Everyday Questions 7 - 'Potted Food'

Recently at a friend's wedding in Teluk Intan.

Usually at weddings, you get like 10 dishes or western style dining ala almost fine dine in masses. This is my first time being served what is called a 'poon choi''. Or in direct translation to my knowledge its 'pot vege'' or ''potted food''. Every time I try to remember its name I have to think of flower pot.

There is Duck, Chicken, Prawns, Scallops, Broccoli, Chinese Cabbage, Sea Cucumber, prolly other stuff I never touched and all cooked separately and stuffed into this pot of soup.

At first I thought it looked kinda wrong chucking everything together was just a lazy way, but apparently it was a celebration dish and you only get to eat it at celebratory events.

It was good stuff and the soup was just tasty ass...but I still can't buy the idea of chucking everything into one big pot of soup....can you?

But if anyone knows anywhere in KL where you can just order a similar dish like this let me know, I would like my parents to try it.

Everday Questions 6 - heavy weight

This one is pretty random.

So, my friend said he dropped his phone on the tarmac and accidently stepped on it. Mind you he is 6ft+ tall but not than huge. It has been like that for a long time and left in this condition.

How long do you think you could live with an iphone that is this destroyed? Me? max one week. Poor phone.

Everyday Questions 5 - The spiciest chilli

My mum planted this in our garden. Apparently its the spiciest chilli in the world. According to Sam, the level is about 100x spicier than Chilli padi...

Would you try it or have you tried it?

Everyday Questions 4 Gloves please someone

Every time you buy food from shops, did you ever wonder whether the person handling the food wore gloves? Here is in this pic is in a up-market place which I will not state where and then the focus is on a non-glove wearing kitchen staff stacking those awesome yummy what looks like brownies...

I guess if you think on the bright side...they probably wouldn't hire people who had no sense of hygiene versus those that literally dig their noses or comb their hair with their bare hands and touch your food. (Some even deliberately in front of the customer with no guilt).

So, are you bothered or not?

By the way I am not dissing the place just that I thought ''everyone can see you thru the glass, do it behind walls instead''. This is very common.

Everyday Questions 3

Can you ever get a medical cert for falling sick of traffic jams?

This is Malaysian traffic at its best. It is a way of life to cut to the front from the left from the right, just inch as close as possible and you will eventually get to the front of the line. 

I am sure other countries have worse traffic than this. But I am wondering cause I caught a headache cause of the traffic jam this morning!

Laneige Water personal review

Pretty much done with Kiehls products. Stuff started smelling weird and turning a different colour...

Randomly walked pass the Laneige counter. I was looking for water based moisturisers and eye creams. I hate seeing oil seeds on my face. Bloody annoying. But anyway, this brand is not too expensive and I am comparing it with brands such as Estee Lauder, Kiehls, Vichy and some other stuff you see in shopping malls. This is a Korean brand and apparently is much cheaper if you buy it in Korea...duh!

I am not gonna go on about what's in it and stuff just gonna state how this product reacted to my skin and stuff.

Skin condition pre Laneige:

Dry

Blackhead visible

Inner cheeks reddish 

Pores kinda enlarged

Laneige - Water Sleeping Pack approx RM100

Slap it on your face before you sleep after toner. It leaves that silky smooth feeling on your face alike the Estee Lauder Idealist. Price is 3x more. Works overnight. When I woke up to wash my face, I can still feel that my skin is soft and a bit more hydrated than before and a bit brighter. Washing feels like you are washing a layer of gel from your face. No oil as you can feel when you brush your fingers together it isn't oily.

Used it twice a week and sometimes more. Lasts a long time. Don't really need much at a time unless your face is bigger than you butt. After 1 month, skin feels much softer, blackheads are easier to extract but skin is still a bit reddish inner cheeks. So I guess it only helps hydrate.

Laneige - Water Bank Eye Gel approx RM120

I don't have much to say about this product other than it is water base and does dehydrate the eye area. As long as your eye area is hydrated you won't look like you have saggy rice sacks under your eyes. Good enough for maintenance purpose. Not oily and smells awesome. Refreshing!

Laneige - Water Bank Hydro Gel approx RM150

For an overall face moisturiser during day time. I would say this works awesome. No oily skin. Pores remain the same as they were in the morning. Not sticky. I would say it works better at oil control than Kiehls or Vichy. I would recommend this for people with combo skin. Smells good as well and easy to wash off.

An update in 2013, I am currently in Summer season and since my skin is dry ass from all the flights, strong winds, different temperatures. Throughout my laziness I have been sticking to the Water Sleeping Pack_EX every morning and every night just cause I can't seem to find my Water Bank Hydro Gel.

It works perfectly, my skin is not oily or sticky at all, moisturised without that glucky feeling.
