Birthday Haul

I just want to share what I got for myself on my birthday

Tang Shifu Restaurant

The master of all soup, it's a restaurant that has overly good services, the waiter actually was standing there waiting for our orders and at the same time listening to our conversations.
My point is, you cannot call yourself a master when you only served herbal soup. I know herbal soup its good for your health, but not everybody will like it. If you want more business, then you must have a variety of soup to capture more market share. Our country is fill with people from different races. Eventually your shop is only for Chinese, out of all the chinese people how many of them will like herbal soup ?
Your menu come with set meal, but I notice that there is no vegetables in your set meal, make your meal not balances.
I am not here to condemn to restaurant, but it's merely my point of view if you want more business. Just analyze, try to capture bigger market share, if a Malay can go in to a steamboat restaurant, then there are still non Chinese out there who loves soup. Then your business will grow.  I know that the ingredients are fresh and you use the best herbs for your soup, this was clearly show on the dishes that are served. 

Poppy Thai Restaurant in Melaka

To my knowledge, there is only 3 Thai restaurant in Melaka i.e King's Hotel, Lerk Thai in Aeon Jusco and Poppy Thai. I have tried all these 3 Thai restaurant. I have review King's Hotel Thai restaurant before in my facebook page. Today I'm going to talk about Poppy Thai Restaurant recently opened in Taman Melaka Raya, Melaka.
This Thai Restaurant is cheapest among all the Thai restaurant that I mentioned above. This restaurant is open by Thai people. They talked in Thai language among themselves and when they take order, they write in Thai language. How I know, I happen to notice it. They have a lot of variety in terms of dishes, rice and noodles. Their Tom Yam Kong is sour and spicy, their fish is fresh ( when a fish is fresh or not you will know). When I first walk in to the restaurant, it's quite scary as not much people is inside, and you will think that maybe the food is not nice but it's vice verse. Don't judge it's book by it's cover. Most important thing is the price they charged is reasonable, good service and their place is clean. It's worth a try.
Ok, what are the cons ? Don't order fry rice, their fried rice does not have enough of "wok heat" translate in cantonese that you will know what I talk about. My colleague who went there for lunch and order a pineapple fried rice have the same opinion. For dessert, I tried their Red Ruby and Mango Sticky Rice. Their Red Ruby is not very Q Q. I think that King's Hotel dessert's it's the best among all the Thai Restaurant.
This is merely my opinion, If you are not agreed then close this page.

Steam Jinak Fish with Chili Padi and Lime Juice. They actually have a small candle burning below. Their gravy is full the sourness of lime, the spicyness of chili and the sweetness of the fish

Fried Oyster With Egg and Bean Sprout - Thai Style

Tom Yam Kong. This soup has other sea food but only the fishball is floating on top.

This is Thai Red Chicken Curry. This is not as scary as Thai Green Curry. This curry is full of Thai spices, where the gravy is not as thick as Malaysia curry. I specially like the eggplant in the curry.

Movie Review : The Japanese Wife

I bought this DVD long time ago.
This is a love story between an Indian man and a Japanese woman. Two person with different background and cultural in love with other without meeting that person.
When they are married, there is no ceremony, only a letter between each other agreeing to married. Sometimes marriage is not about a piece of paper or how grand is your marriage ceremony, but it's the trust between 2 human being. Both of them is loyal to each other even though they are not legally married.

Movie Review : 7 Days To Leave Your Wife

I watch this movie over the weekend..This is a Thai Movie ..... a romantic comedy that talk about the facts of life in a funny way. This is a story of a man who must leave his wife within 7 days or else his mistress will leave him for another guy.  The story was convey in a funny way but at the same time its really reflects the reality of life. I do sympathy the wife, but also understand why the man find the wife no longer interesting.
If you are like me, went to a DVD stall and found nothing to watch, then you can pick this up.

P/S: What happen to Hong Kong movies lately, there is no quality and no meaning to their movies anymore. As for English movie ... well there is nothing special lately.
By the way, "SMURF" is so boring and disappointing.
