Lifestyle: My New Proton Saga


Hey folks,

I am back once again and this time, I would like to welcome my new baby! Of course it's a new car and not a new girlfriend! Please do not misunderstanding. :) Of course, I have chosen Proton Saga as my choice and it seems this car is nice and grand too. I love the interior inside and outside too. The outside looks like Mercedes C class while the front part looks like Audi bodykit. The side and rear part of this car looks similiar to Vios and I can say this is Proton's most successful car in terms of the design history. I have chosen Granite Grey as my preferred colour.

So far, I have tested my car and I found out that the pickup is pretty slow maybe due to engine is still new and not smooth yet. Overall, it's comfortable to sit in. I will share with you in more detail next time about the fuel consumption. Overall, I love my new car very much and of course that to some of the forumers, who gave a lot of comments about the car and I truly appreciate that. Unfortunately due to security reasons, I am unable to review my car plate too. PM me if you wanted to buy Magnum, Toto and Pan Malaysian Pools. Haha! Only strictly for non-muslims only ok!

For those who had bought SAGA recently before I did, do also share your taught in my forum as we can share out our opinions towards this car. Last but not least, I would like to thank my salesman En. Kamal from Biogress Auto Sdn. Bhd. for helping me a lot in getting my new car. In the process, I did hit lots of problems especially in the insurance part and it had solved completely. I would also like to thank my family who also played their major part in helping to solve my insurance issues. Other than that, everything went on very smooth. Enjoy! :)

Food Hunt: Penang Recipe, 1 Utama Shopping Complex


Hello folks,

Welcome back to yet another edition of the Food Hunt where ME & Kimmy is back in action again. This week is definately a busy week for me too because I need to settle my car stuff. Well, still I cannot ignore the food hunt where I still would love to try out new food and of course introduce to you fellow visitors, who had been very loyal to surf my blog. Thanks a much for that! If you're here for the first time, I would like to welcome you and do enjoy the food hunt updates from time to time.

I am at 1 Utama and after watching movie, ME & Kimmy had decided to try out Penang Food again and this time we had chosen Penang Recipe as our choice. This is the first time we are here and without any hesitation, we will try out its specialities over here. I've ordered Nasi Lemak with Pandan Rice Curry Chicken (RM8.50) while Kimmy ordered Assam Laksa (RM6.50). For drinks, I've ordered Penang White Coffee Ice (RM2.80) and Kimmy ordered Homemade Longan Juice (RM2.50).

Let's go straight to the food comments. The Nasi Lemak with Pandan Rice Curry Chicken was just average. There's nothing special about it and it's pretty normal. The only special is the Pandan Rice and in my opinion, the rice is also just normal only. I would say Old Town Nasi Lemak is much more better. For Kimmy's Assam Laksa, it was somehow average too as the soup is a pretty sour. You need to add a lot of Prawn Paste into it to cover the sour taste. For drinks, both also just normal and nothing special about it. The price meanwhile is average as it's not too expensive nor cheap too (RM20.60 including tax). If you are there, you can try it out but I would not recommend you to try it out as there's nothing special about it. The weird thing is how they can actually get good grades from TV3's show Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan and 988 DJ as well. MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5

My Comments: Welcome back to another edition of movie review where ME & Kimmy watched movie today at GSC at 1 Utama after we skipped a week of movie action. This is because I am very busy with my personal things and I do not have time to watch movie last week. This week, we have chosen a martial arts movie and it promises to be an entertaining movie to watch. Starring Donnie Yen, this movie is called Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen. This movie is totally great with of course a lot of fight as well as brutal killings and love is in the air too. The combination makes this movie a must watch too. I've receive average response on this movie and not many say it's nice. But for me it's a totally different story. Maybe some of you would have taught that this movie is similiar to previous Donnie Yen's movie IP MAN and you are absolutely right. It's pretty similiar to IP MAN but this movie is much more aggresive compared to IP MAN. The storyline doesn't run too much and of course you would have guess how the storyline goes. The only thing that I dislikes is the ending. The ending is still the same although Donnie Yen had won the battle and I guess there will be second episode as well. There are love, jokes and the most would be brutal fight and killings which makes this movie very sad at times and some might have cried. It's a 18SG movie too. I would recommend you to watch this movie as it would not dissapoints you. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Lifestyle: My Last Day @ Proton Wira

Hi All,

I would like to say BYE BYE to my beloved Proton Wira after I have bought for 5 years as a second hand user. It was a reliable car until the 3rd year where it already has many problems. The maintenance is very high every month and this is very discouraging for me to continue using the car.

