Kitchen Creatures

I last went to Kitchen Creatures a few months back and ate the following, yes, it took me that long to finally post something up. Not because I’m lazy (not all the time…), just that I totally forgot about it until I was cleaning up the folders on my computer when I stumbled upon this and realized that I’ve not blogged about it yet.

It was a Tuesday when I invited Yana to join me for dinner before I set up for my so-called deejay session at Bernard’s for Salsa with initial plans to dine at Bernard’s but realized that the restaurant is not halal so we went over to Kitchen Creatures instead. The first thing we ordered was a Monster Glass of Coke for myself and a Limey George for her, which is a combination of Ribenna, Sprite and Lemon. Check out how big the Monster Glass is compared to the normal glass of Limey George. (more…)

Samsung NX100 – A Review

Samsung and Advertlets was kind enough to provide me with a Samsung NX100 to play with for a week, this little baby will cost you RM2,299 (it comes with a 20-50mm kit lens) and is available at all retailers in Malaysia. It’s the sister to the dSLR-like NX10 that Samsung had in the market. Now spotting a smaller form factor, it still packs a long list of features to give it’s rivals the E-P2, NEX and GF1 a run for their money.

Let’s talk about the look and feel of the body first before we dwell on the technology that it packs. Light and small, it’s a fantastic camera to bring around when you don’t want to carry a huge dSLR around. What I don’t like about the camera is, there’s no pop-up flash like it’s sister the NX10. It’s inconvenient especially when we wish to use it in low light conditions and realize that the camera with the kit lens just wouldn’t cut it and we can’t rely on a pop-up flash. Also, I believe it could also be a marketing thing as then they can sell you the SEF-15A flash which provides you with a similar output to the built-in units in most DSLRs. (more…)

Cut Throat @ PJ Seafood Restaurant

This is one of the harshest post that’ll ever appear on this site, I can’t help but being disappoint with the food there and I don’t normally mess around when it comes to food. It had been awhile since my family last came here for dinner and so we thought that it’ll be a nice place to go to celebrate my dad’s birthday which is actually today! So … HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

We arrived at the restaurant about 7ish, normally by then, there would be a lot of people but it wasn’t so on that night. Found a spot to seat, menu was given and the Manager was trying to recommend (but it was more like trying to push) some of their dishes and we made our choices.

These are the food we ordered, I don’t really know the names of the dishes so I’ll just comment on them without the names. (more…)

Wing Kee Famous Ipoh Hor Fun @ Changi Village Food Court

Having made my one and only trip to Changi Village, I got the chance to eat the famous Ipoh Hor Fun stall at the Changi Village Food Court. Why I say it was famous? The people that was waiting in line in front of the Wing Kee (Since 1976) stall made me think of it like that.

As I walked into the food court, the one thing that caught my attention was this long line of people in front of the stall compared to the many other stalls in the premise. My friends asked me what I want to eat but even before they asked me, I already made up my mind wanting to give it a try, after all, that stall’s window was plastered with food reviews from the likes of Makan Sutra and many others.

After getting our spots in the place, off I went and got myself in line and within 15minutes or so, it was my turn to order. It was plain simple, just say the number that’s written next to the food photo and that’s it, the gentleman standing in front of me will promptly say the name of the dish and ask for money. The amazing thing is, he say the name of the dish so softly yet the cook behind the window was able to hear him. Even I had a hard time hearing what he said especially in the noisy environment we were in. (more…)
