Sorry

Sorry for the late posts..
it my vacation period , therefore i am a bit on relaxed mode.
but keep up with me and my updates on my latest reviews..

Cendol anyone?? (pt 3)

This mini lorry also serves laksa. They looked scrumptious. The broth smells superb.
But unfortunately i did not eat it as my tummy is full..









This is the broth soup made with fresh fish and cooked right before your eyes. Boiling and simmering hot ready to be served and eaten by YOU !..

Cendol anyone?? (pt 2)

Where it is situated?
Here are some clues..
the truck is parked at the opposite of JVC factory... which is where i took this picture..

Cendol anyone?? (pt 1)

Here in Shah Alam..(Which sec? God knows.. I am very bad with directions in Shah Alam honestly) i found a place that sells quite a sinful delicious tasting cendol. I have been trying to find a good stall/restaurant/any place that sells good cendol in KL. And finally, i found it but not really in KL... Situated next to the road side in Shah Alam.. Where? i'll show you the pictures where it is situated because i am bad with places in Shah Alam. hehe..
This humble establishment sells only cendol which you can eat as is, or you can opt for cendol which has tapai or pulut added to it(not my liking)...

A Statement to ponder and wonder..especially for smokers !

Here is a clear statement that you might need to ponder with your brain after reading it. Because if you don't , then you might be thinking that this statement is encouraging us to smoke...i think...haha...but after a few zaps on my brain.. only then i realized its' meaning..

Can't figure out still? Ask me..

Apple online store....

When i opened up my e-mail, i was greeted by this e-mail sent by Apple. Finally, Apple store is now in Malaysia. Here you can order almost all Apple products via online at the comfort of your own privacy without going through the hassles and troubles of shopping in malls. Shipments of products are estimated to take around 1 to 2 working days. So what are you waiting for...let's go shopping.. !

New MacBook Pro (part 3)

Apple's new aluminum precision unibody is really amazing i think. Why didn't they figure this out like way...long ago. Haha.. Congratulations to Apple for this amazing product. Love it...
And not to forget that the superdrive slot loading DVD's have been moved to the right side of the notebook while all ports, USB's have been moved to the left side. Bare in mind that the latch locking machanism has been replaced with magnetic latch that closes the computer with precision and crisp.






The new LED backlit LCD is to die for coupled with it's glossiness. The black outline on the LCD frame makes the notebook looks even sharper and very professional. Also as we can see, is the new black keypad as compared to the previous silver keypad on Apple's new notebooks. It provides simple yet smooth typing as equivalent to the previous keypad featured in their notebooks. Furthermore, Apple has also introduced the glass multi-touch trackpad. From single finger to four fingers usage, this whole trackpad also acts as the button.










Here it is downloading software updates, and the keypad also retained its lighting ambiance if you can see the keypads from this picture.














Sorry if there is any errors in my reviews. Do leave your comments and inform me if there is any errors and i'll edit it again..

Take care !

New MacBook Pro (part 2)

Here is Part 2 review of the new MacBook Pro 08'. As you can see, Apple has really done a nice job at reducing the packaging size of their new MacBook and MackBook Pro's as a part and effort to reduce carbon foot print and their way of reducing the green house effect. Typical as always is their unique and clean way of packaging their computers.













As you take your MacBook Pro out of it's box, there will be a plastic casing to place the MacBook on top of it and as you take that black plastic out of its box, you can see the Magsave adapter, cable and a black box containing all the softwares and simple instructions to help you start up with your Mac (new users).







As you can also see, Apple has reduced the size of its Magsafe adapter by at least 1/2 from it's original size (right) and the new Magsafe adapter (left).

New MacBook Pro ( part 1)

Ahh.. as promised in my previous post..
I will do a review for the new MacBook Pro. Sorry for the long delay as it is not out in Malaysia yet that is until i found it was sold in a Mac store in Low Yat Plaza last thursday. According to them, they have been selling this notebook for the past 3 weeks. I was very annoyed to know this fact because i have been searching for this machine since the day it was launched. When i called in Machines (Apple products premium reseller), amazingly they haven't received any stocks on the MacBook Pro's yet. I wonder why...


