: : Stinky Bean : :

Action

Eat the above concoction comprising of chilli paste, prawn and petai beans. Flavour is salty, spicy and sweet. Beans are crunchy and a mild sweetest taste.

Body reaction

Extremely … errr… flatulance as well as strong odour when discharging liquid waste a.k.a. urinating. Hold breath!

No pain no gain, baby!

: : I’m a part of a Salad : :

Malaysians are not a cultural meltingpot because a meltingpot signifies that everyone melts together and blends in. I prefer to refer to our community as a saladbowl. Notice that each ingredient is still recognizable as an invidual and yet, comes together to make a wonderful dish.

This was a statement that I heard today about Malaysia’s independance. I agree with him although I’m sure he meant salad rather than the bowl. The pic is old but the salad remains forever fresh.

Happy Post Merdeka day everyone!

: : Southern Bakery : :

Speaking to a friend online over the weekend, reminded me that the Mooncake Festival was just around the corner. So, on my way back home, took a long detour to Southern Bakery to grab some mooncakes.

Think I spend over 30 minutes selecting what mooncakes to buy, making phone calls to Granny and then to friends and family on what they would like to have. At Southern Bakery, they were also having a promotion whereby one is entitled to a RM5 (USD1.31) voucher for every RM30 (USD7.89) spent. Suffice to say that I went a bit overboard and bought a lot of goodies for friends and family.

I like the box more than the tin or the mooncake.

And the invidual tins here were so cute. The colour didn’t come out so well although the theme seem to be dating back to 1930s era.

Ok, so I went a little bit overboard. I would be stone broke if I bought mooncake for all my friends and relatives around the world!

Granny : Haiya! Why you buy so early one? Mooncake day only on 28 September lah! Doh!
