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 [...]

I used to love eating apples in the past but of late, I started to shy away from them not because they are getting expensive but rather the diminishing in quality. When I was much younger, we don’t get that many varieties of fruits available here except for the common apples and oranges. Those days, [...]

Great title? How I wish I am forever sweet 16 eh?!!!
This year my birthday fell on a Friday which is one of my favorite day. PiggyBeng works half day on Friday so it was a good day… no less. The day went on smoothly though there are still a few yelling [...]

On the 28th of December last year, most parts of Penang island were effected by the water disruption due to some upgrading work by PBA. Though we kept water in our house which is more than sufficient, I felt that it is extremely inconvenient since we are so used to having the taps. So, to [...]

This is another very backdated post.
On Darrius’s actual birthday after we had breakfast (the famous beef noodles in Taman Tayton) and dropped PiggyBeng at the KLIA Express station, we adjourned to Kidz Sport at Bangsar Village Shopping to celebrate his day with his cousin, Adrian. At the same time I wanted to check out Marmalade [...]

Are you a bread lover? If you are, then you should have heard of Lavender Bakery which has a few outlets in KL and in Johor too!. Actually they started in Johor back in 2000. How I wish they have one here in Penang!
The first time I purchased from them was about 3 years back [...]

During our last stay in KL, I braved up and drove around with the kids tagging along. The very first time we made was a trip to 1 Utama. Very terra eh? Actually driving in KL was not that bad after all except for the constant jams and much longer journey as compared to Penang. [...]

The weekend before we went to KL, we had dim sum at Town Steamboat Restaurant. I was not aware of their new business (selling dim sum) until recently. All along I thought they only operates at night doing steamboats which we visited some time back. Before they took over the premise, Red Tea House used [...]

Yesterday was a public holiday here in Penang. It was the first time we celebrate Penang as a Heritage city which got its approval from UNESCO last year after much hu-ha. Most schools and civil services got the day off but the MNCs operated as usual since most do not recognize this as their holiday.
So, [...]

I was casually telling PiggyBeng on Friday that after living in Penang for almost 6 years, I’ve not been to Bukit Tambun for seafood. Guess what was his reaction? He said ‘lets go to the zoo and have seafood at Bukit Tambun tomorrow!’ Wow! That was quick! I thought he was just joking [...]