I bought it for RM32,500 in 5 years back and now I have sold it for RM9,000. A buyer has purchase it and if you see this car on the road, remember it's not me now and do let me know where you saw it somewhere. Attached is some pictures for you to see and do leave me a feedback. Once again, goodbye my beloved Proton Wira.

Food Hunt: Face To Face Noodle House (面对面), Bandar Puteri Puchong


Hi All,

After such a long time we did not go for food hunt because I am very busy to settle my car stuffs, finally I am back again and this time, Puchong is our destination for the food hunt. Me & Kimmy had went to Giant Bandar Puteri to settle my car stuffs and then after that we went for a short food hunt. Of course, we have chosen Face To Face Noodle House (面对面) as our choice here.

Once we arrived at about 6.15pm, there's very less people and only 2 tables were seated with people. Immedietely we were served and then we looked at the menu. For your information, this restaurant serves different types and flavours of Pan Mee and you will simply love it. I've ordered Chef Special Dried Chilli Pan Mee (RM5.80) with Honey Lemon Ice (RM3.80) while Kimmy ordered Pan Mee with Dumpling Soup (RM6.80) with Honey Lemon Ice (RM3.80) too.

The food were immedietely served within 10 minutes and it was pretty fast too. And of course we shall go straight to the food comments. The Chef Special Dried Chilli Pan Mee was absolutely nice too. The Pan Mee with Egg was eventually looked very plain until you add the chilli flakes that was prepared on the table. You need to add the chilli flakes and mix with the pan mee and whoahhh! It was absolutely nice! I simply love the taste as it was hot and spicy too just like Kin Kin Pan Mee. The chilli flakes is up to us whether we can take how spicy it is. I can tell you, this is must a try as it was absolutely good. Pleasee see pictures.

Meanwhile for Kimmy's Pan Mee with Dumpling Soup, she told alexleow-kimmy.com that it was nice too especially the pan mee which is very tasty. The soup was good and absolutely a good dish to try. The Honey Lemon Ice was nice too. It's worth a try for every single food that we've introduce just now and the price was very reasonable too. The total bill came and it's just only RM17.60 (NO TAX) and please be also remembered that this restaurant is also equipped with air conditioned and you will be comfortably sitting inside it. With the price and the environment, this restaurant is definately a must visit and do try out their other pan mee flavours too. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

Festival: Malaysia Day



Hi All,

First & Foremost, I would like to wish all Malaysians a Happy Malaysia Day and this is the first time, the Malaysian Government had declared a public holiday on September 16. A lot of people asked me what is Malaysia Day is all about? Actually, Malaysia Day is a day to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia. The formation of the new federation was planned to occur on June 1, 1963, but was later postponed to August 31, 1963, in order to coincide with the sixth Hari Merdeka. Several issues related to the Indonesian and the Filipino objection to the formation of Malaysia delayed the declaration to September 16 of the same year. The postponement was also done to allow the United Nations team time to conduct referendums in North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak regarding the two states participation in a new federation.

The formation of Malaysia was made possible through the introduction of the Malaysia Bill to the Malayan Parliament on July 9, 1963, and consent from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on August 29, 1963. Prior to the formation of Malaysia, Singapore and North Borneo unilaterally declared independence from the United Kingdom on August 31, 1963, thus coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the Malayan independence. Beginning year 2010, September 16 is a federal public holiday. It coincides with the birthday of the Yang di-Pertua of Sabah.

That's what Malaysia Day is all about. It also involves about history of Malaysia and it's more into East Malaysia. Well, it's a day of joyous for all, where it's a public holiday. Enjoy your holidays and drive safely.

