Some Discussion on Wine (& Related Drinks)

Was a bit slow in updates lately due to work matters, wish it could be over soon & will try to update this blog as often as possible. A friend of mine sent me a mail recently with the following thoughts, I'm not sure how true it is but it's kinda funny so I decided to share.

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine...
And those who don't and are always
seen with a bottle of water in their hand.

As Ben Franklin said:
In wine there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials,
Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink
1 litre of water each day,
At the end of the year we would have absorbed
More than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria
Found in feces.
In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poo..

However,
We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer
(or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)
Because alcohol has to go through a purification process
Of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poo
Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
Than to drink water and be full of shit.

Please, take good care of yourself........

A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.

This means that the remaining 77% are caused by assholes who drink coffee, carbonated drinks, juices, yogurts, and crap like that.

Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents!!

P.S. I'm not sure how true it is, probably you can tell me? :) Anyway, it's true to enjoy drinks responsibly, regardless what kind of drink it is, cheers & have a nice day everyone~!

Food Fun

I was in Sabah recently on business trip & came to have lunch at one of the shops which serves famous "fish noodle soup". What's special about this dish is milk is added to the soup base; making it taste sweet & fragrant while the ingredients are really fresh. This dish is one of Sabah's recommended food to try on. Should one would like to have other soup base apart from milk, there's also tom yum & clear soup. Overall I'm giving it a 6.5/10.

Note: First three photos below are famous local recommendations from Sg Tiram Penang, which i stopped for dinner before making my way to the airport =)



Seafood porridge (must try!)

Toasted bread (sugared & buttered)

Dang-gui salted chicken (must try!)

The shop selling "milk-fish noodle", address of the shop is listed below.

Boss of the shop at work, busy preparing all their noodle orders

Star of the topic, milk-fish noodle soup.
The photo was abit unclear as it was snapped quickly (probably cuz I was too hungry,lol!)

 Do try it out at Lot 8, Ground Floor, 1-0-1, Kolam Centre Phase 3, 88300 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Cheers!!!

An Authentic Malaysian Cuisine

Myself & another friend had dinner recently at a restaurant in the "New World Park" eateries called the 'Sri Batik Nyonya Cafe' where as the name speaks for itself, serves various types of nyonya food. So, being a Malaysian myself, I guess it's fair to intro & share some of the local cuisines around with you.

The ambience is much similiar to the original 'Peranakan' settings, which I'm pretty impressed. On the quality of servings, I'll give a 6.5/10, abit of let down by the fried assam prawns as the prawns were of frozen, such made its texture 'not-so-succulent'. Overall I'll say it's worth trying though. Below are some of their recommendations:

 Curry Kapitan Chicken

 Fried Assam Prawns

Fried Mixed Greens 

'Choon Piah'

Give it a try if you like local cuisines! =)

Obama's "Tank"

Hi all,

How are you guys doing? Apologies for the late updates recently as I was 'battling' with a gum ache, apparently due to a fresh grown 'wisdom' tooth (at this age...) =P  Ok,enough about that, I was browsing through some other blog's pages yesterday & came to what I thought interesting. The US president, Mr Barack Obama is so concern about terrorism & his own safety that he travels around daily, in a tank!!! Don't believe me? Take a look.

This is one heck of a ride & it doesn't comes cheap too, many might not even live to earn up the cost of this 'tank' in their entire life. So guys, let's buck up (when Obama buckles up) & work our way there!

Craving for Japanese Food Again!!

Was in KL for business trip last week & rewarded with terrible cough & cold (still recuperating though). During the stay, I came to have dinner at a japanese restaurant called "Sakura Sakura Hakata" located in Subang Jaya (SJ), which serves I'll say, pretty commentable food.

Had a set of 'unagi bento' & sashimi to try out. To start with the 'chawan mushi', it tastes really smooth with a fragrant smell of steamed eggs. The greenies appetizer however, was rather different from those we used to have in other jap restaurants. The greens are topped with a home made (rather oriental) kind of sauce which tastes pretty nice.

The bento set came with quite generous portion; complete with tempuras & slices of salmon sashimi. The bento itself would be a satisfying meal but as much of a huge sashimi fan myself, I could not run away from trying it out. I think it fulfills most the criteria that's needed to make a fresh sashimi (& it's priced fairly reasonable). I'll give a 7.5/10 overall.

Try it out should you be happened to drop by KL. It's just about 15 minutes drive from the Subang airport.

"Promises Don't Come Easy" - by Caron Nightingale

This is a beautiful song that I'll like to share with all of you. I guess by listening to the lyrics reminds us alot of similar moments that could have happened, if not to all, but most of us. Anyway, do enjoy this all time favorite of mine. Cheers!

Applause to the best Malaysian Movie Ever Made!!

Hi all,

I know this comes a little late but to those of you who thought Malaysian movies are cheap productions or even not worth watching, please..do give 'Ice Kacang Puppy Love' a chance. Like most of you, I myself has never place any hope on local movies, but this one, by Aniu has given me another perception of what Malaysians can come up to (though not regularly). It was when I needed a good 'sleeping pill' when I discover that this movie actually has it's own side to be complimented. Good castings, brings out alot of Malaysian humors, cultures & shots of famous landmarks of the country. The story line is worth to pay attention too! Do give it a watch. Cheers!

P.S. Sorry I wasn't allowed to upload any of its posters due to copyright matter, but you won't miss it! :)
