Melaka today has more to offer than merely food and Jonker Walk.
Both may still be the first and foremost focus when one plans a trip to Melaka, but I’m telling you now that your itinerary should include the Nyonya Memoirs IF you are in the historical city on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
After sampling 20+ Ramadan buffets, I was particularly looking forward to this spread by China Treasures, which is commendably different from the ordinary. It remained value for money at RM118…
I grew up with Shaklee’s products.
My father was the GM of Shaklee based in Penang, and the office was at Macalister Road. I remembered spending after school hours sitting in the big mansion turned commercial building doing my homework while waiting for him to finish up for the day.
Naturally I consumed alfalfa and Vita Lea, tried to lose weight using the Cinch Energy Tea mix and the Cinch Shake Mix, poured Basic H into my laundry and washed my locks with Pro Sante Purifying Shampoo.
Thus, it was a nostalgic day last week when I sat at the spanking new Shaklee office in The Pinnacle Sunway and listened to Mr Victor, current President of Shaklee Malaysia spoke about Shaklee today.
Not much has changed, for the core philosophy of Shaklee remained; offering products that are safe, gentle on the environment and products that are proven to work.
I stepped into Atria Damansara Jaya for the first time today.
I remembered the old building, and certainly had formed my own memories of how it was back then.
It was a dream come true when I was told that Air Asia would be flying me to India.
I took the opportunity to step on Indian soil for the first time, and though it was a part of India unheard of (to me at least), I told myself it would an adventure!
The Visakhapatnam we see today is different from the Visakhapatnam just before Cyclone Hudhud.
It was a tragedy, for most of the Visakhapatnam we saw on this trip were the changed landscape, left from the devastation of Hudhud in October 2014.
Some of my friends had remarked that I have not updated much about food and “new places” around Klang Valley lately.
Well, if you want to be updated on my food adventures do follow me on my FB or FB page (fb.com/RebeccaSawBlog) or Instagram (instagram.com/wackybecky).
I rant there more often, and it is quicker too for me to spew out my dissatisfaction on the terrible food (personal opinions of course) that I had to pay for when dining out.
Seriously, for the amount of cafes and restaurants that are opening each week, you would think that I’ll be spoiled for choices to find a dining option for my lunch or dinner.
But no, every time I feel like heading out for a meal I’ll first google it online, and from the pictures alone I’ll be hesitant to visit.
There are times I told myself to “try it anyhow“, and more often than not, regretted doing so.
It is disheartening that less than 10% of these cafes/restaurants really stood out for the food. Again a quick disclaimer here, this is my personal opinion.
Most are prettily decorated, or dishes out fancy-mancy named items that are essentially embellished with unnecessary sauces and toppings.
Some are creative, but unfortunately more often than not the flavours aren’t in harmony.
Now, back to Crack Pork.
What I like about Crack Pork is that they get the fundamentals right, at the very beginning.
