Bumbu Bali

I rarely write about food, so here is one of those rare posting. We went to Puchong today because Shirley needed to go to the bank. After that we decided to head over to Bumbu Bali after reading about it on eatinout. Bumbu Bali sell Balinese Fusion food. Beside food, they also sell some home decor. I am not sure whether those decor are truly from Bali or not but they are not cheap.

Anyway, here are the food that we ordered.

Lamb Chop(RM21.50)

The lamb chop is quite tasty. They marinated the lamb with some kind of balinese sauce.

Big Mouth Burger with Cheese(RM18)

Just like those burger they serve in American Chilis or TGIF. The patty just taste too plain. It would be better if they've added some of those sauce used in marinating the lamb chop.

Nasi Express set: Sambal Sotong Petai (RM11.90)

I don't know how this taste but it looks hot to me.

Overall, its not bad and I wouldn't mind going again. However, the place is quite warm because there are no air conditioning. If not for the occasional wind, I will be sweating. The lack of air conditioning is really a big minus. I recommend going during the night as it would be cooler.

Cost of off-shoring

The Cost of Static from The Daily WTF is an example of the hidden cost behind off-shoring. The initial cost to off shore maybe cheap, but you get what you paid for. Most likely its off shored to the X-Men. It seems like management level, no matter from where, are all fools and they never learn. They really dig the X-Men.

Bottle Cap Tripod, hottest item on the net now?

Seems like this is all the rage right now. A bottle cap tripod which will easily turn any bottle into an instant tripod. You can buy one now at a Yahoo! store here for around USD20 and there are 5 different colours to choose from. I think its a pretty useful piece of gadget.

If you think that USD20 is a bit too expensive for something like this, here is an alternative on eBay. Now I like to know which idiot will actually buy something like that!

Update(25/3/2006) : I don't know what to say. Somebody actually bid on the eBay bottle cap tripod. Either that person is an idiot or the seller paid the bidder to pull some cheap publicity for himself. These people really have too much time.... and fun... I have to give them credit for contributing lots of pageload to my blog.

Wild tunnel accidents

Is this for real? Just when you thought that the North South highway is dangerous during the festive seasons. Supposedly from the security camera of a tunnel in Russia known as the Lefortovo Tunnel. This tunnel will sure collapse after just half a year of abuse.

Blogging Pictures

The other day MF was asking is there an easier way to post mulitple pictures from Flickr when blogging, other then using the IMG tag and pointing it to the right URL. Well, it seems there is, if you are using Firefox. I am not sure whether this will work with the other browsers or not. So go get yourself a copy of Firefox now.

Here is what you do. Open two browser windows side by side, one to blogger and the other to Flickr. When you want to add an image to your post, just go to the Flickr window then choose the correct picture and size, and drag and drop the picture to the blogger compose textarea. That's it.
