Tuah Baker – Hot from oven

by

tuah baker

I was walking through Sarawak Plaza half stoned (okay, totally stoned) when I noticed an opening sign for Tuah Baker
with the tantalizingly munchies inducing quote “Good bread is the most
fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh
butter, the greatest of all feasts.”

tuah baker bakery

The sweet aroma of freshly baked bread ala Rotiboy steered my senses
to their booth in the middle of the food court – the smell of the
piping hot baked goods was strong enough to overpower all the other
proprietor’s offerings in the food court. Tuah Baker – Hot from oven is
heavily inspired by Rotiboy’s concept – except instead of the coffee
cream bun, they also have a chocolate cream bun.

tuah baker buns

The buns go for RM 1.60 each and there are no discounts for more
than one purchase, unlike Rotiboy (which I’m comparing this bakery with
due to the remarkable similarity in concept). It was timely on our
behalf that we got there just as the goods came out from the oven, so
we got the only kind of bread one should eat – piping hot, almost
tongue scalding. 😉

tuah baker bag

I got one coffee bun and one chocolate bun and would have got more,
except they’ll have gotten cold by the time I’ve gotten around to the
third one. This is what the coffee bun looks like – the buns all come
in a brown paper bag, except this one doesn’t have any bakery insignia
on it. The buns are finally put into the paper bag and “baked” for a
short period – so the paper bag feels toasty as well. 🙂

tuah baker bun

The buns are warm and crispy – there’s nothing like the remarkable
aroma of baked bread smelling of freshly brewed coffee with a crispy
crust around a wonderfully soft and fluffy bun. One of my friends,
being unfamiliar with Rotiboy products, remarked: “This tastes like
cake!”

Tuah Baker only sells the fresh from the oven coffee and chocolate
buns and it’s best to get them while a fresh batch is out of the oven.

Shine On Georgia Moon

shine on georgia moon corn whiskey

Shine On Georgia Moon Corn Whiskey is a popular
distilled liquor made of corn with roots in moonshine production. Shine
On Georgia Moon does not pretend to be anything except whiskey
distilled from corn and one of its selling points is that it comes in a
unique mason jar with a HUGE opening.

shine on georgia moon bottle

Shine On Georgia Moon is produced by Johnson Distillery Co. in Bardstown, Kentucky and it claims to be “Less than 30 days old”.
This is not a holier-than-thou premium aged whiskey and it’s proud of
that. I like the unpretentious mason jar bottle with the simple, yet
artistic cardboard slap on label. Shine On Georgia Moon is an obvious
reference to the moonshine history of the US.

shine on mason jar

The impression I got from Shine On Georgia Moon brand corn whiskey
is that it’s meant to be chugged, based on the size of the mason jar
opening. It comes courtesy of cooknengr
[cooknengr.com] who kindly sent it all the way from the United States.
Thanks Eddie! It’s always a pleasure to sample the delights that you
generously send my way.

shine on open

Shine On Georgia Moon Corn Whiskey opens up to reveal a completely
translucent liquid – there is no colorization of the corn based liquor
at all. I expected it to taste like moonshine and tentatively took a
drink from the huge jar. The results knocked me off my feet – Shine On
Georgia Moon not only tastes great, it beats most “premium” bourbons
and whiskeys from Kentucky like Jim Beam and Jack Daniels!

shine on open jar

The taste of Shine On Georgia Moon has a strong hint of corn and it
goes down surprisingly well, with not much of a bite to speak of.
There’s a sweet corn like aftertaste to the liquor and for a 40%
alcohol liquor, it’s surprisingly easy to drink neat. I’ll recommend
that to anyone who has their hands on this particular corn whiskey –
drink it neat and savor the taste of this unique corn liquor. It tastes
so good I wish I kept the bottle here so I can have a nip right now.
That’s how good it is…

shine on georgia moon

Shine On, Georgia Moon!

I do not have a problem with alcohol consumption. Just in case you’re wondering.

