Transformers 3 Dark Of The Moon

Our World, Their War , that was the title for the Nuffnang Transformers 3 contest writeup which got me 2 complimentary tickets to the premiere screening tonight over in Midvalley Megamall. This is one really hyped up movie, in fact it's everywhere to the point that I have my office colleagues talking about how irritated they were when the online cinemas website was down when they wanted to buy the tickets in advanced. Many thanks to Nuffnang for giving me the opportunity to catch this awesome movie! Transformer 3 Premiere Tickets Anyway there I was mingling with the really huge crowd gathering at GSC Midvalley. There was a red carpet gala event thingy going on with some celebrities showing their faces to sign off the Transformers 3 wall. I felt like putting my autograph there too, but I thought it was kind of inappropriate to steal their thunder. Some of the celebrities As usual, caught a quick dinner with some fellow bloggers. The anticipation was really high and everyon

Mother's Home Cooking

Image
No matter how many times I have eaten her cooking, no matter if it remains the same dishes, mother's cooking will always remain my favourite food. I guess it's because the effort put in to cook them came from her love towards her family, towards us. Tell me if you think otherwise. Anyway I was back in Penang, my hometown for the weekend early this month, the same time Henry Lee came to visit. Read about our food hunting here. ( New World Park Penang , Penang Air Itam Laksa ). Mummy dearest whipped up some of her nice food which I feel like sharing with all of you. Do check out the below pictures. #1 Curry Chicken #2 Fried Prawn Fritters #3 Fried Crunchy Fish #4 Fried Chicken #5 Home Made Yong Tau Foo Just seeing these food again made me wish I was back in Penang enjoying her cooking every day. Probably I might rush back to Penang again one of these coming weekends. Home cooked meals, nothing beats mum's cooking. So am I "Mama's boy"? In a way

Magnum Karaoke Party

"I Want To Sing-K With Magnum" reads the tagline for tonight's karaoke party fully sponsored by Magnum 4D . It was a Facebook invitation event, but a whole bunch of bloggers attended it too so I guess we could call it an awesome karaoke night by Magnum. Bloggers are awesome people remember? The venue was to be at the premier lounge of Red Box at The Gardens KL. A good venue because it gave me a chance to try out the The Gardens' Red Box Karaoke for the first time. Red Box Karaoke, The Gardens The promo banner for the night. Upon arrival at Red Box, we were greeted warmly by the organizers (Magnum) especially the MC for the night KK. It was to be a night of singing, food, beer, some nintendo Wii games, and the very unique "Multi Million Ringgit Draw Program" which will be explained further down this post. As I was slightly late, most seats were already full, yet I still managed to squeeze in between some bloggers. There were some 60+ people all ready

Another Visit To Nuffnang KL Office

Image
My first time to Nuffnang's office over in Heritage House, Jalan Yap Ah Shak was back in January 2011, and the experience did leave a good impression on me. My previous writeup can be found here, " A Visit To Nuffnang KL Office ". Ever since then, there were a couple more times I have dropped by the creatively orange decorated office. If you're driving here, do park at the designated parking about 50-100 metres away where they charge around RM3/hour as roadside parking is illegal and may warrant a summon. Nuffnang Office *Recycled image from previous writeup* Nuffnang Sdn Bhd 12B-5&6, Heritage House, Jalan Yap Ah Shak, Kuala Lumpur, 50300 Wilayah Persekutuan 03-2694 8828 There I was a few days back to collect some tickets, and this time I had company. A few fellow KL bloggers were there too to collect their tickets, hence we were able to catch up before heading up to the office. The recent Transformers: Dark of the Moon premiere tickets ha

PappaRich Asian Heritage Row

I had the opportunity to dine in at my second PappaRich recently, this time at it's outlet at Asian Heritage Row at Jalan Doraisamy, KL. My first time eating at this franchise was at Papparich Cafe Sri Rampai . I've always thought of PappaRich as an eatery similar to Old Town, but this outlet at Asian Heritage Row proved to me the ambience was a class higher.

Pantai Ria Restaurant Port Dickson

Image
Today, I was over at Port Dickson , one of the few times I actually dropped by this part of Malaysia. This time I'm here for my pre-wedding photoshoot. It was 3pm, and we have not had our lunch yet, the first chinese restaurant we headed to was closed. Our seasoned photographer then suggested this Pantai Ria Restaurant for a quick tea/lunch break. Pantai Ria Restaurant Restoran Pantai Ria‎ 4/223 Jalan Pantai 71050 Port Dickson 06-6625122 View Larger Map The first thing that caught my attention was the word "Muslim Seafood" printed on its banner. It got me thinking on the reason why they chose to go halal. The owner is a chinese muslim? Or probably they figured by going halal, there would be more customers. Anyway that's secondary, because I was more interested in the quality of the food. A signboard by the main road pointing the way Clean and tidy environment Since there were four of us, I went ahead to order four dishes . The settings and menu is
