Blup Blup meetup @ espresSOUP Plaza LowYat

June 7th, 2010, posted in Events, Food, Random rants, Shennanigans

Well yeah, Simonso of BlupBlup invited us bloggers to have a taste of the first soup kiosk in Malaysia. Located in the heart of the city, Plaza LowYat, you’ll never get soup-deprived ever again. =p

Well espresSOUP does not only serve soup (duh) but also salads, various croissant and pastas! Best part of all, the drinks… i don’t know what’s it called, but its awesome!

This is the exact same bread used to fill the soup in it. Well, yea that’s how it is served. The soup is poured on this bread. Its called the farmer bread, made up of wheat and rice flour.

I ordered the err i forgot what it is, but its contains clamp. Oh whatever la, as long as i know its FREAKING AWESOME!

So how do you eat it? Here’s how!

GOD was so angry at man kind for all the sins they have committed. And so he wants to wipe out mankind… God sent the great flood… and Here’s how it looks like….>>>

BE HOLD THE GREAT FLOOD HAS COME! WHERES MY ARK?!!!!!!

Wilson say BOCOR! (hahha you know i know la)

Actually you cut the bread into pieces and flood it with the soup. That’s how you eat it. Please don’t just drink the soup, leaving the bread all alone =( Its edible ok! lol

The croissant . Nice.

Anyway, i really do think this thing is worth your penny. I am a big eater, hell yeah! (NOPE I DONT WANNA HEAR! YOU GUYS DONT SAY ANYTHING! SHHH!!!! ) But the soup and the bread itself is enough to fill my stomach! I don’t need no pasta or side orders to get me pumped up. All i need was just the soup and that filling bread. Seriously. And guess what? Its only Rm7.90 <3 it.

Ok la, as usual, camwhore pictures right.. tsk tsk…

Almost every blogger in this pic. ALMOST. Lol

Boss of EspresSOUP and the blupblup guys. And oh pls ignore that sicko. =p AHHAHAH

EspresSOUP get two thumbs up for being that shop that offers alternative to our mums mushroom soup. While it may (or may not) taste better than our mums, at least it is comparable to the ‘premium’ soup usually served in up market places.

Verdict : 4/5 =)

And oh yeah, Thanks Simon and BlupBlup for this treat. It’s greet hanging out with familiar faces and meeting new upcoming FAMOUS bloggers. Bring us out more la SIMON! To Genting perhaps =p And oh yeah, what car you won la?

House of Buffet tasting session!

January 9th, 2010, posted in Events, Food, Random rants, Shennanigans

Thanks to Ah Pop of http://smashpop.com, we bloggers get the opportunity to try some of the finest dishes in town. Buffet Style babeh! House of Buffet (HOB).

Its just next to Lowyat plaza, making it really convenient for patrons/shoppers to have their bite at anytime of the day.

Being the new kid on the block, we bloggers are expecting something really scrumptious and awesome while having out teeth sunk into the so called ‘fine dishes’. But before we get into that, lets look at the interior.

The interior spots a really upper class environment for customers and a very cozy setting. When you step into this place, you could down right feel like its a fine dining restaurant, which in fact is not. What makes this place stands out is the decos and the design itself. Along the walkway and tableside, there’s a mini lake. It looks really elegant and it gives you the ‘upper class’ feeling. LOL

If I’m not mistake, this place has 5 sections; Japanese, Malay, Chinese Fusion, Salad Bar, Ice Cream Bar, Cake counter and Drink Counter tho the Tempayaki section is not open yet.

The raw section of the Japanese Buffet.

Nope. Not Good. Honestly, the sushi wasnt that fresh. Dont know why, but it seemed dryyyyy…. The raw section was good tho. The Salmon and the Ham is really tasty.

The tempura and bilis was awesome. I love the bilis especially. Anchovies in English. LOL

They served this to us. Coconut drink!!! Really cooling and refreshing. Especially when you know the air cond is not working at their place. =p

I don’t eat muscles, but this muscles is not your ordinary muscles. It is cooked with cheese and man, i can eat this thang all night long. It has this fried feeling and the cheese just eliminates the smell away. Really awesome stuff.

I dont know what is this, but the gravy has this sweet taste and it gives the chicken a lip smacking points from me. This chicken is ordinary but the gravy is its M15. Love this.

Salad Bar

Now here comes their signature dish, specially prepared by the chef for us.

