Fake Eggs Sold In Pulau Tikus Are Real Eggs
DNA test has been conducted on the fake eggs and the result came out as ? and yes you got it right, those eggs that were sold in Pulau Tikus, Penang are real genuine eggs not fake eggs that was being reported by a housewife and the Consumers Association of Penang last week. Is it safe to eat/consume the eggs sold at Pulau Tikus ? The answer is a big YES ! More reports here @ http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/4/11/nation/8455932&sec=nation
E
xtra info - Fake eggs are common in China, and they are full of chemicals and sold at lower prices. It would be very hard to tell the difference between fake eggs and genuine ones as both looked almost identical.The only way is to break the egg. The yolk in a real egg can easily be removed as a whole.

Zen @ Sunway Pyramid. A Must Try Japanese Buffet !!
What's the
best and affordable Japanese buffet in KL or Malaysia ? This
question always popped out by food-hunters alike. Have you
tried the ever famous Jogoya @ Starhill or
even Tenji @ Solaris ? If no, then may moi suggest you this place,
Zen @ Sunway Pyramid. Situated
just on top of Kim Gary ,
right opposite of Zanmai. *
warning - yummy-licious images ahead*
I guess this plate of awesomely fresh sashimi cutlets from Zen worth more than RM63 !!
For
RM63 per person, you can eat as much as you want. Mind you,
if you were to eat ala-carte style, the bill could rise as high as RM100 per person judging from the menu's pricing. All
you have to do is order through the waiter, pick the dishes and amount of sets you want. Sit back and relax, and voila !! The food is served in front of you.
Nice cold green tea soba from Zen @ Sunway Pyramid
You can
choose from variety of sashimi and sushi till the never ending list of tempura, bbq skewers, noodles and rice and also not to mention,
DESSERT !! I will
elaborate further later but it has something to with GREEN in color ! *winks*
Started off with appertizers such as your
usual seasoned idako (baby octopus), jellyfish, scallop and mini squids from Zen @ Sunway Pyramid.
Unaqi by Zen @ Sunway Pyramid is the bomb !!
A must try Scallop sushi in 2 versions - boiled and raw !!
End the day with GREEN TEA ICE CREAM that I mentioned earlier. I whacked like 8 cups of it !!
Seriously, if you
had 10 cups of it, you
had already covered the cost as per cup is RM6 on a normal day !! All in all, the
Japanese Buffet lunch at Zen, Sunway Pyramid was
truly satisfying and worth the money. The
ambience was awesome and
truly a place worth recommending !!

Singaporean Couple Got Cheated in JB Durian Feast
I know its the World Cup 2010 month but we definitely need to eat and sometimes crave for our favorite food right ? Last week, a Singaporean couple saw an advertisement for a "durian feast" in Johor Bahru ended up did not get what they were promised when they drove all the way there.
The ad ran in the June 12 edition of The Straits Times was placed by S'Mart whicha wholesale market located about 8km from the Woodlands Checkpoint. Customers would get a free durian sampling before buying, and if they spent at least RM20 on durians would get 1kg of mangosteens or rambutans free was a gimmick.
Special education teacher Fiona Goh, 25, decided to drive there from her home in Jalan Besar last Monday night with her boyfriend Desmond Lim, 32, also a special education teacher.
Instead of the free sampling they were promised, the couple were made to buy the first durians they tried. "The seller opened the durians for us and told us to sit down. After that, he said that since the durians had been opened, we would have to buy them," said Goh.
They paid RM33 for two durians, in return the seller then handed them a quarter of a watermelon, wrapped in clingwrap, instead of the mangosteens and rambutans promised. The watermelon, the couple claimed, turned out to be rotten.
When The Straits Times contacted the wholesale market's marketing manager, Kerlyn Lim, she said it was the first time she had received such negative feedback. The market has been advertising this "durian feast" in The Straits Times for the past three to four years, and response from Singaporeans has been "very good", she said.
She put the problem down to new vendors who have joined the promotion. This year, six durian vendors took part, compared to three last year. "Some of them are new so they don't know the rules and don't follow them."

Zouk Cafe and Bar
Zouk KL - Phuture,Velvet Underground is a fixture in
Klang Valley nightlife as it brings in
big-name DJs, hosts
indie beloveds Twilight Action Girl, and consistently
gets voted as Best Party Venue in
KLue's annual readers' survey. Zouk Cafe and Bar is opening early this year.
When and where?. Guess you have to read further. This preview was
proudly brought to you by KLue.
Now, having
staked out the 10pm - 3am market, the
Singapore club is branching out.
Zouk Café Bar arrives at the
The Gardens @ MidValley, come
early 2010. Marketing head Adam Mathews describes this new venture of theirs as a
marriage between dining and drinking cultures -- an
amalgam of a nice sit-down dinner with a booze-up at the bar.
Here's a sneak preview of some highlights
Lamb Kalbi
The
kalbi we are typically familiar with are either
beef or pork.
Zouk's take on this Korean fixture is lamb:
succulent meat, served on skewers with a sesame-and-honey dip.
What with the focus on minum, a large part of the planned menu consists of skewers and tapas.
The Dungeness Crab Cakes (a
pineapple chutney dip offers a nice contrast) and
Wild Calamari (squid rings fried to perfection) particularly
salivating.
Asian Paella
Zouk's seafood Asian Paella is served in a
clay pot (instead of in the
traditional Catalan pan) with
basmati rice and liberal amounts of turmeric. It's fascinating because of the
uneasy fusion, though, the dish is tad bit dry and lacking in overall "bite".
Fettucine Carbonara
And, of course, there are the
Italian mainstays.
Zouk's Fettucine Carbonara is just right, with (surprisingly)
adequate beef bacon. All in all,
a solid entry. (That's the
crab cakes in the background, if you're wondering.)
Once again,
Zouk is still tweaking their menu as such, there
isn't much use in publishing a full list as yet. Expect prices from the
low to mid-RM10s (for the
tapas and skewers), and entrées to hover around the RM20 to RM30 range
.
Zouk Café Bar is slated for a January 2010 opening date. Watch out!
For those who are unaware of this awesome cafe -
here's a short teaser on what to expect =)
Zouk plans to open Zouk CafeBar, their first venture into the F&B line. Set to open at The Gardens, Mid Valley City, the project is is described by Zouk KL’s Head of Marketing & Communications, Adam Mathews, as a “100% Zouk labour of love”. Everything, from its menu to the interior décor, was created based on feedback, opinions and creative input from Zouk employees, DJs and friends.
The 184-seater establishment has nods to the club, as seen in the LED-feature on its walls and its music, programmed by their resident DJs. But it’s not just about a cool vibe, they’re serious about the food too.
Expect items like chili crab claws, marmite chicken wings, Asian chorizo and Nyonya pate served tapas-style, along with mains like Vietnamese beef noodles and seafood tomyam noodles. And since this is Zouk we’re talking about, expect alcohol and a Reverse Happy Hour, where the drinks get cheaper the later it is!
Check out
www.zoukclub.com.my for updates.
*fyi -
The Zouk Cafe and Bar, The Gardens is now open for business !!*
