Food Review @ Vansh, Starhill Gallery

Being a person who loves to eat and never gets fat, I would better be of as a food blogger rather than a lifestyle blogger. I'd literally eat anything which is served on the table, given the fact that it is plated properly and also it must be somewhat edible.

I've never done food reviews before and me being a person to eat everything, would that make me a a good person to do food reviews or is it the opposite?


I was invited to Vansh in Starhill Gallery. Vansh is a restaurant where they served Indian cuisine. It has been awhile since I've last eaten authentic Indian food. The only memory I have of having Indian food was when I was very little. Yes, it was that long!

The closest-somehow-related food to Indian cuisine I'm having now, would be the mamak food I have every now and then.


What makes food taste a little bit better would be the ambiance of the place you are dining in. When you walk into Vansh you can see that it has a beautifully designed exterior 'wall'. Inside, the place is lit up with warm coloured lighthing which I think somehow compliments the food served there. 


Papadums served as snacks

As I took my seat, a glass with four equally rolled crackers was served on the table. A very unique way of serving us Papadum. It came together with 3 different types of dipping sauce, where I like to call it the 'traffic light sauce' which would be chilli, raita and mint.

The crisp cracker has a peppery flavour which makes it slightly spicy if that is what you want to call it. Definitely a change from the regular papadums I've eaten. As for the sauces, it did not make any difference for me as the peppery sensation slightly overpowers the sauce's flavours.  


Manggo Lassi - RM17

I was looking forward to a chilled drink, so when a glass of Manggo Lassi was put on the table, I was like YES! Something refreshing. The cherry even made it looks better; such nice a nice contrast.

Lassi is a yogurt based drink which is blended together with milk and water. This particular one I'm having would have some mango pulp blended together too.

On my first sip, it was already a let down for me as it was not chilled. How can a yogurt-fruit drink not be chilled? Furthermore, I did not taste any mango inside. The drink is a bit too 'foamy' for me.

Just maybe if it was chilled, it would be much better.


Bombay Pani Puri - RM20

This is actually crunchy semolina puffs served with chilled spice water and sweet tamarind chutney. The dish looked appealing with the many colours on the plate, however, it did not please my taste buds.

The semolina puffs are bite size and with a big mouth (literally) like me, I'd gobble one straight down. It did not have much taste to me. It was like munching down air. The chilled spiced water didn't help much. Am I too picky on food?


Tandoori Lamb Chop - RM50

I'm a meat person and this is what I've been looking out for. Marinated with spiced yogurt and then roasted in the tandoor would best give it the authentic Indian cuisine taste.

And believe me, this dish was not a let down. Perfectly roasted with the juices still remain in the meat. Best to eat this with your fingers as it'll go to places where forks and knives have never been to! I would prefer having a larger piece, though it's already considered a huge piece for some.


Butter, Garlic, Plain Naan - RM10/basket

Naans are one of the most basic Indian food. It is an oven-baked flatbread. Having naans served, brought back memories when I last dined at a Indian cuisine restaurant.

Vansh's naans taste slightly milder. I still remember the raisin naan I had when I was small. I was looking forward to that same experience when I first taste naan but I could get that from Vansh. The naan's flavours are a little too mild for me.


Vegetarian Kebab Platter - RM30
Chef's exquisite kebab sampler featuring aloo mutter tikki, tandoori mushroom and tandoori paneer tikka

Oh no! Not another vegetarian dish? Haha! But then again, I kind of liked this dish because of its flavours it has and also because of its juicy-ness. I would have this as a side dish.


Chilli Cheese Kulzza - RM20
Fresh fluffy bread packed with mild yellow cheddar, piquant chilli and fresh coriander.

And then we're having pizza next. You can taste the cheese here, unlike the flavours in the naans. There's nothing much to be excited of over this dish. It's just another bread dish. Probably, it would be a better choice to order if you are planning on ordering naans.


vansh"/

Kashmiri Rogan Josh - RM36
Lamb cubes simmered in a fennel scented yogurt gravy

Now this would be a dish to die for! It's lamb cubes served in a bowl of gravy. Wherever I go, lamb would be one of my top choices of food to eat. This is another lamb dish that made my day. Best served with Lamb Briyani (RM45) and that's double kill! Lamb x2! 



