dodol Swiped from williamnyk . What am I holding in my hand? 1) A mortar shell 2) A dildo 3) An ear of corn 4) An oversized suppository 5) salami 6) One of the magic beans from "Jack and the Beanstalk" Well, it's actually dodol in a fancy dried-leaf packaging. So Elven waybread, right? I bought it for my brother for when he came back after the Raya holidays. Me: Hey bang, nak saya belikan dodol dan lemang? Bro: What kind of question is that?! Of course buy la! He always tells me that he's deprived of good Malay food in Singapore. Can't find a decent nasi lemak , etc... But truth be told, KL food ain't that great. Banyak tipu-tipu. It seems that every Tom, Dick and Harry can open a stall to sell substandard traditional fare-- Penang Laksa la, Nasi Dagang Kelantan la, Laksam la, Nasi Kerabu la .

Tekka Udon Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Had a farewell dinner for my colleague the other day as she was leaving for Dubai. Earlier in the day, some bosses already organized a farewell lunch for her as well. The lunch was predominantly non- halal as they were preparing her for the 'dry season' in Dubai. Enough to make you swear off meat for a month. Dinner was held at Matsuba, Desa Sri Hartamas . I ordered my usual, the Tekka Udon set-- Udon on ice; maguro maki; misc. sushi; misc. sashimi; and a salad. We were boisterous as usual. Lotsa gossiping and being nonsensical. At one point, we even whipped out our laptops for a Happy Tree Friends viewing. It was after dinner, so no worries about losing appetites, just perhaps concerns of keeping dinner down. I hear that Dubai's a land of ridiculously-starred luxury hotels and a shopping paradise. The sales are genuine, especially for branded goods. I wonder if I can expect a souvenier from Hermes, Ermegenildo Zegna, Prada,

GoogleBuy - Google Money Originally uploaded by labnol.blogspot.com . Touted as the PayPal killer, the arrival of Gbuy is highly anticipated. It has not escaped the attention of my colleagues, but it is for the wrong reason altogether. They giggle at the slightest mention of its name. Proof that the people from Google who thought up the name are not hokkien as well, as in the case of Mel Sampat . While searching for a 'suitable' picture to post from flickr , I came across an exact title match-- a picture of a bun with a striking resemblence to female genitalia, proving that GBuy has already raised snickers elsewhere... But I chose something a little more tasteful. Cheers.
