Thoughts: In Japan, the Discount store chain Don Don Donki (in short DONKI ドンキ) is called "Don Quijote Co. Ltd 株式会社ドン・キホーテ". Don Quijote tends to keep very late hours for Japanese retailing (to 3 or 5am, or even 24 hours) and it packs its goods from ceiling to floor in a distinct merchandising strategy. Don Quijote opened its first store in 杉並區 Suginami, 東京 Tokyo in September 1980 under its original name and its first overseas operation is the 檀香山 Honolulu-based Don Quijo in 夏威夷 Hawaii which opened sometime in July of 2017 (in the same year where it also expanded its first operation to 東南亞 South East Asia). By the end of 2022, DONKI has over 160 locations throughout 日本 Japan, 3 in 夏威夷 Hawaii, 15 in 新加坡 Singapore, 6 in 泰國 Thailand, 9 in 香港 Hong Kong, 2 in 台灣 Taiwan, 3 in 馬來西亞 Malaysia, and 1 in 澳門 Macau and coming soon in 關島 Guam. Except for its Hawaiian operation which are called "Don Quijote", looks like to-date all of its other overseas operations are branded as DON DON DONKI:

DON DON DONKI's first debut in 東南亞 South East Asia overseas operations is on Dec 1, 2017 in the island of 新加坡 Singapore; and the Japanese retail chain instantly became very popular right away in Singapore from the moment it opened its first store in the country and there are now at least 15 locations in Singapore alone, making it DONKI's largest overseas operations today! As for Malaysia, it was about 2 years ago with the first Malaysia DONKI opened at KL's Lot 10.

After the slightly expensive Sushi lunch at DONKI's 鮮選壽司 Sen Sen Sushi, next is to try out some affordable Japanese food at DONKI. For some solid food it is a rm$11.90 "日式炸雞(唐揚げ)和玉子燒 Chicken Karaage and Tamagoyaki", comes with 3 pcs of 唐揚げ Karaage (日式炸雞 Japanese fried chicken) and 2 large cuts of 玉子燒 Tamagoyaki! Just like any food retail store, customer pick-up the readily pack Japanese food, snacks, or drinks; BUT here at DONKI after the EXIT, there is also a self-service Dine-in area with 30+ tables equipped with self-service plastics cutleries and microwave oven. The highchair wall table area also offers electrical charging pots with 3-pin + USB wall socket points.
Pronounced as ‘ka-RA-AH-geh’, the word 唐揚げ Karaage refers to a Japanese cooking technique in which an ingredient is lightly coated with flour and deep-fried in oil. Come in bite-size nuggets, Karaage is a classic dish you can find at any Japanese home, 便當飯盒 bento lunch box, street-side stalls, restaurants, and even convenience stores in Japan.
In Japanese, "Tamago" means "蛋 Egg" and "yaki" means "燒/烤 Grill", and therefore "Tamagoyaki" literally translates to "燒/烤蛋 Grilled egg" OR in Japanese, "玉子燒 pronounced as Tamagoyaki". This is a Japanese dish where eggs are thinly cooked and rolled; probably a dish that was born in the 17th and 18th centuries BUT only became popular in the 1950s when the government started to encourage parents to give more protein to their children, and the farmers started to keep more chickens.
Beer in Japan mostly comes from the country's four major breweries, 朝日 Asahi, 麒麟 Kirin, 札幌 Sapporo and 三得利 Suntory, which mainly produce pale lagers around 5% ABV. BUT I believe all of them also produces Bottled or Canned Coffees. Today's coffee in a bottle is a rm$10.90 "三得利老闆融化牛奶咖啡 Suntory Boss melting cafe au lait". With a 30 years history, BOSS (ボス, Bosu) is a brand name of canned and plastic bottled coffee and coffee-flavored beverages sold by 三得利 Suntory in Japan. BOSS is the No.1 Coffee-in-a-Can and the most popular canned coffee brand in Japan. You probably can find BOSS coffee cans (warm or chilled) in vending machines all over Japan!Food today: 7.5 / 10 👍👍👍😋😋
