheap )

( The freebies from Tokyo Game Show 2008 )

( 7th Dragon stickers got from playing the game )

( Kingdom Hearts Sora file holder from playing )

( Some booklet & flyer, looks nice enough to put on walls )

( Free fan, booklet & white bear HP Strap on the right )

( Cooking mama flyer & other flyers )

( Fan, booklet, flyers )

( Devil May Cry 4 Magnet, Postcards, PSP Skin sticker )

( Shining Force Feather file holder & PSP Crystal Face plate )

Some of you might be wondering why the heck I collect those flyers / pamphlet / booklets, etc. Well, the fan is useful for hot weather in Singapore. The flyers will be mini-posters, so I'm going to paste them on the wall most probably, haha.

Anyway, tomorrow we'll be going to Harajuku~ !!! Look forward for our next trip report regarding Harajuku !!! じゃ, またあしたね ~.