As soon i got to know that this shop is selling the new Macbook Pro's , i just couldn't resist buying it besides the fact that it was the last stock for the 2.4 GHz configuration. If i postpone, i don't know when will i be getting it (or will i ever be).

As my old MacBook Pro is from the 1st generation Intel core duo and Apple notebooks are a bit off the budget for a student like me, i have to wait until Apple revamps the whole notebook series and only then will i opt for buying a new Mac notebooks. Don't get me wrong, i love Apple so much. It's just the money part that is not on my luck. hehe.. Nevermind that, now i've bought the new MacBook Pro and above are the comparisons for the boxes between the 1st generation and the latest generation of MAcBook Pro's.

Last devil

Ahh..
The last time you'll get to see this decadent , sweet, sinful desert in Chili's. You'll forever be remembered in my heart. This desert is called Hi and Mighty pie. Now it has been replaced with the Molten white chocolate cake which is delicious yet very very sweet in my opinion. Enough to make you go crazy. You can indulge in this sinful desert but NOT ALWAYS. But hey.. u can if you want to eat it everyday but you might get diebetes sooner than expected. haha

My gadgets !

These are my MOST important gadget that has played a very important role in my life. My 1st Gen. Intel core duo Macbook Pro (soon gonna be history) and my iMac. Not pictured here is my iPod....Yes, i'm an Apple freak since i've moved from PC. hehe. In fact, my whole family has at least an Apple product.

You won't regret it !
Choose Apple and be Happy !

At starbucks...

What better way (although wasting) to relax and suck up all the knowledge while drinking my green tea latte and surf for free.... Yummy !

I'm back...

Hi everyone..
i'm back from the cemetery after a PERIOD of resting in peace !
haha...

As you can see...
Apple, recently have launched their new line of notebooks. For a tech geek like me. It's a must have. The MacBook Pro is now thinner and has been given sleeker looks. Better graphics , Hard dick oops.. disk and better RAM. Of course for those who are rich enough, you can opt for the SSD or solid state drive. I'm planning to buy the 15" MacBook Pro soon and of course if i have the money... The price starts from RM 7199 to RM 8999. This is the future i should say... Can't wait and counting the days when it'll be launched in Malaysia.




And for those of you who are looking for notebooks that are cheaper than MacBook Pro and that doesn't dry your pocket up...
You can opt for the MacBook instead. Being resurrected again in new sleek aluminium and glossy glass looks like its MacBook Pro brother, this notebook starts from RM 4799 to RM 5899.




Why should you buy a MAC you may ask me:
1) No need to be scared of viruses
2)Powerful and compact
3) Hard to use? no no.. With new intel chips inside and lots of compatible,easy to find softwares.
4) you'll feel proud of showing your MAC around without feeling guilty like when you were using PC's before.

HEre are the websites you can visit if you are looking for specs for both notebooks, just copy and paste the URL:
1) http://www.applemalaysia.com.my/macbook/specs.html (MacBook)
2) http://www.applemalaysia.com.my/macbookpro/specs.html (MacBook Pro)

or you can visit (www.machines.com.my) for more info on any other MACs or for further inquiries since they are the premium reseller for Apple products in Malaysia.

PS: **I have made the right choice into migrating to a MAC.
If you have any probss. you can ask me and i'll be happy to help you out.**

Under construction...

I'll be back with more posts.. Currently i'm trying to update my blog into a better and new blog. Latest addition will include the restaurants atmosphere, addresses and much more..So hope you'll enjoy my blog and do leave your comments. Take care

Bubba Gump.... Part 5

The most decadent part about Bubba Gump is their dessert. Especially this one, it's called that chocolate thing. I wonder why such name... Nevertheless, It is moist and succulent chocolate cake baked and served with vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream. This dessert is to die for... A must try for choco-holics out there...









This is the Alabama Mud pie. 100% ice cream pie truth is. Topped with peanuts and loads of whipped cream. This pie is huge and the chocolate flavored ice cream is mixed with sneakers bar in bite-size pieces. How wonderful is that?..


So come down to Bubba Gump and try their wonderful menu's. There is always something new in every bite....