Lamb Vindaloo - RM38

Now you're talking! Another lamb dish! It just gets better and better. For me, you can't go wrong with any lamb dish. 


Masala Chai

It is an Indian tea which has Indian spices and herbs. The wonderful aroma filled the air as it was brought to the table. You can have it with or without sugar and milk but I just had two teaspoons of sugar in mine just so I could taste it pure.

Masala Chai is very different compared to the usual English tea you have every other day. Because of its spices used to brew this tea, it has a certain kick to it. It not exactly sweet but rather 'spicy' for me. Not really my cup of tea but for plus points, its aroma was absolutely amazing.



Khajooor Kulfi - RM18
Homemade frosty flavoured with exotic dates

Kulfi is a traditional Indian ice-cream. Unlike the usual ice-creams, this is more dense and is much more creamier. I've never had kulfi before and this was certainly my first time. I was looking forward to its taste.


Of course if it was also your first time having kulfi, the first bite will seem to take you off a bit but after a few more bite, you'll soon learn to love it. It's not too sweet and yet it taste great.

We also had a choice of Lychee Kulfi which was equally good.



If you are planning on having Indian cuisine and want to try what Vansh has to offer, I'd recommend you the lamb dishes.

My Toshiba Satellite L200 Is Dying

Is your desktop or laptop growing old? Do you feel that they are soon going to die off and go into 'hardware heaven'?

Have you experienced times where your system just reboots itself automatically without any warning? One time you are busy doing your work, the next second, the screen just goes blank and the next thing you see is the startup screen.

Have you experienced the time where you have to reboot your system a few times just to get into the Log-in screen? First time you push the ON button, it'll reboot itself a few times before actually coming into the Log-in screen.

Have you experienced the time where your system just hangs and there's nothing you can do but to push and hold onto the power button till your system shuts down and to start it up again?

Have your experienced a crashed screen, where your screen will have jagged lines something like a smashed screen but more uniformed?

I have and still am having the same problems.

My Toshiba Satellite L200 has been with me for almost three years now. We've battled through great fights with various trojans and viruses. It has survived a couple system reformats. It has been together with me for countless nights awake, accompanying me when I am up finishing my assignments.

But now, I feel like it is already too tired to be going through more tough challenges. I think its time for my companion to go to rest.

Which is why I need a new partner in crime. I'm auditioning potential candidates. Leave me your application in the comments section below. Or if there are anyone out there who thinks you are qualified enough, send yourself to my doorstep and I'll accept you straightaway.

Send yourself to: Platinum Hill Condo PV5, Jalan Melati Utama, Taman Melati Utama, 53100 Setapak.

Here's how sick my Satellite L200 is:

Blogging Tips: 2.0 Blog Headers

Hello again! I will be adding a second entry to my list of Blogging Tips. You can read all about my first entry regarding Blog Column Layouts here. However this time around, I will be talking about blog headers.

When ever you click into someone's blog, the first thing you see would be their blog headers. So by looking at the blog header, it will give you the first impression towards that person's blog. A bad header can make your reader lose interest in reading your blog, while a good header will of course boost up your blog's appearance.

What makes a good blog header? And what makes a bad blog header?

2.0 BLOG HEADER
There are various blog header designs out there. I would divide the most-used/common designs into three main categories: Rectangular Header, Over-sized Header and the Text Header.

blog header designs

2.1 RECTANGULAR HEADER
This type of header is the most commonly used header.

What normally a person would do is, they would probably make/edit their own header in a photo editing software (eg. Photoshop), upload it into a photo hosting site and then replace the HTML coding. Which in the end, you will get something like this.

blog header

If Figure A is what you get, then you are probably safe for now. This design is created with the header actually sticking to the content area. Thus, there will be no alignment problems. However, one thing bad about this type of design is that too many people are already using this design which eliminates its uniqueness.

On the flip side, if Figure B is what you get, you would probably want to reconsider on your blog header design. As you can see from the image above, a very clear rectangular shape is visible. This particular design is way passed its time. What used to be a good design back then is no longer a good design now.