Calendar cannabis – Marijuana for every day of the year!

by

calendar cannabis

I picked up my regular supply of cannabis last night and it came in
the most interesting wrapper I’ve seen to date (and I’ve seen a lot) –
it’s a page detailing the date from a tear-off Chinese style calendar. It’s simular to one that came in a package I ordered off https://kratomcrazy.com/product/white-vein-borneo/. These are the calendars that come in a thick Yellow Pages type book
(except it’s smaller) and each page gets torn off to reveal the new
day. It creates a lot of waste paper and it’s been falling out of vogue
in recent years but you can still find them around. Learn more about prosper wellness cbd – dailywellnesspro here!

calendar cannabis paper

The cannabis came in a plastic baggie inside the Chinese paper
calendar wrap – it’s been uncompressed from the usual compressed weed
that we get here in Malaysia and it’s supposed to be 10 grams
worth of the stuff, although my contact warned me that it might be a
bit of the light side and offered to reduce the price to RM 90 per 10
grams instead of the usual RM 120 for 10 grams in brick (compressed
cube) form.

calendar cannabis compare

This is a size comparison to give perspective to the dimensions of
the baggie of cannabis, pictured here next to a regular box of
cigarettes. It’s been “uncompressed”, mind, so there’s perceived bulk
at the expense of actual weight. I’ve seen smaller packages that’s been
highly compressed and yet weighs in more that this but I’m getting my
cannabis from another contact now, and I like the guy, so I don’t
really mind (coz he delivers, that’s the key ;)).

Are you trying to find the purest form on cbd oil adviser for the right price?

calendar cannabis macro

Here’s a closer look at the cannabis that’s commonly available in
Malaysia  Then check out køb CBD olie til en god pris.- This is about the same quantity you would need if you were to ask me, how much maeng da to take for pain? I won’t pretend to know what strain this is, but it’s what
we get over here. Granted, we’re not a city in Amsterdam and we don’t
have a large community of hobby horticulturists due to the legalities
involved (horticulturists gets hanged over here) so we don’t have much
in the way of choice.

Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs VS Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs in brine

by

plumrose vs ye olde oak

It’s a face-off of massive proportions, the sausage event of the century – sixthseal.com is proud to bring to you: Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs vs. Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs. It’s an evaluation between the two different brands of canned hot dogs (sausages) in brine. I hate this stuff. :p

plumrose premium giant hotdogs

This is the first contender – Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs
(RM 9.95) a tall and sturdy built cylindrical shaped can containing 6
(six) “Premium Giant Hotdog” (it’s not really that big, to be honest).
😉

plumrose premium giant hotdogs can

Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs has an image of a football player at
the back to emphasize the Americana in the product. It’s made primarily
of turkey (mechanically recovered turkey, that is, which isn’t exactly
people per se, but it’s turkey parts) and comes with a serving
suggestion of a conventional hot dog (in a bun).

ye olde oak hotdogs

The second contender is the Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs
(RM 7.80) a conventional can also holding 6 (six) “American Style Hot
Dogs” in the can. These are the common size hot dogs you see in the
freezers of supermarkets in both length and girth.

ye olde oak can

Now, the thing about Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs is that it actually has a mascot to go with it. No shit. It’s called Captain Hot Dog
and it’s a sausage dressed in Lincoln-era colors that’s partially
naked. There’s just something very wrong about this, but I can’t put my
finger on it (no pun intended).

captain hot dog

It is apparently UK’s favorite hot dog. Hmm…

Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs

ye olde oak hotdogs can open

The can is an EZ-open container with a snap off lid, that’s a major
thumbs up for Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs. I don’t want to use
a can opener unless I have to. The brine looks mighty oily though and
it’s like liquid fat, that’s how vicious the brine solution is…

Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs

plumrose premium giant hotdogs can open

The Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs requires a can opener to open up
the container. The brine looks more appetizing in this one – there’s no
large “oil slicks” or sudden bobs of fatty material – this one is
brine, and just brine, thank you very much. However, there are two
disturbing patches of brown colored froth at the sides of the can…

Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs vs. Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs

plumrose vs ye olde oak compare

Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs wins in both girth and length but is size really the deciding factor? We’ll see…

The Taste Test

Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs

ye olde oak hotdogs single

The Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs looks like what the normal
sized sausages looks like. There are wrinkly textures to the side of
the sausage, much like the ones out of the freezer. Bonus points for
getting the look right.

ye olde oak hotdogs bite

It tastes like what “real” sausages should taste like – the skin and
filling is firm and biting into the hot dog doesn’t cause any bursts in
brine (an all too common occurrence with sausages in brine) and it
actually tastes like a sausage. It’s good.

Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs

plumrose premium giant hotdogs single

The Plumrose Premium Giant Hotdogs looks like oversized sausages or
gourmet sausages (except we can’t really call sausages in brine gourmet
sausages, can we?). It has a slightly pink exterior and it looks like
its prime. It does look a little limp, but other than that, everything
is peachy.

plumrose premium giant hotdogs bite

This hotdog has one major flaw – the skin instantly slides off and
practically disintegrates when bitten into and the filling comes
pouring out in your mouth like an obscene…er, ejaculation. I did not
like that feeling. No, not at all…

“Who let the dogs out?”

hotdogs german shepherds

Captain Hot Dog, I’ll like you to meet the German Shepherds.

poor hotdog

I’m afraid they like you. I’m afraid they like you a lot…

Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs wins.

I realized with much regret that I’ve just taught the dogs to go after a weenie, er…I mean, wiener.

Note to self: Start wearing jockstraps.

Pizza Hut Mystical Moroccan Pizza

by

mystical moroccan pizza door

Pizza Hut came out with another new pizza in commemoration of the Muslim celebration with the Mystical Moroccan Pizza. The Mystical Moroccan Pizza is a unique square pizza (instead of the usual round ones) that comes with the tagline – Discover the Exotic Flavors of Morocco.

The Mystical Moroccan Pizza comes with a similarly themed Pizza Hut
“spinner” game which is now standard with all new promotional pizzas.
The spinner games give the patrons who order the promotional pizza
incentives in the form of free food and drink, depending on the luck of
the spin.

mystical spin

This one is called The Mystical Spin and plays on the
square shape of the pizza. The two spinners are called the “Destination
Spinner” and “Number Spinner” and the first one directs the player into
one of the four quadrants which depicts holy sites in the Islam faith.
The prime prize is always another promotional pizza. I got the
Breadstix and asked to change that to a Pepsi instead (coz I was
thirsty).

puff pastry soup

There is also an option to upgrade the Soup of the Day to Puff Pastry Soup
for RM 1 which I highly recommend. The Puff Pastry Soup is actually
baked in the kitchen and not from the (admittedly) slightly disgusting
container where the communal Soup of the Day is located. It comes with
a pastry top and the entire soup container is piping hot!

puff pastry soup tomato

The Puff Pastry Soup comes with an option of tomato soup or mushroom
soup and it’s made to order, with the pastry baked WITH the soup and
that makes all the difference. The soup comes out scalding hot and the
puff pastry on top works very well when dunked into the soup and let to
soak for a bit. Tabasco sauce goes very well with the soup that Pizza
Hut serves (Campbell).

mystical moroccan pizza square

This is the Mystical Moroccan Pizza – it’s a square (!) pizza that
comes with the pitch “The new Mystical Moroccan Pizza is a culinary
adventure! Enjoy golden slices of dried apricots, roasted onions,
olives, and chicken or beef marinated with exotic herbs. All topped on
a spread of savory and sweet Moroccan sauce. Get a taste of Morocco
with every bite!”

mystical moroccan pizza closer

The advertising hyperbole aside, the Mystical Moroccan Pizza really
does taste good. The Pizza Hut attendant came over and asked us to do a
customer survey for the Puff Pastry Soup and the Mystical Moroccan
Pizza and I told her that they’re both good, and that all we needed was
a shisha for an authentic experience. 😉

mystical moroccan pizza slice

Here’s a closer look at the Mystical Moroccan Pizza – it has beef
pieces and olives as well as dried apricots and I like the square shape
of the pizza, which allows for even slices of pizza that’s easy to
hold. It’s a great pizza, much better than the usual promotional Pizza
Hut fare. I told Ericka that all I needed was some hashish and I’ll
think I’m in Morocco, that’s how good the pizza is…