Bubba Gump... Part 4

Ah, part 4... i hope you can bear with me because it is quite long...after all i need to cover most of their menu's. This meal, i forgot the name and i'm really sorry. It consist of soft lobster tails and prawns deep fried with cajun. It is served over a bed of fries in a bucket. Unique i have to say. But it is a bit salty and i was worried about my blood pressure. But hey, again, once in a while is ok. No worries...












This is the New York Strip steak, Looks tempting and delicious. The mash baked potatoes is baked with Monterey cheese and it is really tasty. The meat though is a bit disappointing, it was rubbery and not so juicy and tender as i expected it to be. But it was ok overall. I love their onion rings. Golden brown and crispy.

Bubba Gump... Part 3

This is the the prawn and linguini pasta. Juicy whole prawns skinless of course, cooked with a lemon and garlic tossed with linguine and served with garlic bread. The lemon garlic sauce really compliments the tender, juicy prawns. Not to mention, they were very generous with the amount of prawns there. This meal is very balanced in terms of sourness and sweetness. Yummy...




This is the restaurants famous dish, Baramundi with mash potatoes and prawns served with Bubba Gump's special sauce topped with tortilla chips. This dish is sinful and extremely tasty and of course fattening. But hey, no food will ever be delicious without any fat. Don't forget to order this dish if you are planning to visit Babba Gump soon...






This is the famous shrimp platter. I would recommend this menu for those who can't decide to order whats on the menu. But this dish can be shared for 2 persons as it is big in portion. There is enough types of prawns to cover the whole menu and the dish that they are serving in this restaurant mostly. There is the deep fried tempura, coconut coated deep fried, bread crumb deep fried and the simple steamed prawns. They are served with cocktail sauce, sweet sauce (Bubba Gump's speciality) and the Tempura Soya sauce. It is also served with a bed of French fries and coleslaw...yummy yet again..








This is prawns stuffed with crab meat and baked with monterey cheese served with rice and Parmesan cheese bread. This dish although it is the waiters recommendation, but i have to say it is a bit of disappointment. This dish is very rich and i have to say decadent too. But the flavor is missing. Something lacks in this dish. But you can give it a try though and give me your comments about this dish.



So i will post part 4 this evening after i finish my gym training. So keep reading and do leave your comments and critiques. Enjoy..

Bubba Gump... Part 2

Here is the desert menu which i thought was quite interesting. It's attached on a ping pong bat. The table setting was ok but it was a bit cramp up. I wish there was a bit more space. But overall, the place was good and and hectic.













The other interesting part about this restaurant, whenever you need to get any service from the waiters, just flash these red "STOP FOREST STOP" sign and almost immediately the will approach your table and ask what can they do for you.






AS for this sign, if you don't need any help or services from the waiters and waitresses, then simply leave this blue on and you can enjoy your meal peacefully..








The table setting was nice except for the fact that this bucket where they place the sauces is a bit large and some parts of the table was wasted therefore disturbing our feast. But the rest was yet again good.

Bubba Gump... Part 1

Today i went to visit the first Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Malaysia situated at the curve in Mutiara Damansara. Seriously i had no idea at first about what to order since this restaurant is new to me. The first idea that came to me was, to order their specialty which is shrimp. Is you're a shrimp lover, then Bubba Gump is the place for you.













The drinks shown here, which i highly recommend you is the blueberry smoothie. It's different than any other drinks that i have drank which contains blueberries in it. It's yummy ! and a must try for new comers to this place. The glass behind is the mango specialty. It contains mango juice, lime, sparkling water. A real thirst quencher..












This is our appetizer, Onion rings. First we thought it was the normal sized onions. But the moment we got our appetizer, our jaw dropped looking at huge, chunky, golden brown onion rings. It's very juicy as the onions are huge. The onions are stacked together on a pole. The onion rings were served with 2 choices of sauces. Barbecue and Bubba Gump's special dipping sauce...

Bounty-full

When it comes to beef ribs, you can always count on Tony Roma's to tantalize your taste buds with his bountiful beef ribs. Not only is it cheaper compared with Victoria Station or Jake's, but it is so tasty and scrumptious like those expensive steaks you can find in those exclusive restaurants. You can choose this ribs with or without its bones. In my opinion, its better if you take the ribs with their bones together because you'll end up getting more meat compared to the boneless one's.

