Japan Trip - Shinkansen to Shinjuku

Speed of Bullet Train

Upon arriving to Shin-Osaka, we quickly rush out from Haruka platform to find where is the entrance for our Shinkansen. The ticket lady schedule us the train ride is just mere 30 minutes after arrive to Shin-Osaka, and due to the fact we're first timer and just arrive to the land of the rising sun, took us quite some time to locate the correct platform.

Just as planned, we went to the bento vendors to get ourself some bentos. So many choices, we can't read Japanese, can't made up our mind and the Shinkansen is leaving. Intense ; we were battling against time.

Japan Trip - Izakaya, Shinjuku

Japanese Mamak

On our way back to Shinjuku Train Station, we came across this huge food sales. Crowded with people, and food and freebies. Staff there are pretty generous and nice, explaining what kind of food they selling in English and free taste. YUM! But is super packed, I can't even bring out my camera to take a good shot.

Our friend here is leading us to the suppose to be Yakitori stall, knowing a good stall serving those, so we followed him, but tragedy happens.

Before of that incident, lets enjoy the Shinjuku street.

Penang White Curry Mee - Penang Corner @Kepong

All from Penang Corner

Recently, Social networks are being blasted and viral about the MyKuali Instant Penang White Curry Mee. Sold out in all Kedai Runcit, hypermarket, and even some shops are selling it at a much higher marked up price to earn extra profit during the hype. For a foodie like myself, of course the bandwagon are inevitable. Everyone is having it, buying it, loving it, even host some event to promote it.

But there aren't any REAL Penang White Curry Mee laying around, at least not near by KL. Stumble upon on the traditional Chinese food town - Kepong, we found this little stall that selling Penang White Curry Mee.

Curry paste
As you expected, White Curry Mee is White. Yep, we sure didn't know about it. On serving, it was white soup, more like a chicken stalk with milk, wasn't spicy, just plain milky soup noodles.

However, this magic Curry paste once added to the broth, it was a different food. The spiciness and the chilli flavour spread across the soup, making it a unique White Curry Mee taste. With pork blood, squid and shell meat, bring the freshness into the overall taste, combined with the savoury curry paste, a hearty meal for the day.

Give it a try, not the best location of all, no parking, no air-cond, no walk ways, just a simple stall serving simple food.