Kellogg’s Disney Mickey’s Magix cereal

by

kelloggs magix disney

I was trawling through the aisles of our local supermarket today
when I noticed this brightly packaged cereal to commemorate the opening
of the Hong Kong Disneyland through a licensing deal with Disney. I’m
not a big cereal eater (though I’m a big fan of cereal, if that makes
sense) and the particular words that caught my eye is the “WOW! The milk turns PINK!” bit.

kelloggs magix license

Intrigued (well, not intrigued per se, but something like that), I purchased the RM 7.90 box of Kellogg’s Disney Mickey’s Magix cereal which is a toasted oat cereal with marshmallows. It’s made in South Korea.

kelloggs magix pink

WOW! The milk turns Pink!
Sorry, I just wanted to say it again. :p

kelloggs magix cereal

Anyway, the cereal comes with marshmallow bits of different colors
and the vaguely star shaped cereal is an oat based grain with specks of
raspberry coloring, which is what gives it the Wow-the-milk-turns-pink
property.

kelloggs magix milk

I added some milk to the cereal and it actually tastes pretty good.
There’s just enough marshmallows bobbing around, they certainly don’t
skimp on the marshmallows. The cereal may be made from an oat based
grain but I love oat bran anyway, and they manage to hide the high
fiber but less appealing taste of oat well.

kelloggs magix omg pink

…and wow, it really does turn the milk pink.

Amazing…

KFC Bandito Pockett Pineapple Salsa Sauce

by

kfc bandito pockett

KFC just came out with a new Mexican themed wrap called the Bandito Pockett with Pineapple Salsa Sauce.
It features a lot of cultural themed advertisements that Hispanics
would probably find offensive due to the heavily stereotyped
distillation of their culture. It’s a good thing we don’t have a large
Hispanic population over here. 😉

bandito flex

The KFC Bandito Pockett Pineapple Salsa Sauce is unusual in the
promotional arena due to the emphasis on action oriented lifestyle
concepts that is so predominant in this ad campaign. There is a
distinctively “macho” feel to the promotional material which comes with
taglines like “Flex your muscles to the people inside”.

bandito jump

The taglines range from vaguely interesting and chuckle inducing to
the overboard trying-too-hard-to-be-funny promotional cardboard place
cards. There are Bandito Pockett promotional banners lining the top of
the KFC franchise with the phrase “Jump and touch this”,
which toes the line between cheesy humor and plain unfunny but the one
that takes the cake is the promo liner holding the ketchup – it goes “Start an arm wrestling match with the person sitting opposite you”.

It’s truly cringe inducing…

bandito front

Anyway, back to the food, here’s a look at the KFC Bandito Pockett
Pineapple Salsa Sauce packaging – it has a cardboard wrap that requires
opening, a design surprisingly similar to the McDonald’s Grilled Chicken Foldover [sixthseal.com].

bandito back

The back of the cardboard wrap has details with illustrations on “How to enjoy your Bandito Pockett”
and it evokes a feeling of deja vu due to the remarkable resemblance to
the illustrations of the cardboard wrap on the McDonald’s Chicken
Foldover (comes with the shit eating grin as well). It was probably
subbed to the same manufacturer.

bandito pockett

This is what the KFC Bandito Pockett Pineapple Salsa wrap looks like
– there’s a piece of Hot and Spicy chicken in there, mayo, lettuce and
salsa. The tray liner describes the ingredients more eloquently than I
am capable of:

How the Mexicans Eat Right & Stay Fit with the KFC Bandito Pockett

Lettuce
Rich in Vitamin A
Improves eyesight so we avoid running into cactuses (shouldn’t it be cacti?)

