This is not meant to be a comprehensive guide on using Maxis Hotlink prepaid data. Rather, I will just be sharing what I learned from experience. Maxis Hotlink is probably the easiest SIM card to get hold of in Malaysia, and it does have the widest coverage, so it is recommended for travellers. I have … [Read more…]
Klang and Bak Kut Teh are synonymous. If you don’t live in the Klang valley, it is a real treat to eat Bak Kut Teh whenever you are in this region. Many lay claim to having invented Bak Kut Teh, but the origins of the dish as well as the name “Bak Kut Teh” (肉骨茶 which … [Read more…]
Pasar Malam, or night market in Malay, is popularly held throughout Malaysia. Roads are pedestrianized for one particular night of the week for the market, which, unlike the morning market, attracts a crowd that includes youngsters. December is a particularly good time to go to the Pasar Malam, I just discovered, because the weather is … [Read more…]
Kluang is a favourite stop along the North South Highway when i can afford the the 50 minutes, 38km return trip to Kluang from the toll plaza. I’m there just for one thing – Kluang Rail Coffee. As the name suggests, they started off as an outfit selling kopi, toast and snacks at Kluang train … [Read more…]

I’ve been through the 2 to 3 hours ordeal before and will never want to repeat the experience. Instead of joining the queue, I prefer to stay for the night. Granted, … [Read more…]

This makes Yong Peng the no-brainer pit stop along the KL to Johor Bahru stretch of the highway, since you’re in Yong Peng town the moment … [Read more…]

Besides purchases, i also scored two bonus payouts totalling $29, which is a lot. I notice that … [Read more…]
I think the most commonly used cooking pan nowadays is probably a non-stick coated pan. People love that food, especially mushy stuff like eggs or rice, don’t stick to a pan. No doubt a non-stick pan can be used by even an inexperienced cook, but did you just accept without questioning that it is the best for cooking? … [Read more…]
I get nauseous easily from watching non-stabilized video, so I never wanted to get a camcorder to record video that I know I can’t bear to watch later on. However, i now need one to record the proceedings of an upcoming indoor event. With an under S$100 budget in mind, I turn to Taobao as … [Read more…]
First off, it is important for me go clarify that this is not a paid review (and I say again that none of the reviews on this site is). 65daigou and many of the third party Taobao parcel forwarders pay bloggers to write reviews. Reading paid reviews always feels distasteful to me and takes away … [Read more…]
