Stolichnaya vodka chocolates

by

kch liquor chocs

I found a wide range of liquor based chocolates in the confectionary
shop at the airport while waiting for my flight just now. I’ve had them
before, but never did get a chance to review them.

stolichnaya choc

I decided to get one for a snack – the Stolichnaya vodka chocolate. These aren’t liquor flavoured chocolates – these are the nice ones with REAL liquor syrup inside.

stoli choc swiss

The vodka is imported from Russia, obviously. Stoli is Russian vodka. The chocolate is Swiss chocolate though.

I estimate that each block has the alcohol equivalent of 1/4 of a
vodka shot, so that makes two shot glasses worth of Stolichnaya vodka
in the chocolates. It certainly won’t get you anywhere, but it tastes
good.

stoli choc center

The center really is intriguing…filled with vodka syrup, which
will spill if you tip it. It tastes great, nice texture with the burst
of familiar vodka when you bite into the chocolates. Highly
recommended, it’s made with real alcohol, but don’t expect that to get
you anywhere, just go for the great taste.

stoli choc children
Contains alcohol / Not to be given to children!

This has got to be the funniest sign I’ve seen on a package…

The difference between 0825 and 2025

by

08252025

I went to the airport to find out that the travel agent our company
uses made a mistake on my ticket and booked me for the 8:25 am flight
instead of the 8:25 pm flight…but all is good, the night flight was
underbooked and had plenty of seats left, so I paid the RM 18 no show
levy and boarded my designated flight. Jesus Christ, someone in the
travel agency needs a good kick in the ass as this trip is crucial.

Sibu, here we come!

I’m flying to Sibu again tonight with my CTO and CFO on the
company’s account. My return ticket is open, courtesy of my CFO, who
thought I might want to stay back for the weekend after our meeting
there on Friday afternoon and another one on Saturday afternoon. I
think I’ll pass on that though, I’ll just go with them, in and out, and
be back by Saturday night.

Hui Sing Hawker Center

hui sing

Hui Sing Hawker Center in Hui Sing Garden is one of the most popular
hawker centers in Kuching. I used to frequent this place when I was
studying in Inti College last time, and it’s been a long while since I
revisited this nostalgic food center, so I went back with a couple of
friends last night.

hui sing my home

This is My Home Fast Food which serves chap fun or mixed
rice, which is also called economy rice, fast food, amongst other
things. Basically, you get a plate of white rice and you choose from
the variety of dishes available.

This is the very same place which I used to frequent and it has been
in business for a long time. They have a wide variety of choices and
IMHO, it’s the best one in Hui Sing Hawker Center.

hui sing cutlery

The cutlery from this stall is available from a hot water soaker,
pictured above. It contains fairly hot water, so it’s a good idea to
fish out the spoons and forks instead of reaching in with your fingers.

hui sing white lady

Hui Sing Garden also has very novel drinks, the most popular one
being a concoction called “White Lady”. It’s a mixture of lemon,
pineapple, laici, sago pearls and lime, with milk holding the whole
concoction together. It’s divine, and very deserving of it’s moniker.

hui sing cuttle

This is cuttlefish with vegetables, a popular side dish that one of
my friends ordered. This implementation is good – they slather the
cuttlefish and veggies with the sauce and grounded peanuts instead of
putting the sauce on the side.

hui sing cuttle mix

This is what it looks like after it’s been mixed. You have to mix it around to cover everything.

hui sing satay

The satay over at Hui Sing is also pretty good. It comes with the standard cucumbers, raw onion slices and ketupat.

hui sing food

This is what my dish looks like – I had pork leg, sweet and sour pork and stuffed bitter gourd.

Limited Edition Merdeka Day Shell Mineral Water

by

shell min water primer

One does not usually associate “Shell” with “water”, in fact, one
does not usually use the letters in the same sentence if one could
avoid it. It just seems unsavory…and wrong. 😉

However, I noticed that Shell had a Merdeka Day (Independence Day)
limited edition mineral water in a glass bottle when I went out for
dinner with friends and I got a couple of those.

It’s manufactured by Eau Claire Mineral Water and its non-carbonated
mineral water in a 320 ml limited edition specially fabricated glass
bottle to celebrate Malaysia’s 47th Independence Day.

Did I mention it was limited edition? 😉 These things always gets
me, damn I hate marketing folks. No offence to any out there, you just
get me every time. 🙂

yang ling seafood

We went to Yang Ling Sea Food (Stall 32) at Pending.

shell min water eat

I paid my respects to my late grandfathers (both maternal and
paternal), who died of lung cancer, and asked them to protect me from
the same fate. 😉 Kidding, kidding. Though some of my more
superstitious friends blanched when they saw me stick my chopsticks in
my food. Apparently, it’s taboo. 😉
