KopiTiam

When I was younger, I only had home cooked food. I never frequent fast food chains or even kopitiams. I couldn't even know the difference between curry mee or hokkien mee. To me, it's just a different name for those "curry-based" noodles.

Even KFC was a luxury for me when my mom took us for Makan.
McD was a 'never'.

When I was in secondary, with my little pocket $$, I went to Kopitiam on my own. I enjoyed a lot eating wan tan mee - even until now, I like the black soy sauced noodles a lot.

I enjoyed Happy Meal and I nearly had happy meals every week for the toy when I graduated from Secondary school. During that time, beef burget set was RM4.50. Kinda cheap compared to the value meal sets.

In uni, I get to try even more like Hartz chicken buffet, dimsum buffet and all the macam2 restaurant.

My first ever Coffee bean was in Mont Kiara
My first ever Dome was in Sunway Pyramid.
My first ever Francisco Coffee was in Putrajaya (i think)
My first ever starbucks.... erm.. erm... I DON'T REMEMBER - maybe Gurney Tower?
The frappucino used to have that special sauce.... and I liked it a lot...
My first ever Gloria Jeans maybe from Midvalley
My first swensen's in Subang Parade
My first Friday's was in Subang Parade

My first ever McD - Greenlane Mcdonalds!! It brings old memories..

Too many first times...

As time goes by, when I started working, my taste got a little big expensive.
I went all the way out to try different food outlets........
Even fine dining..

And now.. I'm getting fat.
I prefer no sugar, no oil, no salt stuff. Preferably, Daniel Fast Diet.
I love Home cooked food.
I love meimeizoe's food.

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
