After fixing the alternator and long shaft problem, 'FrankenBenz' has another problem waiting for me to tackle!!! Radiator giving me problem again even though I've just change to a new aluminium one!!! Luckily I have the habit of checking the water level almost everyday cause I'm shocked to see the water level on that day... Almost half of the tank empty and when I poured water in, I realized there was a pin hole leak from the bottom of the radiator!!! I got no choice but to drive it around as the leak was still okay for short distance driving... Just need to top up the water after every drive... Drove around searching for a radiator repairer that can fix aluminium one but it seems like it was not something easy... Searched the net and forum and this product caught my attention...

'Bar's Leak - Radiator Stop Leak'!!! You don't have to guess the purpose of this as it was written all over it!!! At first I was a bit sceptical trying out something like this as I got mix reviewed from the net... Some claiming wonders while some advise to stay away from it... I was sceptical because this product will stick to the radiator and block the leak... So if it can stick to the radiator, can you imagine where else can it stick to!!! A lot of places I'm afraid... But still I bought it and pour half bottle in my radiator... From the instruction, pour half a bottle in if your car is a four cylinders one and whole bottle if your car is six cylinders or more... Although 'FrankenBenz' is six cylinders, I decided to pour just half bottle as I don't want it to mess with my system... Start the car and let it idle for 15 minutes or more and you know what, it works!!! 

Next morning before starting my car, I did my routine job of checking the radiator for water and to my horror the water level was low again!!! In my mind I was thinking of $$$ flying off again as I might need to replace the whole radiator... Since I got nothing to lose, I took the remaining half bottle of 'Bar's Leak - Radiator Stop Leak' and poured it in my radiator... Top up the water and let it idle... Obviously, the leak stopped after a while... 

Fast forward a few weeks later, I believe the stuff works as my radiator is working fine now... No more leak... So if your radiator has a small leak, you might wanna give this product a try but make sure to pour the whole bottle in if you're driving a six cylinders car!!! 

Finally... The wait is over as 'Instagram' is ready for 'Android'!!! What took them so long to develop the app for 'Android' is beyond me but 'Instagram' for 'Android' is finally here... So you 'Android' fans out there faster download it and be the first to post pictures using one of the most awesome app created for photography lover!!! Another reason for me to switch side???

After blogging for so long, this is my first time ever to receive a cheque from 'Nuffnang'!!! Actually, I'm a little bit embarrass to post this up as the amount is not much comparing to other bloggers... I don't know how they manage to chalk up those amount in such a short time... But after thinking about it, I believe I know the answer...

1. My blog is not popular enough!!! Only a handful of readers and most of it are either my relatives or     friends...

2. My readers are not curious enough to find out what the ad is all about... If they are curious, I'm very sure that they will click the ad just to find out more about it...

Only RM201.32... But at least this is better than nothing... Doing what I love to do and get paid at the same time... Nice!!!

Nevertheless, I would like to thank all my readers out there who did helped me to click on those ad advertised on my blog!!! Without you all, this cheque is not possible... Lastly, please help me to click more in the future!!! :) 

I've said it a few times and I'm going to say it again... I don't fancy steamboat!!! But (there's a but this time...) before I proceed let me introduce you to a restaurant that changes everything... I'm proud to say I'm a convert now!!! I'm in love with steamboat now but (again a but) only if we dine at 'Sumi Nabe Steamboat'... This is a steamboat restaurant that I'm willing to go without pulling a long face... So what is so special about this particular restaurant??? First of all, they categorize themselves as a 'Japanese' steamboat restaurant... Secondly, they uses charcoal instead of gas and thirdly, they uses porcelain/ceramic (don't really know whether is it porcelain or ceramic) instead of stainless steel for the pot...

The charcoal that they use are not those found in 'satay' stall which produce lots of smoke and not forgetting dirty as well... They uses high quality charcoal that is extremely hot and smokeless and this is what I really like about it... 

 One of the must try item is definitely the chilli!!! Only one word to describe it... AWESOME!!!

This is the pot that I'm talking about... The benefit of using this instead of stainless steel is because it retain heat a lot better... I have something like this at home (mine is made from glass) and I can really feel the heat even when the gas has been turn off for quite some time...

Only one type of broth available so good news for those that have difficulties choosing... The broth is really what I like about this restaurant... Really sweet and I don't feel thirsty after drinking it which is something really important to me... 

 Nicely decorated and not forgetting cozy as well...

Frankly speaking, their menu are somewhat limited... But fret not as there are side orders which you can always order!!! They revise the price recently and it cost RM35 for a set (the picture above is not the one which cost RM35 as I took this picture a few months back) which is more than enough for the two of us... 

 Vegetables are all organic according to the owner...

 Not so sure about these though...

All these above are included in the set but there are some difference in some of the items as they revise the price and some of the ingredients... 

 Additional pork strip that we ordered... If I'm not mistaken it cost RM15???

Once the soup starts to boil, there is no way you can turn the heat down... 

Charcoal mee that is incredible... Really good taste and I really like the texture of it... I don't like to eat mee that feels mushy!!!

So there you go... The restaurant that single-handedly change my diet!!! From a hater to a lover in terms of steamboat...

