Pepper Sweet

Found this in Kuching

In case you do not know this, Sarawak is the largest pepper exporter in the world. The main export countries are Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, United States and majority parts of Europe. 

Being the house of best quality pepper in the world, Sarawak gets the chance to do a lot of research to make a full use out of pepper. Pepper Candy is one of the only-in-Sarawak candy. 

If you want to know how does a sweet pepper taste like, do visit Sarawak and you should definitely get some of this Hot and Sweet candy. Remember to bring some home to your family and friend.

Sarawak - where adventure lives...

The first thing I thought about when I heard about our purikura territory expansion to Sarawak - will there be lots of kucing (cat) taking purikura? Maybe lots of cat lovers will be taking their kawaii portraits with their kawaii kucing? Will there be lots of Maruchan there? ...ok, ok, ok, my mind doesn't stop at one first thought and I got to admit this - I have a wild imagination and yes, I have never been to Sarawak until now. Since Kuching is the city we'll be heading to and the only famous place I have known about is the one and only kind of Cat Museum in the world, so my mind decided to create the whole Cat only idea about Kuching.

Kucing as the landmark of Kuching

More kucing

 After checking out more about Sarawak (thanks to Sarawak Tourism website), I finally broaden my knowledge about my beloved country's largest state. Now I know that Sarawak is the rainforest city where every adventure enthusiast around the world must go destination. Though Kuching is Sarawak main city, their buildings are surrounded by greenery. Wish we get the same here in Kuala Lumpur...

However, beyond the outdoor adventure lays another new adventure which will soon be hitting in Sarawak. I'm talking about the Kawaii fever.

Our first batch of purikura for Kuching has arrived and ready for you fashionistas in two different shopping malls.

City One Megamall - Akogare Baby and Bijo Cosme

Akogare Baby is still waiting for her debut in Summer Mall

City One Megamall is up and running strong though it is still not fully occupied yet and the people there are loving purikura. (^U^)

Summer Mall is scheduled to be opened this year. I heard that they are building a water theme park there. Looks like there's going to be a theme park adventure added on the list.

I shall update our Sarawak purikura invasion soon to you kawaii people soon. 

じゃ、またね ❤

Malacca - a city where all begin...

Long long time ago, there was a prince from Palembang named Parameswara, who is both ambitious and courageous. He was out hunting on a one fine day when he saw one of his hunting dog was kick by a small mouse-deer (known as "Pelanduk" in Malay). This small creature's bravery impressed him and he thought, "this must be a sign from God that this place shall be my new kingdom". He decided to name the place "Melaka", after the tree where the mouse-deer bravely kicked and killed his hunting dog, and from then, Malaysia's first state was founded. It was 1400.

Two mouse-deers and Melaka tree are the symbols of Malacca state logo today.

Since her first founder, Malacca has gone through a lot of different culture influence from both West and East. Malacca has been declared by UNESCO as part of the World Heritage List, alongside with Penang's George Town. She is another tourist destination hot spot in Malaysia.

Since setting up our business in Malaysia, we are not only working, but we get to learn and understand Malaysia's culture and history more. Malacca is the very first role model that shows multicultural people living harmoniously since more than 500 years ago. We are proud to be part of this culture in Malaysia.

Our first purikura in Bandaraya Melaka.

Penang – Pearl of the Orient

Penang is one of the most well known tourist destinations in Malaysia. Its rich culture with a unique blend of urban and tradition has attracted the world to come and visit. On top of that, you can find so many different cultures in Penang, which is why people from different background who are living or just merely visiting there felt Penang is like their second home.

Penang has become the Japanese go-to city as their second home plan because of the all year round consistently nice weather, the food and the friendly society. No wonder the Penang Japanese Association is still going strong after more than 30 years of establishment.

The Penangites (this is what the people who were born in Penang called themselves) have a year long planning on different Japanese activities, such as this year’s upcoming BonOdori Festival, Culture Japan Festival and 10^th Japanese Film Festival.

Currently, to cater more Japanese culture to Penangites, the number of FEC (Family Entertainment Centre) has increased with more amusement machines brought in from Japan. Here, we are proud to introduce purikura to the Penangites. Afterall, forgetting to introduce Kawaii to them makes their Japanese culture knowledge incomplete you know.

Seberang Prai City Shopping Centre

Queensbay Mall

 Don’t worry, we will be putting more purikura in other parts of Penang. Stay tuned!

Spreading the Kawaii to Malaysians

What is the first thing that pops in your mind when you hear the word Japanese?

Kawaii (cute)!

That’s right, almost every cutesie thing that makes the Malaysian girls go insane is from Japan. Famous kawaii characters such as Hello Kitty, Maruchan, Pikachu, TarePanda and many more are no strangers in Malaysia. However, Kawaii does not limit to cute consumer goods, but beauty as well. The kawaii standard for beauty is big round eyes and flawless fair skin which not many people are born with it. However, since cuteness is the core motivation to the Japanese creative innovation, we all can now have this irresistible kawaii beauty through “Purikura”.

Purikura, a short Japanese pronunciation for print club which is also known as photo machine. The play is simple, you just need to go into the booth, strike your cutesie pose while the camera and lights do their wonders, then scribble your pictures with all the cute icons and letters, and then collect your photo printed on photo paper sticker. Your beauty is instantly transformed into Kawaii beauty in the photo.

Of course, every kawaii obsessed girl is familiar with purikura, however, it is not easy to spot purikura in Malaysia in the past years. We have heard this problem and are determined to solve this problem. We want to make sure all major shopping centers in Malaysia have at least one purikura accessible to everybody who wants to be kawaii.

Today, we have installed 58 units purikura in all around Malaysia and still counting.

Here are some of the many locations:

Setia City Mall, Shah Alam.

Bukit Tinggi, Klang.

Bukit Tinggi Cinema, Klang.

Taman Equine, Seri Kembangan.

Wangsa Walk, Wangsa Maju.

AU2, Setiawangsa.

Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur.

MetroPrima, Kepong.

And there are many more locations but unfortunately we can’t fit them all in here.

We want to make sure all of you in Malaysia have the place close to you to unleash your kawaii-ness, therefore we are working hard to put more purikura in more locations.

Kawaii is not limiting to girls, it’s for all peace loving people regardless of age, gender, race, religion culture etc (hey, that sounds like you, Malaysians!). So let’s spread the Kawaii in Malaysia today!
