Papa Chops

Hi all. 

This is my review about PaPa Chops at Wangsa Melawati, in front of the RHB Bank. 

What I bought:
* Grilled Lamb and Chicken - RM15.90
* Spaghetti Bolognese - i forgot the price but i think it's around RM10.90-12.90

What I get and how it tastes:
* Grilled lamb, Grilled chicken, fries, a slice of tomato, a slice of cucumber, coleslaw and black pepper sauce. Lamb and chicken are really on average taste because it didn't feel juicy (maybe it has kept refrigerated for long?) but at least it doesn't taste bad. Coleslaw was also nice. Sauce is too sweet for me. Fries are good and crispy too. 

* Spaghetti with bolognese sauce, but it felt like it has been stir fried together. A fried egg is served on top of the pasta, as well as tomato and cucumber like the above. Fried bun also comes together with this and it tasted really good. The spaghetti doesn't look convincing but when I tasted it, I was wrong. It's a quite decent spaghetti.

Do I want to come again?
Not in the near time being because it really tasted average.

Make-Up remover

Around 4 years ago, I have tried make up cleanser by St Ives and it was pretty okay, but still dependable on another cleanser to really wipe off the oiliness of the face. It was expensive (around RM20, if I remembered it correctly) so I took a long time to finish the tube. This was the phase when make up remover + cleanser wasn't in the trend.

I used the common Loreal make up remover for 3 years because I rarely used waterproof make up.

Biore, if I'm not mistaken, made a great entry for a cheap cleanser with make up remover somewhere last one and half years. With a little hope that this thing not gonna cause any break out on my skin, I had a small tube of it less than RM10. In my opinion after using it, it kind of hurts my eyes and the cleanser was really dry for my skin. I kept it in my office when I really need to use it.

A good friend of mine suggested me to get a water-based make up remover by Simple. It wasn't that expensive, less than RM20 for a decent bottle. It was really powerful and doesn't hurt my skin. The only fuss that I have is it will not work if you apply it using tissue. Yeap, strange as it sounds, it only works on cotton pad or something soft and thick. Else, you tend to rub rub rub till sore. 

What to do when you forgot that you're wearing a waterproof make up and you need to wipe it off to take an ablution? That was the moment when I started to use Biore Make Up Remover wipes. Less than RM8, I purchased Biore brand somewhere end of last year. It is sure a fast way to remove make up but it wasn't totally gentle to my eyes and my skin. So I didn't finish it, ended up somewhere I couldn't find it anymore.

Again, I sticked to Simple Water-Based Make up Remover in my bag whenever I put on make-ups. 

I have forgotten when, but I did receive a sample of make-up remover wipes somewhere mid year. Free stuff, who doesn't want it, right? Since that moment wasn't my first time of trying wipes for make-up remover, I didn't expect much. 

Guess what, it was totally unexpected. So gentle, so smooth on skin and so powerful. I purchased it (the wipes in purple packaging) a week after the trial as I received a coupon in the free sample pack. Til today, I still use it but sometimes I cut it to smaller pieces because sometimes I need to wipe small areas only. 

I want to purchase it again when I finished it up because it was totally worth the ease. I tested to wipe my face before sleeping, and there's no breakouts in the morning. I'm not sure whether it is only being nice to my skin, but maybe you can try. 

Wong Solo

I am a fan of Ayam Penyet. Even if I am fasting rice, I would get a bit lenient when people offer me to go to Ayam Penyet. One of my favourite restaurant is Wong Solo. 

Before going deeper, Ayam Penyet is fried chicken that is smashed with meat tenderizer (that looks like hammer) or something else that can make it flattened. So the meat will be easier for those who prefers to eat with spoon and fork. It usually serves with few vegetables and bean curds and most important, spicy sambal!

Wong Solo has few branches and I went to Malacca, Bandar Tasik Permaisuri, Ampang, Shah Alam and Bangi. My favourite would be either in Bangi and Bandar Tasik Permaisuri and my least favourite is in Ampang because everything is more expensive and you need to pay RM1.50 for extra sambal.

