About this Event
Grave of the Fireflies (1988) is one of the first films I watched by Studio Ghibli and this was when I was only 7-8 years old. I still believe this is one of the most underrated movies by this studio and want to share this with our diners as we indulge in a night of Shabu Shabu, a Japanese style hot pot.
IMDb plot synopsis:
The trials and tribulations of an older brother looking after his little sister in the midst of WWII-stricken-Japan. After an air-raid on their village, Setsuko and Seita struggle to look out for each other as the war reaches the end of its six-year-long devastation. How do children survive in a post-war society, and to what ends will they go to live peaceful lives, even as their world collapses around them?

It's Tram here from Mariposa Coffee Bar! I've been interested in food for as long as I can remember and recognize that one of my love languages involves feeding people. My love for food led me to co-create Mariposa, where we serve a simple menu of Cuban and Vietnamese goodies. I live to eat and strive to share more of that with my community. This is why I'm introducing Tram's Kitchen Sink, a time where I can be creative and play! It's a concept in which I compose a menu that tells a story about my food journey. With Mariposa as a venue, we will have both communal and private seating in a cozy setting making it feel like I'm cooking for you in my own home.
