Koreans Dominating!

The Kia Optima never looked this good until recently...Their new design language incorporates both Audi and Saab elements resulting in a very sleek car!

Hyundai and also done very well with their latest sonata...design language emphasises on fluidity! Still a bit of copycat from Mercedes CLS.

Nabe Buffet by Sushi King

I stumbled upon this promotion by Sushi King quite recently...

I tackled twenty two bowls of ingredients, including 8 bowls of chicken, 1 bowl of noodles, 2 bowl of rice and a whole lot of soup.The meal may not have the most expensive of ingredients but it's certainly a must try.

BOOKS

Books come in colours...

...some are without colour

Books are like building blocks, one is never enough...

 That's me up there...getting ready for my exams.

Ampang Satay and Chawan Bangsar in just one day!

Had a great time together with the U2 cell group. Tried out famous Ampang Satay-chicken, beef, lamb at a flat rate of 70 cents per stick. Very long since I've eaten good satay and ten times more worthwhile compared to Dragon-i. I also got to try out Chun-one nasi lemak(RM1) which they claim is an original recipe since 1936. That's 74 years ago!



After the satay meal, we went to the other side of town....Bangsar. Supposedly, this area of Kl is a popular hang out place for the rich and famous. We headed toward our destination which was a Malay old-style kopitiam called Chawan.

As with most of the kopitiam inspired cafes out there, this one had your typical nasi lemak and teh tarik. One thing special about this kopitiam was that it served at least 15 different kinds of coffees from at least 15 different parts of Malaysia, each having a distinct aroma and flavour.

There's even one coffee from Melaka, kopi Aik Cheong! I went for teh tarik because I wasn't planning to stay up for too long, it was already late at night. We ordered some Lekor and fried taufu which tasted average. Service was good and what amazed me the most was the atmosphere.

They used landslide preventing concrete cages to cover up one part of the wall, giving the whole place this rugged look that blended with the old style wooden chairs. All in all, it was truly an unique experience!

Dragon-i Restaurant

Had a super expensive lunch with my classmates after class...

The place was Dragon-i. I've been to it's sister restaurant Canton-i once and was quite impressed with the wantan mee served there. The prices in Canton-i were steep enough to punch a big hole in my wallet but are nothing compared to what I had to pay in Dragon-i. The Sunway Pyramid Dragon-i outlet is located on the ground floor near the ice-skating ring. The view from the restaurant was breathtaking, we could see the whole Sunway Lagoon from where we were sitting. 

Next up the food. To tell you the truth, for 30 ringgit a person I could very well have gone to some TGI Fridays or Carl's Junior. The food didn't taste that good and was a little bland for my liking. Service was okay but not worth the service charge.

 We had same plain la mian-noodles(RM8), fried spicy chicken bits(RM20), shrimp dumplings(RM9), chive dumplings(RM6), pork dumplings(RM9) and fried shrimp rice(RM14). The bill came up to RM142.60 after adding all the service charges and government taxes. Really not worth my money. Lucky for me, I got RM50 for designing a poster for college...so at least I don't have to starve. The chicken was my first meat dish in about 3 days.


The chicken dish was filled with dries Sichuan chillies. Some of my classmates had a chili eating competition and all of them ended up in tears. I ended their pain by offering them some yogurt.

That's all for now, stay tuned for more of my foodie adventures!

A Secret Passageway...

From that day onwards, we are the pioneers of a new route to Sunway Lagoon, this time through a road very much not taken!

It was after my math class on Friday that I decided to take a peek at what the so called 'Hovercraft' project was all about. Mr. Kingsley, one of the A-level Physics lecturers has taken up this highly skilled task. He and a team of students have been working day and night on a supposedly six-seater hovercraft. Imagine having to calculate all the down forces, coefficients, torque of the hovercraft, very mind boggling.

The workshop is located on the south-east end of the campus, down a dirt road behind the art gallery. I didn't now such a place existed until just recently. While waiting for Mr. Kingsley to show himself, I asked Thasban(classmate) about that shack further down the dirt track.

KIN MUN: Hey, what's that thing over there?

Thasban: It's a bird how lar!

KIN MUN: Then what beyond the bird house?

Thasban: A construction site for the new campus extension I guess.

We embarked on a journey towards insanity




We wondered down this narrow pathway along the college campus. It wasn't exactly that narrow, but it was some sort of jungle trail. Cars could barely fit through. It's a downhill trail, good for mountain biking. At the beginning of the trail, a lamp post with a radio controlled switch greeted us. Turn the switch on and it will send radio signals to all the other lamp posts around the area to light the whole track up. We saw this massive white canopy at the bottom of the slope, into the valley where the old mining pond was. That canopy was part of the Sunway lagoon theme park. It was quite some distance away from where we were standing.

KIN MUN: Hey wonder if it's possible to go down there and sneak into the theme park.

Others: So far, how to go?

KIN MUN: hey wait, what's that track over there...

I discovered a further pathway; it was like a scene from the poem 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost. Shall we or shall we not go further? Yes we should...

 we came in from here...

Then we arrived, there was no gate, no wall, nothing to prevent us student from trespassing. We found ourselves in Sunway Lagoon concourse just in the timeframe of a few minutes. Amazing isn’t it? The guard didn't notice our presence until one of my classmates asked him, "Hey, boleh masuk?"
Then he smiled at us,"pergi dari sini". Probably wondering where these jakuns came from.

From that day onwards, we are the pioneers of a new route to Sunway Lagoon, this time through a road very much not taken!