Mayonnaise
Rich in Vitamin E
Good for the heart, especially when you’re playing ‘avoid-the-rattlesnakes’ in the desert.

Cardboard wrapper
Made of high quality paper
High in Fiber.
(Warning: Not for eating)

Hot & Spicy 100% real chicken fillet
Rich in protein and bird flu carrier
Builds muscles for climbing over tall fences (and takes it all away again when avian flu sets in).

Pineapple salsa sauce with real pineapples
Lots of Vitamin C
Prevents colds in case some donkey sneezes on us.

Tortilla flatbread
Low in fat
So we can jump on our horses without breaking their backs.

I made up that bird flu bit btw; no one in their right mind would want to highlight that in KFC. 😉

bandito bite

The KFC Bandito Pockett Pineapple Salsa Sauce is actually pretty
good – it’s lighter than the McDonald’s Chicken Foldover and the choice
of using a Hot & Spicy chicken fillet makes it taste really good.

bandito pockett wrap

Hmm…I’m seriously thinking about having another one despite the fact that I just ate there this afternoon.

Now, that’s fast food for ya…

Sex on the Luconia

by

luconia cafe

I went to Luconia Cafe last night to meet up with
Valerine to get my tickets to go back to Sibu tonight. Luconia Cafe is
a local watering hole near my place (shit, I probably shouldn’t be
revealing so many details :p) and it’s a great place to have a couple
of drinks.

luconia entrance

Luconia Cafe only serves alcoholic beverages (although they do have
some non-alcoholic drinks as well) and the food is subbed to the next
door cafe – Thyme’s, which I’ve reviewed in a previous post on
sixthseal.com.

luconia interior

The interior of Luconia Cafe mainly consists of leather chill out
chairs with pull over seats and I went there at about 8 pm last night. Irene [blogspot.com] called me up and asked where I was and she came over with Tiffany [blogspot.com]. Valerine and her friends Ivy (also from Sibu!) and Monica also came in soon after that.

sex on the luconia

I had Sex on the Luconia (RM 18) a cocktail derived
from Sex on the Beach with a strong hint of Malibu (the coconut
liquor). I met Daphne with her friends there too and I tried to
maintain a normal conversation with her, but apparently failed due to
my lack of sobriety. She was there with her co-workers from 1st Silicon. Check at Cirillas gummy teeth covers.

luconia group

This is a group shot of us at Luconia – Irene & Co. didn’t know
Valerine & Co. but introductions were made and topics of discussion
ranged from tattoos and clubbing. I also realized with much abashment
that all the while I’ve been calling Valerine “Valerie” and I was
corrected several times for calling MC3 “em-cee-three” instead of
“em-cee-cubed”. :p

luconia valerine tattoo

This is Valeri(n)e’s tattoo – it has a great intense eye motif and she’s going to add angel’s wings to it.

luconia irene tattoo

This is Irene’s tattoos – I love the “fallen angel” theme on her left shoulder.

Valerine and her friends left for MC3 (em-cee-CUBED) at around 10 pm
and since I didn’t plan to go clubbing, I decided to stay and Irene
introduced me to her friends from Inti:

luconia cigarette

It’s just a cigarette, btw. Honest.

We went back to Luconia after sharing the cigarette in the corridor
beside the place (coz Luconia is…er, strictly non-smoking) and
ordered another round of drinks and had some classic *cough* inspired conversations. It was surreal.

It was fun. 🙂

bla bla bla … restaurant review

by

bla bla bla restaurant

bla bla bla… restaurant is a relatively new
eating establishment that opened up in Kuching. It has a purplish pink
neon sign with a speech bubble around the restaurant’s name. It looks
like a small place but it’s actually 180 meters inside!

bla bla bla bridge

The interesting bit about bla bla bla restaurant is that there is a
water walkway/bridge with “stepping stones” which you have to pass
through in order to enter the restaurant. It kinda screens the patrons
a bit, coz you have to be at least reasonably sober to navigate
through, ya know. 😉

bla bla bla water

The square block bridge is also where the eating establishment
branches into the upstairs dining area or the al fresco seating areas
to the back. There are goldfish swimming around in the flowing water if
you look close enough.

