Tohato Chokofe Green Tea Galette

Bought this pack from Aeon supermarket in Johor Bahru. The picture looks enticing enough till you bite into it. Its a cookie that feels sugar-coated and abit too sweet for my taste. The matcha taste is hardly delectable. A disappointment!

Shizuoka Ocha Pie

Picked up this box for $8.80 from Nippon-Ya at Ion. It retails for $12.60 originally.

The name sounds like it is supposed to be a pie, with crusty flakes on the outside. Well, how wrong I was. It feels, tastes and looks like "Wife Biscuits"
Crusty on the outside with dry matcha paste in it.
Yucks! How un-Japanese it is.

Werewolf Boy

Summoned by an unexpected phone call, an elderly woman visits a cottage the way she used to when she was a young girl. She remembers a boy she knew half a century before. Moving to a peaceful village when she was a girl she discovered a "wolf boy", hiding his large, contorted body in the darkness. The girl, now a woman, has never been able to purge the images of his wild eyes and animal-like behavior from her mind. She recalls teaching the boy how to wait patiently before a meal, how to wear clothes, how to speak, how to write and other human behaviors so that he could one day live like a normal man. She opened her heart to the innocent boy and he fell in love with the girl, the only person to ever show him affection. However when threatened, he let loose his bestial instincts and became the subject of the villagers' fears. In order to save the life of the boy who risked his to be by her side, she left him with a promise: "Wait for me. I'll come back for you".

I love this film. A bittersweet love story with a sad ending. It touches the deepest chord in my heart on how love can be so pure and strong. I just can't help crying for the male lead, pinning and waiting for her return for 47 years. A must-watch.
