Asian Movie Review: A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (First Love)

Last night, I've finally watched  "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (First Love)".  I have to admit, it is as good as they say it is.  Everything was perfect!  This is my first time to watch a Thai Romantic Movie and I'm really impressed.

Although the plot is nothing special, the creativity of the presentation is beautiful.  I guess the selling point of the movie is that the story is so simple that everyone could relate to it.  We could feel the emotions as the movie plays along.  I don't know about you but I had some tear-jerking moments while watching this movie.  

Chon played by Mario Maurer is the perfect type of guy.  Absolutely no flaws except of being "Torpe" (can't express his love well) so its normal that he gains the admiration of the female audience.

On the other side, Nam played by Pimchanok Leuwisedpaiboo was an ugly girl who transformed herself in to a beautiful lady.  She has not only captivated the male watchers with her beauty but her impressive character development gained the favor of everyone.

I've been wondering though.  How did Nam appear to be fairer after the snow white play?  Did you notice the change in the color of the skin too?

Overall, this is a must watch movie.  This is the kind of movie that leaves impression upon its audience.  Certainly, its fame is a valid proof of that.

Royce' PotatoChip Chocolate Original

A few years ago, my cousin used to give us Royce Nama Chocolate (Chocolate Staff) from Japan.  We used to eat it often and have tasted all its common flavors.  Recently, we noticed Royce Chocolate opening at Robinson's Midtown. 

We noticed there was a Royce' PotatoChip Chocolate Original (worth 990 php) and decided to try it.  As we opened the box, it contained a vacuum sealed bag and inside it were chocolate-covered potato chips.  The potato chip was only covered by Royce chocolate only on one side.

As I munched on the potato chip, the taste was similar to the chocolate with sea salt chocolate bars I've tried before.  The unique sensation was the combination of the crunchiness of the potato chip and  the smoothness of the chocolate-cover.  I also really liked how the chocolate was not too sweetened perfectly complemented by the salt.

As I was eating, I realized that the salty potato chip should touch the tongue first and not vice versa so that you will first taste the saltiness before the chocolatey taste.  If it was done otherwise, the chocolate-cover will overwhelm the saltiness of the potatochip.  

Overall, it was delicious and quite addicting.  It doesn't get too tiring to eat that you could finish one bag in one sitting.  However, its not something I'd see myself craving over.
