I have been to this restaurant twice, and the food is good by Malaysian standards. However, on my second visit (which was tonight) – I found out that you need to spend a minimum of £6 per person to eat in.
They must be paying a bomb for rental. Plus, the first time I went there, [...]

Char Siu revisited
To date, I have put my hands to claypot dishes, braises, sautés, grills… I’ve recently revisited char-siu again, and it seems to be okay. I’m still not sure which cut of pork is best. I tried tenderloin the last time, and that got burnt into a fish shape, and this time I tried [...]

I made ‘tau eu kay’

I learnt today that chicken should not be put back into the freezer after it has thawed, and that the meat contains moisture so that if you put it into broths or soups, the water content increases.
It’s indirectly related to the tau eu kay I made today, which is very Nonya, like my background (yeah, [...]

New Flickr Homepage!!!

I love the new Flickr homepage redesign. They’ve made it more easy to do common things on one page, instead of having to move about different pages.
Overall, the original page hasn’t lost its flame. It still shows your latest photos, photos from your contacts, and photos from other people. But it’s been upgraded to provide [...]

London can be tiring

It is starting to get colder, for some reason. It rained a few days ago, and I suppose that could be a contributing factor. This makes walking more arduous, as my skin cracks to the dry air around me. I suppose this is a drawback, but I prefer it to skin infections which were more [...]

UCL action has started

UCL quadrangle 2, originally uploaded by spkennedy3000.
I am dead tired from being out the whole day, but I just had to satisfy my curiousity and find out what the big deal ISOP was all about.
I’m glad they separated graduates and undergraduates because otherwise it would have caused a massive traffic jam and people wouldn’t be [...]
