The famous open air big corner lot near BuKit Gasing, Petaling Jaya. Usually packed with The Star reading office workers and family man & woman poised over some white rice & oily hot fried fish &/or chickens.

This is Prince Raju’s standing tall prima donna , all of RM1.20. Surprisingly dry & not so oily !

Over at Section 17 , Petaling Jaya, near the previously Rothman’s Roundabout, standing high up in a shoplot overlooking a massive alfresco garden outside is another army of come from India workers, all ready to serve

The roti ( RM1.10 ) arrives shattered & torn but is quite impressive too , especially since it comes with 4 kinds of spicy hot curry gravies, to taste at your pleasure.

While in Subang USJ 18, the other hotshot Sri Melur is having a roaring business too

Not bad at all its flat bread on a shiny aluminium plate.

Do you have your own top 3 list ?

The magical SamTab will come with Samsung TouchWIZ user interface, Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS support, rear and front facing cameras and is both a smartphone & netbook !  Since it will be Android 2.2 ( froyo ) powered, the Galaxy Tab can have uninhibited access to the web ( with full flash ! ) & various applications from the Android Market with its tons of mostly free apps. With a touted battery life of 7-8 hours of general usage, singlehandedly…it may be just the next big thing to show off to the horde of admiring ladies at the friendly neighborhood pubs !

Finally it is time to show the cocky apple ipad what the others can do, as well if not better !

Apple’s wonder gadget ( all 9.7 inches of  jaw dropping  touchscreen and unbelievable 700gm featherweight ) is flying all over the place !

And now besides its entertainment and commercial uses, iPad is slowly creeping into the space age military.  In the UK at least the innocent looking  iPads are now being used in classrooms to train deadly soldiers. Early reports indicate that this experiment so far has been successful in accelerating their learning, thanks largely to ipad’s  natural interactive experience which is said to make learning so easy, with a sharp decrease in the amount of classroom time required when using the right app for the situation, decreases in costs associated with publishing training materials, and the mobility the iPad offers.

Trainees have described their hands on experience with iPad as more fun instead of sitting in a classroom just looking at a boring presentation. If you’re on a course you can take this back to the block and practice with it, or heck ! engage in some serious de-stressing … err killer apps, when nobody is watching

It will be only a matter of time before people like Dell, Samsung, Asus ( see above ) , Acer & Gang release their Android tablets ( October 2010 ?) to “kill” the ipad but meanwhile, we wanna go ( even to Thailand ) to try to steal one or 2 ipads ourselves, since its not on the shelves of Low Yat Plaza or anywhere else in Kuala Lumpur that we know of, and we can’t wait any longer to caress it .

Finally you can throw away all those irritating tangled mess of wires ! No more losing them/getting stolen in Starbucks or Coffeebean !

The PL90 is a plug-and-play operation that can connect to any computer via USB, and it automatically installs the intelli-studio software for viewing the camera’s data. Charge the camera/view/transfer pictures directly to your computer.

Actually it is a basic point-and-shoot 12mp camera with 4x optical zoom, a 2.7-inch LCD display with side button controls, and use of the Smart Auto feature in both video and still modes.

Samsung’s PL90 will ship for a reasonable price of USD$149.99 this September in US , so we Malaysians have to wait a while to get hold of this piece of wonder device ( some say silly )

There are many stalls here ( selling the same stuff ) , enough to feed & last you for a few more hours before the next stop.

We like the extra spacious and well maintained facilities here and especially the awesome all-in-one “tandas” aka toilets, which is a joy to piss et al.

Nice cute little cubicles/stalls

The excellent and cheap Malaysian all time favorite rice dish

a dire & timely warning
Just remember, do us a favor… ok…

thanks

This Hainanese does it so well . Afterall this was the single thing that made their clan really famous, all the way from Batu Pahat to Malacca to Kuala Lumpur.

The mildly flavored golden rice ( you can eat it on its own ) is also very good. In fact better than many other nasi lemaks in town.

The service is generally quick and fuss free and the price reasonable at around RM8 a plate.

You might want to try it to compare with the super famous Ipoh version, which we find of late a bit bland & rough in many shops there

1. Iphone 4 of today has a serious antenna problem which won’t go away

2. Today’s HTC Evo battery is so horrible, cannot even last 1 day, then cannot be fixed

3. Samsung Galaxy S is fitted only with already out-of-date android 2.1 & only a meager 5mp camera with no flash and cannot take night party shots

Save your money and avoid plenty of splitting headaches and severe pulling of your hair – always be patient and buy the latest & the greatest state-of-the-art cutting-edge gadget not yesterday, not today but…

tomorrow…like this coming ipad 3 above ( awesome ain’t it ? ) and also the to-die-for coming soon, for instance :

…one or more of these dream machines…

1. Iphone 5 , with 4 inch super-retina screen the latest & greatest … coming in October ? ( hopefully ) with absolutely no problems at all !

2. Samsung Galaxy S2 with the sharpest and bestest 8mp camera with superduper xenon flash !

3. Or … our very own favorite the high flying Sprint HTC EVO 4G , tooled for GSM networks, rumored to be renamed as the HTC Ace. The Ace will sport the same 4.3-inch touchscreen as the EVO 4G and will also be an Android handset. Because the device is speculated to carry Android 3.0, otherwise known as Gingerbread, it’s unclear whether HTC will also bundle HTC Sense UI on the Ace. The Ace, being a more modern hardware build than the EVO 4G, will be pushing the envelop with HD recording, which is slated for 1080p instead of the EVO 4G’s 720p HD video captures.

Here are the complete rumored specs for the Ace, according to Android Spin:

•Android 3.0
•4.3 in. display (This display will be a HTC’s own rival to the Super AMOLED display)
•1.5 GHz processor
•8 MP camera and 1.3 MP front facing camera
•Much better battery
•1080p HD recording

It pays to wait , right ? 

This is the story of the left and right cendol stalls in Penang Road.

Surely a case of green envy or issit one of extreme bad romance ( gaga we din ).

Still da Lady did have some fun snapping away.

The “right” One

Red with disappointment. Wasn’t that bad really but then it wasn’t good at all. So what if mad  Phua Chu Kang was here…Thats the trouble…

wrong “right” penang road cendol from wiZSurf on Vimeo.

fantastic crowd ( see video ) , but unflattering taste ( where the santan babe ? )

We have had much better romances with the green thing elsewhere , and everywhere…from Taiping to yes ! …Sitiawan

And why not !

Even if the Q is not straight, it doesn’t matter. Just wait for it to clear and you shall be served.

The shop is not clearly visible to passers by as it goes inside a converted narrow back-alley, revealing an architectural ( if not a gastronomic) masterpiece worthy of a UNESCO Heritage status ( or issit ?)

Line Clear nasi kandar from wiZSurf on Vimeo.

The spread of food here is colorful, hot & spicy and much loved. That is why here along Penang Road ( near backpackers’ haunt Chulia Street )  there is always a long line of patient gluttons lining up outside the road and under the hot sun at peak hours and so one is advised to wait for Line Clear.

Then you can eat !

btw this is only the tip of the iceberg
