Canon just came out with a new model called S90 looks so desirable, was informed of this camera by ieatishootipost.sg, i don’t need it, but i want it, and it is lighter than the sold-out Panasonic Lumix LX3(195g), this S90 weight only 175g, not bad, not too heavier than my current Pentax Option S4.

Klang Valley Food Hunt is happening next month

Flag off Location: National Science Centre, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur

Date: Saturday, October 3, 2009

Registration: 6:30am!

Flag Off: 8:30am

This event is organised RASA RASA and Time Out Solutions. RM20,000 worth of prizes for the top 20 teams. Registration for each participant is RM90(RM20 discount for Maxis user), each team(ie each car) can consist 2-4 person. Limited to 120 teams/cars.

Closing date for registration: September 28, 2009. Entry form can be download from www.rasarasa.net or www.timeoutsolutions.com or call 03-5621 4818.

Main sponsor is Maxis, other sponsors include Jobstreet.com, Sunrise, TMS, Nestle Nesvita, Country Farm Organics, Taylor’s College and myNEWS.com.

Previous 2 years food hunt organised by rasa-rasa was in Penang, this is the first year is held in KL, good for KL foodies. This year theme is “Going by mobile” whereby participants have to use Maxis SMS based location finder directory. Basically is like sending text message(ex: “Pan Mee”) to 301(number of the FINDER service), and they will send back the nearest places where you can have “Pan Mee”, and you can continue reply back to 301, they will send you back another sms containing more details and google map(provided you phone is 3G enabled, otherwise you will just get a http link of the google map)

Originally wanted to join this with a friend, but after finding out there is no reimbursement of petrol, 3G and this hunt will probably take 6-7 hours, and i am terrible in solving riddles, therefore decided not to join this treasure hunt.

Also, FYI, they have no ruling on GPS usage and not all routes are halal.( they have some routes to accomodate Muslim participants)

Anyone joining?

This is a scheduled post.

During this 1 year, i have blogged on various eateries, some of the must-go list are:
– Sugimoto Japanese Restaurant in Hartamas
– Popeyes Louisina Kitchen
– Ikea Food Court
– Gelatissimo Ice Cream
– Dubrovnik, Mont Kiara Solaris
– Happy Meal Durian Puff near Petaling Street
– Steamboat King, Jalan Ipoh
– Pan Mee, Jinjang
– Crystal Jade Kitche, Pavillion Shopping Mall
– Kin Heng Restaurant, Jalan Ipoh
– Delicious, Bangsar Shopping Centre
My favourite post (other food related and non-food related post)
– Sekeping Serendah Retreat
– How to Make Swiss Roll
– Recipe: Pavlova
– Camera Survey Among Food Bloggers
Food Exhibition Attended
– Epicure Malaysia 2008
– MIFB 2009, Malaysia Internation Food and Beverage Exhibition
During this one year, i am pretty much on a roll, churning out 1 post every other day, averagely, looking back, it is kinda crazy, but i enjoy blogging bout food basically anything food-related 😛 Good thing they is always gym exercise(swimming, elliptical machine) to keep my weight in check, however tummy is starting to show even though my weight is maintained… hahaha… probably from the occasionally over stretching of the stomach wall during some serious buffet chowing.
Photos in this blog have been blurred and over exposed consistently, mainly i am unwilling to spend on camera, and i am still in love with my cute-size camera, Pentax Optio S4 which weight only 115g with battery, hard to beat that when i don’t really want to be recognised as a hard-core foodie with big flashes and more noticeable camera… 😛 Might borrow my mum’s Olympus FE-20 which double the megapixe if i really want to take better photos. Anyway, food blogging can be boring after a while, when you have “review” so much eateries, just feel like you are doing the same thing over and over again, that’s why i tend to try to mess up some recipes without over-following the recipes, just a twit here and there to use up whatever ingredients which is already at home… food is suppose to be fun, creative, experimental, carefree, and not bogged down by feeling of trying to fill up blogs with post after post, however that is also what i hope for… “Variety is the spice of life” definitely applies for me when it comes to food, won’t stress so much about having perfect photos while eating, just so the food don’t get cold/melt etc when it is my turn to enjoy foooood. Also try to chip in a few non-food-related post to give my food-overloaded mind a break… hahaha
Just in case anyone interested in my camera survey, i did some serious documentation(sort of), including what camera food bloggers’ are using for their blog.
At the mean time, thank you for all my “fans/stalkers” etc for follow this humble blog of mine, which i share on everything food(and occasionally non food-related) which tickles my fancy, this is where i share my fun food adventure 🙂
So back to business… hehe, please leave your comment about this 1-year-old-blog of mine, which area you think can be improved? what attracts you to my site? 🙂 How to increase unique visitors, so that this blog will be so popular that i don’t have to work anymore… hahaha… anything you would like to say…

 

Tien Tien Lai Restaurant, Pudu

Tien Tien Lai, Pudu, a restaurant situated in one of the backlane in Pudu, customers filled to the brim, business is brisk, and there have 2 place for seating: one with air-conditioner and one without.
Sweet and sour pork, RM10, taste so-so to me partly i don’t fancy pork that much and prefer more simple food(steamed, savoury instead of this “sweet” dish)
superb steamed egg(normal chicken egg, salted egg and century egg), RM8
steamed ginger paste fish, RM15
overall, a so-so place to have dinner, the steamed egg is superbly done, smooth. Have been eating so much outside these few weeks, i still prefer more homey food, not too oily, not deep fried… weight have increased 2-3kg in the last few weeks and it is not even funny when i see the cellulite in thigh/leg… urghhhh… also been pigging so much last few weeks during lunch time too… usually i will do 25 mins of elliptical machine, that’s it(why 25 mins, because i am “lazy” to do 30 mins… haha), but today did another 15 brisk walk on machine… hope it helps… want to lose some topical weight in the mid section, is that possible? read some article before that there is no such things as targetting areas of your body which you want to work on…
