Celcom’s Mother’s Day SMS message

Suanie — Sun, 13 May 2012 17:05:07 +0000

So, I received a SMS on Mother’s Day from Celcom: Uhm, thanks but I: a) ticked the ’single’ box when I signed up for my Celcom account; and b) did not say I agree to be spammed by Najib Razak or anyone via Celcom. Wonder if this is even legal…

Moving forward in life with INGeasi

Suanie — Thu, 10 May 2012 02:00:13 +0000

Do you wonder what you’d be like in years to come? I mean, a lot of us live in the current. I’m guilty of that for many years, but so are most people in their 20s. I had a fabulous time while in my 20s though. Now that I’m in my (very, very, very, very [...]

Fried porridge and crab mihun @ Restoran Bubur Goreng, Klang

Suanie — Tue, 08 May 2012 17:00:08 +0000

Fried porridge? Seriously, what is the world coming to? Doesn’t it worry you that reinvention of food has reached saturation when someone in the R&D of the Klang DaiChou Association stood up during its AGM and said, “Ok look here, why don’t we just FRY some porridge and sell it in a restaurant that shall [...]

Gerard Bertrand wines @ Le Meridien KL, 9th Boh Cameronian Arts Awards and ramblings before, in between and after

Suanie — Mon, 07 May 2012 16:50:33 +0000

Is this turning into a food blog? *gasps* IS IT?? Oh dear, I must do something about it, mustn’t I? I don’t know why seeing as there’s nothing wrong with having a food blog, but imaginary life experts say that there must be other things going on besides food! Being imaginary, they must be right. [...]

How to get non-smelly hands after eating durian?

Suanie — Fri, 04 May 2012 15:00:25 +0000

After eating durian, it’s difficult to get rid of that strong stench. Sure it smells like love at first sight when you’re eating it, BUT the lingering stink when you’re done is far from sexy. Especially when it’s stuck on your hands, ewwww! Lucky for us, some people *coughMELcough* remember an old wives’ tales to counter [...]

Sin Leong Huat, Subang Hi-Tech – Chinese food in the vicinity of Shah Alam

Suanie — Wed, 02 May 2012 18:05:47 +0000

Where I work in Shah Alam, the nicest nasi campur is a very short drive away. If I go out and eat nasi campur, well I usually don’t have to drive, heh. Whereas Chinese food is a bit inaccessible to me; meaning I’d have to go get my car and do the driving and look [...]

Quick Chinese lemon chicken

Suanie — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 17:40:27 +0000

I was shown a really quick, easy way to make this Chinese lemon chicken… So I thought I’d share Actually the ’secret’ ingredient of the lemon chicken sauce is one of those instant stuff, this one from Lee Kum Kee. Not too bad especially if you don’t have the time, knowledge nor ingredients to [...]

Steamboat at Bone & Pot, Taman Mayang SS25

Suanie — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 08:04:27 +0000

When Bone & Pot first opened in SS25, I scoffed and thought that they wouldn’t last, mostly because they seemed upscale-ish to be in that corner of the area. What do I know, they’ve lasted and going strong. In fact on some days you’d have to make reservations, else you’d be made to wait [...]
