Food Panda delivery in KL

I received the weekly BCard newsletter in my email and I saw an advertisment about foodpanda.com. I was too curious because the panda picture was looked cute, so I clicked on the advert. I found out foodpanda.com was a delivery website for food in Kuala Lumpur. It looked like a pretty simple concept.

Firstly, I chose my location.

Then, a list of restaurants that deliver to my house appears.

The information given were like name of restaurant, its address, duration for delivery, delivery charge etc. The one thing that caught my eye was the delivery charge. If I were to order for delivery from Modestos, it would cost me RM6. I think that is reasonable for someone who does not have a car but needs some good food. The downside I see was that, it takes 1hour for delivery which means that the food might be cold and soggy already. McDonalds takes one hour to deliver too and most of the time, the fries were soggy.

Maybe foodpanda's delivery duration was just an estimation. I haven't tried the system and I can't try till half a year later lol. I would try it once if no one else has tried it back home because they do have a good 160+ list of restaurants like Obriens, Kaw Kaw burger,Secret Recipe and others.

Midnight cravings

It is not nice to be browsing facebook at midnight and seeing postings on delicious food that cannot be easily found in Glasgow..... What I saw:

Culinary skills

My cousin made these flowers out of chocolate. She is just 15 years old. So pretty. I guess culinary skills are all in the family genes :)

A sure way to cheer up

New Year Eve 2012

One more day till 2013.
It always feels exciting to be able to live another year.
Everyone is one year older,
Hopefully one year wiser,
One year happier.




I am having one of the best time of my life right now with a bunch of humble pies :)

Today calls for make-up!! I rarely wear them. But, today is a rare occasion.

Happy New Year everyone!

Scones

I made scones today. I had it with the extra cream cheese I had left after baking cheesecake for christmas. The combination of fresh scones with cream cheese was amazingly divine.

I like making things in the kitchen and giving it to a few of my friends to eat too.
Unfortunately, one of my friend has never heard of scones and therefore did not know how to spell it. He posted on facebook a picture of me, mispelt scones and I laughed so hard till I teared. At least he did not think it was called Stones!

Boxing Day in Glasgow

What I did on Boxing Day??

First, I walked to Nando's at St Enoch. I had to wait 45 minutes for a table. Upon being  seated, I waited for 15 minutes for someone to take my orders. Later on, I only realised I had to place my orders at the cashier. I had the Full Platter, which was one whole chicken with large fries and large portion of garlic bread. Three people, one Full Platter of Extra Spicy Peri-Peri Nando's Chicken. We were very very satisfied. Compared to Malaysia's Nando's, Glasgow's Nando's was so much better. The sauce in both countries taste the same, but the chicken in Glasgow was definitely meatier and bigger. I banned Nando's in Malaysia as the meal was always not satisfying due to the disproportional meal size vs the price. We were so full when we finished our lunch at 1pm until we did not need dinner at all.

After lunch, we went to Carphone Warehouse and then Primark. Bought nothing. Then we decided we'd rather be at home. So, we went home.

The end of my Boxing Day  :)

Mayan forecast

Here is a picture I found about the Mayan forecast. So many people are worried that 21st Dec would be disastrous. I was told by a friend to buy extra water to keep, buy batteries and torch light amd stock up on food. People are saying that there will be no sunlight for three whole days, which means it will be freezing cold here. I remember last time when it was too cold in New York i think, the water pipes were frozen amd so some people did not have water supplies. How true is the Mayan? NASA says nothing will happen. Wikipedia says it is just a change of the era where some countries might be affected due to tsunami and earthquakes.

Latest news I read in Yahoo! Says that Malaysia will have medium sized earthquakes in the near future. Those affected would be the places which has felt tremors before. Previously, small earthquakes and tremors were know to cause damage to our country's building structure. Therefore, a medium earthquake might cause major destruction as our buildings are not earthquake safe.

Predictions - u wanna believe it and yet you also dont want to....

Half the world is probably stocking up for safety while the other half go on with their lives not fretting about THE day.

For me, I have chocolates :p

Scottish Highland Cows (Cattle) @ Pollock Country Park

This trip was perfect because the temperature was 7 degree Celcius and it did not rain. After experiencing minus 6 degrees for two days, 7 degrees felt like nothing. We walked so much in the park till halfway through I was walking without my jacket on.

This trip was perfect ALSO because I had the chance to see Highland Cows! First of all, I would like to say that if I did not follow the tour, I would think that I will just be in Pollock Country House visiting the museums and the famous maze. I would not have found the Highland cattle because we needed to walk further up to see it. There were two museums in this park which I did not visit.

The first farmland we walked by had Highland cows but the cows were really far away. The tour guide thought this would be the only chance we would get to see the cows, hence he directed us to trudge through some muddy undeveloped farmland near to where the cows were, in hopes of us getting a closer look at the cows. There were plenty of thin branches with sharp tiny torns. Thank god for jackets and long pants. I could hear the torns scratching (or maybe tearing) my pants as I walked through the path. I think someone once came to this place to poop a I saw a pile of it.

We could go no further as there was a river between us and the farm. We took shots of the cows from where we were. Very tiny shots.

When we were back on the main road of the park, we walked further up and lol behold, we saw another farmland with Highland cows right in front of our face. We spent a good 30 minutes or so just looking and snapping pictures of the cows.

The Highland cows looked so peaceful with no worries in the world. They did not moo at all. They hardly budge from their spot except one which came closer to us. The horns on them makes them look fierce like bulls, but they were really gentle. They have cool hairstyles too :P

Besides the cows, we also saw this huge tree believed to look like that due to a witch curse.

On the way back to the train station, I saw a set of teeth (i an guessing false teeth) in front of the Pollock Park sign board. It was intriguing but disgusting at the same time. Anything other than that, the park was fantastic.

I met some elves and horses wearing Santa hats too.
