Cartoon

In my youth, I recall spending time watching Cartoon on the telly and get entertained for hours on end. It was funny and hilarious. The animations were just superb. Now with 3D technology, the pictures and animations are even better! But you have to wear 3D glasses for the special 3D effect in the cinemas. There are also 3D technology televisions but they are still very costly at this point in time. Nevertheless, it will be some years before every household owns a 3D telly at home. I love how innovation makes our lives so much easier and livelier. Thanks to researchers and scientists, our lives have improved by leaps and bounds.

I Love Food

I love gourmet dining at any Chinese restaurant and currently have the financial means for some pampering almost every day. But I guess when I retire, then I may have to eat street food or hawker food instead of restaurant dishes. My friend is rather generous and I get free treats often and as long as we have incoming projects, this can sustain our lifestyle for some time to come. Otherwise, most people in their retirement years will either cook at home that is much cheaper or take hawker food just like my parents. Mum is lucky in the sense that she does not have to cook and we daughters are footing their expenses with monthly allowance of $600 and for my case, $650. I am a little obese now, but have to watch my diet so that I can stay within the healthy range.

Yaz Litigation

I used to work for an aunt who is an attorney and solicitor in Singapore. She has her own office in the business district of Shenton Way. I was just a temporary secretatry while looking for a permanent job elsewhere. So, to tide over, she employed me on a temp basis and this is where I learnt a bit about her law business. She was doing mainly conveyancing law, that is sales and purchase agreements of properties which is very lucrative as compared to doing yaz litigation.

But nevertheless, whatever area of law you are doing, it is service to the nation as a whole and you can never discount the contribution to society. People at large need litigation for criminal law to defend their cases in court. You will need someone articulate and gung-ho, with the ability to convince the person is innocent and fight for his case in a civil lawsuit.

Penang’s latest eatery serving giant river prawn is House of Udang Galah (HUG). Located on Hutton Lane, the restaurant housed in two renovated heritage shop houses offers fresh udang galah (giant river prawn) cooked in many different ways. Italian, Western, Malay, Indian and Chinese method of cooking is offered. The prawns are cut into halves and cooked with the head and shell intact.

One of HUG specialties is the Udang Galah in Chef Specialty Lime Sauce. The prawns steamed with garlic, chilli and ginger, made up a perky and appetising dish. Garnished with Chinese parsley, the dish costs a little fortune at RM109 (730g at RM15/100g).

scallops in Mongolian sauce

We ordered scallops in Mongolian brown sauce which has a piquant taste, and garnished with a mini happy Buddha and green parsley. This dish was tantalizing with the succulent scallops infused with the Mongolian sauce flavour.

The above is sweet and sour fish topped with cut vegetables and drizzled with a combination of sauces like tomato sauce, vinegar, a dash of sugar, salt to give its distinct flavour that complements the fish fillets.

The meal is not complete without an order of drinks with fresh watermelon juice for me and a cuppa of hot cappuccino for my friend.

house of udang galah restaurant ambience

This is the ambiance of the House of Udang Galah (HUG) restaurant. Udang Galah, also known as “Giant River Prawn” or “Malaysian” prawn, is native to Southeast Asia – typically in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Many years ago, Udang Galah was very common among the natives, who would capture and cook them fresh to preserve the aromatic taste and succulent texture of the flesh. Today, Udang Galah is no longer known to many Malaysians.

In fact, Udang Galah is part of our national food heritage. This large-sized fresh water prawn, which has a very big head in comparison to its entire body, can only be found in very few local menus. However, they are highly priced and hence, not a affordable choice to many. This is why we came up with this unique concept restaurant, the House of Udang Galah where everyone can see it, feel it, taste it and think of it always!

The House of Udang Galah is a unique concept restaurant that provides unrivaled fresh Udang Galah cuisine in a variety of styles you can choose, from an affordable price. Udang Galah served on your table are freshly cooked from live stock. Whether you prefer it in Italian, Western, Malay, Indian or Chinese, you will find their menu satisfying.

TASER M26

When you come face to face with a mugger or attacker, you need to defend yourself with your TASER M26. This is one of the best self defence in case of a sudden attack. If any close encounters happen, it can deliver the shock to 1 inch thick of clothing. You can never take your security for granted and need to ensure that you have this safety gadget at all times in your handbag. It can also protect you from robbery and potential murder should the robber be armed with sharp knives. The TASER M26 looks like the perfect gift for a girl friend who may be unsuspecting of her hostile surroundings everywhere.

Have won in a Combined Cookout

I have won in a combined girl guides and boy scout cook out with Penang Free School. I was in charged of outdoor cooking using bamboo as the gadget in a camp and finally emerged first many years ago. I guess I was at my peak performance both academically and physically. Receive a two feet tall challenge trophy to be displayed at my house for at least 1 year before returning it to the organizer. At such as young age, I was elated and very pleased with my success overall. I shall never forget this incident and might even journal it down someday.
