Top 10 Food Posts 2013

Henry Tan | 6:55 PM | | 9 Comments so far
As 2013 is coming to the end, I would like to do a review back.
2013 is another busy year with more reviews on food, events and etc etc.
So I decided to come out with this Top 10 Food Posts judging from the view counts.
I'm truthfully grateful for all the opportunities given.
And of course, glad to meet all the new friends thru blogging.

Let's cut it short.

So here's the Top 10 Food Posts 2013!

No.1 Charcoal Burger @ New York Pizza, Penang
They are probably the first one to come out with charcoal burger in Penang.
As usual, new thing will always attracts people first.
Their scrumptious charcoal burger with self-made patty definitely deserve to be No.1! 


No.2 Pit Stop Cafe @ Lorong Chulia, Penang
One of the newly open cafe in the town of Penang.
They served very common but yummy Malaysian Chinese food.
If you miss your mum's cooking, you could get some satisfaction over there!


No.3 Spade's Burger @ Pekaka Square, Penang
Another charcoal burger in Penang, they are blooming after one and another.
But what amazed me is actually the "Shroomception" which is a mushroom burger!
Shiitake, Enoki and Portobello mushrooms! Brilliant! Shroomlicious!


No.4 Fine Dining @ Eighty Eight Restaurant, Jalan Kelawai Penang
Tempted to bring your taste bud to a higher whole new level? Try their fine dining!
The young chef very particular on every small things that made up the good food!


No.5 Eighty Tree Cafe @ Lebuh Cintra, Penang
Those who have a sweet tooth should, definitely, visit here.
Their candy floss toast is one of the yummy-iest dessert to try out! =D


No.6 32 @ The Mansion, Penang
Perfect place for a celebration or a romantic occasion for the loved one!
The creative chef from Netherland make good use of the ingredients!
Only one word to describe his food - Spectacular!
*sounds exaggerated? Go try it you will know! =D*


No.7 Carvery Night @ E&O Hotel Penang
I bet most of you would agree that E&O serves one of the best and affordable buffet dinner in town.
For the carvery night buffet, the chef actually prepare the whole roasted lamb outside.
Aroma of the roasted lamb makes you drools...
and need not to say the freshly sliced meat is perfect!


No.8 Coffee Journey @ Island Plaza, Penang
A good place to kick start your day with a good cup of coffee and a slice of cake.
Right food + right place + right time + right people = right mood! =D
With place like that, you know you will have a good day! 


No.9 Chef Petr's Catch @ Sarkies, E&O Hotel Penang
I'm a massive seafood lover! If you are the same as me, you will love this!
They provide some of the imported seafood such as Alaskan Snow Crab, River Cray Fish and etc etc.
All I can say is that their seafood are finger licking good! =D


No.10 Gala House @ Jalan Muntri, Penang
Another new cafe in Penang which is strategically located at Jalan Muntri.
Love their relaxing environment and their food!
Especially the unique Gala's Signature - Kimchi Salmon Spaghetti!


That's basically all the posts with top view counts for 2013!
How many you have tried and how do you think about it?

Do let me know you feedback too! =D

Anyway, finally....

Trois Canon Cafe @ Lebuh Chulia, Penang

Henry Tan | 4:39 PM | | Be the first to comment!
As usual, another cafe in Penang but this is not the new one though.
I went to town to apply for Penang Tourist Guide Association (PTGA) membership.
PTGA located at Cannon Street which is few doors away from Khoo Kongsi.
That's the place that always full of tourists!

Those red lanterns for CNY or just filming purpose?

I have to park my car at Lorong Sock Chuan!

That's how I saw Trois Canon Cafe (三炮台)!
I thought it should be "Cannon"?

Penang Local Products @ Tean Ean, Penang

Henry Tan | 12:07 PM | | 8 Comments so far
Looking for Penang Local Products to bring back during your trip in Penang?
Tean Ean Local Products is your choice!
It is like a One-Stop shop selling all types of local products!
They offer more than 300 local products currently!
That's insane right!

I'm sure this brand is familiar to the Penangites too.
Mainly due to the strategic location!

Located right opposite of Northam hotel or GMC.
Coming out from Gurney Drive will pass by too!

If the car park is full, you can opt to park at opposite, outside GMC/Northam tower.

HTC One X vs Ninetology U9 Z1+

Henry Tan | 11:37 PM | 5 Comments so far
Anyone heard of Ninetology?
Well many around me actually doesn't know!

But is okay, you should totally read on!

Don't worry! This will not be those very technical review/comparison. ;)

I was given Ninetology Z1+!
Z1+ is consider as one of the new batch of higher end product!

Quite a big box that contained the phone, charger, headset and adapter.

What attracted me the most is actually the S-Kross Adapter.
Really wow to see they actually include this Travel Charger!
Just simply a push button you can changed it to different country adapter pins.

Okay so let's get started!

Comparison none other than my baobei - HTC One X!

Well, first self-test would definitely be using Antutu Benchmark test!

Surprisingly! Z1+ is leading so much ahead!

See my baobei HTC One X can't even catch up!
Not even close!

However...

The winner from the self test still my baobei HTC One X! =D 

Benchmark with other brands in the market...
Wow Z1+ still better than Samsung Galaxy S2!

Okay probably all the self test result and numbers don't mean anything to you!
I certainly agree to that, like who cares?
(maybe I care only when comparing with friend's phone >.<) 

So let's see the result visually! =D
p/s: all the photos taken by Z1+, unedited but only resized!

The new comer in my lab - Andy! 

Then my colleague Syafiq testing out the front camera!
5MP front camera really good!

13MP for the main camera!!
Not too bad too right? =D

Some of the closed up shot.
A bit hard to focus if is too near.
I guess most of the phone is like that.

I like this one! I like the way it blur the background nicely! =D

The photo processing quality quite good with high contrast!

It's exactly the same as how I look out my wind screen!

I like the fast response where I can quickly snap the red car behind me! =D
Because red car reminds me of her. =(
Well, that's the importance of a good camera, 
can quickly snap down the once-in-a-lifetime-moment!

Cons
To be honest, I think the major problem is their branding. =(
People might think twice if they were to buy unfamiliar brand.
Well, perhaps they need to be in the market for longer time.
Just like how Samsung and Apple replaced Nokia and Motorola.
And of course there are still so much space for improvements.
For example, I can't find any screenshot quick key! =(

Pros
Price! RM1299 only!
Half the price of almost similar specs phone out there!
To be honest, I think the phones nowadays are too much overpriced!
Mainly due to their branding and marketing strategy!
One branded phone could easily costs my whole month salary!
Some of those people who bought it, can they really afford it?
*that's how credit crisis started!*

Click this to find out more! =D

Conclusion
If Ninetology can continue to improves their products...
And be patient for another few years... Time will tells...
(people tend to suspect if the phone could last long or not)
Afterall... there is still market for Malaysian that prefer "Good but Cheaper".

So their next tagline would be....

"Why pay more when you can have the best?" =D

Subscribe to their newsletter to get latest update! =D
Till then. ;)