Woo hoo, finally 'Instagram' is coming to 'Android'!!! Oops why am I so happy about it??? I'm not using 'Android??? But my darling is and who knows maybe in the near future I might be switching over to the dark side!!! Muahahaha... I believe introduction to 'Instagram' is not needed as most people know or hear about it... In my humble opinion, this is the best camera apps around!!! No other apps come close to it... So all 'Android' users interested in this awesome app, please head over to http://instagr.am/android/ and register yourself... Just key in your e-mail address and when they finally release the beta version, you will be notify!!! Now all I need to do is to sit and wait!!!

Between physical and virtual keyboard, I will definitely choose the former as I like the feeling of typing on a real keyboard... And here's the problem when it comes to 'iPad' as it came with a virtual keyboard that lacks feel when typing on it...

But fret not as this problem can be solve easily... Introducing the 'Zagg' keyboard made by 'Logitech'... Before I got my 'iPad 2', I saw this keyboard from the Internet... After seeing the price tag, I decided to give up on it as it is expensive and not available in 'Malaysia' at the moment... Instead I got myself a normal casing to protect my 'iPad 2'...

Nowadays, 'Logitech' is trying to clear off this particular keyboard as they have a new model... And this is good news for me as the price is much more affordable as compare to before... I don't mind it being an old design as I still love its aluminum body and the construction looks really sturdy and solid... The downside of this keyboard compare to the new one is the bulk of it... Much more bulkier and harder to store the 'iPad'...

Those are small problems for me as the feeling of typing on a physical keyboard far outweights the cons of it... I'm really happy with my purchase and this is a highly recommended add on for those who type a lot on their 'iPad'... In fact, I type this entire blog post using it!!!

Normally whenever we went travelling (which required us to fly), we would most probably get someone to fetch us or took a cab to the airport... This time round, we don't have anybody to drive us there so my darling suggested we drove there instead... The moment she told me that, I looked at her astonished!!! Then I gathered my composure and asked whether she's out of her mind... "Do you know how expensive it is to park at the airport"??? And her answer is a "yes"... So she started to explain saying that it is actually much cheaper compare to taking cab... After listening to her, it really does make sense to drive and park there...

Our flight to 'Singapore' is early in the morning and it required us to start our journey at around 5 something in the morning and I believe the cab fare would be around RM80 or more per trip!!! This in fact was much more expensive compared to our parking and I have not added in the trip back which will set us back another RM80 or more... So as a conclusion, if you're going on a short trip, it is wiser to drive and park at the airport... If you're travelling light and alone, then this is a different story as you can take other types of public transport that's much more cost effective...

In my personal opinion, I find 'John Carter' kind of old school (since it was based on a book written in 1917 so I guessed you can't really blame them)... Besides, they decide to mix and match a few movies together and the outcome is 'John Carter'... Is it just me or do you guys find a lot of similarities between this particular movie with 'Star Wars', 'Gladiator' and even 'Avatar'??? I do...

Nothing wrong with the movie overall just that it feels boring from time to time... And it feels a little bit confusing at first... What I really like is the ending... A slight twist is what I really like in movies... Another thing that I really like is 'Woola'!!! Suppose to be a hound on Mars I guess... It looks cute in a weird kind of way...

'Woola' with 'John Carter'...

Overall nothing to shout nor complaint about this movie... If your time is really precious then I suggest you skip this movie and save the time and money for some other movie instead (in the future maybe... 'The Avengers', 'Battleship' and etc)...

When one visit 'Singapore', what is the food that's high on the must eat list??? For me, definitely the chilli crab... I know we can get chilli crab here in 'Malaysia' as well but according to my darling (who had tasted it before), it was one of the best crab she ever tasted and not forgetting the size of the claw!!!

So this time round, my wonderful friends in 'Singapore' decided to let me feast my eyes and not forgetting my taste bud as well on this culinary wonder...

 Fried mini squid that is super duper crunchy and flavourful!!!

Very sinful to eat this!!! Guess my cholesterol level will sky-rocket to a new height!!! BIG prawns by the way...

Here comes the cream of the crop!!! 

OMG, notice the super duper BIG crab claw??? According to the waiter, I'm really unfortunate because the supply of crabs that day were a lot smaller... What??? This is BIG enough for me!!! The taste is definitely better than those I've tried in 'Malaysia' and there is no doubt about that... Besides that, the crab is super fresh and the meat is juicy and sweet as well... My God, I totally agree with my darling now...

Just look at the claw and they said this is one of the smallest around!!! Hmm notice anything unusual??? They actually provide apron for their customers!!! That's not all because besides apron, they provide gloves as well!!! All my friends decided to wear it and I go the manly way of dirtying my hands and shirt!!! Frankly speaking, I regretted for not wearing the apron cause my shirt is bloody awful at the end of the day!!!

Gloves that I mention earlier...

One of the side dish that really compliments the chilli crab is none other than deep fried 'mantou'... In 'Malaysia' we only have deep fried version (if I'm not wrong)...

But in 'Jumbo' they serve steamed one as well... As I don't fancy steam stuff, so I did not try it... No comment on how it goes with the chilli crab gravy but what I can say is deep fried 'mantou' with chilli crab gravy rocks!!!

They have a lot of other variants but we opt for chilli and black pepper... Doesn't look promising at first glance but trust me, after sinking my teeth on one, I'm hook... And at the end of the day, black pepper is the one I choose... Surprisingly but yes, it is that good!!!

Bottom line is, 'Jumbo' really knows a thing or two on cooking crabs!!! This is by far the best crab experience I have... Thanks to all my friends in 'Singapore' for this lovely dinner... :)
