Japanese Animee

Episode Poster

Set Location : Taro Ramen, Low Yat Plaza

(L-R) Alvin Ng, Director & Michael Wong, Creative Consultant debating on who to cast as lead roles in this episode.

1st Lead Cast : Sapporro Ramen

2nd Lead Cast : Beef Ramen

Support Cast : Fried Dumpling

Desert Drink #3 : Tong Yuen

Rating : 3 stars. Planned for a short commercial but ended up with a full episode. Storyboard was swiftly rewritten and producer and director wasted no time in casting the roles. Options weren't aplenty and the Ramen bothers, Sapporro and Beef, were cast as lead roles. Acting was good but did not match the whopping salary that ensued, RM17++ per sibling. The support role played by Fried Dumpling was well... support role. Creative Consultant's attempt to cast a Chinese in a Japanese role was not as well received as Memoirs and merely reduced it to a side show that cost RM7.