First off, the rectangular shaped header looks like it's floating on air and has no docking place. The sharp and hard edges is very unpleasing to the eye and it can be quite irritating to look at.

One way to solve this problem is to blend your header with the background or content area, which will be explained more later in this blog post.

2.2 OVER-SIZED HEADER
This is yet another very popular type of header designs among bloggers. An over-sized blog header is when your blog header actually covers more than 3/4 of your screen and only leaving your content a small little space to peek through at the bottom of the screen.

blog header design

To tell you the truth, I used to have an over-sized blog header once. I thought that it was cool to have a huge picture which pops up the first thing my blog loads. I treat it as my 'welcome page'. I used this layout for quite some time until I realised that this layout isn't really practical anymore.

The first thing you should know is that users do not like to scroll. Yes, scrolling up and down with your mouse is actually bad. So, if you have a huge header such as Figure C, your reader with have to scroll down a few times to get to your content.

Even though your header looks great and you feel like showing it off to other people, people will only get impressed once and after that they would treat your header just like any other header.

Everyone is rushing for time. What readers want are your blog content and not your header. Don't waste their time having them to scroll down to get to your content.

2.3 TEXT HEADERS
Text headers can turn out to be good or bad. It all depends on how you execute it. Here are two examples of blog headers which uses text.
blog header designs

Figure D looks like the normal preset theme you get off your usual blog hosting site. It doesn't give you much freedom to edit your blog header. You just type in the words and the alignment is all done for you.

Simple but this can be deadly as it could ruin the whole design of your blog.

The header in Figure D looks unfinished, poorly executed and not planned properly. A wrong choice of font can be disastrous.

My suggestion is to get a blog template which lets you upload your own blog header image. What you need to do is to go to your own image editing software and create your own blog header using just fonts. Play around with the sizes, colours, font type and alignment. Your header does not only need to be in one single straight line.

Sometimes, if you choose the correct font type such as in Figure E, it will do all the work for you. The font looks more professional and the size and alignment is just right, giving it the 'kick'. Even though it is just text but it manages to give you that strong feeling.

2.4 BLENDING YOUR HEADER WITH THE BACKGROUND
One additional thing to take note of is, if you want your blog header to look at much better. Try blending your header with your background or your content area.
blog header designs

The aim here is to create a border-less header.

In the two examples above, both headers does not seem to have an edge. This can be achieved by using a transparent background while editing your header.

With this kind of header design, it doesn't hurt your readers eyes with sharp and pointy edges. However, it might take some time to design one of these headers to match with your blog template as some blog templates might need some further tweaking in the coding area.

Then again, do try to use this method while creating your blog header. It works for almost all blog header designs.

2.5 THE VERDICT
Get rid of rectangular floating headers. Especially those which has sharp edges.
Over-sized headers can be a bad thing, unless you know what you are doing.
Text headers can be simple but it does delivers if executed properly.
Blend your header with your background.

2.6 DOES THIS HELP YOU?
I have completed another set of blogging tips in hopes that it could help you all out just a little bit in understanding what design works and what doesn't.

There are a lot more header designs out there which I have not touched on. If you have any queries, do drop me a comment and I'll try my best to help you out.

Of course, everything here is based on my own perspective and point of view. My opinions might be different from yours.

Blogging Tips: 1.0 Blog Column Layouts

This is a blog post which I have been wanting to do for a very long time. I don't consider myself a professional blogger and knows every single detail about blogging. I'm just here giving my own personal opinion based on what I see and also what I feel should be better.

I will be starting a 'Blogging Tips 101' category, where I blog about things which can help make your blogging experience a little bit better.

1.0 BLOG LAYOUTS
In this particular blog post, I will be blogging tips about blog layouts. These past few years ever since I've started blogging, I've came across some good blog layouts and also some really bad ones.

Now these blogs which has bad layouts does not really benefit the blogger at all. This is because a blog with a bad layout will give the readers a hard time reading through your content, thus giving them an eye sore. Worse comes to worst, they will not come back again!

