Dr Spell-It-Right is here!

Thanks to spellchecker, I don't have to worry about my spellings anymore..That would minimize mistakes while writing; therefore, grammar is all i need to be aware of. However, I guess some people do not take advantage of it, and make major spelling mistakes all over their documents.
Wanna share what I'd found recently:

1. 'decision' was spelled as 'decition' in the whole document.
2. 'harvest' was spelled as 'harveness' (oh, now it's been underlined in red!)
3. it is supposed to be 'bunch' but that person wrote 'branch' (urmm..can u tell any similarity between both?NOT!)

How would you feel reading a doc with spelling errors??It gives me headache especially when you don't know what's going on and wanna find it out on that doc!if it's grammatical error, I would understand..grammar isn't easy, right?What if people misunderstand the thing that you wanna convey to them?That'd be a disaster.

Soooooooo, people!please,please,PLEASE!!!turn on your spellchecker always, and do check those red underlines on your written document first before distributing it to others!!!do browse through what you type and find the RED UNDERLINES!!and oh, if u're not sure about certain words, GOOGLE them!or simply go to dictionary.com etc to find their meaning and how to use them.how easy is that with internet?u don't have to flip through the thick bulky dictionary like old time!and you don't need any teacher to be by your side to check every word.

p/s: please excuse my emotion..i get easily annoyed with even such petty thing.. 

Tajuddin Hussain and Ais Tingkap

As a continuation from the previous entry, i'll tell about the best (at least for current find) Nasi Kandar's place in town, Tajuddin Hussain. You can't tell it sells the best food from the look of the place, it's like old-school 'warung'. but when you see the crowd, you know how good the food is. Arrived around 1pm; obviously it's lunch time, and the place is so packed with people that we had to wait for a while till there're four empty chairs for us to sit on. Then we ordered out food. Would love to try their briyani;however, it's finished already! what's left only white rice and nasi tomato, so we chose to eat nasi tomato. 3 of us ordered ayam ros and another person ordered kurma kambing. And when our food came.........

Ayam Ros. It's a quarter of a whole chicken.

Full plate nasi tomato.

I was surprised with the portion of the rice. ONE FULL PLATE! since i had nasi lemak and karipaps for breakfast, i thought that i couldn't finish eating the food. My stomach got full after eating half plate. 2 of my friends had given up after half plate, one finished eating, and I almost decided to give up. But then while listening to my friends' stories, i just ate the rice bit by bit till.....

my empty plate!

Yay!Victory!hahaha..yeah, managed to finish up my food!see, the food is so good that even my full stomach couldn't resist..Ayam ros tasted great; however, if you can't stand spicy food, you could opt for kurma instead. I'd tried kurma kambing(lamb kurma), and it tasted good as well since there's no typical smell of lamb(dunno how  to describe). everything was good!It didn't disappoint us who wanted to get briyani in the first place.

Opening hours: 1100-1530 and 1830-2200. Closed on Sunday

I guess I should go there again some time to get the briyani. maybe should be there by 11am to avoid disappointment. :)

Total damage: ayam ros + nasi tomato + limau ais = rm7.80. kurma kambing = rm6.50

 If you are wondering where to find this place, you can google the place's name to get the full address. I only know that it's located on Lebuh Queen and near Lebuh Pasar. Oh ya, there's even a stall that sells some kuih-muih on the intersection of those roads.

kuih-muih stall.

Didn't try any since I was full and couldn't even look at food that time. but my friend bought some samosas and she said that they're yummy that she'd buy again next time.  

Ais Tingkap

Next stop was the Ais Tingkap(Ais Sherbet). At first, i thought that it tasted like normal sirap ros drink. 

Ais tingkap bungkus rm1.70. it's rm1.50 in a cup.

It's called ais tingkap since it was sold through a window earlier during -i don't know when-. It's made with sherbet ice, sirap ros, getah anggur, biji selasih, kelapa muda, and a spray of some herbal ingredient. The taste was sooooooooo refreshing!!!I won't be lying if I tell you that it's the best drink i had in my life!fuhh~kinda sound exaggerating, but i'm not kidding!i love it!and of course, want it more!

If you are wondering where to find this place, it's just beside Chowrasta. You can find Pasembor Chowrasta near the place. I wouldn't bother trying it(still full with Tajuddin Hussain's).

Pasemboq!

 Or, if you're like 'where the heck is Chowrasta?', then find the police station and go to this alley opposite the police station.Still don't know how to find and want to depend on your GPS?look in google map or just google bout it. i'm sure there're many blogger who posted the full address with it's exact coordinate.

i call this 'ceruk' alley

Rainforest Bakery

Suddenly feel like blogging about food hunting missions that my friends and i went around penang. It is a place that's rich with variety of yummy food, so i think i should share some of the experiences trying out in different eateries. Therefore, i'll start with the recent ones, then will try to post up with the old ones.

It started with me craving for bagels with cream cheese after having a dream about grabbing some blueberry bagels but the dream of taking even a bite of it didn't happen. So, I started to google 'bagels penang' and it led me to this website. Since it was a Sunday, Rainforest Bakery should be closed, so I decided to check it out on the next weekend. However, a friend suddenly initiated the idea to go there on Wednesday, so with the last minute plan, we went for a long lunch break that day. Went to Tajuddin Hussain and Ais Tingkap as well. Gonna put those in some other posts.

The bakery is located on Lebuh Chulia. It's just a small place, but well known with their healthy and organic breads. I believe that the owner had travelled around Europe to get hands on experience of bread making. Won't explain any further; you can find more information on the website that i posted previously. Just enjoy the pics below!

My friend bought this carrot cake. She said that it tasted soooo goooood. To those carrot cake lover, you should get this coz it's loaded with shredded carrots n walnuts. And the price is reasonable, cheaper than Secret Recipe's.

Focacia bread, an Italian bread. RM3.90

Raisin Twist, RM3.70.

Scones, a pack of 5 for RM5.50. Love the texture, and tasted good.(Actually, this is my first scones)

Parmesan biscuits. RM1.30 each.

Chewy nut trail, RM3.80. This cookie is loaded with many kinds of nuts and  honey spread.  They gave us some to taste. so delicious that I will definitely get this when I come back.

Garlic butter, RM7.50. They made this.

Hosni, kak Kay, and Eisha being hyped in the bakery.

Last but not least, my poppy seed n sesame bagels(RM1.50 each) with cream cheese(add RM1 for each bagel).

By the way, it is better to call first if you have specific bread that you want to get. We ordered our bagels before coming there, so that we wouldn't be disappointed if the bagels tray is empty(coz it is!). Oh, and you can even find a vegan loaf here for RM3.60(250g).

Overall, everything that we bought from here tasted so good and it's a place that I will definitely go again someday.
