'Texas Chicken' is finally in 'Malaysia'!!! As far as I know, currently there are only two outlets available... One in 'Klang' and another in 'Sri Gombak'... As a self proclaim fast food junkie, I will try my very best to try out all the new fast food joint in 'Malaysia', 'Texas Chicken' included!!!

Frankly speaking, after trying out their chicken, I will only say one thing to 'KFC' and my former love 'Popeye's'... Bye bye!!! The chicken is ridiculously BIG and not forgetting tender and juicy!!! And don't get me started on the biscuit!!! It is absolutely marvelous!!! Very nice butter taste with a tinge of honey... Coleslaw and mashed potatoes are incredible as well... Definitely one of the best fried chicken around... So be warned 'KFC' and 'Popeye's'!!! You already lost one customer and I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who agree with what I've just said!!! Be prepare with more customers patronizing 'Texas Chicken' from now on!!! 

How can I miss 'Quentin Tarantino's' new movie??? I just love the way he film... 'Django Unchained' included!!! In my opinion, this is one hell of a movie... Bold and gruesome and not forgetting violent...  Really violent and truly 'Tarantino' with all the blood oozing and splatting everywhere!!! Storyline wise, not as good as 'Inglorious Basterds' but still better than a lot of movie out there... If you love 'Tarantino', this is definitely a must watch movie!!! Two thumbs up from me...

After changing to a much BIGGER intake, I believe the time is right for 'FrankenBenz' to have a new piggyback ECU after the disastrous 'Unichip'!!! I'm going for 'GReddy E-Manage' and I'm opting for the basic version which is the 'Blue' version as I think the 'Ultimate' is a bit overkill for my application... I just want an ECU to adjust the air fuel ratio and also the ignition timing which the 'Blue' can handle without much problem...

Hooking up the ECU is very straight forward unlike the 'Unichip' (not as easy as most tuner are not so familiar with it)... After hooking it up, it is time for dyno tune up... I was really ecstatic as the power is much  higher comparing to the time when I'm running 'Unichip'... But too be frank, I don't really know whether is because of 'E-Manage' or the BIG ass air filter that is making the power... But I assume that both contributed to the increase... 

Last time 'FrankenBenz' is making 246.52whp running 'Unichip' with 1 bar of boost... Now, 'FrankenBenz' is making 260.19whp!!! with 1 bar of boost as well!!! Besides that, torque figure went up as well from 301.34Nm to 331.22Nm... I'm really happy with the result!!!

I've been running the 'E-Manage' for a few months now and no major issue so far... But the engine did died on me on a few occasion and it can be restarted right after that (it happens when someone step on the wiring loom)... So no major problem if you ask me and I highly recommend this to those running '1JZ GTE' engine... 

To be continue...

Nowadays it is a must for parents to be to have a set of sterilizer at home... The function of the sterilizer is simple... To sterilize the milk bottle and pacifier... Older generation will never understand the sterilizer as last time the only way to sterilize a milk bottle is throw it in boiling water and boil it...

When I knew there's a new 'Avent' sterilizer, I told my darling that this is the model that I will get... At first she don't really want me to buy this as it is much more expensive than the older model... I told her the benefit of it and in the end she gave in and I got the sterilizer that I want!!!

The benefit of this new 'Avent' sterilizer is the ability to put in lots of milk bottles with ease!!! The older version can only put in 6 milk bottles and not much space for the teat, cover or pacifier!!! Not very efficient in design if you ask me... This new version can easily swallow 6 milk bottles with lots of room to spare!!!

If you go travelling you can just carry the top part and leave the middle section at home... Less bulky and that's the beauty of this new 'Avent' sterilizer... Highly recommended for those looking for a sterilizer... You will definitely love it...

Another long overdue post that are suppose to be posted a month ago!!! If you're a 'Lord of The Ring' fans, then this is definitely a must watch movie in your list... This is the prequel to the 'Lord of The Ring' franchise... Just like 'Lord of The Ring', this is a three part movie as well... Nothing much on the storyline as most of you will, already know what this movie is all about... It tells the story of 'Bilbo Baggins' and how he manage to find the infamous ring and not forgetting what he encounter during his adventure!!! Very similar to the 'Lord of The Ring' in the way they film it... I think that's about it I guess...

I'm very sure by now almost all 'Malaysian' have heard of 'Johor Premium Outlet' or better know as 'JPO' as this is the country first ever premium factory outlet store... These kind of shopping is very common in oversea and why 'Malaysia' doesn't have one all these while is beyond me... 

I really enjoyed shopping at these places as you can buy branded goods at a much cheaper price... But quite frankly I'm a bit disappointed with our version of premium outlet as the selection is pretty limited (but still better than nothing!!!)... Although limited in selection, we still managed to get ourselves something!!! 

