MY CROQUETTE SET LUNCHI had lunch at this famous Melbourne institution touted as serving the best Japanese cuisine in town with some Japanese friends recently. The price was EXCEEDINGLY expensive so be prepared to burn a hole in your pocket when going. The average price for a lunch set is around $25-35 so its very expensive....now, cos we went in a large group, i managed to take a picture of the various sets ordered by my friends. I ordered the croquette set which brought bck some nostalgia for me as i used to love croquette whilst i was in Tokyo and i would go to the デパ地下 (foodcourt of shopping malls) to buy them...other ppl ordered sushi, sashimi, katsudon,tendon,etc...the food was ok, i personally didn't think it was worth the high price we paid but at least it was an experience and next time i can proudly say when ppl ask whether i've tried Hanabishi YES!
oh...and the conversation we had was interesting....the topic turned to Japanese porn@@! I, being the feminist that i am, said that there should be stricter laws to regulate porn and that i have even thought about the proposed bill such as limiting the no of men that can be 'doing it' with the actress...eg: 1 actress with a max of 3 men.. (this is in response to what i hear is the common storyline of having a pack of men with one actress in most porn which is disgusting and unacceptable to me) and the japanese all laughed cos it was the 1st time they had heard of limiting the no of people....and one friend of mine even asked her friend (who by the way has a swimmers body which i noticed instantly when i first met him cos his polo t was just stretched across his formidable chest and he is also on a Japanese govt scholarship here. He worked for the Cabinet Office in Tokyo which means he got to see Japan's PM Koizumi once every 2 or 3 months!) that there was a male habit to watch porn isn't there!! The Q was phrased such that it was implied whether 'he' watched porn himself and as can be expected, he got embarassed haha...
Since i am on the topic of food, i will intro some restaurants i have been to recently...
I had lunch of pasta bolognese and italian hot chocolate mint at Stuzzichino on Lygon St this week. It was nice and the drinks menu is extensive with cocktails,etc and for those who love their chocolate drinks thick, they should try out the nice hot italian chocolates...but cos i DO NOT like my chocolate drinks thick, i was horrified when i saw the drink brought before me! It was super super rich and i had to keep adding water in to dilute it...the place is next to Koko Black.
I came across Kimchi Tray whilst walking by Flinders St on my way to FedSQ for Festival Melbourne last Friday and so i went in. I thought it was Grandma Kimchi, the well known Korean chain in Melbourne but was told though originally under the same owner, it was now under a separate management. The usual korean fare was there and i had chanpon (korean chinese noodles like ramen) An alright place with mainly chinese and korean patrons.

mr nasty: Hi, first of all thanks for the comments and even posting about me on ur blog! nways, if u read my blog, u must know i am all for women's rights and so i cannot accept a pack of men on one woman, however if it were like group sex with one on one then even though i personally can't accept it, i think it should be allowed...as long as there is no unfair abuse of women...
thanks also for the language comment, u r not the first commenter to say that and i am flattered..i guess i just have a knack for languages...and i have been educated in english throughout my life so of cos my english would be to a certain level, if it were otherwise, i think i will just sit down and cry,hehe...Also how do u know i speak cantonese? u can't tell just from writing, but i do anyways and i understand hokkien/taiwanese dialect too...so are u asian by any chance cos u seem to be able to differentiate the chinese languages (most caucasians would simply lump everything as Chinese) and also u could tell my japanese level was not perfect nor native so,out of curiosity,r u asian by any chance?
mr nasty: thanks again for commenting....well u will find alot of international students actually have good english skills...btw exactly where r u from? can u tell me abit more bout urself cos ur blog reveals little..i am both malaysian and taiwanese cos one parent comes from each country...about porn, the bill will be in terms of 'penetrator and penetratree' not in gender terms...also its ok for sm stuff as long as it is not shown as rape as one thing that will DEFINITELY be banned if i had my way would be ALL rape storylines in porn shall henceforth be ILLEGAL...hahaha...but consensual degrading sm will be allowed....so spanking is ok..blushing...a group of women on a man is ok also as he would be the 'penetrator' and the limit is only on the penetrator and does not cover the 'penetratee'...i would use these terms instead of men/women to cover other types of porn(take a guess, there is more porn out there now than just opposite sex ones!)anyways, i purposely did not put up my pics cos i do not want to reveal too much about myself....i am able to blog more frankly if i knew i had the cover of anonyimity...also u did not put up a pic of urself too....well, do tell me more about urself..
mr nasty: yes....ur post was reallly loooonnggg...about porn, mayb u could tell me more bout it cos although i would consider myself liberal in certain areas, i am actually really conservative when it comes to things like porn, i don't know much (neither do i really wanna know in terms of seeing it to understand) i heard about women and strap ons in a book on prostitution i read where this perverted client wanted one of the girls to f him anally and i have heard about the fruits stuff but it doesn't matter, it is usually inserting all kinds of things into women isn't it? so the males are still penetrators...and u know about gay porn too? hmmm...most straight guys would stay waaaaayy clear of that area...sounds fishy..unless...hehehe..
about rape, the law will ban all depictions of rape, the actors real feelings is totally irrelevant cos i am SURE most men don't care about the real feelings anyways...can i ask what do u do as an occupation and ur ethnic bckground? i would need to know more about u....leave it in ur blog if u don't want to put it here and i will go check...visit often!!
mr nasty: What i meant was that i would like to know more bout u, sorry if i sounded demanding!! like i would just like to know some things about u like are u a student? what ethnic bckground? u know just to get to know u cos u know some things about me from the blog but i hardly know much about u....so just out of interest, sorry if i sounded rude, didn't mean to!
mr nasty: alright, drop by often!
