Not wanting to be left out, Visa now partners with Shopback and dishes out more cashback if you go through the Visa promo page. However, they can’t actually force you to make payment with a Visa credit/debit card on the actual merchant’s site. All you have to do is to fill in the first 6 digits of … [Read more…]
I’ve wanted to do this for the longest time – homemade Japanese curry, and i bought a packet of Garam Masala since probably a year ago with this recipe in mind. My verdict? It is more Indian than Japanese. I guess it has to do with an overdose of Garam Masala and butter. I also … [Read more…]
These buns can supposedly be made in an hour, and I actually tried, but found that it really takes more than an hour if you want it to rise to the proper size, and besides, it is quite a rush. With the lesson learnt, i prepared the dough the day before and let it rise overnight … [Read more…]
I know it sounds lame, recommending supplements from iHerb. Supplements is almost entirely what iHerb is about. I suppose when iHerb started, they were selling mostly supplements, from which they probably derived the name iHerb, rather than the literal herbs (for cooking). Well, they’ve expanded their product offering a lot since then, selling toiletries, snacks and even … [Read more…]

I was half expecting the beer to be under carbonated, since i used less sugar for priming than recommended, and was a little unsure … [Read more…]

Now that Telcos are forced to slash prices due to competition, it is even more so, because their margin doesn’t allow them to dangle handsets to lure … [Read more…]
Hainanese curry rice is pretty common in Singapore, but not so much in Malaysia (by the way, it definitely did not originate from Hainan in China). I don’t recall ever seeing Hainanese curry rice in KL, but apparently you can find them as far north of Singapore as Malacca. In any case, it is not easily found … [Read more…]
I had initially wanted to taste the beer from my first project before i start another round of home brew (it’s 8 weeks since i bottled them and i will start tasting them only from 10 weeks onwards). Then i thought, what if run out of beer! So i quickly made preparation for the second round of … [Read more…]
I think most people will be wondering what a suction pump can be used for. This one is actually meant to be used for vacuum packing blanket, comforter, bedsheet and the like, to reduce the space needed for storage. As such, it is quite a heavy duty pump, designed to draw a lot of air out in as … [Read more…]
