Another canton-i story?


I have never expected myself to dine at Canton-i again.
I still think it's expensive to eat a plate of Rm12.80 wantan mee in Penang, when we can get really good ones about RM2.50.

It's Rm10 difference.
And even a glass of plain water costs Rm1~.

But there was a die-hard Canton-i fan in our midst.
So, nevermind la, we dined and enjoyed the meal.
Sometimes it's OK to dine with someone who likes the meal. At least my friend would be happy dining together with us.

What matters most is friendship, not the $$ I have to fork out from my wallet.
Lucky thing CIMB/Direct access card holders is still entitled 10% discount. *muax*

I have been waiting patiently for my noodles to come by.
Someone told me the char siu mee is nice.
So, I'm giving canton-i a SECOND CHANCE.
Since they have mixed (char siu and siu yok - bbq pork and pork belly), so I might as well try all these at one go.
I think I know what they meant that the 'meat' that they liked.
I should be able to get it anytime at Hong Kong; most of the restaurants serve the kind of texture canton-i has, in fact has more lean meat than canton-i.

Probably, if they have a taste of Hong kong foods, they won't think that canton-i is the best, then again, it's the NEAREST which we can find.

My other two friends still insists on the wan tan mee, so I took a picture of that too~

Be more adventurous and try the fried turnip (to me, it's char kuey kak).
Again, we are paying RM12.80 quality instead of the roadside hawker's Rm2.50.

Difference is, the price and the 'hard work' that the chef puts in it.
At least the quality control is there.


Honestly, i dont' know if they would kill me for posting their pics.

But then again, it's nice make up and hairdo that we paid for!! (RM30 ok??~)
Who knows, canton-i may ask permission from me for these pictures.

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...

Vacation nightmare

I was dreaming as if I was in Sentosa. The beach was beautiful and I tried capturing the scenery with my digicam. Sunset was colorful. We were in the closed up area and a few of my friends and I began to pose while getting the staff to take pics for us. We posed quite long for them. Shots don't seem to be good. The scene suddenly changed into a bedroom scene with my sis. There was a great disaster. The enemies had come. With just one blow from his mouth, the bridge was changed into wooden bridge (like Terabithia). They came to destroy by placing the bottle of ketchup (what the??!?) at every spot. We tried to strategize. OOps......... and the dream just died.

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.