1.1 COLUMNS
First of all, if you would like to create a blog or change your blog layout, the first thing you must make sure is:

How many columns do you want your blog to have?

Is it a one column blog? Two columns or three columns? It can go right up until seven or eight columns. From what I've seen, most blogs have the default 2-column layout. This is a safe layout but you will still have to organize your widgets properly.

If you are having two or more columns, you will also need to consider the positioning of each column, as there can be various positions for your columns to be placed.

I have separated the column positions into two groups, The Basic and The Advanced.
columns

columns

1.1.1 WHICH COLUMN LAYOUT TO CHOOSE? 2-COLUMN LAYOUT?
If you have just started blogging or you have no idea at all about coding and editing, I would suggest you to choose the 2-column layout.

First off, this is a safe layout to work with. It will least make your blog look messy and unorganized. Having your widgets place all in one part of the screen will make it easier for your readers to search through them.

Also remember to choose an appropriate width for your content bar (the area where your blog posts appear) and also your sidebar. Too much white space in your sidebar and your widgets will look like they are floating on air and if the width is too small, some widgets will not be able to fit into it.

1.1.2  3-COLUMN LAYOUT
As for this layout, it will be a tight crop for all of your content. Two sidebars on either side of your screen will take up quite some space in your content area. Thus, you will have a tight crop of your content area and your uploaded photos need to be resized smaller.

I would not say that this is a bad layout. Just that it needs some clever tweeks and a bloggers own creativity and you'll do fine with this layout.

Do take note of the columns' width. It can be very TIGHT.

1.1.3  4-COLUMN LAYOUT
If you are thinking of using the 4-column (Left or Right sidebars) layout. My advice is, Don't!

This layout is just too messy for a blog. You're widgets will look unorganized with the different column widths.

As for the 4-column (Lowerbars). This can be a good layout for the advanced users but do look up for one which has a left or right sidebar as well (which will make it a 5-column layout). This way, you can place all our important widgets on the side and place your not so important widgets on the bottom. Readers will get access to your important widgets (chatbox, ads, etc.) easily without having the trouble to go through all the unnecessary widgets (tags, labels, random links, button, badges, etc.)

1.1.4 MENU BAR
Sometimes, you will come across blog layouts which have menu bars. These are very useful instead as it is usually located at the top of a page, just below your header.

This menu bar gives easy and fast access to your readers to get to other important pages such as your About and Contact page.

1.2 THE VERDICT
If you have just started blogging or have no idea on how to organize a multi-column blog, get a 2-column blog layout, preferably with a menu bar.

If you have been blogging for quite some time already and you know your way around the coding, get a 2-column blog + lower bars + menu bar.

1.3 DOES THIS HELP YOU?
I hope with what I have blogged here, will help you decide on which is the better layout to use for your blog. Of course, what I have given is just a brief explanation on each column layout pros and cons. There are more to be said but I'll just leave it as it is.

If you have any questions concerning this topic, you can leave me a comment below and I'll be sure to help and assist you the best I could.

Help me share this blog post on Facebook and also by Tweeting it, so that it could help other bloggers out there too! =)

Until next time, happy blogging!

Lunch At Frames, Sunway Pyramid

Last week, I won a prize from P1 W1MAX's Twitter contest. You can read about it here. Well, if you are wondering what the prize is, it is a RM50 cash voucher to dine at Frames, Sunway Pyramid.

The first time I went to Frames was during the My Selangor Story 2010 Bloggers Competition. Have you read my entry on #MSS 5th day?

So anyway, I invited Catherine to come along with me for lunch and so we went to Frames last Tuesday.
frames
I can say that the service there is up to par. We were greeted with happy staffs and happy staffs = happy customers.

Since, I'm using the voucher, we had to have the food from the Set Menu instead but we do have a choice for our mains.