I particularly love this dish. According to the chef, this is a Mexican influenced dish. The roll taste just like spring roll with a hint of some Mexican herds. Its exactly like the spring roll/popiah my grandma always make during festive season. Of course this is just my bias taste buds as i love popiah very much. =)

HOB also serves Baskin 31 Robin ice cream and that’s the part we bloggers are looking forward to. Nevertheless, sorry to say, the cakes are not worth mentioning, so i wont post it up. =)

Overall, there’s room from improvement for this newly opened buffet style restaurant. It doesn’t has the wow factor but at the same time its not that bad. The dishes that i mentioned are worth your taste buds. Although the Japanese food section failed me, but at least the hospitality we received compensate for it. There are rooms for improvement and i wish you guys luck. Then again, thanks to SmashPop a.k.a Jason Goh and HOB for hosting us bloggers. It was an awesome night. We went home a happy man. LOL. Full and happy! weee. =)

Value for Money: 3.5/5

Service: 4.5/5

Environment: 4/5

Food: 3.5/5

Verdict: 3.5/5

Sorry. My camwhore fail can. =p

Mind Your Own Business -MYOB!-

May 29th, 2009, posted in Random rants, Shennanigans

Hey i am back from the exam shyte. Gah its killing me and i know, my blog post, like i said has been really lame as of lately. But i really cant help it. =p Studying. xD

Anyway back to my blog title. The reason i actually decided to use that as my title is because i got irked by people these days who gets really critical and tense up over the blog post of others.

Not only that, i even noticed that a lot of nasty comments have been exchange between these bloggers and the ‘busy body’ mindless soul which most of the time does not posses a strong stand in their accusation.

I also notice that some people create blogs for the purpose of defaming people or shooting baseless accusation + nasty comments that is hurled at that certain individual.

Some even goes to the extent of leaving nasty remarks at the comment space or cbox of the blog.

All of these has gone beyond the basic rule of Cyber law which condemn defamation in any sort of form although generally the cyber world are in support of free speech. The law actually do not allow any sort of defamation in any form although free speech is the ‘in thing’ right now. Free speech with limits that is.

Well, the thing here is I really do not understand why does a person or an individual is being really concern with the post of others. I really do not understand the reason behind the whole thing. The matter which was raise by that person doesn’t seem to concern him/her, what more affects his/her daily life. The be more exact, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DAMN LIFE. If you don’t like it, then ignore it and proceed with visiting blogs of others that has the same mentality as your pie hole.

May be you might say that you are just giving an your cheap 5cents but heck your 5cents is worth a million with the sarcastic remarks, vulgarity, baseless accusation, nasty remarks and such that intent to degrade or to destroy ones reputation. What more when that matter really doesn’t concern you! Like SERIOUSLY!

Are you going to die for the post that he/she made? Are you going bankrupt with his/her statement? Heck, no. Then it would better for you to actually provide your absence to the cyber world or at least enough for the writer to not notice you presence and save your 5cents for something more intellectual like how to write a better post that generates income and visitors rather than an article full of hatred and unintelligent remarks.

Talking about blogs that are created to degrade an individual, the whole thing has gone beyond the whole purpose of blogging and it really portrays a perception that somehow or rather bloggers are always condemning and complaining and whining about everything and everybody. Some blogs that defame people are really really insulting and it really portrays a bad image of bloggers in general and to the person accused of.

Why cant we life and let life? Is it necessary to defame someone anonymously, online?

Who don’t one defame that someone openly? I mean if you don’t like his/her attitude you should in fact tell that person directly so that he/she is made to known of her attitude or whatever it is. And then that someone can start changing him/her self instead of you being all tense up over that someone and get nothing out of it. I REPEAT, NOTHING! gah, why waste your breathe and energy typing and typing and typing suggestive statement and in the end being all unhappy?

And last but not least, is anonymous comment. Its my second time receiving anonymous remarks on my cbox. Gah, don’t ask what did he/she say, its obliviously something nasty. I don’t mind your hurling nasty comment at me, just provide me with your real identity and ways i can get in touch with you. Isn’t that better? At least you that shows you have some balls rather than empty sags right?

That being said, i just hope bloggers out there really know the ethics of blogging and the cyber law of course. Blogs are meant to be as a personal diary not a platform to show your manly temper and destroy ones reputation. Being civilized is the key to maturity. Acting civilized is they key to respect.

And with all due respect to all the bloggers, i just wanna say MIND YOU OWN DAMN FREAKING BUSINESS AND STAY OUT OF SUCH INCIVILIZED ACT!
