home is where homer is

The recent uproar at GSC over the missing 'Homer' was just too much to handle.


The local dailies reported that the 3D character, Homer, was missing from his spot at the MidValley GSC cinema. The police later discovered Homer in a upper class neighbourhood where the culprits tried to hide him amidst the gnomes and landscape.

Homer is now safe and back to the comfort of this (temporary) home.

potter has come to save the day... AGAIN!

The fifth instalment is finally here. We saw the movie last night and I must stress that it is not for the consumption of kids coz it has become kind of dark. Someone asked me whether it was good.. my thoughts "ok, it's just mediocre but it you don't watch it, it will be like eating banana split without the banana when the last sequel comes out".

So just go lah.

roti wow

Last night was quite a night for us when we went to the nearby nasi place for dinner. I was still quite full from lunch, I decided to have a light dinner so I proceeded to order roti tisu (tissue). And then looked what came ...


1st reaction, laughter. 2nd reaction, clicking away on our cameras. 3rd reaction, how to eat??? But of course, anyone with two cents worth of brain cell would know that it is impossible to eat it sitting down so what they did was they brought along three plates and placed them next to each other and lay the roti down. It was covered with sugar and was a tad oily. I was trying to mop up some excess oil with tissue and suddenly it hit me... maybe that is why it is called roti TISSUE.

sudah sampai

It has been almost two weeks and finally it has arrived! It's self-explanatory. If you don't get it, read my previous entry.


Thanks MIX FM!!! I will be calling you again in 20 days and counting coz you have to wait 30 days before you can participate in any other Mix FM competition. And other important note, this applies to the winners only.

coming out of the woods

I was devastated after lunch at Woods Macrobiotics in Bangsar because what I used to pay at their previous location in Damansara Uptown has increased by two folds, by an ASTOUNDING 200%!

Fine, they serve really authentic organic food specializing in macrobiotics , but come on... increasing the prices to accommodate their move to a more 'exclusive' and 'expensive' address is just WRONG.

Yuba Slices (like mock fish) in lemon sauce cost RM28 for 8 slices?? and the taste has also deteriorated. The slices were too dry and to a point where it was almost flaky. Then came the Peanut Sauce Tofu priced at RM18 for 4 pieces with dollops of peanut sauce much like satay sauce only less oily and less spicy. But the taste for the sauce has also gone bad. The tofu though was fried pretty well resembling a distant cousin to the Agedashi Tofu. The last dish was an order of broccoli sauteed with garlic at RM23.80 the only saving grace for the overpriced lunch as it was still tasty. But seriously, I could have paid just RM8 for a nice cluster of broccoli for AUSTRALIA. A glass of soy milk that was originally priced at RM2.50 has also become RM5.00... so go figure.

I have come out of the WOODS and I hope many will too as there are now many more choices.

kenny! rogers!

Makan, makan, makan... that is what are thoughts always revolve around. Boringlah. Some for the faint hearted this update is specially written and reviewed for you. To Kenny Rogers we went.


We had 2 coupons for KR whereby for every quarter meal we order, we would get the other free and since it was month's end, we decided to go the austere way... Out of the 4 of us, we ordered 2 sets to entitle for another two, so four for the price of just two meals.

The original variants was the most sought after followed by the three side orders. We had mac and cheese like 6 portions (yes, yes, we went slightly overboard), fruit salad x 3, garlic parsley potatoes x 1 and coleslaw x 2. Then of course we had the muffins too. All in all the chicken was ok but remember to order the original variant coz the black pepper ones are kinda funky and remember to ask for extra gravy; the mac and cheese were acceptable coming from a fast food joint and our fave amongst the side orders; fruit salad was mediocre and coleslaw was funky as well... maybe it was all the chives and coriander. The muffins ROCKED as usual!

A simple meal
Was what we wanted
And at Rogers
It was granted

No more, no less
We all expressed
But thank God
the muffins still kicked ASS!

fishy business

My colleague and I headed to Taman Danua Desa for an appointment late one morning and thereafter wanted to stop by a coffeeshop for brunch. Lo and behold, without taking more than 10 steps, we came across this rather packed outlet (considering it wasn't even lunch time) called Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles. And quite aptly named if I may add.

You know how you kinda figure out what to order when we spy on the dishes that other patrons order... we did so too. The menu was simple - fish head noodles (duh??!!) and fish maw noodles. And since 99% of the orders were the former, we too decided to go down the same route.

I never acquired this thing for fish head, whether curry or this soupy variant and especially with fish head noodles I am usually quite apprehensive cos many add milk ?? So i dived in and hoped for the best.

It turned out to be delicious. The fish head was cut in bite size pieces and deepfried and added into the bowl of wholesome fish soup (sweet, no fishy taste whatsoever) that came with salted vegetables, coriander (a small bit only otherwise would have to pick them out) and slivers of ginger. The portion was large and as usual, all the devoured was the SOUP. The fish was fresh and the flesh was firm. The sambal and chilli padi really rocked it further!

My colleague, Anthony happily posed for this action shot of him slurping down this bowl of wholesome goodness all for only at RM6.50 for each bowl.

(a cute and very unusual way of dishing out the sambal and chilli padi, they had this person walk around with a large tray for patrons to just take as much as they like. WE LIKE!)
