I’m living it up in Penang; eating, resting and indulging in my all time favourite activity – daily hikes up Pg Hill and running my rounds in Botanical Gardens.

This year I have vowed to make some changes. Some sort of new year resolution. While I have never made any over the years (cos I’m a firm believer of making change anytime it suits me and it’s never about the time of the year), I had thought it would be timely to begin what I had in mind at the start of 2013.

My gym and fitness regime does what it’s supposed to do; keep me slim though I eat too much for my own good, but it still falls short of satisfaction as I have yet to achieve anything more than just maintaining my weight. But more on that later.

I have successfully embarked on a new skincare regime and now I can proudly proclaim that I cleanse, tone and moisturize twice a day. Yes, that’s an achievement considering the fact that I barely do that for 3 decades. More on the products I’ve been using – The Obagi range from Japan, bought from http://www.facebook.com/cliqueclinic by the end of the month.

Chinese New Year Menu 2013: Di Wei Chinese Cuisine Restaurant, Empire Hotel Subang

One of the more memorable reviews from the total of 14 Chinese New Year feasts I had this year was at Di Wei Chinese Cuisine Restaurant at Empire Hotel Subang. Di Wei had been in my radar for a while and I had wanted to sample its modern Cantonese porky cuisine (yes, it’s non halal!) but as usual timing and work had got in the way.

I finally stepped in last Saturday and in my effort to sample Di Wei’s offerings, I had even postponed my VW Beetle -Ipoh trip to late afternoon instead of early morning departure.
And boy, I was glad I did! Di Wei’s scrumptious food was well worth the sacrifice!

The moment I walked into the dining room, I was greeted with a giant bowl of Poon Choy. That was an unexpected surprise, as I had thought the review would be in the usual sequence of Yee Sang followed by the other 7 courses. Moreover, it is my first poon choy ever, so you can imagine my delight that I’m finally able to sample one!

Today Asus launched a tablet that’s basically for everyone; the Asus Memo Pad, priced at an affordable RM499. That’s like the cheapest “branded” tablet in the market now (if I’m not mistaken)!

I had very good mooncakes, rice dumplings and even sampled West Lake Garden Chinese Restaurant’s Chinese New Year menu last year. This year, if possible, I’m liking their food even more.

At the point of sampling, I’ve had 6 Yee Sangs prior and this unarguably took the title of the best I have had.
The plate offers more fresh ingredients than the dried and fried items which I don’t really fancy. The salmon was the thickest served to me for yee sang so far and its fresh and firm flesh sure did made every bite of the yee sang even more enjoyable.

With Chinese New Year barely a month away, preparations are well underway for one of the most celebrated festive season in Malaysia. Other than selecting the ideal venue for the annual Chinese New Year feast (you can refer to my LIST here to see if that helps), decorative items, mandarin oranges and dried meats are flying off the shelves.
Hampers are popular too, and one of the better ones I have seen so far are the ones offered by BRAND’S® .

I had a preview of their hampers during a recent launch of the BRAND’S 2013 Chinese New Year Campaign Launch.

In true Chinese New Year fashion I have tossed and lou sang-ed my way through 11 Chinese New Year menus as of now. I have also recently witnessed my first lion dance and a massive lighting of 8 foot long firecrackers, all at the Hyundai Showroom & Service Centre – Shah Alam by Sutera Gemilang Auto Sdn Bhd.