bla bla bla produce

Bla bla bla restaurant has a great ambience with the water features
and other well placed decors like this great platter of fresh produce…

bla bla bla futon

There is a futon mound where you can relax and have a couple of
drinks coz you can get rather thirsty after saying the restaurant’s
name a couple of times. 😉

bla bla bla green walk

There is a second water walkway with lush greenery that leads to the
end of the long 180 meter dining area. The place feels like a lush
tropical paradise with the generous plant life placed around the area.

bla bla bla roof

There are chandeliers and (another) interesting thing about bla bla bla restaurant is the retractable roof on top.

bla bla bla long

The narrow aisle is nicely arranged with tables for groups on one
side and tables for couples of the other side so there’s room to move
in the middle. The interior design is amazing.

bla bla bla margarita

I had a couple of margaritas (RM 18) which came with the signature pandan leaf that this place serves with most drinks.

bla bla bla mussels

This is the spicy mussels (RM 20). It came in a huge platter and it tastes great!

bla bla bla ostrich

This is the ostrich roll (RM 22) which comes with a morsel of battered ostrich meat on a flat roll.

bla bla bla lamb

This is the lamb shank (RM 23) which came with a cutting knife and serving fork. It’s tender and delicious.

bla bla bla prawns

This is the cashew nut prawn (RM 28), a decadent serving of HUGE prawns (it’s gigantic, actually) with mayo. This is easily the best part of the meal.

bla bla bla group

L-R: John [blogspot.com], Huai Bin (me), Ericka, Sebastian, Kenny [kennysia.com].

bla bla bla … restaurant is a great place to have dinner. It opens till late and the ambience and food is great.

…and admit it, you love the name too. 😉

MC3 club @ Travillion, Kuching

by

mc3 zen

MC3 is the latest club that opened up in Kuching in the new Travillion mall at Padungan. It’s located above Zen
and it seems to be the most popular place to go clubbing in Kuching. I
went to MC3 three nights in a row (it’s named MC 3, after all). 😉

mc3 club

The place has a nice decor and a great sound system (love the bass)
with more lasers and other light displays than you can shake a stick
at. The place had a great turnout on Friday night and it was absolutely
packed on Saturday night.

mc3 sunday

The Halloween Party last night (Sunday night) was mostly comprised
of regulars coz it’s a Sunday night after all. I can’t believe I went
there three nights in a row, I was actually pretty fucked by the second
night (due to the comedown) but I went again the next night and last
night. Jesus…

mc3 dance floor

MC3 club plays a variety of dance music but I love the hard trance
they were putting on for the Halloween Party last night. The bass was
so strong; I could feel the air inside balloons reverberating to the
beat, which I found to be highly entertaining and novel for some reason.

I just did a cerebral systems diagnostics and it told me that I will
not be able to continue writing in a lucid manner, so here’s the long
weekend at MC3 club, Kuching in photos:

mc3 ericka me

Ericka and me (she brought me to MC3 three nights in a row, that’s how hardcore she is).

mc3 depth charges

This is me and Lucas doing several depth charges with beer and a
shot of Chivas in a row on a Friday night (I work Saturdays) while May
Kee looks on. I know you threw up first Lucas. 😉

mc3 sebastian ericka

This is Sebastian and Ericka on Saturday night. Sebastian is a model – bit of trivia here.

mc3 john me

Here’s a photo of me molesting John [blogspot.com], my favorite Scorpio guy, on Saturday night.

mc3 valerie me

This is Valerie, which I’m sure you’re all acquainted with in one of
the previous posts on sixthseal.com – I bumped into her there on Friday
night and again on Sunday night (that’s last night).

mc3 halloween

Happy Halloween!

MC3 is a great place for clubbing in Kuching – it’s not as
pretentious as some other clubs and there’s a chill out place
downstairs – Zen, which is operated by the same management.