TVB Variety Show: Super Trio Game Master (超級遊戲獎門人)



Release Date: 18th April 2010
Episodes: 25 (Subject To Change)
Genre: Game Show
Hosts: Eric Tsang, Chin Ka Lok, King Kong, Elvina Kong, Otto @ EO2
Channel Airing: Astro Wah lai Toi (CH 311), Saturday 9.00pm

My Comments:

This Game Show had been my favourite of all time and of course I believe many of you especially the Chinese Community would love this game show. Hosted by the all time favourite and funniest actor Eric Tsang and his helper Chin Ka Lok, this game show are back in television screens and many will be talking about this game show again. This time, they have new members / hosts that supported this game show including King Kong, Elvina Kong and Otto @ EO2. This is also the first time where Elvina Kong (female) featured as a hostress for the game show and it never happened before.

As usual, this game serves its viewers with some mild hardcore and of course some funny games that will leave the contestants having a torrid time and of course making home and studio viewers laughing off their chairs. The participants that came into this show must have courage and able to handle jokes and challenges. There are several segments that are shown in this game show including burst the balloons, guess the song, sushi game, IQ questions, guess the word and so on. The final round where one of the winners of the group will be entitled to play this bonus round and it's call bowling. Contestants will put the fish ball into the mouth and then it acts as a bowling ball and then should towards the bowling pins. It was a fun game though and the group memebers who scored 50 points (depending on Eric Tsang rules where it might be different on each episode) will win a luxury car.

Overall, this game show would definately lighten up your life and brighten up your day as it was supper funny to the max. It's now currently airing on Astro Wah Lai Toi (CH 311), every Saturday at 9.00pm and do enjoy the game show. I can ensure you will laugh off your chair and you will be entertained by the 4 great hosts throughout the shows as well. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

Food Hunt: Kenny Rogers Roasters, Tropicana City Mall


Hi All,

Welcome back to yet another beautiful weekend where ME & Kimmy had go for yet another food hunt right here in Petaling Jaya. After finish watching movie, we've added yet another food collection album where we have selected Kenny Rogers Roasters as our selection as ME & Kimmy had never tried it for such a long time already.

After watching movie, we arrived at about 7.00pm and the place has yet to get crowded and only 2 tables were occupied. In fact, the workers there are very less because that time we went, many workers were on Raya leave according to the cashier. Only 2 workers can be seen for the whole restaurant serving customers and of course, when it get crowded, then they will have a torrid time and you patrons will surely complaint of the slow service.

After considering looking at the menu, finally ME & Kimmy had made a decision on the food that we've chosen. I've chosen the Balinese 1/4 Chicken Set which comes with 3 side dishes together with a muffin. Kimmy had chosen Black Pepper 1/4 Chicken Meal which also comes with 3 side dishes together with a muffin. For side dishes, I've chosen Coleslaw, Mashed Potato and Golden Corn with carrot while Kimmy had chosen Mashed Potato, Big Pieces Of Tomato and Salad Beans as her side dishes. For the muffin, I've chosen Chocolate Muffin while Kimmy had chosen Vanilla Muffin. There's also another flavour called the Banana Muffin. We've ordered 2 glass of iced water. The food came pretty fast also due to less people that time and it took about 10 minutes for us to get served.


Now the best part is the introduction of the food taste. The Balinese 1/4 Chicken Set was a big hit as it really contains the Balinese style in terms of the sauce that surrounds the chicken. The sauce was spicy and sweet too and it suits my taste. You may look at the mouth watering pictures. For the 3 side dishes, the coleslaw was nice together with the mashed potato and the best would be the Golden Corn and Carrot as the Corn was very sweet too. For Kimmy's Black Pepper 1/4 Chicken Meal was above average too. But the taste was just spicy and could not tastes the Black Pepper smell much. For the side dishes, the Big Pieces Of Tomato and the Mashed Potato was good but the Salad Beans was just average and not so nice. For the side dishes, there are a lot to choose from as I've tried some of them only. Perhaps next time, you can try other side dishes to compare and I will perhaps next visit. The muffin meanwhile was absolutely delicious especially for the Chocolate Muffin that I've ordered but not the Vanilla Muffin which was just so-so only.

