Angry Birds Fever!

If you go to the morning markets, the malls, the street stalls and almost every where, you’ll see people peddling the infamous birdy and piggy stuff… The RED, YELLOW, BLUE, BLACK, WHITE birds and the GREEN pigs have some how invaded our life.
One of the weekend morning, I went to the wet market near my [...]

Finder Keeper

On the day we celebrate PiggyBeng’s birthday, was the day we went to check out the new Tesco at Tanjong Tokong as we were too early, the restaurant was not opened for business yet. Therefore, we swung by Tesco for a short while.
We were extremely lucky as that day was a pretty crowded day (they [...]

KFC Breakfast Set – Expensive and a BIG letdown!

I think a lot of people are avoiding KFC after their recent scandals where their kitchen staff were caught tampering with food preparation. A few weeks back, I received a copy of KFC’s breakfast promotion vouchers in my letter box. I’ve never purchase any of their breakfast items before as I find the food in the menu [...]

Dining @ Dynasty Far Lim

We saw a new restaurant opened next to Red Bali (opposite Sunshine Mall, Far Lim) somewhere end of last year and never went to try it until early last month. I brought my parents when they were here to attend my maternal grandmother’s funeral. Coincidentally, PiggyBeng was away in Melbourne so that was why they [...]

Mall hopping

On Friday, we did what we usually do when we are in KL… mall hopping! It is unusual for us to do that when we are in Penang as PiggyBeng is not a mall rat like me! I can shop from the moment the mall opens till they closes their doors!
So, what is [...]

Trying to save RM1

… but got slapped with a RM150 fine!
How did that happen?
About two weekends back, PiggyBeng was away on one of his business trip to Jakarta so I decided not to cook and brought the kids out for dinner. Initially we have wanted to have KFC behind our house but thought we are having KFC too [...]

Baby G 1st Beach Day Out

Another extremely back dated post!
On 22 January 2011, we finally set our foot onto the beach after a very long hiatus. I can’t remember when was the last time we were there but it was definitely way before we conceived Baby G. We did went to stay at Bay View Resort when I was at [...]

Dim Sum @ Red Tea, Far Lim

Sunday is normally Dim Sum Day if we do eat out for breakfast. There is only one place PiggyBeng will go to and that is Red Tea which is located just opposite the old Sunshine Far Lim warehouse. Why only this place? All because of the huge parking space available on the ground of Sunshine [...]
