HEINZ Exotics Malaysian Laksa Soup

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on HEINZ Exotics Malaysian Laksa Soup

My bro was curious when he saw HEINZ Exotics Malaysian Laksa Soup at the hypermarket, so he bought it. It’s made in New Zealand. I’m sure you are very curious too on how will it taste or turn out. Malaysian Laksa made in New Zealand, didn’t really make sense eh?

There you go… The colour looked awful.

Taste wise, the spiciness was very mild. It’s sweet, thick and creamy. A bit yucky towards the end though *LOL* Wasn’t very bad. I forgot to take note of what kind of ingredients were in the soup, my rough guess… Bamboo shoot, noodle, chili, lemon grass, coconut milk, tamarind that’s all I know.

Not really sure what to expect because there are so many versions of laksa in Malaysia. I have no idea which laksa this one resembles to.

I’m trying to search for more information about HEINZ Exotics Malaysian Laksa Soup online but couldn’t find any. Hmm…

Old Town White Coffee @ KIA

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Old Town White Coffee @ KIA

I’ve never dine at Old Town White Coffee until last week. The first outlet in Kuching is located at Kuching International Airport. The second one is at Hills.

Since we were at the airport that day, I thought that the others would be joining us for dinner, so I decided to try out Old Town White Coffee, who knows… They all didn’t want to eat, said that they will just eat on the plane. Cheh… If I knew, I would just go for dinner somewhere else.

Can you see the receipt? GOSH! The fresh lemon tea(cold) actually cost RM5.50! I thought the glass would be big but guess what?!?! The average size glass you could find out there in market might just cost you more or less RM1.50 but the one here was so small, so much smaller than the average glass. Imagine that?!?! Made from gold water I guess, the lemon and tea might have been grown with gold soil. The price I would expect with this size and for such establishment at the airport, RM3-4 might be reasonable but RM5.50 is just too much -.-”

After this experience I will never ever go to Old Town anymore even the one in town. Unless I’m not the one paying. Heart attack I tell you. I would rather go to Starbucks for the drinks.

Anyway, how’s the price at the one in town?

For the food, we ordered the cheapest noodle but even the cheapest cost RM9.80 each! Thought the portion was big after seeing the bowls on other tables but aiyoyoyo… Big bowl only, the content was so little. Such portion with such price, really cut throat. The most expensive noodle I ever had in my life and it’s not like it’s the most delicious one, it’s just so-so. If it’s RM5-6 maybe acceptable but RM9.80… Not good.

Left: Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun. It’s on the sweeter note, don’t like it.

Right: Assam Laksa. Taste wise was not very bad but nothing to rave. At least it’s much better compare to the one I had last time at a kopitiam. Just the price… *shake head*

That’s my experience with Old Town at KIA. Not worth to spend such money on such food -.-” I would have more food and nicer food with such money at some other place.

The Borneo Funk Fest ’10 (BFF ’10)

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on The Borneo Funk Fest ’10 (BFF ’10)

Did you go to The Borneo Funk Fest ’10 at Grand Margherita Hotel yesterday night? Are you still there now?


Went there early yesterday, before 7pm, the crowd wasn’t that great yet. You know… It’s still early to party. However, towards the night, the place was filled with people! The balloon coconut trees were so cute! How I wish I could carry one home LOL…


The stage and the surrounding.


The drink corner, you could buy soft drinks, bottled water, some cocktails, or beer. While waiting for the crowd to build up, the DJ spinning some music to pump up the mood of the party.


Left: Finally at 8pm, the show started! The MC was very entertaining.

Right: Amy Winehouse(she’s the look-alike, not the real one) was the first to perform.


Left: The little girl that joined her on stage, she was good! The star in the making, I don’t remember her name, either Misha or Aisha.

Right: Next up it was Madonna(the look-alike of course!) She performed and also went down the stage to interact with the party goers. She really sang like Madonna and she was quite entertaining.


Left: Again… The little girl joined her.

Right: I wanted to wait until Lady Gaga(the look-alike again ;p) but due to certain circumstances, I had to leave early. I missed out on the hunt for the ambassador too. I heard from those staying till late that “Lady Gaga” sounded similar to Lady Gaga. Cool!

It was a great night. Tonight is the second night.

I had recorded the short videos of both performers but no time to upload them yet. I’ll post them tomorrow and you can judge them for yourself. 😉 Mind you, they came all the way from the UK!

Wasn’t a Good Day

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Wasn’t a Good Day

It was not a very good day for me today but at least nothing bad happened. Should count myself lucky.

Just now, I got a scare. I almost sandwiched a motorcyclist. I forgot my driving license, I only realized it not very far from my place and decided to turn back using the nearest junction. I remember when I came out from the earlier junction, no vehicle was behind or next to me. The road was practically empty, so I decided to make a quick change of lane, the later junction was on the left, the distant wasn’t very far between the two junctions, had my signal lights blinking ever since the beginning.

When I almost turned into the junction… SCREEEEEEEEEECH! There’s a motorbike on my left, I was shocked, if not for the screeching sound because of the sudden break of the motorbike, I wouldn’t know there’s a motorbike -.-” I had no idea where it came from and happened that when I switched lane, the motorbike was not visible due to the blind spot and during the crucial seconds also I was making sure no car came from behind me from the other lane and I missed him from my radar. Even my bro didn’t notice him on our left. I’m sure the motorcyclist was damn pissed with me. I almost killed him! I’m partly to blame for making a sudden change of lane and turning. Feel so bad about it. Imagine… If I sandwiched him, it will be a disaster.

That incident really drained me out and some sort of spoil my mood for the night. I wonder I can sleep or not or it will replay once I close my eyes. Sigh…

No more sudden change of lane or sudden turning even though the road is practically empty next time. You’ll never know something, somewhere that falls at the blind spot which cause you to miss.

Anyway, think of the bright side, nothing bad happened. I’m still one piece, the motorcyclist is still one piece too. Have to thank my guardian angel for that.

Good night!
