Happy Thanksgiving!

It's thanksgiving and I think it's hardly celebrated among us in Malaysia.
I still remembered last year, i was at Vietnam, explaining to the Vietnamese the origins of thanksgiving day.

It all started with a ice breaker what they are thankful for. Most gave the general answers -> thank God, thank their parents ... and thank their friends.. and their close ones..

It was basically to give thanks to God for the harvest for the year.
And the next day, being Black Friday -> it's the start of Christmas season shopping!

Two years ago, I still remembered my ex colleague telling me that her hubby would be there waking up as early as 5am queuing up to get good buys!
and many many ppl are out there SHOPPING.. how envious!

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...
