Thing 15: Meat in Claypot

Fancy some Bak Kut Teh around Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya?

Here's an option found somewhere in the courtyard of the Centrepoint complex in Bandar Utama.


Called "Meat in Claypot" this shop serves individual BKT Claypot sets at RM11.80 per pot. You can pick your preferred cuts.

Yau ja kwai (chinese fried bread stick) sells at RM2.

In a gastronomic emergency, this is a decent place for an emergency porky lunch.

Thing 14: Street Art in Petaling Jaya

Spotted this at that Forum 19 Food court near the Rothmans Roundabout.



Some Designer told me that lady must be some art student's lecturer. Ya think?

Thing 13: Ben's at KLCC

Ben's has a new outlet (formerly housed by California Kitchen) in KLCC.

Seems its soo trendy to do minimalism for decor these days.

Feels like the kind of place you can do your power lunches with clients. Might be a bit noisy when the full lunch hour crowd is in. Works fine if you want it to drown out your private conversations.

Hence, its a cool place for a hawt date.

Thing 12: Pin Xiang Chicken Rice

Hidden in a new area of Bukit Serdang, this little corner factory lot serves a chicken rice lunch with your usual options of beansprouts, roast pork, bbq port, vinegar pork trotters.

Other than the roast chicken which was a tad bit too dry and tough to our liking, the roast pork and bbq pork dishes are definitely worth a go.


To top it off, try ordering their coffee.... suited for your average kawkaw fans.

(After passing the Astro building on your right, you will see a new road on the left with a Bukit Serdang signboard, turn left there and head straight in for 300 m. Ya can't miss it.)

Thing 11: Bkt Desa Mamak finally Reopens

Yepz.. for years this has been a convenient place for us Bkt Desa folks to get our dose of moon light and mamak food.

Its now taken over by Nathan's (Jalan Bukit Desa 5, Taman Desa, off Old Klang Road) who serves Banana leaf rice for lunch. Will give u more updates as I try their grub later.

This must be the 3rd proprietor in 5 years and possibly the one who spent the most on decor so far.

Its your average banana leaf. Average taste, average price. Will try more later.


Eh..one other thing.. the new owner tells me that they only plan to open until 12 midnight daily... sigh*

Thing 10: Mobile Prepaid Data Packages from Maxis vs Digi

Recently, Digi announced that they would discontinue the RM5 maximum data charge. This means that users must consciously select a data package before they start surfing on the Digi SIM cards or your data charge will burn a big fat hole in your purse.

The same applies for Hotlink Prepaid from Maxis. To check their packages, dial *100# and reply "7". Daily package currently priced at RM8.



To get the best deals for Digi, dial *116# and pick the package you want. Daily package now is RM3.

If u select the daily package, MAKE SURE u turn it off by midnight or they will automatically charge you for another day after that.

Thing 9: Maxis Pocket Doctor

Been seeing the Maxis Pocket Doctor Ads and I decided to find out what its all about.

this is what i found on the website

I tried to sign up for the WAP service but it didnt seem to work with a nokia handset:
This is what I got when surfing into that site:
B b but.. I AM USING a Maxis card!!! Maybe they're only meant for Apple iPhones eh?

I also tried out the Fitness Tips at RM3.00 a month. Here are some of the tips I received:

"when exercising outdoor, breathe in through your nose, not your mouth. The nasal passages help filter out pollen, pollution and other irritants."

"Studies show that fatness can be reduced by regular physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity 3 to 5 times a week, for 30 to....."

"Push-ups and bench presses can improve overall upper-body strength."

I received about 9 messages by the 20th day but then the 3 day later renewal message started appearing. So all in all, I reckon each message cost me about 33cent a piece.

Think I'll give this a miss.
