Seeing that the month of January is the new month of a new year, I’ve tried to encourage my friends, fans and readers to inculcate a healthier and active lifestyle by sharing 21 variations of ONE simple exercise that is FREE, does not require any equipment, can be performed alone and does not require any travel to a gym.
I’m a fan of Chilli’s salads.
Yes, Chilli’s sounded like an unlikely place to be having salads right?
As someone actively involved in various exercises from hiking to yoga and dance, I’m always on the lookout for good value sports wear that provides the right support.
Psstt…
Hey, are you a fan of salted egg yolk?
No?
Oh, it doesn’t matter. You got to try this.
** RM15 for a big portion main plus a drink – this offer is valid from 26th to 28th February 2016.
UPDATE:
3rd April 2016:
This is my 2nd time savouring the rich, unique cheesecakes from Moody Cow Cafe Penang, courtesy of my godsis who is in KL for a short holiday.
That also means I didn’t have to put up with the cafe staff surly attitude since I did not have to visit the cafe myself. Thank god! 
The century egg cheesecake is one of Moody Cow’s latest creation and as weird as it sounds, it is actually not as terrible as it sounds.
In fact, Moody Cow’s range of cheesecakes are good (based on those I’ve tried) and their durian salted egg yolk (Hybrid) is one of my personal favourites.
It is just the service that I couldn’t tolerate. Thus if someone is willing to buy it for me, I’ll eat them.
The 2 cakes I got this time are the century egg cheesecake and their best-seller cempedak cheesecake.
Verdict on the century egg cheesecake:
Rich chocolate base and thick cheese provided the main flavours for the cake.
Toppings of sweet spicy anchovies (ikan bilis) and peanuts plus the gelatinous century egg provided the texture.
So imagine this now; with each chew in your mouth (take a forkful from top to bottom and don’t miss the century egg!) you get sticky thick cheese, sweet and spicy and nutty and crunchy whenever you bit into any of the anchovies and peanuts plus the rubbery century egg with its creamy yolk and distinctive odor thrown in.
Too much?
I agree.
Foul?
No, it is not.
An acquired taste for sure!
Verdict on the cempedak cheesecake:
This was superb!
Pungently rich in both the flavours and scent department thanks to generous amount of cempedak flesh embedded within the cake, the top layer is a lighter mousse-like layer with cempedak flesh blended in while the lower cheese layer is the denser, richer layer.
2 other layers are a slab of rich chocolate and a base of dense chocolate cake (more like brownie).
Thanks Min Sing for the treat!
I’m keeping an eye out for future “interesting” creations from Moody Cow and I’m seriously wondering what could be next!

Does salted egg yolks pair well with cheese?
Yes, it does actually.
Many sacrifices are made when one leaves home and migrates to another city, state or country.
Home flavours is one of them. For Penangites we have heard it all the time, they have the best char kuey teow and prawn mee.
For Ipoh it is the hor fun and dim sum. Melaka lay claim on the most authentic Nyonya fare (though I personally find that debatable) while the east coast has their nasi kerabu and lekor.
Sarawak’s laksa and kolo mee are legendary.
Now, what about Sabah?
Other than seafood and fish noodles (I’ve only been to KK twice) I drew a blank myself. It was only nearly a year ago that I knew of “tuaran mee” and that it is available in KL!
A friend who is a Sabahan gushed positively of Ah Soon Kor’s Tuaran mee.
It took me a year to get myself here for I’ve wrongly assumed that the noodles are only available in the mornings. Since weekday mornings is not an option, weekend mornings were all I had.
And trust me, weekend mornings are just as difficult to secure a slot.
I got Cerventus to thank again for this.
After ONE visit, I got hooked and now Ah Ho Nasi Lemak is one of my favourite breakfast spots in Melaka. Heck, Ah Ho might possibly be serving the best Chinese version nasi lemak in Melaka, for other than the Malay variant available at Ming Huat in Pasir Ujong I don’t think there are any other around that offers the same?
Well, if you have any to recommend, I’m all ears!
So there was this topic going around about the best pork ribs in KL/PJ (or should I say the Klang Valley?).
I’ve actually shortlisted my own list of which some I’ve tried, some I haven’t. The ones that I haven’t tried are in fact the ones I wanted to try, but all in due time.
There’s only that many ribs one can eat in a month.
