Treats and Tricks

What are you doing in Halloween night?

I'm going to have dinner with my friend in Queensbay Mall shortly. Waiting for her to turn up... i'm now in Starbucks (my usual hang out place to update my blog :-p ). What is your plan?

Have you been to a crazy halloween party with all those food with disgusting look and description... here you go some common halloween food... yucky and gross!

Warning! do not eat while reading my blog eh! I will not be responsible for any vomiting occurred :-p

Kitty Litter Cake
1 spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
1 large pkg vanilla instant pudding mix
1 pkg vanilla sandwich cookiesGreen food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 new (and definitely unused) kitty litter pan
1 new plastic kitty litter pan liner
1 new Pooper ScooperPrepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans).

Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using 5. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. (Mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want it soggy. Combine gently). Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box. Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top. (This is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.) Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around.

If you have kitten... make sure the kitten stay away from this ... otherwise ... :-p

Vampire Kiss Martini
1 part vodka, chilled
1 part Champagne
1 part Chambord Garnish with wax teeth/candy corn/blood orange slice

Pour vodka in a martini glass, top with Champagne and pour a little of the Chambord over the back of a spoon to make it float.

Someone just drop his/her teeth :-p

Adaptability

It's not the strongest of the species that survive nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to CHANGE

Are you ready to embrace the change?

Good Morning Penang!

I like to stay in downtown Penang and don't mind to travel to Kulim for business. That's the reason why i drove to Penang instead of fly. Although fly is nice but i don't have the flexibility to go around Penang.


Last Monday when i go over to Kulim, i took a couple of picture from the ferry. I usually use ferry to commute over to the mainland and continue the journey to Kulim. The total journey from downtown Penang to Kulim is about 1 hour including the ferry.

New Friend from Chili's G-Hotel

I dropped by Chili's @ G-Hotel last Sunday. Since I'm alone, i just sat by the bar area which i don't want to wait for the table. At the same time, i prefered to sit by the bar as i could meet the bartender and have a chat with him or her. So, as usual i made the decision to sit by the bar on Sunday.

I was greet by this bartender in Chili's. He is very friendly and asking me whether what kind of drinks that i would like to start with. Guess what drink i started with? (Answer: Pres_ _ _ _ _ _ Margarita). And at the same time i ordered my favor " Old timer burger with Chili no cheese".

Then straightaway the bartender preparing my drinks and few minutes later my drink served. As the crowd were quite slow, the bartender was a little free... so i started the conversation with him and introduced myself. The bartender name is Mahen. He has worked in Pangkor Island Resort for 4 years and venture his business in KL. Then he decided to move on to Penang after a friend of him invited him to join Chili's Penang.

He is a very experience bartender and the drink that he made is awesome. To make the story short... i enjoying talking with him and he has made 2 others drinks i.e. Pina colada and long beach.

Pina Colada
3 oz light rum
3 tbsp coconut cream
3 tbsp crushed pineapples
Put all ingredients into an electric blender with 2 cups of crushed ice. Blend at a high speed for a short length of time. Strain into a collins glass and serve with a straw.

Long Beach
1 3/4 oz tequila
1 3/4 oz triple sec
1 3/4 oz rum
1 3/4 oz vodka
1 3/4 oz gin
fill with sweet and sour mix
1 splash cranberry juice

Combine all ingredients and pour over ice in a highball glass. Add the splash of Cranberry juice. Decorate with a slice of lemon and serve.

I left Chili's after my third drinks and called it a day... went back to hotel with some alcohol influence. I was so enjoying meeting this new friends while sipping the drinks that made by him... :-) Will visit Mahen before leaving for KL next week.

Nasi Ayam Periuk Besar ...

My colleague from Kulim brought me to a place for lunch after our meeting in the office yesterday. The restaurant is located in the mid of the palm oil plantation. If you are not a local @ Kulim, you would not know this place. The restaurant is called Nasi Ayam Periuk Besar. This is a very unique and special name as if i do translate into english it means big pot chicken rice.

This restaurant carries few variety of chicken in Malay style. We had three type of chicken with different type of rice too. From the tomoto rice to white rice. Basically, the place is a tropical cozy layout Malay style designed restaurant. I would recommend you to pay a visit to this restaurant if you have the opportunity to drop by Kulim. Visit the website for detail information.
