I won something...??

It was a couple of weeks ago when I was bored at work and I joined the online GSC contest. Surprisingly, over the weekend, I just found out I won one of the merchandise...Not too bad. It's a SALT Lenticular Notebook...this "notebook" here is those you-know...paper with hardcover thingy NOT the laptop kinda notebook.



Now...what to do with this notebook??

How do you deal with sudden death annoucements?

I got a call this morning saying that my cousin had passed away...it was 7am and I just got up from bed, I thought I was dreaming...apparently not.

So how do you deal with sudden death news of relatives? I used to have my parents to get the news directly, and I'll be the one at the side to receive the news later...you know, having being prepared that it's some bad news; since the facial expression of your parents change as they speak on the phone. And it's me breaking the bad news along to other relatives. This is the first..and frankly, I still don't know how to feel right now. Sigh...


Hmm..what was planned to be a good relaxing weekend has turned gloomy suddenly....

Desserts to lighten up your day


Well well..had an evening with the girls yesterday and then CJ suggested this place in SS15 called Snowflakes. Quite nice desserts :) This shop is located on the first floor somewhere in the stretch of shops opposite Asia Cafe. It was a Thursday night and it was fully packed with young college kids. Once you have queued for an average of 5-7 minutes, it will be your turn to order. After ordering you will get this beeping UFO ( more like a pager to indicate that food is ready for pick up)

So as you can see, we ordered the Snowflake Best Seller, Memorable Series: Japan! Combo and Winter Stringz. Price is considered as reasonable with the portion that they served.

This was the Snowflake Best Seller. They have what they call Taroballs. It's of chewy texture which kinda goes well with the whole combination. The white is milk and black is grass jelly. Bottom layer is ice with syrup.


This was JAPAN! Combo. Not too sure why they call it that. Green thing is green tea chewy taroball. White is soya bean flavoured ice...I kinda like this one too. Probably the chewy is not that great compared to the best seller... :P

Overall, this is quite a good place to go for desserts. Down point, very small space, places limited. So if you have the patience, it will take about 10-15 minutes of waiting time. Not too bad to try it out on a hot day ;) They also serve hot desserts....yet to try that...

Char Siew

Read about Char Siew today from Malaysia Finance Blog and thought of the char siew place I used to go. Been a while since I last went (probably a year ago?) This place hasn't change, probably price has increased a little but still reasonable :)
Nice presentation with just the right balance of fat and meat...more on the fats actually but that's the best part~ Barbequed to perfection ~

Roasted pork; frankly, I sorta think that the Canton-i ones are better....

Well, other things they have are roasted pork, roasted duck, roasted chicken, chinese style stuffed sausage and occasionally roasted goose.They also serve wan tan mee and sui kow(dumplings) and also the taugeh and vege. Opens from 7 till 4pm( But there's no say on when the closing is exactly since according to the boss, they will close when their ingredients have finished for the day) This shop was featured in one of Astro's programme before and some other newspaper article.

Restaurant name: Spring Golden
Location: 25, Jalan Sepadu C, 25/C Section 25, Taman Perindustrian Axis, 40400 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia
GPS reading: 101.542966, 3.025751

Tauhu Telur


Hmm, anyone know where I can get a good tauhu telur? I had this in Puchong. A Restaurant called Nyonya something... Looks good eh? But then, taste wise a bit disappointing.



Besides that, we also order the sambal petai...which I think could have been better. Overall, food wise, this is a so-so for me. Close to forgettable.



Been a while since I went Puchong and it has EVOLVED~! Can't remember when Puchong became like a food haven....Will explore more come the weekends~~! Yeay, new place for the taste buds~!
