Pokemon Curry

Posted by Emory on September 27, 2008

Yes, you read it correctly. Pokemon Curry - Made in the greatness of Japan. The place where people like hot stuff, cute anime creatures, manga, technology and so much more, gather in the city that is so advance, my head almost fell off while tasting this imported packed curry.

What is different between this curry and the others we eat in Malaysia? It has Pikachu on it! It’s not made of Pikachu meat or any rodent but the creature is merely an illustration that Pikachu also likes curry… (Citation needed?)

Although I’m not proficient in Japanese, I bought a pack costing RM4.90 and brought it back home and have it a go. By looking at the illustration on how to prepare them at the back of the packaging, I managed to use my imagination and the many many years of experience making instant noodles edible, to work with this curry.

Judging by the instructions, I ruled out the Microwave version because we don’t have a microwave… (just yet… (or never))…

After opening them, there are 3 objects which includes the packaging itself. Inside there is the curry sealed inside a foil with detailed instructions. A Pokemon sticker, in where opened, reveals a Pokemon inside, and the insides of the packaging with extra Pokemon information about the collectable stickers.

Got a (eat) catch em’ all!

First, I boiled the water so it gets hot first before putting in the packet.

Next, insert the whole packet inside the boiling water.

Later, wait for 5 minutes for the whole thing to warm up.

Then, remove from the pot. Here, I boiled an egg to company with the curry.

Lastly, remove the warmed curry from the packet. Serve with rice while both are still hot.

I can say that this packet of curry concept is nice. But still this is a product for kids. Not mainly for adults, or young adults to have a good meal. It’s just merely a snack. It may fill the stomachs of young kids but it may not fill mine. It’s like those small packet of Ding Dong chocolate biscuit snacks in a box with different toys inside when I was young. See how advanced Japan is?! Kids eating curry from packets!!!

I’m depressed…

After all, it’s a bit sweet and not even hot… as in curry-hot-kind-of-hot… It’s not even made of Pikachu meat!!

Yeah it’s sweet…

And this is in one of the pages inside.

Or 2…

YESH!!! My debut comic is out! I’m so HAPPY!!! WAKAKAKAKAKAKA…

After my 4th submission to the editor, this one was the light and the starting of my career as a freelance cartoonist. I’ve learn a lot from the editor after 8 months and I finally understand the process in making a good comic. Yeah, looking back at the first work accepted now seems like it still have flaws and newbie-ish, but I’m progressing along the way. I can’t rush work in most ways. I need to learn how to work consistently. Although this is the first year and I have a hard time coping with it, but this is life. It’s tough life…

Anyhow, I’m loving it! I’ve been through a lot brainstorming, getting sick, rushing works, late night works, walking to the office to and back… and it’s reaching to the end of the year. Although some of my plans don’t go what I want but I’m moving instead of standing still.

Now for those who already know, Support me ya?! I’ll ask my editor to leave me a copy and keep it in a plastic cover… WAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!! I need to treasure this copy like gold! Mint mint condition!

In other news,
