Looking for a musical instrument is not as difficult as previous anymore. With all the online shop such as https://www.guitarcenter.com/, you can go to the website and search for the instrument you need, at the same time, read the review from users who have bought it and compare with others. It’s very useful to read the reviews before making the decision on buying it or not. At least, you will know what are the pros and cons up front.

Coconut Ice Cream

allenooi — Sun, 09 Jul 2017 01:15:01 +0000

Coconut Ice Cream is famous from Thai. Every time I went to Hatyai, Coconut Ice Cream will be on the food list. In Penang, if you want to get the Coconut Ice Cream, you will need to try your luck in the Thai temple near Gurney Plaza there or go to the Sangkaya Ice Cream shop.

I got this one from the food truck that came to my company for the event. It has 3 scoops (or 4?) in a cup, with corn, peanuts and Attap Chee (I don’t really like it so I asked not to be added) as topping. It costs RM4.

Guitar Chair

For me, guitar chair can be any chair that you feel comfortable to sit on while you are performing on stage. No matter whether it is a wooden stool or steel made chair, as long as the singer is feeling happy to play the guitar while sitting on it. However, if you really want to get some nice guitar chair, you can always get guitar chair check it out at GuitarCenter. Some of them are really nice, especially the wooden stool.

Sushi King Curry Sushi

From April to June, Sushi King is having the Curry theme food, including sushi, rice, and udon. I managed to tried 4 types of the Curry Sushi, there are Curryfornia Roll, Curry Ebi Fry Nigiri, Aburi Curry Tamago and Curry Tori Katsu Gunkan.

Personally I prefer the Curry Ebi Fry Nigiri and Curry Tori Katsu Gunkan. The fry Ebi and Tori Katsu are crispy and good. If you are heading to Sushi King, you can try out these new curry items.

Singing Karaoke at Home

allenooi — Sat, 01 Apr 2017 11:54:24 +0000

I always wish to have a home karaoke system. Now it has become more and more cheap to own one. However, I never get one because I think I will disturb the neighbors all day long, which I don’t want to. If I buy one, I will get the wireless mic, it will be more convenient during the singing session, no need to care about the wire anymore. For reference, please refer to the wireless system buying guide. You also can click here for a great deal. After getting all the information needed, only decide on whether to get one or not. It is better to do more research before buying rather than simply buy it and regret later.

Green Tea McFlurry

allenooi — Sat, 01 Apr 2017 01:54:57 +0000

Finally, Green Tea McFlurry is available in McDonalds Malaysia. I knew it after seeing my friend posted the photo in Facebook. Few days later, I went to buy and try it.

It’s sweet, all I ate is sweet!! I still prefer the green tea taste to be more strong and it’s not so sweet after blending with the vanilla soft serve. For RM6, I don’t think I will pay the money to eat again. Once is enough.

Texas Chicken @ 1st Avenue, Penang

allenooi — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 08:45:12 +0000

Texas Chicken is finally open its brand new outlet in Penang, the very first branch in Northern region. It is located at lower ground of 1st Avenue.

The biscuit which comes with the set is really surprised me. I like it. I also like the boneless chicken strips! There will be 2 dip sauces to choose from: Barbeque and Honey Mustard. I like the Honey Mustard more. For the drink, it is refillable! You can drink as much as you can for all the soft drink!

Conga

allenooi — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 08:32:18 +0000

Talk about Conga, I will think of the song “Conga” from Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. Conga is actually a musical instrument. It is a tall, narrow, single-headed drum from Cuba, which is highly used in Latin music for now. If you are wondering how it looks like, below is the photo, I got it from Wikipedia.

For Puerto Rican Conga’s fan, I am sure they will like this puerto rican flag mini conga. It’s nice, don’t you think so?

Pocky

allenooi — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 04:32:24 +0000

I went to Sakura Living in MMall and bought all the below. I wanted to try melty kiss for some time and finally I bought them.

The Pocky in blue box – Crystal Salty is nice! Yum! The other 2 I have yet to try. I will try them soon.

Christmas Performance

allenooi — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 14:34:36 +0000

Christmas is just around the corner. Every year during the Christmas season, you will see the performance of Christmas Caroling inside the mall. Apart from the caroling, some singing performance and Santa Clause appearance will also be part of the event. Most of the mall or restaurant will have the live band performing, to make the festive season even more joyful. Some of the live band will only perform using the tanglewood guitars, which is very nice and I like it a lot. I like most of the songs with unplugged version. You will be able to listen to the vocal more clearly.

Raclette with Crispy Potatoes @ Little Journeyman

allenooi — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 14:12:03 +0000

Quite a number of food bloggers are posting the Raclette dish from Little Journeyman. When I first saw it, I already wanted to go. So here I am.

The Raclette with Crispy Potatoes are so good. For cheese lover like me, I like it so much. Although it’s a little but pricey, it is OK if you go there and try it out, once in a while.

M-Audio Audio Interface

allenooi — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 14:45:54 +0000

It is not an easy task to set up a music studio, especially when you need to combine all the musical instrument and tools together. In order to sync them out without any issue, an audio interface is a must. M-Audio comes into the picture as it is the right audio interface tool to ease your setup. If you want to convert your laptop or PC into a portable studio, maudio will definitely be the one for you to choose from.

Sesame Grilled Chicken Spaghetti

allenooi — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 12:46:33 +0000

Meet up with friends at All Seasons Winter Warmers. It has a lot of choices from the menu. After browsing for some time, decided to order the Sesame Grilled Chicken Spaghetti.

Taste wise, not bad. I think they are using the kewpie wafu soy sauce for this dish. The taste is very similar as I used the kewpie wafu soy sauce at home as well. Will try other dishes next time if happen to go there again.

Microphone

allenooi — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 14:48:00 +0000

Microphone is very important for the stage performer. Some of the singers will have their own microphone. I remember A Mei (Taiwan Pop Female Singer) has her own microphone as well. In one of the talk show, she brought the mic along and the host tested on it. According to the host, it doesn’t need much effort to sing, the mic will do its part and the outcome is very good. For other singers, I am not sure how they select their microphone, but telefunken m80 is one of the good microphone for both stage and studio and featuring a wider frequency response and higher SPL capabilities.
