Melting Pot Lunch

After reading some food blogs about Melting Pot at Sungai Ara, I decided to have a try during lunch hour.
As I enter, what made this place interesting is the magazine corner -loads of women's weekly!
Anyway, we flipped and chatted while waiting for our food.
I think there is only one cook.

It's the only place in Penang that has portuguese devil's curry and I only heard about it when I was in Malacca. Perhaps, the cook is from Malacca (could be right?)












Wanted to eat fish and chip so much.

The fish is not too bad but I find it very oily :(





And the refreshing lemon and laici lemon.
As we paid, I saw the 10% voucher.
So, i told myself, I should go there again to try out the menu.



One week later, we went there again. Since it's my colleague's birthday, I asked the cook if they could have anything special for the birthday girl. And this time, I had 10% discount.

She had a chocolate sundae-jelly-like ice cream.




Glass noodles sounds less fattening.
The other colleague and I agreed that it tasted like fake shark fins.




And the presentation of the chocolate ice cream looks really weird.
(Guys can explain very well!)

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...
