We found lunch at one of the aisles. It was a Japanese-Western fusion kind of food and it was surprisingly delicious. Coupled with the fact that we were hungry, we chomped down the food very quickly.
After lunch was a long way back to Namba and then to the Rock Star cafe. I saw on the website that the pet cafe was all about creepy crawlers and the patrons were allowed to hold the iguana and what not. The kids were very excited; they were afterall very much into lizards and had been asking ti keep one as pet. Lol.
Along the way, we came across one of the many 抓娃娃机 and had to try our luck. Beginners' luck was really with me. I slotted in my Y100 and was meddling with the joystick and was super upset that the claw was not moving. I was complaining loudly to Daddy Lim to only realise that the machine comes in the upper and lower deck and I had activated the upper deck one while swearing at the lower deck.
So, without even looking at what I was doing, I won my 1st 娃娃! Daddy Lim said that the toy was like accidentally tipped over by the claw. Lol. Lil Shauna benefited from it.
It didnt take us long to find the Rock Star cafe. The session came in 2-hour slot and we were really lucky to come right before the slot started at 1.30pm. Moreover, it was empty on a Monday afternoon.
While there were many cute and furry animals, there arent any reptiles as expected. We found 1 lonely snake but it was not for touch. Nevertheless, the kids were super thrilled to be able to hold those furry ones. When our time starts at 1.30pm, we could ask to hold a particular animal. The staff will bring it to the table that is specially designed to hold the animal. We also pay extra Y300 to experience feeding.
This was the 1st furry guy that the kids chose. Lil Shauna says that it was a meercat.
Whatever it was, it was too active and totally not the kids cuddling furry ball. Lol. In a short while, they grew bored and asked the staff for a change.
This was the 2nd friend. I think it was some kind of big white rat. Look at its tail!! Eeeeeeewwwkkk.
The "feeding experince" was really an "experience"; we were given like a few pieces/ seeds.
This was the 3rd one - a chipmunk. Hi Alvin! It stopped to munch on the seed, giving Daddy Lim and I a chance for selfie.
Hi to the 4th one. This cutie ball was a sweetie. I could totally live with a hamster! This one was so gentle and it didnt bite.
Chinchilla! They say that chinchilla is super timid and gets scare easily but I think this one scares us more that we scare it. It was constantly looking as if it would jump off the table. Rescue the Chinchilla!
Next, the kids decided to go 1 level up - pocuppine. Seriously? The food comes in a tub bcos there was no way to carry this thing. Its spikes are actually quite sharp. This guy didnt last very long bcos it was peeing and pooing a lot and constantly spiking us.
7th on the list were 2 sugar gliders. The kids had a lot of fun with these 2.
The little ones run all over the kids. Even Daddy Lim joined in the fun.
Lastly, we had the brown hamster. I still like the earlier hamster guy better.
We left the cafe at 3.30pm. It was freaking expensive. The cafe comes with an entrance fee of Y1,000 each and we had to each order at least a drink for Y800. Overall, the 2 hours trip almost cost us S$100! Then of course, it was an experience that we would seldom have.
We exited and came to Dontoburi! I had to try the Takoyaki. Everybody raved about them.
I like the Singapore version better leh. This one had a strong ginger taste and was all gluely inside.
The kids, particularly Zaky, were whiny with the late night, early morning and long journey. But they perked up at more claw machines and arcade. We found One Stadium, the 4 storey big ass arcade place but Daddy Lim wasnt particular fond bcos there were like tokens jackpot machines. Popo would have love Osaka - such Pachinko and slot machines were everywhere. We didnt change any tokens but the kids found some free ones and went on to try.
We left after the tokens were all "eaten up". It was still early but the kids CMI already. So we headed back to the hotel after pictures at Dontoburi to mark our 到此一游.
In the land of good food, this was the only thing that we had.
Zaky was tired and hungry and very grumpy and insisted on instant noodle for dinner probably influenced by the morning visit to the cup noodle museum.
On the way back, I managed to grab some masks. Kevin 老师 from 女人我最大 recommended wor.
Dinner was indeed cup noodles and triangle rice. Of course we had an early night bcos we were all dead tired and we again have an early morning tomorrow. Hohoho.
