As Suanie Sees It

Fresh, succulent seafood (among other things) at Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant

Suanie — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 06:38:35 +0000

I was invited to tag along to a food tasting at the Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant (BSGR) in One Bangsar. Had a lovely meal with most amiable dinner companions such as Kerol, KY, Haze, Cheesie, Horng and Jade. Steamed Cod Fish with Essence of Chicken, priced at RM13.00 per 100g. Served with dried lily bulbs [...]

What my Mom said…

Suanie — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:00:58 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, my Mom and I were on the topic of the next generation. Not of the Star Trek type, but more of the Ryan the Nephew type. Since Ryan the Nephew is still her one and only grandchild, she is keen for more. I don’t actually understand why. I mean by [...]

Malaysian Street Food: Ramly Burger at TTDI

Suanie — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 08:07:49 +0000

If you ask a Malaysian where you can get a good Ramly burger, chances are that you’d be met with bubbling enthusiasm as you experience the following in sequence: 1. Your friend speaks a little too fast as he tries to gather his memories as to where the BEST (in his opinion) Ramly burger is. 2. [...]

Suanie and Alex for Genting Trailblazer 2010!

Suanie — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:11:15 +0000

I first heard of the Genting Trailblazer last year when one of my Bootcamp buddies, Ean Mei participated. Running through a jungle, up and down hills, jump into natural mud baths… HELL YEAH SIGN ME UP! Unfortunately I wasn’t fit last year (kickstarted my fitness journey only in August 2009) plus it was too late [...]

Chicken Chop – the quintessential Malaysian-Western dish

Suanie — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 09:35:41 +0000

Despite my (not too) far-fetched claims of extraordinariness, I’m actually a rather typical Malaysian. So if you are anything like me, it is most likely that your first encounter with Western food is the chicken chop. Chicken what? Chicken chop… as unique to Malaysians (okay fine, Singaporeans also and they are to be included every [...]

“Stop making faces or it will stay that way!”

Suanie — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:01:34 +0000

In case you have not realised it, this is a cop out blog post as it’s infinitely easier to put up photos of my nephew and have you gushing at his cuteness than me actually writing anything substantial. I’ve been busy with personal stuff (who isn’t?) and when I’m not, I’m often too brain-dead to be [...]

Traffic lights to replace Rothman’s roundabout in SS2

Suanie — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:14:13 +0000

Did you know that the landmark Rothman’s roundabout in SS2 will soon have traffic lights? I didn’t, until I saw these signs posted all over the roundabout. In short, it announces of the traffic light plans and work will commence in July 2010. If you have any questions, you can call the Engineering Dept at [...]

How much would you pay for frozen yoghurt?

Suanie — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 04:29:46 +0000

I am going to sound like a grumpy old lady pointing my cane at you, wheezing, “Do you know how much things cost these days? Too bloody much that is!” After dinner, Kevin and I walked past the Tutti Frutti Frozen Yoghurt shop in TTDI. He suggested that we give it a try, as he [...]

Are you going to the Philippines any time soon?

Suanie — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 09:00:54 +0000

If yes, can I tumpang you to buy this for me??? Romulo’s Garlic Chips with Chili! I was at KY’s yesterday and he offered me some of this, which his brother bought for him from the Philippines. At first I was hesitant because I do not have a snacking habit. But I gave it a try and… [...]

Taming of the Shrew: A Bollywood Cabaret @ PJLA

Suanie — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 08:16:24 +0000

Last week I had the chance to watch Taming of the Shrew: A Bollywood Cabaret at the PJ Live Arts at Jaya One, thanks to The Star Property. Most of you would know the Taming of the Shrew. No? Okay, the movie 10 Things I Hate About You then. But what is a Bollywood Cabaret? [...]
