Queensbay Dragon-I

Recently, they open a branch in Queensbay Mall, Penang ( Queensbay third floor) and I decide to give them a second chance. Surprisingly, the wait staffs here in Penang are extremely attentive, fast and accomodating. They receive a thumb up. The place is crowded but the service was fast. I was there early so I did not have to wait.

I love the cosy corner with these low sofas and lots of cushions. Since it is very new, the cushions are all cushy and great for hugging. But I wonder what condition they will be like in a few month? Hmmm..so, go to Dragon-i faster and enjoy it now. A trip to Dragon-i is incomplete without a bowl of la mein or hand pulled noodles. I like it plain. A bowl costs RM8 and I can taste the flavours of Chinese ham in it. In case you have not seen a Chinese ham, it is this huge, dried and preserved whole pork’s leg. The pork leg is VERY HUGE and sold for several hundreds RM. A little bit like prosciutto. It is very nice when make into stock but unfortunately, they don’t sell the Chinese ham in small portions. The only choice I get is the canned ones which go for about RM20+ from specialised shops. The size of the tin is like the luncheon meat. Very expensive but it is worth it if you know how to make delicious stock.

If you have not been to Dragon-i, well, it is a cosy place. There are lots of small dishes to sample and plenty of spicy foods too, if you prefer something hot. The above is a plate of thick slabs of duck’s meat, crispy crunchy soya skin, honey glazed lotus seeds and not in the picture steam pancake. It is meant to wrap the duck’s meat and the other stuffs. Quite an enjoyable dish.

PTPTN

Nowadays very thing had becoming online.. so for those who had borrow PTPTN, it is reminnded to pay them.. i had discover that PTPTN loan are based on monthly repayment charges for its loan. For those who are unaware .. the interest is becoming higher when you don pay them for a month..
Lets say:
u owe PTPN - 100 and make the interest is 10% fr easy calculation
Jan- 100 + 10 % = 110 .. if u din pay so it will be 110 + 10% and its continuous....
so if u pay.. the interest will be lesser and lesser when months comes..
Beware so .. pay your PTPN monthly so u can reduce ur monthly interest..

Rojak

Rojak means "wild mix" in Malay, and is often used to refer to Singapore's diverse racial mix. Rojak is a punchy and piquant local salad of fresh fruit and vegetables such as sweet turnips, pineapples, cucumber, bean sprouts and unripe mango. These are cut into bite-sized portions and tossed in a bowl with dried soya bean cakes (called 'taupok' by the locals) and fried dough fritters (also known as 'youtiao'). With deft hand movements, all of this is mixed into a unique dressing of fermented prawn paste, fresh ground chilli, sugar, lime juice and roasted peanuts.
The devil is in the details - the best Rojak stalls include tiny slivers of fresh calamansi rind and wild ginger bud to create an even more aromatic and tasty salad.
There are many places selling Rojak in Penang. You can find the rojak store along Gurney Drive as well as in New World Park.

Muar Chee

There are some Chinese snacks which the other races should copy. Because they are so tasty and easy to make. For e.g. the muar chee.
Muar Chee is made from glutinuous rice paste, steamed. And then, it is cut into small cubes and mixed with grounded, roasted peanuts and sugar. One can choose whether to add some fried onions on top too. Muar chee stalls are found outside the bigger schools, along Gurney Drive and few other markets. One of them is outside the St. Xavier primary school. It cost RM1 for a small packet. Its also very hardly found now in Penang. Now, it is really hard to find. From what i like is in Gurney Drive as well as behind One Stop Midlands.

Ice CreamSteamboat

IceIce Baby (Autocity) version which is served with fresh fruits, bread and cake. A pot of melted cheese and a plate of accompaniments cost RM26.50++ which is enough for two persons. We had a great time taking shots and also enjoying our ’snacks’ dipping into the cheese and our fruits dipping into the chocolate. Overall, try for first time, not for second time. Whoever never been there before, plan your time to try the cheese fondue or chocolate fondue there.There is a choice of melted chocolate or melted cheese.

Strawberries- cancer prevention

Even though strawberries exhibit great nutritional benefits, they are not a complete food.Strawberries provide an excellent source of vitamins C and K, fiber, and flavonoids. They also offer a very good source of vitamin B1, iodine, manganese, and pantothenic acid. Strawberries are also a good source of vitamin B6, folic acid, and biotin. The flavonoids contained in strawberries are responsible for most of their health benefits. Like other berries, strawberries' anthocyanidins are their most powerful flavonoids. Anthocyanidins are also responsible for the vibrant red color of strawberries. Studies have shown that due to Strawberries' unique flavonoid content, they are effective in protecting against inflammation, heart disease, and cancer.

Malaysia RM 50 new note

Bank Negara Malaysia is issuing a new RM50 note, the second highest denomination in a new design Malaysian currency notes series (3rd series). The new series incorporate new security features and retain some of the existing security features to deter counterfeiting. The new series will circulate alongside the existing series until the existing series are gradually phased out.

The theme of the new series, "Wawasan 2020" reflects Malaysia's economic development and achievement towards a fully developed country. For the RM50 denomination, the background motif depicts the mining sector. This is represented by a central oil drilling platform together with wellhead control valves. In the background are images of oil pipes - symbolic of the many branches of the oil industry. The new series will also use RM as the currency symbol for the Malaysian Ringgit.

The security features of the RM50 denomination are highlighted here as a guide to the public. These features include the security thread with the repeated "BNM RM50" text, three-dimensional watermark portrait, optical variable strip known as "LEAD®", anticopy feature known as "PEAK®" and security fibres in the paper. The new RM50 note retains the green and blue predominant colours of the existing design RM50 note. The size of the note is also slightly reduced to facilitate easier handling and to be consistent with size reduction of other denominations in the new series. The intaglio (raised printing) of the portrait of the first Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong is retained as a dominant feature.
