The best banana leaf meal in Bangsar

We just finished a great banana leaf meal (what you see above is all in my belly now). If you're looking to have a fantastic lunch in Bangsar, just head over to Devi's Corner but sit upstairs. It's a whole different (air-conditioned) experience. And you don't have to wait for a table, unlike Nirwanas.

Cat nap

This cat has "parked" himself nicely in Jolly Green Bangsar.

Going Ikea blue for Earth Day

Since I'm going to need my lights tomorrow, I'm buying 4 pieces of these huge Ikea blue bags. It's on a 2-day offer (only 2.50 per piece) in conjunction with Earth Day.

A smart, consciencious, shopper, no?

Spicy cravings

We're having dinner at My Elephant tonight. Reasonably priced Thai food in Happy Mansion PJ. Verdict after dinner :)

Another one bites the dust!

My friends, Vignesh and Shivani are getting married today. Congrats guys!

The Real Secret of Thoroughly Excellent Companies

Peter Bregman on The Real Secret of Thoroughly Excellent Companies:

Trust is as simple as following through on your commitments. Every sales person knows the way to make a quick sale is to develop quick trust. A good sales person will send you an article with a little note saying it made her think of you. That builds a relationship.

But a great sales person will call you to tell you she saw an article that made her think of you and promise to send it to you. Then she'll send it. That builds trust.

Great sales people create an opportunity to fulfill a commitment -- even when one doesn't naturally exist -- and then fulfill it. Like Issy Sharp's promise to visit Michael in Toronto.

I'm trying to recall

.. the name of this train. What is it?

Food Foundry on Facebook

If your business is not on Facebook, then it's time you started doing something about it.

International Centre of Cake Artistry?

Wow. And I thought a cake was just all about the icing.

Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa in Bangsar

Today we're trying the new Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa restaurant in Bangsar. RM2.95 for a nasi lemak "biasa", decent portion of rice in air conditioned comfort. But it's nothing great - food didn't arrive hot, service was poor, and you have to deal with the double parking horns blaring every now and then. Perhaps it's the teething phase - try again in 3 months if they're still around.

Congratulations, TJ!

My sister got her SPM results today.

10 A1's.

442,936 students sat for the SPM exam in 2008, 347,443 passed (78%), and 10,080 scored 10A's (2%).

Bravo, TJ! Now, for the next hurdle =)

Snake killer

The neighbourhood cat just caught and killed a snake outside my house. It's one of those green tree snakes. Good kitty!

Best nasi lemak in KL?

We're having what TimeOut KL claims to be the best nasi lemak in KL - Village Park in Damansara Uptown. It's packed, and it took us 10mins to get a table. But the food is really good, fresh and piping hot. They must be laughing all the way to the bank :)
