The Press Room @ Bangsar Shopping Mall

No Comments

Another new discovery for me as I seldom come to this Bangsar Shopping Mall. First discovery was a dining outlet next to this, WIP is pretty good and worth recommended the now after being invited to Nokia 501 Asha Launch with dinner incuded, I must say the 3 course meal of food quality is quite impressive at The Press Room.

pressroom (1)

Pressroom is an interpretation of a vintage European brasserie. The emphasis is on simple Anglo-French brasserie food made from the finest ingredients.

pressroom (3)

Love the ambiance, as its interior is modern European style.

pressroom (2)

Since there are 2 of us so I order 2 different sets of dinner.

pressroom (4)

pressroom (5)

I have never put any expectation in this dining as usually the food catering is pretty let down and start off with Pumpkin Soup. I must say I am suprise with how good this soup is. Slightly thick and creamy that good enough with well balance of taste. Not too strong or thick with pumpkin and well mixture of little cream that they are using. It was gone within seconds. One of the best pumpkin soup I can come acorross in KL.

pressroom (6)

Casear Salad is pretty decent.

pressroom (7)

Pan Fried Sea Bass with Spiced Chick Peas and Tomato Ragout. Fish is freash and being pan fried to perfection that the skin is slighlty crips with mild salted end along with fish meat is soft. Season spices chick peas pairs well with tomato ragout and fish. I put 3 of the ingredient onto my fish that burst in flavours. Loving it.

pressroom (8)

Grass Fed Rib Eye with Mixed Salad and Black Pepper Sauce

pressroom (9)

For such a place, I never thought that the Rib Eye is awesome. Soft and juicy. Serve medium and top into our list too for steak now.

pressroom (10)

For Carrot Cake, its one of the best I have come across, moist enough, not too dry and the icing is not to sweet. Perfect to eat along with a good coffee

pressroom (11)

Apple Tarte Tartin

pressroom (12)

Latte for the end of the meal.

For a nice dining or catch up with friend, this outlet had fallen into my recommended list also. Price are reasonable. Easily RM 40-RM100 per head depending on what you are ordering.

Why Smartphones can be Dumbphones

No Comments

With the latest technology now, the world seems getting smaller everyday latest edition of smart phone into our society, with much people now owning I-phone or Blackberry seems like a hit, and previously I owe a dumb phone nokia 8900 which the most important to me, which is can call and sms.

pic1

Even though after I had change to BB Curve, till today I still consider it a dumb phone that I never fully utilize it. It is dumb enough that I can use a few functions that can connect to the world.

twitter_logo

That I can use Twitter to stalk all what my friends are doing and what they are gossiping around… at times it is funny that when I got nothing to do, I just connect to my twitter any where any time, where Digi has full coverage in most of the area that I went.

facebook

Second I consider it as a dumb phone as it is just simply easy for me that every time I find something interesting, or went for a food review and would want to share with all my friends, I just on the camera and snap, just seconds away to get connected and blast to all my friends in facebook and twitter.

Grasshopper

Chance to share what I am doing at events with all my friends. . . .

and giant burger that we first encounter in Kota Damansara. . . . .

digi

Besides that only thing that I can do is to make sure can I call out and also sms. This BB curve that I am holding now is tied up with Digi (click here for further info) but the rates are simply the best and cheaper, with their RM68 Digi Smart Plan, had just made me and my friends closer, that I used it daily even when I am in the toilet, in events (which is very boring) stuck in the jam that can read all the funny comments and the best thing is when on Saturday night went to club can check how is the traffic for the night till my friend brand me, a weather and traffic report guy. . . Even got scolded at times for posting saliva dripping food to lure them in middle of no where. . . . Digi Smart Plan had gave me a chance fully explore on my phone but :

Well I find that I am dumb enough with my phone but I am smart enough to choose the right plan~ as I am looking forward to party with Digi. .

The DiGi Break Free party will be held at the time, date and venue below:
Date: 29 May 2010 (Saturday)
Time: 6pm – 10pm

Christmas Present for myself – Blackberry Curve 8900

No Comments
My Christmas Present for this year would be a brand new phone. Seriously, I do not know what phone to get and never thought of changing one as I still like my old Nokia one of the 6 series that used to be Nokia very first 3G phone that can video call. This would be my longest phone that I have used since end of 2004 till now. The phone is as solid as classic Nokia 3310. No matter how you drop it then you put it back still can use. Drop into water put dry it under sunshine still can use. Not like the high tech phone now days. Once drop can consider nearly gone but thanks to UOB credit card promo for offering such a great package with DIGI telco provider.
Then I place my order and 1 week later here comes my new BB 8900 Curve.

The reason I got this is I would say this would be the cheapest rate in the market at the moment with my package of RM68(BB phone) + RM50 call credit (Digi) + RM58 (BB unlimited Data plan) total RM168 per month for 2 years.
