Salt & Pepper Home Food

Its 12.01am.

I’m hungry! Well, I was hungry an hour ago until I had this Nasi Paprik from Salt & Pepper Home Food. Been looking all over GOOGLE for delivery at this hour and even asking people where to get Ramly near my place. The nearest place which is open 24/7 would be Starbucks at SMC. However, all my attempts were futile until I saw this flyer on my desk. So, I texted the number printed there and asked for the price of Nasi Paprik. The guy called me back and told me the price. RM 5.50 inc. delivery. Wow.. not bad and I placed my order.  Waited for around 35mins and another phone call came, he’s outside my house already. Hahaha.

Lets slowly unpack this thing..


Tadaa!!

I had no idea what is Nasi Paprik until I saw this.. It has mixed vegetables and chicken meat in it. It tasted like tom yam though. Overall it was nice, but slight over-generosity of salt in it. It looked good enough for Sheryl though…

Another place for reasonably priced food delivery.. =)

p/s : The shop is located nearby Taylor’s Lakeside Campus.

DiGi Campus (un)-awesomeness

DiGi has revamped its DiGi Campus plan and now it sucks big time.

  • There would not be any more UNLIMITED free calls after a usage of RM2 but restricted to only 100 minutes now.
  • There’s no such thing as FREE SURFING for RM30 per month anymore. It is now RM5 per day which counts out to RM150 per month..
  • It is no longer exclusive to college/university students. As long as you are 12 -24 years of age, you can get it.
  • The only thing that remains is the FREE SMS to 11 Friends and Family which is rather, little.

BEST THING IS.. THE CUSTOMERS WERE ONLY NOTIFIED ON THAT DAY ITSELF

Abandon ship! abandon ship!

DiGi.. Time to change...

FatCow is DOWN! I repeat he is down!

Alright its confirmed.. the fat cow is down with dengue and he’s happily spending the night at Sunway Medical Center (sunway moneymaking center).

I dropped by this morning and he looked pretty normal to me. Perhaps he needs moar love from his 5 wives..

update: 7PM lol..

DiGi Iphone! Nah.. nothing special.

So I’ve been offered a free iPhone to buy an iPhone from DiGi.  Just take a look at the price. How old is an iPhone? If I were to get the iPhone I would have already gotten it months ago when the 3GS was launched. Months have passed and well, there might be a new iPhone coming again soon.  The price of this shitty iPhone did not drop for like months. Its getting annoyingly common that its becoming like one of those legendary Nokia 3310 where most people use to have. Urgh.

Anyway, anybody wants to buy the iPhone?

TGI Fridayness

Hmm.. *bandwidth hungry post*

This post was supposed to be a simple post but then things changed and everything turned out differently.

Since this post is about TGI Fridayness, it was supposed to be published on Friday itself but then thing’s don’t always turn out the way I want and blabla bla.so it’s gonna get published today.Reng Kwan and I were supposed to get a cheap but satisfying dinner last Friday and we discussed about it lol. Initially it was planned to be at the F4 fish curry restaurant in Subang but Sie Khai‘s brain got fried and he had to be at home resting so that his brain cells could recuperate. 2 persons going to that restaurant doesn’t sound good anyway. Screwed that plan and came out with the Canadian pizza alternative. Sweet.  Then came the engineering gals.. Turned out that they did not have dinner yet and after several phone calls and numerous msn chat lines, we headed off to TGI Friday’s at Sunway Pyramid. Being on a tight budget, (oh it was for me though) not sure about the others, we ordered the 2 course meal! So appetizers and entree dishes for dinner. ha ha ha . Photos after the break =)

E5300 in the house!

I’m replacing my E5200 with an all new E5300! Okay okay, this doesn’t sound much but then why E5300? Reng Kwan’s getting 3 new rigs for his company and why not swap my E5200 for this E5300? The newer 100mhz faster E5300 processors have Intel’s VT-x technology in it and with that I’d be able to do more virtualization stuff or even run parallels on my hackintosh. The older E5200 does not support VT-x. Prasys.. I’m coming to your way soon. LOL. 

As expected, this E5300 is indeed a good overclock-er surpassing my E5200′s overclocked speed. The E5200 was a good overclock-er too but perhaps I didn’t manage to get the good performing ones with mine overclocked to 3.1ghz only. The E5300 running now could clock speeds of 3.75ghz before the maximum operating temperature became an issue. The stock heatsink – fan wasn’t sufficient to dissipate the huge amount of heat fast enough. Have a look at the stock heatsink fan of the E5300 and the stock heatsink fan of the Pentium 4 HT 3.06ghz. Almost double the thickness.

Alright, I’m just waiting for the thermal paste from Reng Kwan as he bought a Q8300 for himself. It pwns all the chips here even before overclocking .. ==’  But anywaysssssss, I’m glad that this chip outperforms the Intel Core i3 chips which costs 2~2.5x more. hahaha.

Processor showdown =)

Dragon-i RM1 Chickeness..