 

Ok so will I go again??? I guess the answer is a yes if I'm quite free and got nothing better to do... Will probably bring 'Mikayla' along when she's older!!!

Recently I'm really busy with my princess that I hardly have the time to blog!!! She alone occupied most of my time including my personal time where I use it for browsing the net or updating my blog... Sometimes I don't even have the time to switch on my desktop computer!!! Luckily I still have my 'iPad 2' where I can just on it in a second and have a quick browse...

I got myself a Bluetooth keyboard a couple of months ago and till know I only have the time to really put it to the test... I'm actually writing this blog post using it... The keyboard that I got myself is call 'Zagg' and it is by 'Logitech' which is fame for it's computer accessories such as mouse and keyboard... What I really like about this 'Zagg' keyboard is the use of aluminium just like the 'iPad'... So it won't look out of place when the 'iPad' is being use together with it... Although the keyboard is quite small, it is surprisingly easy to use and I seldom hit the wrong key... Definitely better when compare to the virtual keyboard on the 'iPad'!!!

OK that's about it I guess... Just a short review on the 'Zagg' keyboard and this item is highly recommended by me if you type a lot using your 'iPad'... If not, you can basically forget about it... Two thumbs up from me!!!

Recently I got bored of the 'HKS' air filter and wanted something BIG as I find the 'HKS' filter is way too small for the 'Toyota 1JZ' engine... So I went out sourcing for the biggest air filter that I can fit into the engine bay of 'FrankenBenz'... And I'm in luck as I managed to find one and it comes with a pretty good price!!! Introducing the 'AEM Dryflow' air filter... 

Made in 'USA' yo!!!

Just look at the size!!! 

Size comparison between the 'AEM' and 'HKS'... Huge difference!!!

 'HKS' air filter with original plastic intake pipe... 

 'AEM' with custom aluminium intake pipe...

Ta-dah... Now the engine bay look so much nicer and not forgetting better intake due to the size of the filter... There's definitely some different as I find 'FrankenBenz' pulls a tad harder when using the 'AEM'... Now who wants my original 'HKS' air filter??? 

To be continue...

Choosing the right milk bottle for 'Mikayla' is something rather difficult... It might look extremely easy but in fact, it is not... I'm those person who prefer form over function and I like to be as unique as possible... I tend to stay away from norm and the first bottle that caught my eyes is definitely by 'Tommee Tippee'!!! 

Just look at the design and I'm sure you'll agree with what I've just said... It look so different from those conventional looking milk bottle!!! I know there are more unique looking bottles in the market but those are not as well known as these three BIG brands... So before my darling conceive, I told myself that these will be the bottles that 'Mikayla' will be drinking from...

But sadly, this bottle doesn't perform as good as it looks... After using this bottle, 'Mikayla's' mouth and neck is full of milk!!! Milk just leak from her mouth... Although the nicer but the performance is definitely the worse among these bottles that I've gather today!!! 

Second bottle that we tried is from 'MAM'... I love the design especially the ivory white one... The ivory white bottle used to be sold only in 'Walmart' but now it is available in 'Malaysia' as well... One of my darling's friend help us to buy the ivory white bottles from the 'States' and the moment we got it, we were really excited as it looks wonderful!!! Really pretty and I like the material they used for the bottles... The plastic is much harder and more resistant to scratch... 

I really like the design of the teat as it is flat and 'Mikayla' is able to suck it right from the moment she's born... She tend to reject those normal round teat as her mouth is really small and she don't like to open it BIG... So it was much easier for use to put 'MAM' teat into her mouth... But sadly we need to abandon these amazing bottle as well... The reason is pretty simple... It was really troublesome to use and it just leak from the top and also the bottom as the bottom is removable as well!!! When it comes to washing, this bottle is the most tedious as there are a lot of parts for you to dismantle and wash... When it comes to assemble, you must screw it right and I always do it right but the damn bottle just keeps leaking!!! In the end, I decided to give up on it as the leaking part is really driving me up the wall!!!

The most famous brand but the one that I rejected the earliest... The reason is simple... Too many people using it and it look so boring!!! Besides that, 'Mikayla' rejected these bottles as the teat is way too BIG for her small mouth... When we gave up on 'MAM', we decided to give 'Mikayla' another try on the 'Avent' bottle and surprisingly, she seems to accept it when she gets bigger... So we decided to stick with 'Avent' as it is the best in overall performance... The only thing that I need to get pass is the look!!! But fear not as 'Avent' introduces a new design!!!

The moment I saw this design, I was really ecstatic as it looks awesome... When scouting for this new bottle but it was not available in 'Malaysia' yet... So I turn to my best friend which is the 'Internet' by the way and order a set for 'Mikayla' to try... After using it for two weeks, I'm really happy with the performance of it... In fact, I'm ordering a few more together with some new teats!!! This new 'Avent' bottle is highly recommended by me and if you're looking for a new bottle for your baby, look no further!!!
