映画：２１世紀のヒーロー。。。/ Movie: Super Hero of the 21th Century...

今の時代は、優しい人か、正義感が強い人か、どんな人がヒーローですか？最近、シンガポールの映画館でヒーローの映画を見ました。その映画に「２１世紀の現代、変態こそ正義である」と言いました。まさか、それは事実ですか？映画の名前は。。。
In the 21th century, what would be the characteristic of a superhero? Does he needs to be a gentleman or does he needs to be a guy with a strong sense of justice? In fact, I have watched a superhero movie a few days ago. And in the movie itself, it has mentioned that one needs to be a pervert in order to fight for justice. And does it really apply in the 21th century? By the way, the name of the movie would be...

「変態仮面」です。 これは漫画の原作に基づいた映画作品です。 お父さんは刑事、お母さんはSM女王の高校生・色丞狂介は 正義のヒーロー・「変態仮面」です。 その人は女性用パンティを被ってしまったことがきっかけで 正義のヒーロー・「変態仮面」に目覚めます。 その人は愛と正義のために、正義のヒーローに成りました。 確かに、大部分のヒーローの映画は真面目な映画です。しかし、 この映画はとても可笑しい映画です。ヒーローの攻撃方法とか、 キャラクターの対話とか、映画に可笑しい点が多いですね。 'HK FOrbidden Super Hero'. This is a rip-off of a Japanese Manga in the 90s. Being the child of a Police detective and a SM Queen, High School Student, 'Kyousuke Shikijou', has a hidden Identity and that would be 'HK'. He has unintentionally awaken his special capabilities when he has mistaken a mask with a used ladies panties, which marks the starting point of his perverted superhero life. For the sake of love and justice, a new superhero is born... In fact, most of the superheroes movie out there are mostly movies with a serious plot. As for this movie, it's more of a pretty hilarious superhero movie than a serious movie. The way the hero performs his attack, the conversations that all the characters are making, can be pretty stupid and hilarious too.

これは「変態仮面」が映画館のマナー違反者を取り締まるCMムービーです。 Anyway, here's an interesting video that teaches us the various movie theatre etiquette by the unlikely type of superhero, 'HK'.

東屋の鍋 / The steamboat at Azmaya

シンガポールに様々な料理があります。その上、四川鍋とか、「中薬」鍋とか、様々な鍋料理もあります。しかし、皆さん、珍しい日本風のカレー鍋とトマト鍋は食べたことがありますか？
You can try various types of food in Singapore. Just for steamboat alone, there's already a very big variety of steamboat soup that one can try. There's like 'Sichuan soup', 'Herbal soup', etc... However, have anyone out there tried 'Japanese Curry soup' or 'Tomato soup' before?

「濃厚カレー鍋放題セート」 厨人はこのカレー鍋にたくさん野菜と豚肉を入れています。 ウェイターはその鍋を卓上電磁調理器の上に置いています。 ５分後、カレーのいい匂いがありますよ。 １５～２０分後、すべての料理を食べられます。 鍋に少し材料を出して、皿に置きます。味がとても美味いですね。 'Thick Japanese Curry Steamboat Buffet' The chef has added lots of pork and vegetables into the pot. And the waiter have place the pot on a mini induction stove. You will be getting a nice curry smell after 5 minutes and you can start digging into the food after 15-20 minutes of waiting. You can slowly scoop out some of the ingredients and add it to your plate and the taste of it is fantastic. :D

実はね、このレストランの優しいウェイターさんは色々なソース を貰います。しかし、柚子ソースよりカレーの味の方が大好きです。 濃厚の質感といい、甘い味といい、素晴らしいカレーですね。 Actually, the nice waiter has also prepared two bowls of sauces for me. However, as compared to the taste of the curry, the taste of the 'Yuzu' sauce isn't fantastic enough. And I really like the thick texture and the nice fragrance and taste of the curry.

そのカレーと飯がよく似合いと思います。とても楽しいです。 あそこの料理が大好きですね。もう一度行きたいです。 そこで、様々な和食以外、お酒とか、ビールとか、 飲み物の選択が多いですね。面白いですね。 And the if you have gone for the 'Curry steamboat', you should really order a bowl of rice too. The curry can really blend with the taste of the curry nicely. In fact, after giving it a first try, I don't might giving it a second shot again. :P By the way, besides serving various types of Japanese food, They also have a wide selection of beverages. There's Japanese Sake, Beer, etc... And the beverages menu looks pretty interesting to me.

レストランの名前は「東屋」です。 住所はシンガポール川の周辺、「Robertson Quay」という道です。 The name of this restaurant would be 'Azmaya'. It's located along 'Robertson Quay', which is beside SIngapore River.
