Jogoya Promotion for Ladies!
Lookee what I saw on the YTL Platinum Plus site? A 50% off Jogoya meal for Ladies only! This is in conjunction with Jogoya’s 3rd Anniversary and Ladies get 50% off from October all the way to 19 December 2008. There are some restrictions of course.
The offer is only available on weekdays Monday-Thursday for all day dining and on Friday for Lunch or Late lunch only. I have only been to Joyoga once and I was not terribly impressed for the price that you pay. Essentially, for the uninitiated, Jogoya is a Japanese buffet restaurant from Taiwan in the upmarket Starhill Gallery and although you get a decent selection of foods, the price per head is expensive. I remember it as being something like RM88 for dinner.
Still, a 50% discount for ladies as an anniversary promotion beats giving out promotional pens or vouchers and I think I might want to visit again if only because with the discount it looks attractive.
Isetan’s Hokkaido Summer fair
I discovered the Isetan Hokkaido Summer fair at Isetan Kuala Lumpur last year. Since then, I’ve been on the lookout for it again this year.
My reason for looking out for it?
<– This - Flake Seasoning
Last year when I was browsing through the stuff on offer, there was a little Japanese lady who was quickly making Onigiri (rice balls) at this counter. She told me in limited English, that I could use the seasoning to make onigiri at home. I was sold!
What it is is essentially a mixture of seasonings, ranging from little silver whitebait to flaked scallops mixed with various other bits of seasoning that only the Japanese can make. It is absolutely heavenly, and I had a great time making onigiri at home with it. One packet retails for RM25 which is quite pricey, but you don’t use very much. I have been planning to go back this year to get some but haven’t found the time yet. I should hurry though because the fair is ending on 26th August 2007 and won’t come around again till next year!
If you go there, you could possibly look at (I can’t afford to buy them!) these super expensive ice-creams and cheese cake!