The RM1 chicken from Dragon-i is back for the 3rd consecutive year.. I THINK. Maybe two.  This is their so called carrot to attract you to this place and end up ordering other stuff. Guess what? I fell for it! hahahhahaa..

As you can see, the bill says it all. It was supposed to be 1 chicken + 4 bowls of rice and maybe 1 extra dish but it ended up like this! Make that bill two because there was another table which fitted Phaik Joo, Sheryl , Sheryn and Mei Xin . My table had Sie Khai, Reng Kwan , Enoch and who else.. me.  I’m not going to say much about this place because the service was terrible (the food and drinks were just placed at the side of the table, not to the proper person), the workers have attitude problems and the best thing is, they would return the wrong change. I’d be glad if they had given more, but LESS? NO WAY. Query them in a polite manner, and what you’ll get is a cold stare from them mocking you about the small change that they have pocketed. I’ve personally completed the customer feedback form filling up all the lines provided and even the extra spaces pointing out to them how good my experience was at this lovely restaurant. Let’s see whether will my feedback form be read and any actions would be taken. Meanwhile, have a look at the food we ordered. =)

Boiled groundnuts and the RM1 Chicken. I know you can’t see the size from the picture.

Some fish thingy.

Stir fried fungus.

And this custard sweet tingy sponsored by Reng Kwan ^^.

Free foooooooooooood

Free but not really free because this was included in the fees already.

The school of IT had this Staff-student thingy for some thingy. What caught my attention was the free food provided after the event anyway… so here it is =)

Getting quite bored of these dishes already. Seems to be the same already or have I been going to that many free food events that they do not have other varieties to serve?

They had this tomato rice + pasta which were pretty much tasteless hahaha.. Then there was this rendang chicken I think or something else I can’t really recall the name and the fried chicken. Those were better but anyway no matter how bad or good it tasted, this was going to be my dinner and I had to get myself full =D. The popiah was soggy too. Urgh. Standard have indeed plunged. badly.

Even so, I still did have a second helping with the  food.. There were extra anyway, so no fighting for food. Pardon my messy plate though.. the plate provided simply wasn’t big enough to hold my fooooood.

At this point of time, which is already 2 a.m. I’m already getting hungry again. Looks like 2 plates were not enough..

Burgers and burgers..

Burger oh burgers… went over to Carl’s Jr with the burger experts Philemon Lim and Sung Jin for lunch and I found out that there were so much to burgers than just burgers. Being extremely frequent customers at Carl’s Jr. , they could even discuss with the branch manager about the SALSA sauce that was served.. ==’ . Both of them with the tagline “Even we have no money, we would get ourselves to Carl’s Jr. once a week”  . They went on comparing McD fries with Carl’s Jr fries all the way to Ramly burgers and so on..

The evil smile on every cup served.

Our orders lined up ready to served. As usual, mine was the one with the lowest pricetag =D .

Orders came not too long after and the crunch fest began. No cameras allowed.

nextttt!

I finally paired my mouse with a mouse-mat. It was showing signs of fatigue and there is a need to get the mat already. Then there came this wonderful offer from this guy who wanted to sell his mat that was a prize given to him at this really cheap price. I grabbed it immediately and oh golly this mat is huge! But not as huge as what Leonard says ” Razer mats are so huge you could even do yoga on them!” . It was much bigger than my previous free USM plastic mouse-pad though. This baby glides~

Size comparison between my old and new mouse mats =P

All in one..

Things have been getting messy recently. My domain is about to expire and recently my cheapo hosting provider kept failing. If I’m not mistaken, throughout the duration of my blog hosted on that provider, it went down around 3 times due to RAM failure and many many more times due to other reasons like DDOS and ridiculous reasons like user overusing the account. Anyway, I finally managed to sort out the server issue and I’m now hosted on a much more reliable server, I hope.. or else my blog is pretty much jinxed to be able to crash whatever server it is hosted on. Next is to look for a cheap domain renewal service. Arghh.

Enough of this and lets move on to food~ ahh…

Went over to Mei Xin’s place for steamboat…

4 of Sie Khai‘s 5 “wifes” doing the “sui gao” .Sheryl, Sheryn, MeiXin and Adeline.
Where’s the 5th wife SK? While the girls went on preparing the stuff, SK just couldn’t stop molesting the poodle Pudding..

The sui gaos~ were great.

Then there were these huge juicy prawns~  I’ll mention about Sie Khai here again, he eats prawns like nobodies business… The guy doesn’t leave that prawn alone as he scrapes the brains out and gobbles it down too. What’s left is just the shell. Urgh..

Sadly my stomach capacity reached the limit a little sooner than I thought and that’s the end of the steamboat. Next!

Cards!
Alright, notice the blackjacksssss and the 5 cards there? w00t! Okok we were not gambling k.. so people, this is legal. We were just using some tokens to play and that’s it. No money were taken out and all went back to the hosts milk bottle.

How high can you stack? xD

Groupie… Thanks to the host, Mei Xin =)