The bill came and it was almost same price as Nando's. The Balinese 1/4 Chicken set costs RM16.90 while the Black Pepper 1/4 Chicken Set costs RM15.90 and the total bill is RM37.00++ including the service and government tax. The Iced Water was free of charge. The portion of the chicken if pretty small compared to Nando's if we compared with the 1/4 chicken set. But the side dishes of Kenny Rogers is better than Nando's and both have its pros and cons too. Overall, the food can be rated as good and I would recommend you to try out Kenny Rogers if you haven't do so. Do log on to their website http://www.krr.com.my/ where they also accepts delivery services as well. Enjoy your meal! :) MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5

Cinema Movie: Piranha


Release Date: 2 September 2010
Language: English
Genre: Horror, Thriller
Running Time: 1 hour 19 minutes
Director: Alexandre Aja
Cast: Elisabeth Shue, Christopher Lloyd, Jerry O'Connell, Jessica Szohr.


Synopsis:

In Lake Victoria Arizona, a tremor causes the lake's floor to open, setting free scores of prehistoric piranhas... They're back! Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for a single, wild weekend - the 4th of July, a riot of sun, drunken fun and sex-crazed mayhem. But this year, there's something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers. Lake Victoria sits in the crater formed by a prehistoric volcanic eruption, and when earth tremors tear open a crack in the lake floor, all hell breaks through. Piranhas - a million ravenous, razor-toothed monsters, unchanged since the dawn of time. Unstoppable killing machines acting blindly under one primeval impulse: to hunt down anything that moves and strip it to the raw, bleeding bone. In seconds.

_______________________________________________________

My Comments: Today I was in Tropicana City Mall with Kimmy as we completed our weekend outing here. Normally on Sunday, I will go shopping with Kimmy and then watch movie with her. Today we went to GSC Tropicana City to watch a horror and thriller movie that will definately wake us up but in the same time this movie will make you tense as well. Piranha is the movie that we've watch today and do expect many blood involved in this movie. If you can't watch any of the massive blood scene, then try avoiding this movie as it is going to be a massive blood bath involved where the piranha killed the people. There are a lot of tense moments that could shocked the patrons inside the cinema. This movie is similiar with those crocodile or sharks movie but Piranha does comes in massive amounts of hundred to thousands to kill the humans. There's nothing special about this movie in terms of storyline and it only happened in the Victorian Lake. Can someone survived? If you are interested in these kind of movies, then this movie is suitable for you and do expect a lot of blood and torn muscles from the humans and it looks very real too. This scenes where I can give a very high marks. I would recommend you to watch this movie as it was not bad after all as other people would have say that this movie sucks but I totally opposed that. Also, I rarely see this type of movie and today I did and I did have a tense moment but enjoyable. Enjoy! :) MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Food Hunt: Su Kitchen, Kepong Village Mall


Good Evening folks,

Welcome back to yet another edition of the Food Hunt where today, I will bring you guys to Kepong Village Mall to craft some food over there. It was indeed a lovely evening where the rain had just stopped. ME & Kimmy had decided to go for Madam Lim but today it did not open and unexpectedly we have visited Su Kitchen at Kepong Village Mall. Unfortunately I did not take down the entrance of the Su Kitchen but I can roughly tell you that once you reach Level 2 escalator from Level 1, then you will see the restaurant and it's located next to the Food Court and Subway. I will attached the Floor Directory with the RED box for you to locate it.

We reached Su Kitchen and the place was absolutely empty with only 2-3 tables being occupied. Once we sat down, we were served with the menu and I can tell you that the menu looks like Oldtown and the style is also same. The waiter also eagerly introduce their main dish for us and it was mainly the Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang. OK! Since that's their main dish, then I go for the Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang with a glass of Honey Lemon Ice. Both of us ordered the same dish. The service was pretty fast and it took about 8 minutes for the food to arrive. The portion of the 'Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang' was medium but the chicken was pretty small piece. It costs us about RM8.90 per plate and the taste was above average. The 'sambal' was not spicy though but the ingredients used were very fresh and nice. The best part is the drinks that we've ordered. The Honey Lemon Ice was absolutely wonderful and nice. It melt into my mouth and it was very tasty and I simply love it.

The bill came and it costs us about RM26.00 for 2 persons with the same amount of food we've ordered. It was like the OldTown price but if compared with the portion between Su Kitchen and OldTown, definately OldTown has a bigger portion compared to Su Kitchen. But still I prefer OldTown Nasi Lemak as it was still my favourite. You may want to come and try the Nasi Lemak over here and feel the difference but do not expect it will be perfect! If you ate a lot, definately the portion of Nasi Lemak is not enough for you too. MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
