Shanghai Ding House of Dumpling

Since its opening at queensbay, I have never visited this place because I'm never a fan of chinese food. An uncle colleague liked to eat chinese food, so we decided to pay a visit to this place.



And, there we go, having the 'cheaper' version of Siu Long Bao than Dragon-i.


And of course the roasted pork and the pork belly stuff.
I liked the buns and the sauce -> really felt good having them in my tummy but those porky stuff is way too fattening.

The siu yok was a bit small and I think the siu yok rice at the hawkers are better.


But they have some cute dimsum (minus the porks - yes I dont really like minced pork - I can steam it myself).

The pokey buns with custard fillings were nice and the thorns were done really well!
Of course, the mango cheese balls.



La Mien - Comparing it with competitor?
But, I think it was so-so. Please cut down on MSG OK?
It's too salty for my likings..


Nom nom..
And the fried turnips (loh bak gou) which is so much cheaper than canton-i.
(of course, I still prefer buying from hawkers)

Drinks - so far so good..

One main reason that I decided to blog about this because the boss was so generous to us that he gave us TWO big bowls of complimentary mango sago dessert.
That's a lot!
Even 15 people couldn't finish them all.
If wasn't due to time constraint, I would be licking the two bowls....
Maybe because it was free, I felt that it was really yummy.
Not too sweet and the shaved ice was made right to my tounge; except that the sago was frozen.
I still recommend people to visit as I feel that customer service is very important!
At least, it was a moment of magic for me.
Some companies have 10% - we dont have as HR didn't apply for us.
I must speak to HR to write a letter to them for 10%!

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...
