There were food sampler stations everywhere! The Aunties manning the various stations were very generous and it's almost like a FREE food fair. Had corn chocolate, healthy Yam juice, peppermint candy, melon chocolate, pumpkin soup...
I checked out the horse oil counter. Predictably, it was not very popular. There was a TV at the counter showing happy healthy horses galloping away in green fields but I think you need more that that to convince Singaporeans when you’re selling skincare.
Isetan imported a sushi master and he was stationed at the supermarket, so I had Surprise! Surprise! Mouth Watering Fresh Scallop Sushi!
I bought an Otaru Sweet Potato cake, but didn't get to try it as the Parents had it for breakfast before I woke up. I didn’t buy the biscuits after all which were too expensive. Hai! Disappointment in both instances though I’m happy the Parents liked the cake (they said it was "not bad" which means "quite alright!").
I also bought packets of pumpkin and Hokkaido potato flakes.
Mix the flakes with milk and water, and stir repeatedly, and you get pumpkin soup, or potato soup. The imported-from-Japan salesman was very funny. He pointed to the flakes and stated firmly.. Salad..Oishi… Soup-p…Oishi … Ice-ce Creame…Oishi… Cak-ke…Oishi. Multipurpose flakes will transform me into a master chef yet.

"Not bad" means "very good" from our parents, who hate to dole out any kind of praise.
