Cakes always taste better when it's FRESHLY baked



It was one of my colleague's last day and she decided to treat everyone with two round cakes from Secret Recipe. Since I was not at the office, she insisted to get a friend to home-delivered the cakes to me, even though I've explained to her that the cakes would not taste as good as it is by the time it reaches my home.
Indeed, by the time I got the cakes, it was soft and soggy.
In fact, it was not fresh already.
Most importantly, the cakes were not kept in the right temperature, thus leaving its freshness away......
I once heard from my friend that the cakes in Secret Recipe Penang are stored for few days but since it's kept refrigerated well, it could last longer as how it should be.
However, for someone who doesnt waste food, I finished everything with my sis at home :)

nitin: i think miss anonymous sounds like my sis that ate the cake with me.

miss anonymous: i'm stating the fact that the cake lose its freshness and it doesn't mean that i didn't thank her for being thoughtful about it. in fact, if im the colleague, i'd take note to understand that cakes cant last long.

pei: the cream was soggy, and you are right that the cake would be dried up as it's exposed to the normal temperature.

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.