If you are really lazy to check out the menu (like me), you can order one of 5 sets with price RM10.90 without GST. Ayam bakar, Ayam Penyet, Ayam Goreng (normal fried chicken), Empal Sapi (beef) and Pecel Lele (catfish penyet). All comes with rice (a good quality), fried bean curd, few vegetables, brinjal sambal and a small 250mL mineral water. If you're ordering either ayam penyet or pecel lele, you will be given another sambal. Another thing worth to mention is that you can request either chest or leg. Means, if you order leg, you will get whole drumstick and thigh. The size depends on your luck, they usually use a medium to small one. But either way it's still good!

If you are allergic, please take note that the brinjal sambal has belacan meanwhile the penyet sambal has no belacan. A lof of my friends (including me) would order extra penyet sambal because it's tooooo good to be true. The branches have similar spicy level so I guess all comes from their own chilli farm.

The Shore Malacca

Before puasa this year, I have a week off as I quit my last job and waiting to enter a new one. I took my chance to get to "the tallest building in Malacca", which is The Shore.

It is located near the River Cruise, Ocean and Putra Medical Centre. When I got there, I just want to look around and see what the stores are offering.

Sorry if the pictures are quite blur and unattractive. But I'll explain few things.

To get to this place it was quite confusing for me at first, because I use the entry behind the Putra Medical Centre. You know how Malacca streets are full of one-ways. Just look out for this building, since it's the tallest building in Malacca so you are sure able to see it.

The parking lot is actually shared with Swiss Garden Hotel and Residence building but there will be signs to help you which area are near with hotels and malls. It was free parking during my visit. 

Like I told you earlier, it's near the River Cruise, so that not-so-clear water is the river. That railway track beside the rivers supposed to be for monorail/aerorail but I am not quite sure the current progress since it was built when I was in school and there were a few breakdowns and halts previously. This picture was taken from the car parks. 

This board can be seen in the lifts. It's pretty much sums up of what this mall has to offer. I was actually looking for Sky Deck, but I am not able to see it. 

It was not a big mall, honestly. But it has a lot of branded stores. I'm not sure which kind of visitors they are targeting, but these are definitely not the type of stores you can do some savings. 

And tada! These are the main attractions of the Shore. Oceanarium and Sky Tower. Of course, you need to pay to enter and pay to take pictures. It was night and I was alone, so maybe next time I'll visit again.

I performed my Zuhur prayer here (the surau is at the car park) and I would strongly recommend to bring your own praying clothes or wear proper. The place can fit around 10-12 people prayers, I'd say. 

KFC Zinger Rice Wrap

I am a sucker for fast food. No no, I am a sucker for a lot of food and that includes fast food also.

Last week I tried this new KFC Masak Merah Rice Jumbo Wrap. I googled KFC rice wrap, and it was actually not the first time. KFC Zinger Rice Wrap debuted last March and I think I missed it. That phase of the year, KFC food made me a little dizzy in my head.

Now there's no dizzy, so there's KFC. This Masak Merah Rice Wrap was called jumbo because it is really big. Bigger than AM Twister if you want to compare. The wrap is crunchy, the kind which not going to splatter all the inside, and the masak merah is really spicy and savoury, I would say. Chicken and rice is quite a lot, so no worry that it is not enough for a dinner. I had twice of this in a week and I quite like this item.

How to insert signature to PDF? (Macbook user)

Hey, y'all.

Last June I was applying another job and this new job wants me to sign a PDF. Owning a Macbook Pro, there are a lot of limitations here and there but I am quite glad that the built in Preview application can be a viewer and an editor as well. So there's no need for me to install for another application that enables me to view and edit.

To edit a PDF, open it via Preview. There's a button beside the search bar. When you hover it, it says "Show Edit Toolbar". When you click it, there are few options that you can do.

The coolest thing I discovered is I don't need to scan my signature anymore and insert it as a picture. How?  Grab a pen and a white paper. Write your signature on that paper. Then, click on the Signature button under the Edit Toolbar. Follow the instruction (which is show your written signature above the line via the webcam). They will quickly scan for it and make a transparent signature in black which you can use in your documents. :D

I am not sure about the other application or other OS version (i'm using OS 10.9!), but this helps me a lot. I hope this post helps some of you guys as well. :)