Well, we got a little confused on how to use the voucher because there were no Terms and Conditions printed on the voucher. We asked whether the voucher's value is used to deduct off from our receipt. I heard 'No', Catherine heard a 'Yes'. In the end, we got a little confuse with everything but we just ordered anyway.
iced lemon tea
We had Iced Lemon Tea for drinks. It's very thoughtful for Frames to prepare a separate 'jug-lett' of sugar syrup for their customers. Sometimes, Iced Lemon Tea can be a bit too sweet for some people. This way, we can have the sweetness to our own liking. =)
mushroom soup
Then the starter came. Mushroom Soup served with a chilli parmesan cruton. It gets your appetite started but beware to those who have a small stomach, you might just be full before even reaching your mains!
fish n chips
Catherine's main of Fish 'n' Chips.
Cruncy breaded dory fillets with steak fries, homemade tartare sauce and green peas puree.

At first glance, I thought the puree was wasabi. Wasabi with fish n chips eh? Haha!
crusted salmon
And mine would be the Crusted Salmon.
Homemade coriander infused smoked salmon served with sauteed abalone mushrooms, asparagus, rocket and lime-soy butter.

It was orgasmic! Haha! It was a pretty big portion too. During  my whole experience of eating, its hard to find a good place with serves a generous amount of food with acceptable price.

To be honest, the first thing I was looking forward to eat was the greens. Usually people will put aside and not eat their greens but this just looks so appetizing.

Their sides of mushroom, asparagus and mashed potato are just the right serving because the salmon is humongous!

Halfway through my salmon I was already quite full. However, I do prefer my salmon to be a little more 'moist'? It's a little too dry for me I guess.

Both of us were bloated at the end of the meal. Feels like we can skip dinner. =) So we asked for the bill, still not knowing how they would charge us but then it was said that the RM50 voucher could pay for both our meals. So it was a free lunch! *happy*


All in all, we had a great time at Frames. The customer service was good, environment is relaxing, they were very generous on food portions. I guess that's all you need for an enjoyable dining experience.

However, I do like to point out that maybe next time, vouchers should have Terms and Conditions printed out or at least have someone explain clearly on how to use the voucher because I wasn't really clear about it that day because one would think that vouchers are used to deduct off from the total bill and you get to order from the menu.

frames reminisce

So if you are planning on having lunch or dinner, do try out Frames at Sunway Pyramid. It's just located right at the main entrance of Sunway Pyramid (Oasis Boulevard), under the Sphinx head.

It opens daily from 11.00am to midnight.

You can even have reservations for parties. Just give them a call at 03-5631 9989.

The Day I Bought A Buffalo

What's the lifespan of a laptop? Some say it's 5 years but mine is already giving me problems.

First of, I cannot really take it out with me anymore because whenever I do, I will have problems starting the system. I don't know why but the system either fails to load or it will restart the loading process on its own.

Then, now I'm having this problem of my laptop restarting automatically. I was surfing the net doing my own thing when laptop's screen suddenly turns off and the whole system restarts itself! It already happened twice!

Having afraid of losing my files. I went out to the farm in search of a Buffalo. And indeed I found one.
buffalo
I bought this animal for RM219 and it weights 1 tonne! Is this a good deal or what? How much did you get yours for?
buffalo
Well, it runs on AC power which means it decreases mobility which I don't really mind actually. I just need it to back-up my files and also plough my land.
buffalo
All my files are backed-up now and I am happy. I feel safe.

But I do hope that my laptop does not die on me. It's like my life now.
Unless some company decides to sponsor me a new one. =)

GLITZ at The Pavillion, First World Plaza Was Awesome!

glitz

Then I met up with Zaid and Kak Zara at McDonalds. Spectre came next, WenYi, then Denise. Victor managed to catch up with us minutes later.

In case you didn't know, the #MSS Top30 bloggers were invited by Resorts World Genting to watch its latest show at The Pavilion which is GLITZ.

We then later met up with Max, Nicole, TianChad and Feeq. JoshuaLaw tagged along too. It was like a mini #MSS gathering for us. It has been awhile since I've last met everyone. It was since #MSS ended actually.

Besides the #MSS gang, there were also the RWGenting Facebook Contest winners who would be going up together with us.

The bus was running a bit late because of traffic but it was okay, we're already very grateful for the invitation and not to mention free buffet dinner which we were going to have later.

