在SERI KEMBANGAN上班的日子- 美食篇

不知不觉在新的地方上班已经来到第四天了。这里的环境跟过去CHERAS那间真是天渊之别。地方大很多,可能是刚装修过的关系吧。再加上Seri Kembangan是华人地区,诊所外面就有很多茶室了,走几步路就到,方便得很。

昨天同事带我到附近的茶室吃著名的鱼头米粉,果然很美味。汤很浓很‘甜’,应该是熬了不少时间吧。我选炸鱼头,骨比较多,但肉很爽脆,我喜欢。同事选鱼滑,下次我要试试。那儿的服务不错,而且很快就端上来了,省下不少时间。环境有点闷热,可能是人多加上鱼头米很烫,我们吃到一直冒汗。
好吃!一碗要RM7,不便宜,但值得一试。


这是SAMBAL,跟米粉一块吃特别美味。

今天中午有多一位同事和我们去吃午餐,所以我们到诊所外面的喜来登叫菜吃饭,也是很出名的一间酒楼,我家老一辈的人都知道。我们都不太会点菜,就随便选了几样,味道都不赖!

这是一人份的汤,每人一碗。里面有鸡肉,‘老黄瓜’,吊片等。。。 就是那种很滋润的老火汤。

招牌豆腐,也很好吃。用那汁配饭,可以吃好大一碗。

我们还点了梅菜排骨配馒头,那馒头很软,还热乎乎的,可是我没拍照,懒惰了,因为太饿的关系?哈哈。。。

My Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830- Comparison with iPhone 4- Part 1


*Images from http://www.gsmarena.com
Finally, I've bought my first smart phone. Last saturday I went to SS2, planning to get a new iPhone 4 using Digi Plan. However, when I stepped into the Digi centre, there was only one customer service officer who's available to explain the plan + package to us. With the whole lot of people inside that store, we waited for quite some time and not been approached properly. So I ended up buying Samsung Galaxy Ace from the Trans Mobile shop nearby, a shop which we have been frequent and I like the after-sale service provided. The phone price was RM899 in august, I did survey the price after I back from Sabah trip. However the price has been marked up to RM950 due to shortage of stock by Samsung + raya holiday period. In the end I bought the phone at the price of RM930. I signed up the Digi Postpaid Smart Plan 48, with 1G unlimited mobile internet/month. The good thing is I'm not under contract, so I can switch to other plan or company if I'm dissatisfied with the current provider. So far the service is ok.

This phone comes with a microSD card with 2 GB storage, very small compared to iPhone 16GB/32GB, but so far is still enough for me. Maybe have to get a 32GB card next time for my phone, lol. The camera is 5 Mega Pixels (2592x1944 pixels) with autofocus and LED flash. However, secondary camera is not available, a small limitation which I don't really mind as I do not like the opposite image by secondary camera.


The 2 photos above are taken by iPhone 4, the original size + quality, without any photoshop effect. These photos were taken without using any flash light too. As you can see, the image quality is comparable to those taken by digital camera. Now let's look at photos below...


Photo A above: taken by Samsung Galaxy Ace (without modification / photoshop) , without using flash light. Quality is acceptable but not as sharp & good.

Photo B above: When using flash light, the quality (without modification / photoshop) is better and quite comparable to iPhone 4, although the later still slightly better.

to be continued...

A Satisfactory Meal @ Sushi Tei, Tropicana City Mall

2 days ago I went to Tropicana City Mall with my younger sister to watch The Smurfs. After enjoying the hilarious movie,we decided to have dinner at Sushi Tei. I been to this same restaurant last year to treat my friend a dinner on his birthday, I remember the food quality was above average and quite expensive. As my sis has been craving for Japanese food for a few days, we decided to give it another try.

We stepped into the restaurant around 7.30pm, the usual dinner time for most of the people, so not surprisingly the restaurant was quite full. Initially we planned to sit around the sushi bar but already taken by other people.


As usual, I have my hot green tea (RM2). The waiters will refill your tea continuously without being requested, good service!

Potato Salad, a dish that I'll definitely order in a Japanese restaurant. RM7.80. (More expensive than Sushi Zanmai & Sakae Sushi)
Okosama Sushi- RM8.80 for this whole plate, a more economical choice

Specially requested by my sister- Special Unagi Roll, our favourite. RM27.80. This is expensive but super delicious, much tastier than Zanmai and Sakae, needless to mention Sushi King or Genki. The unagi was still steaming hot when served to our table, I could see the smoke. I believe they are freshly grilled upon customer's order.
Yum yum Salmon Sushi- RM4.20
Salmon Mentai Sushi- RM6.80, another MUST try sushi, finger licking good!

The whole meal cost me RM68.90 inclusive of 10% service charge and 6% government tax, my treat for my sis after getting my half month bonus (actually already finished spending all the $, lol).

iPhone or Android Phone? Maxis or Digi?

I've been using my Sony Ericsson k610i since 2007, I still remember the phone was bought after I got my 'tunggakan gaji' , thanks to the 40% salary increment for all KKM (Ministry of Health) staffs at that particular year.



I like this phone for its durable quality. It has been dropped endless time, onto a hard ground, into a basin of water (thank god it's clean) and been splashed with spilled water. I should be happy for it being able to function normally until... 2-3 months back where people start complaining they are having difficulties in calling me. This is not that good when people call you for urgent matters, or to call you out for a date, haha. But of course it's good when you have good reason if your boss complain that your are not contactable, haha.

Anyway, since then I've planned to buy a smart phone. iPhone 4 is still the best option for me because my sister and frenz have been using it and so far no complaints. The image quality is the best too among all the other smart phones. But up to now I still not sure which plan to sign up if I were to use iphone. I've been using Maxis for 10 years and quite satisfied with its service, but many friends keep telling me Digi plan for iphone is better than Maxis.

If I wanna choose a smart phone which is less costly, I'll go for Samsung Galaxy, and the plans for both cellular operator companies are equivalently good. But I still haven't make up my mind to buy which phone, to sign up for which company's plan, or shall I just get any of the smart phone without data plan??? Then how am I going to kill my time while doing locum, if there's no data plan for my smart phone? (The wifi at that area sux)... Maxis line at my locum area is weak too, but I still have to think twice if I were to use Digi as most of my family members and close frenz are using Maxis.... I dunno what to choose...
