Are you a Japan Curry Rice lovers?
Then you really have to try CoCo ICHIBANYA, the world most famous curry rice from Japan!!!

Make a guess how many outlet they have across the world?
Yes, they have a total of over 1,300 outlets across the world. CoCo ICHIBANYA is Japan’s most famous curry house. 


This family-friendly restaurant chain recently opens their 4th outlet in Singapore at Westgate, with specially exclusive menu items – pancakes, only available here!

Located on the ground level, this is the first café-style concept for CoCo ICHIBANYA in Singapore and in the world. Its brightly-hued interiors, cosy booth seats, and breezy outdoor seating area makes it a perfect gathering place for both couples and groups of friends alike. 

First And Only Outlet In The World To Offer Signature Pancakes 
Patrons visiting CoCo ICHIBANYA at Westgate ought to make a beeline for the signature pancakes which are exclusive to this outlet for the time being. The secret behind the pancakes’ great taste lies in their freshness. Each batch of batter is only enough to make six pancakes, and because the batter is made-to-order, patrons will get only the fluffiest, freshest pancakes. 

 There are four variants:

Caramel Nutty Pancake ($7.90)
Caramel Nutty Pancake comes with a generous serving of whole mixed nuts, as well as vanilla ice cream, sweet caramel and custard sauce.

Rainbow Fruity Pancake ($8.90)
Mixture of Kiwi, Strawberries, Mango and whipped cream. This is one of my favorite.



Banana Choco Pancake ($8.90)
This popular option is a classic combination of sliced fresh bananas, strawberries, and chocolate and custard sauce.

Happy Berry Pancake ($8.90)


The pancakes here are unlike from the usual pancakes available on the market.
 They are more chewy and full of bite, and aren’t too cloyingly sweet. In addition, true to its Japanese roots, the pancakes at CoCo ICHIBANYA are perfect serving to enjoy on your own. 

Well, of cause I did not come just for the pancakes, but  also the delicious Japanese Curry…

Omu Rice Pork Cutlet (Spice Level: Hot)
Japanese omelette wrapped over steamed rice, in a pool of delicious Japanese curry topped with crispy tender pork cutlet.

Enjoy it your way! Whether paired with rice or udon, you can enjoy their curry in a variety of permutations – with deep-fried meats, vegetables, seafood, or a combination of different ingredients. 

Egg Salad

Bacon Salad

What I like about CoCo ICHIBANYA is you can select the curry, the quantity of rice, spice level of the curry and select toppings.  Carb-conscious diners will also appreciate the option to order less rice.



I alway like to order as a set with Mini Salad and a Drink too!

JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL had recently launched a new short film. The film starring Jude Law and co-star Giancarlo Giannini was shot in the British Virgin Island and directed by British director Jake Scott. 

The 6 minutes short film sees the 2 gentlemen relaxing and sipping to their glass of blue-labeled whisky on a beautiful and luxury yacht in the British Virgin Islands.

Law stated his intention to buy the yacht for himself but Giannini replied the yacht is not for sale. Giannini stated that the luxury yacht was built in 1928 and it was rare and there was no other yacht like this in the world. So Law proposed to buy the yacht not with money but to win it with a dance. Giannini seem to accept his wager and toasted to Law with his glass of whisky. Law found out later that he does not even dance.

With his desire to win this money-can’t-buy yacht, he set off his mission to orchestrate a magnificent performance by playing a piano and performed a tap dance. This unique dance show was complete with back-up dancers and live band. Giannini who was invited to his performance, sat down with a glass of blue-labeled whisky and looked at how Law was swayin’ to the music.

In the end, Giannini also joined him in dancing on the dance floor and even when they were walking outside. Well it was clear that Law have won the yacht.

The second time both went aboard, it was the other way round with Giancarlo’s turn to propose a buy-back of the yacht. Law replied back exactly the same words that Giannini had said to him before. What would Giannini propose to get back the yacht?

Watch the video below and find out:


According to Law: “The film is about improvement and progress and this is something I try to do in my work and life. I had to learn new skills through the shooting of this film and that, combined with the places we visited and shot in, alongside working with Jake and Giancarlo [Giannini], too, made it a truly rare experience.”

This experience is just in line with the character of Blue Label which is truly rare and unique; complex, powerful, incredibly smooth and retains the Johnnie Walker signature smokiness.
