Gardenia Bread!!

Here's something interesting on how to buy your fresh wholesome Gardenia bread.

When you buy your bread, have you wondered how to choose and which one is the freshest of em all? Some say they "squeeze" for freshness and softness. Some say check the expiry date, my mum taught me to look for the longest expiry date and check around make sure there are no fungus growing on the bread.

Did you know that the bread is delivered freshly to the stores 5 days in a week?

They are delivered on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Each and everyday they have a different colour twist tie (that explains much how come there are so many different colour twist tie)

They are : -
Blue on Mondays
Green on Tuesday
Red on Thursday
White on Friday &
Yellow on Saturday

So if today Tuesday.. you would want a green colour twist tie instead of Yellow that is produced on Saturday.

I hope this is interesting and actually enlightens you why is the bread twist tie clip in different colours.

So enjoy fresh bread when you buy the right colour on the right day of your grocery shopping day!

Please comment if you find this useful or interesting and spread the word!

Prawning (15/12/2008)

Well since i've not been updating my blog as often as i used to due to work load and busy schedule. Today i found some lil time in between to update what i did yesterday.

After work went home and prepared my hooks for some prawning session with a friend who's so engrossed and curious on how i catch these tiger prawns.

He witnessed it and he tried it.. i think he's hooked to it as well. Thats good cause his mum don't really need to buy prawns from the market anymore.

Some updates on the prawns that i caught yesterday.

Each prawns is averagely about 9 inches. it weights more or less around 100 grams each.

Total catches for the day.. not bad i would say..

so if catch around 10 - 15 it makes a kg. This prawns are huge and.. its so yummy. Can't wait for it to be cooked.

Here are some of the prawns that i caught.. but this photo's are taken a few weeks back just didn't have the time to post.

These are some of the big prawns that i had previously. Freshly caught and steamed with egg white with lots of chinese rice wine. Taste heavenly!

I would say.. my hobby is a lil worth it.. why do i say that.. my mum don't need to buy anymore prawns from market.. my family only eat tiger prawns now.. my gf likes prawns to the max.. so its like 1 arrow hitting a few bull eyes hehee..

Next food post.. Coffee Crab...

Jensen's Birthday Gathering

This is a long Overdued post. We celebrated Jensen's birthday in Zen Japanese Restaurant in Pyramid on 28/06/2008.

This is what Jensen had for his birthday dinner hahaha..



There is actually an incident whereby the softshell crab came soft.. meaning that its not crunchy at all.. its soft and soggy. So our Taiko Jensen had to ask the waiter to come. The waiter quoted to him. ..

"sorry sir.. all the soft shell crab is soft or one of it?"

What a question.. if we would've tasted and see which is soft and which is hard the whole plate of softshell crab would be missing isn't it? This one quoted from my gf.

The thing is they're not proactive in changing it.. they'll ask you whats wrong and why you want to change and silly questions and debates around.

The Tofu that we had.. Agedishi Tofu..


Mabel holding the pickle and some other vege

Alice and Grace posing but the waiter's hand had to come into the pic.. sigh

This is what i had..close up shot of the Unagi

nice Unagi set which comes with sashimi.. yum yums!

Close shot of the sashimi.. i remember salmon, Tuna and something else which i forgot hahha..

This is located at the restaurant in SS3.. Restaurant name Siong Hee

Something Interesting!!

A group of us had supper last night to plan on the activities that we're gonna have today.. ask usual we'll talk about everything during the eating session and after that we chat about almost everything and debated about everything.. The usual person who always kena tembak (got shot) is always JUSTUS..

before i proceed with what I shot him about.. a simple pics of what we had yesterday.
La Yau (butter style)Sotong
Sing Chau Mai (Singapore Bihun)

Okie .. we all had Stir fried Hong Kong Kai Lan, Kam Heong fried rice, Stir Fried potato leaves, Thai style taufu, Sing Chau Mai.

Sorry no pics for the other foods as when i remembered to take pics of it.. half plate gone already.. So i only manage to savour 2 of the pics above before its gone.

The thing that we're talking about yesterday led from one thing to another until it eventually came to the topic foreskin.. Justus was mentioning about him looking at someone's pee pee 10 years ago and commented that the pee actually splits then and after 10 years it remains the same.. Then he also said that the foreskin is to cover the hole.. which he's mentioning about the urethra.. I can't stand it anymore so i just tembak him and said.. Eh.. justus... your foreskin cover the hole only and not the head one ar? everyone burst out laughing. Damn man.. this is what happen when he talks faster than he can think .. Muahahaha.. thinking about it also i feel like ROFLMAO

Okie back to the topics.. today in the afternoon we'll be going for PRAWNING in klang. And after that we'll be going to Klang as well to have dinner with our fresh catches.. crabs that justus is gonna buy to cook as well tonight.. Just thinking about it gets my mouth salivating..

Another thing interesting is that i stumbled upon this site for the Earthquake reports around the world. I got this details from the World Wide Earthquake Locator. I've never seen something so detailed and this site shows everything from the depth of the earquake.. the magnitude and also the time and location of it.

Just a preview about these info and the rest you could click on the link to have a look for yourself.



Its something that shows the quakes that happen everyday around the world.

Food Fiesta

On 7th May 2008 we had a FTT (Fishing Teh Tarik)at a local restaurant in SS3 called SAM YOU. The dinner is set at about 7.30pm - 8pm. As i arrive slightly after 7.30pm because i need to thaw the prawns and fish.. so when i arrived there..most of them with their salivating faces sitting down chatting away while waiting for the rest to come. At that time Unker,Untie, Sweet, Rorytate, Qiw, Ipodluvya and Rapala is already there with me and Mabel just arrived the restaurant with the raw fish to be cooked.

Showed everyone the size of the talapia and was called by the Boss to show him as well and pass everything to the kitchen to scale the fish and clean the tiger prawns.

Sat down had some drinks and was called to the counter to order. One thing i like this restaurant is that, you do not have to worry about what to order.. The boss there with his super PR skills can recommend anything and the dish will turn out well. So i placed the order for the dishes to be cooked.. but he only cook after everyone arrived.. we were dead hungry and PK arrived about 8.30 together with his gf.

I've ordered the following dishes and you can see the pic for yourself below this post.
1)Stirfry Lai Pak
2)Big Mama Talapia cooked in Butter style
3)Steam Fish topped with Ginger
4)Hamdan Crab
5)Kam Heong Crab
6)Toman Fillet cook with Bihun (specialty) (sorry no pics as well)
7)In house Chicken Specialty dish (sorry no pics)

As we're too hungry after the food arrived immidiately we attacked and chomp down the food and then only i realise that i missed some of the photo's. Damn..

Okie la.. don't want to bored you guys with the long posting.. i'll let the pic do the talking.

*WARNING!!!. Please do not look at the pics with a hungry tummy!
