'Flying Roti Canai' Steals The Spotlight At Osaka Expo 2025
Subscribe to our FREE Visitors at Japan's 2025 Osaka Expo were captivated by a culinary performance in the Malaysia Pavilion as one of the most popular foods here passed with 'flying' colours in the eyes of food lovers. Spectators were treated to a show where roti canai dough was spun in the air while a delectable buttery aroma wafted across the space to attract an even bigger crowd. According to a Mohammad Muiz, sharing the response he recieved from visitors, said 'Many have praised the deliciousness of roti canai and given very positive feedback, both in terms of taste and our presentation'. Tudiaaaa Anak Pokok Sena buat persembahan menebar dan menerbangkan roti canai, di Kotaraya Osaka Jepun, sampai orang Jepun terpegun dan terpukau. Terima kasih sahabatku Mr Anizam Faezah yang hantar video ini. Terbaik Adik Muiz Ruzaini 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 He commented that many Japanese would come up and say 'Oishi' (delicious), and repeat the word as many as seven times. Interestingly, most of the visitors he received were from Japan, South Korea, and China. The Kedah local said he did not expect to be selected as part of the Malaysian delegation to the Expo 2025 in Osaka. Each of the roti canai was served with chicken curry and dhal for 1,680 yen (RM49.82). That's a pretty steep price for roti canai. We should thank our lucky stars we can enjoy the dish here for less than a fraction of that price! Despite the price, the roti canai champions reached an average sale of of 1,000 to 1,600 pieces per day at the expo. Roti canai is not just about performance, it has tons of variety too Being such a versatile dish with only a simple mixture of flour, water, salt, and butter, roti canai can and has been combined with many other food ingredients. Sometimes, with really odd choices as well. Want a roti canai that is more savoury and has more protein? There's roti telur. Or make it a double and order roti jantan (two eggs). If you prefer something sweet and chocolatey, you can ask for roti Milo (a childhood favourite). That's right, you can have roti canai with almost anything you can think of, provided the chef has the ingredients available. Get them to add onions, cheese, or even bananas. The list of combos are almost limitless! READ MORE: What is the Osaka Expo 2025? Malaysia Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025. Image: Expo 2025 Expo 2025 is a World Expo hosted in Osaka, Japan.

Dogen City: Japan's Conceptual Floating Metropolis
Without dramatic reductions in greenhouse emissions, it is estimated that up to 300 million people across the world will be at risk of annual coastal flooding by 2050. One company looking to combat the effects of climate change and stay on top of rising sea levels is the Japanese design firm N-Ark. It has proposed creating Dogen City, a hugely ambitious smart healthcare floating city with a two-layer design. The top will house a self-sufficient maritime city, while the undersea layer will feature a sea-cooled data center for city management, healthcare and drug discovery. List of Contents: A Vision for the Future of Urban Living Floating City Projects Around the World Related Posts Floating City Offers Though-Provoking Vision for the Future of Urban Living The project is still in the conceptual stage and there's a good chance it will never come to fruition. Whether it does or not, though, it certainly offers a thought-provoking vision of the future of urban living. The goal is to create a resilient and adaptable urban environment that provides an alternative to land-based cities. Instead of fighting against the rising tides, N-Ark's floating city will be designed to adapt to changing water levels. It is being proposed as a solution to help protect vulnerable areas from the effects of coastal erosion, increased flood frequency and saltwater intrusion. According to N-Ark's homepage , Dogen City will measure approximately 1 mile (1.58 kilometers) in diameter and about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) in circumference. It will be able to accommodate around 10,000 residents , plus around 30,000 visitors at a time. There will be schools, hospitals, offices, sports areas, parks and food production facilities. A circular structure, N-Ark says it will be designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and even tsunamis. It has also proposed building a spacecraft launch site. There has yet to be any announcement regarding a potential location or the likely cost of the project. The company is aiming to have it completed by 2030. Floating City Projects Around the World There are several floating city projects either underway or being planned around the world. This includes Oceanix Busan in South Korea, which reportedly has a scalable design that will allow for future expansion to house up to 100,000 aim is for the ambitious city to be ready before 2030, the year in which Busan hopes to host World Expo. The floating city in the Maldives, meanwhile, is starting to take shape. The city, which will consist of 5,000 units including homes, restaurants, shops and schools, is expected to be completed by 2027.

‘Phantom expo' ticket from 1940 grants man access to Osaka 2025 world fair
Japanese man managed to gain entry to the Osaka Expo 2025 using an 85-year-old ticket to a world fair that was cancelled because of World War II. Advertisement Fumiya Takenawa, a collector of expo-related memorabilia, bought the ticket to the 1940 Grand International Exposition of Japan online in March. Often referred to as the 'phantom expo', the 1940 event was set to take place in Tokyo but was indefinitely postponed as the war intensified. One million ticket booklets, each containing 12 tickets, went on sale in 1938 for 10 yen, or around 17,000 yen (US$118) in today's currency, according to The Mainichi. Amid the chaos of the war, ticket holders were unable to claim refunds. Takenawa, 25, initially kept the ticket in a display case at home, but later began to wonder if it could still be used for the upcoming expo. When he contacted the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, he was told that if the ticket was authentic and met the conditions, it would be honoured. Advertisement This was in line with past policies of issuing 'invitation tickets' to holders of the 1940 passes, the Osaka 2025 Expo organisers told The Japan Times on Monday. An estimated 3,000 were redeemed at the 1970 Osaka Expo and about 100 at the 2005 Aichi Expo.