THE QUICKEST BUFFET EVER!
We departed KL Sentral about a little past 7pm and arrived around 8.20-8.30pm. Coffee Terrace, Hotel Genting was where we went for our buffet dinner. Tell you what, it was the QUICKEST buffet dinner I ever had!
coffee terrace
Well, because of the slight traffic problem earlier, our schedule was a bit off which only allows us a mere 20-30 minutes for dinner. It was truly an experience. I grabbed my food and paced my steps slightly quicker because I never want to waste a good buffet meal. I love buffets!

Given the short time for dinner, I actually had a lot of fun. Gobbling down food like I had never eaten in days and I still managed to go for 3 rounds! 3 round in 30minutes is pretty good I must say.

GLITZ
Finishing our last bite of food, we rushed ourselves to First World Plaza and headed towards The Pavilion.
genting highlands
GLITZ is showcasing 4 acts. The HuaChen Acrobatic Group, Daria Pushankina the Sand Artist, Charles Bach the Magician and also not forgetting the GLITZ Dancers from Ukraine.

glitz genting

Be amazed by the amazing balancing and juggling acts by the HuaChen Acrobatic Group. Their performance also includes a skipping rope act and you should really keep an eye out for the '3-level-balancing-skill', that is truly awesome!

Dania Pushankina also had quite an interesting show with interesting drawings made from sand. This will be a new experience for people who has not seen this type of art before. Truly an eye-opener. However, I do prefer if there was more of a storyline throughout the whole sand art 'painting'.

Be astounded by Charles Bach with his great magic tricks and illusions which includes an escape from a straigtjacket! I was hoping for more illusion tricks though or maybe sawing an audience in half would be great! Haha!

And how can we forget the wonderful GLITZ dancers. If pretty women dancing on stage is what you are looking for, then you show really come to watch this performance.

All in all, it was an entertaining show. =)
charles bach
STARBUCKS COFFEE, FIRST WORLD PLAZA
GLITZ ended at 10.30pm which gives us half an hour to wonder around before leaving back to KL. Guess where we heading?
starbucks coffee
Genting Highlands is really THE PLACE to chill out and relax. One day, I will come up here to do my assignments. One day. I hope Resorts World Genting can sponsor me a room. =P

With such a cooling environment, I mean, who can resist it?
starbucks
30 minutes really isn't enough for us. We didn't even get to warm our chairs! LOL!

THE DEPARTURE
At 11pm, we headed to the First World Bus Terminal where we bid goodbye to Amelia and Denise. Thank you for all inviting us and welcoming us and not forgetting, replying to all our questions. LOL! #MSS bloggers always asks a lot of questions, don't they?
my selangor story genting
Thank you once again. Hope to see you guys real soon and do invite us for more events in the future. XD

Invitation to Watch GLITZ by Resorts World Genting

I will be departing from KL Sentral to Genting Highlands tomorrow evening.

If you still remember my post on My Selangor Story: Day 2, it was when we were up in Genting Highlands. We were given VIP treatment and also was given the chance to watch the amazing show, Dazzle, at The Pavillion.

Few days back, the #MSS bloggers receive an invitation from Resorts World Genting to once again visit the City of Entertainment to enjoy a brand new show at The Pavillion.

This time, we will be enjoying ourselves to GLITZ!

An hour-long extravaganza bringing together internationally acclaimed performers in an East-meets-West concept, get ready to be dazzled by an enchanting and fabulous journey of wonder - guaranteed to be an amazing and unforgettable experience for the whole family!

Among the main acts featured will be the renowned magician, illusionist and escape artist - Charles Bach. With his extensive theatrical training, he will captivate you with amazing feats of illusion and deft sleight-of-hand. Next, we have the PuYang HuaChen Acrobatic Group - whose agility and dexterity is backed up with over 3000 years of tradition. Their skilled display of gravity-defying tricks will leave you on the edge of your seat. Last but not least, we have the brilliant and beautiful Daria Pushankina - mistress of sand art. Though young, her sheer talent in sand animation has won her accolades the world over. A truly unique form of story-telling that is sure to leave an impression!

All this and so much more awaits you this November. Come and enjoy the fun and excitement by delving into the depths of imagination today!
