Pumpkin Seeds
Currently I am addicted to these pumpkin seeds. These are the "green tea" flavoured ones. They have other flavours too, like rose, jasmine or just plain ones. They are not cheap either. A 300g tub of these seeds cost RM15.The seeds are bigger, sweeter and crunchier than the usual other types of seeds and that's why I am so addicted, hehe! Snacking on seeds is healthier, right?! … [Read more...]

Pappa Rich
Pappa RichNo.1 Jalan USJ 10/1DTaipanUEP Subang JayaTel: 03-56367318The mushrooming of kopitiams in the Klang Valley continues... like mushrooms popping up after the rain. Recently, there's the Old Town White Coffee in Kota Kemuning and then there's this Pappa Rich. What a name! Is it owned by a rich pappa? Judging by the crowd there, it's not surprising if that pappa got rich. Or maybe USJ folks just like to throng new joints just like what they say "new toilets laku for 3 days!" (if you … [Read more...]
