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)...
