Now I did not know Sakae Sushi has been with us for 18 years already. What an auspicious number, 18, representing great fortune and prosperity. Recently I was at the launch of their brand new menu featuring more than 100 new additions in conjunction with their 18th anniversary. It is a mix of sushi, sashimi, rice, noodles, bento and pan fried specialty dishes. You'll be spoilt for choice. Check them out below.  Sakae Sushi Malaysia Celebrates 18 Years With New Menu 

My previous company used to be at Glenmarie Shah Alam, and it has always been a harrowing time looking for good food during lunch hours. It's the usual economy rice for us most of the time, but with the recent opening of various new outlets in the vicinity, diners are spoilt for choice. I've had the chance to drop by Umeshu Sushi & Bar the other day, and my, it was good.  Umeshu Sushi & Bar @ Glenmarie Shah Alam

Always a fan of grilled Japanese meat, or yakitori as they call it, I had the opportunity to dine at  TORII Yakitori & Whiskey Bar Japanese Restaurant recently. Located in TTDI Kuala Lumpur, the restaurant itself looked rather unassuming, hiding a gem of a restaurant inside. Serving yakitori and whiskey, it is indeed a haven of grilled skewered meat lovers. Check out what we had the other day below. TORII Yakitori & Whiskey Bar Japanese Restaurant @ TTDI Kuala Lumpur

Being a father of two small children has taught me that to be cost effective, I must hunt for every deal, baby fair, and discounts there are out there. Baby consumables item can add up to a lot, especially the diapers, bottle washing liquid and many others. That's why when there are baby fairs happening, I will be there with the masses, hunting for the best deals. Which comes back to today's post, Tesco Malaysia is having their "Lebih Jimat untuk Si Comel" baby promotions  now until 7th October 2015. Tesco Malaysia "Lebih Jimat Untuk Si Comel" Promotions

Located in Petaling Jaya, it was my first time entering TOC Automotive College last week. I was there to attend their Car Maintenance 101 (CM101) half day course. It's all about gaining some much needed basic knowledge on general car care through proper maintenance, repair techniques and safe driving. A heavy car user, clocking in 100km + daily, I felt these knowledge are of paramount importance as you'll never know when the ride might breakdown.

Food makes the world go round. Believe me when I say this, as nothing connects friends and families closer than food, even more than the latest spate of any social media platform or mobile chat apps. Being a family man, with two kids constantly fighting for attention and whatnots, it's always during meal times that we have a sense of togetherness and calm. Mcdonald's McNuggets has always been our go-to comfort food when the wife and I do not have the time and energy to whip up a meal at home. McDonald's Chicken McNuggets - Dip 'Em Share 'Em Promotion

Everyone has that extra freebie, gadget, or that piece of camera laying in the drawer, not being used anymore. Have you ever thought of selling those items, making a quick buck out from it? Now I have lots of unused items laying around, some even new and unopened, hence when I found out about the Shopee Malaysia mobile application , and how easy it is to post and sell our items there, I was elated.  Shopee Malaysia - The Mobile Marketplace 

So I've been following the Digi WWWOW Internet for All Awards since they first kicked off some 5 years ago.   In fact I did write about it in 2012 , and was nominated for one of the award in 2013 or so.

There I was at The Curve a couple of days back to check out LEGO Malaysia's showcase over at the concourse area. Always a fan of LEGO from when I was young, I am in awe of how far they have come, from simple building blocks of the past, to elaborate structures and buildings. LEGO Malaysia brought the popular LEGO Ninjago to life at the Curve, where Ninja enthusiasts had the opportunity to enter the mystical world of Ninjago, undergo an intense training only fit for a true Ninja and fight alongside Kai, Zane, Cole and Jay against the evil Morro at the LEGO Ninjago Battle Dojo.

So I've been using the Volkswagen Duo Plus ISOfix child seat for the past 5 months or so, to buckle and strap my two kids in when they are in the car. The laws concerning child seat in Malaysia is still pretty lax, but that does not mean they are not important. In fact, based on what I've read online, there's a whole lot of car accidents that ended up fatal for the children passengers due to lack of child seats, or the misuse of these seats.  The Importance of Buckling Up Your Kids In The Car 

Fancy a no-frills, honest fast food concept serving some delectable Gyudon beef dishes and Tokyo Ramen at a rather affordable price?