When ordering this meal, you can choose any two side dishes to accompany your beef ribs. You can choose from corn on the cob, French fries, baked potatoes, coleslaw and much more.




As a tradition, you'll be given the famous Tony Roma's barbecue sauces to dip that juicy, tender beef or you can savor your beef just as it is and don't forget to get those bips on before you make your way into the beef ribs...

This is a must try for newbies to this restaurant...

Mdm. Kwan's

Yesterday i went to visit Madam Kwan's restaurant situated in KLCC or Kuala Lumpur City Center at level 4 next to Petrosains. This restaurant have been a place where food lovers would go to savor the great tasting dishes from local to international cuisines.

For starters , pictured here is the deep fried prawn fritters. Served with tartar sauce, and garnished with garden vegetables. The prawn's size portion is just nice, it's tender and yummy...




This dish is called Nasi Bojari or Bojari rice. This is one of the best seller in Madam Kwan's. A must try for those planning to visit Madam Kwan's for the first time. Fragrant Bojari rice served with whole chicken thigh and drumstick accompanied by beef rendang and acar udang. The side dishes really compliments the rice. I have to warn though, the chicken is huge..





Next is the Malaysian all time favourites, the chicken rice or nasi ayam in malay. Of course you can get other types of chicken rice outside, but what makes this chicken rice different from other chicken rice is that it is served with soft shitake mushrooms. Therefore it is called mushroom chicken rice. The chicken is steamed and served with a light soya sauce. This dish is also accompanied with 2 other sauces which is the chilli paste and garlic sauce. The chicken is extremely tender and it melts in your mouth. ahh...




This dish is called Cantonese Kuey tiaw. Its simple, healthy and filling. The Kuey tiaw is first fried up with soya sauce before the gravy is made. The gravy is made out of either chicken or beef stock, eggs, and corn flour for the thickening agent. There is huge chunks of chicken, skinless prawns and squids. It is eaten simply the way it is or accompanied by cut chillies (extremely HOT!) in soya sauce.

Difference between speaking and listening

Its amazing how our brain perceives what is spoken to us. Wrong message could give others the wrong idea's...

On a recent visit to Langkawi Island with my friend, i continued my journey searching for great places that serves scrumptious foods on this hot n sunny island besides the typical activity which is shopping. Not far away from where i am staying, situated in Pantai Cenang, is a restaurant called Rasa. With a Balinese infused concept blended with local malay settings, this place is decent and relaxing. Besides that, they produce good foods at an affordable price.




There is a special place right outside the restaurant created specially for barbecuing fresh seafoods such as Tiger prawns, crabs and a variety of fishes for customers to choose from. Here customers choose their seafoods first before the type of cooking is being chosen. Customers can simply barbeque it or let it be cooked by the chef.






Pictured here is the Garlic butter prawn. Deep fried with a special batter, this prawn is later cooked with garlic butter sauce to accompany the prawns. Believe me, it is very delicious.









This is deep fried squid served with sweet Thai chili sauce. Simple food yet very filling. I recommend this meal to be accompanied with any kind of fried rice or just plain steamed rice.








What would a trip to Malaysia be (tourist) without ever tasting the famous Char Kuey Tiaw. Cooked in soya sauce, this is the all time favorites by local Malaysians. A must have on the list when tourist are planning to visit Malaysia.






Therefore, those who are planning to visit Langkawi should pay a visit to Rasa restaurant situated in Pantai Cenang. It's situated right next to the road and can easily be spotted.

Haagen Daz...

When I'm having sugar cravings, the place i would recommend and visit would be Haagen Daz. Nothing beats Haagen Daz for having the best ice cream in the world. Pictured above are warm Belgian waffles served with 2 scoops of ice cream, What a beginning to treat those sugar cravings of mine. "yummy.." But for those of you who are looking for a guilt free ice cream, i would recommend their fruit sorbets. At first you may thought it will be sour, but i reckon visitors to try it out because it is very delicious even though it is reduced in fat. The taste is simply out of this world. Picture below is the sorbet i was talking about. Try it out and you won't regret it..
