allenooi — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:55:53 +0000

After flipping through the menu for several times, thinking of ordering the set lunch or a la carte, finally, I decided to order the a la carte – Paglia E Fieno.

Paglia E Fieno is a combination of Red & Green Fettuccine with Garlic, Salmon slices, Potato & Olive Oil. The potato and salmon slices come with a very generous portion. It is not a bad choice after all.

Barcode scanner is widely used nowadays, no matter in which industries. Even in a phone, you also can find the barcode scanner application. If you are owning a low to medium retail store, a posguys barcode scanner will be a great choice for your day to day barcode scanning. It comes with a light weight and durable body, and a 12″ range of scanning.
All these good features have made this barcode scanner a perfect choice if compare to others.

Address Plaque

allenooi — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:05:17 +0000

When buying a house, it will definitely come with the address plaque. At least, it will have the house number on it. Some will even have the road name together with the house number. Most people will just leave the Address Plaque as it is. However, there are people who will change it to suit their house design and decoration.

Address Plaque can be custom made or get it ready done. Of course, it will be more expensive if it is custom made base on your design and requirement. It also depends on the material used too!

Little Castle Cordon Bleu

allenooi — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:31:44 +0000

I wanted to try the Cordon Bleu from Little Castle for a long time. However, every time I go, it is on the Wednesday. The Cordon Bleu is on the set lunch menu on Tuesday. Since set lunch is more worth the price, I opt for other choice rather than ordering the Cordon Bleu from the ala carte menu.

Finally, I have the chance to try it on Tuesday. There are 2 choices, chicken or fish. I chose chicken.

If compare to other restaurant, Little Castle Chicken Cordon Bleu is a bit small piece. It comes with the fries and coleslaw. One thing I don’t like, they put the Cordon Bleu on top of the sauce. I prefer they have the sauce separately on a small bowl instead. Taste wise, it is OK, just a normal Cordon Bleu to me, nothing really to shout about.

Kids Shower Time

allenooi — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:17:36 +0000

It is not easy to get the kids to go for a shower. Sometimes, you will need to ask for many times and even need to drag them to go into the bathroom. In order to make the situation better, you can try to let them play toys in the bath tub. Kids like to play. At least, they will be looking forward for the shower session. Besides, you can get them the personalized kids towels, with the cartoon characters on it. They will be very happy to see them rather than just the plain towel.

Assorted Roast Meat and Teowchew Style Bean Curd and Egg with Plain Rice

allenooi — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:08:29 +0000

First time ordering this in Canton-i. Normally, I will order the Wantan Noodle with 2 combinations.

The Wu Bao Fan comes with the chicken, sausage, roast pork, Teowchew style bean curd and egg, total of 5 dishes. It serves with the plain rice and vegetables. It is not bad at all. However, I still like the Wantan Noodle more. This is only my personal preference. The Wu Bao Fan costs RM15.90 (if I am not mistaken).

Steel Necklace as Valentine’s Gift

allenooi — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:05:56 +0000

Valentine’s Day is just few weeks away. It is time for searching and shopping on the Valentine’s Gift. It always good to get the gift early rather than last minute shopping. You can slowly choose and make the decision. Besides, some gift needs time for shipping.

If you are still looking, maybe you can try to look for the steel necklace. Although it sounds simple, some really have a good design. Some time, simple is better, don’t you think so? At least, you have something special rather than giving flowers every year.

Tang Yuan

allenooi — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:00:06 +0000

If you want to eat tang yuan, you can have it anytime you want. Just go to the grocery store and grab the frozen tang yuan will do. There are a lot of varieties for you to choose from, some with paste and some without. I bought those with paste.

The above 4 glutinous balls are with different paste, which are red bean, peanut, black sesame and mango. Yes, you heard me right, mango! Among the 4, I like the one with peanut the most. Follow by black sesame, red bean and mango.

Band Saw

allenooi — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:58:58 +0000

Band saw is used most in wood or metal cutting. Sometimes, it will be used for cutting other material too. From time to time, the people who working on the band saw will need to check the condition on the band saw blades. If they are no longer sharp, replacement will be needed, to make sure the cutting will not fail in the middle of the processing. It will spoil the material if the blades are blunt.

Kuih Ka Pek

allenooi — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:47:39 +0000

One of my favorite Chinese New Year biscuit is Kuih Ka Pek. Once I started to eat, it is hard to stop. It makes you to have the urge to eat more and more, nonstop!

It is not hard to make the Kuih Ka Pek, but the steps are really tedious! Some people will put meat floss inside before fold it up. I like that too. Most of the time, it can only be seen during Chinese New Year period. I have no idea why people don’t make and sell it during normal time. If you are good in making Kuih Ka Pek, you can earn a lot just during the CNY time. This is consider a good side income, for you to have extra earning for the coming new year.

It is a good time for shopping and buying gifts to all the friends and relatives. For all the Chinese, you can start buying new clothes for the Chinese New Year in this festive season too, since Chinese New Year is just one month away. Many great bargains can be found from the shop or even online, including mens wide shoes and etc. You still have time for last minute shopping if you have not done so. Act fast before all the great deals are sold out.

allenooi — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:20:47 +0000

Chocolates have become one of the popular souvenir items for colleagues. Whoever travel to US, when they are back, they will put the chocolates at their cube, asking colleagues to get it from there. If many people back at the same time, you can expect to get a lot of chocolates. Below are the chocolates I got from my friend who went outstation recently.

I have eaten both of them. They are nice. Although they are fattening, I just ate them without having any thoughts. Evil always win when it comes to desserts. Anyway, thanks so much to my friend for the wonderful chocolates. Yum Yum.

No Life Insurance for Old People?

allenooi — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:05:02 +0000

Years back, I was thinking to get my mum a life insurance. At that time, the premium was high due to the age. However, I never bought it. Few years later, the insurance company that I bought mine from, no longer accept the life insurance for my mum. This is what my friend told me. I am not sure whether they have changed the policy or not. From what I see, they should have accepted this high risk life insurance. The only thing is, the premium will be much higher. This is for sure! Many artists or professionals in high risk industries bought a very high amount of life insurance. So, as long as you afford to pay the premium, it can be done. Just call to your insurance company and ask about it. They will definitely provide all the information needed.

Nissin Noodle

allenooi — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 06:27:30 +0000

During weekend, when I am lazy to go out and get a take out, I will cook the Nissin instant noodle. I like Nissin if compare to other brand. Nowadays, when cooking the noodle, I will add in some other ingredients. This time, I added intimate crab stick and Japanese Egg.

I bought the Japanese Egg for the Sushi. Since I still have some, I sliced it and put into the noodle. For the crab stick, normally I will just cut into half. However, I sliced it too together with the egg. It looks tasty, isn’t it? From a simple instant noodle, you can actually add in many other ingredients to make it more presentable and tasty.
