Tamiya Race and Okonomiyaki



Due to the low quality of the picture, you can probably only see some dark blobs whizzing by. Be enlightened - those dark blobs are Tamiya cars. Racing, in fact. As me and May looked, some cars overturned and some hit the 'dividers', prompting some member of the floor (I donno if they're part of a team or just the audience) to run helter skelter, tiptoeing like a crab to turn them upright again, while avoiding Tamiya traffic. So cute.



Those standing on the stage are the drivers. At first we thought they were fishing, because of the antennas, which looked rather like poles, don't you think? Haha... Thanks to another spectator standing behind us, we found out that the leading car was a yellow and orange one with the number '13'. Nearly fainted when the commentator announced, "40 minutes have passed", "159 laps" (which I think is the total number of laps; I could be wrong though), and then... "3 hours and 15 minutes to go". Wakao! 4 hours these uncles spend racing. Tamiya cars.


Yes, they even have technical support team. All canggih canggih looking equipment, spare parts, accesories, LCD monitors et cetera. You get the idea.

And then, we adjourned to Low Yat Plaza for lunch. My first time to Low Yat also (Ok la... you may be shocked with this). After walking around finding something special, we found:


"Hiroshima Supreme" flavour okonomiyaki and yaki udon with Rooibos Tea and kimchi

This is Okonomiyaki, which apparently is a very popular Japanese dish (not in Malaysia, I mean Japan). It's also known as 'Japanese pizza'. You can visit the link to know all about it. My opinion - not bad, worth a try.
