Old Towns

The kopitiam business has surely upgraded itself into a higher standard F&B outlet. It was a new concept to everyone at first, with its ‘old town feel’ and interesting menu.

Too bad, the market has matured to a point that you can almost find it everywhere around Klang Valley. Same outlet design, same menu, even similar shop names. It makes you think that Malaysians has run out of creative ideas (even run out of shop names), instead, copying each other to suit the market trend.

Same Menu...

Roti Bakar


White Coffee


Nasi Lemak


Half Boiled Egg


Similar Outlet Names...

Old Town Kopitiam


Old Taste


Papa Kopitiam


Kemaman Kopitiam


That’s not all… You will also find:

My Kopitiam
My Taste Kopitiam
My Toast

And the list goes on…

Seems like Starbucks is having a tough time all around…

Cheaper than Starbucks

Ahh... Time to relax after work. Try some Vietnam Coffee at Vietnam Kitchen, USJ 9 =)

Recommended hot, not cold though, cause ice will spoil the taste... I shouldn't order cold... but weather is hot that day.

You basically filter the coffee, add condense milk, stir it, then transfer the mixture into another cup. Not sure if they do it the same in Vietnam.

Taste like kopi-o, but has better aroma and not too strong. Coffee lovers, what do you think?

Money No Enough 2

Since Ah Long Pte Ltd, Singapore movies have become one of my favorites. I went to watch Money no Enough 2 last week. No doubt the typical Singapore fun dialogue and society humor is still there. What surprised me is the strong message that was carried through the story, and I bet most of us will shed tears after watching it.





I won’t spoil it if you haven’t seen this movie. I do recommend watching it with your family though.

Kudos to the actor and actress (especially Lai Ming who portraits the pity mother), and director Jack Neo for making such a great film. It is indeed valuable.

New Apartment

We bought a new apartment in Subang and currently waiting for the sales and purchase agreement to be done before any renovation. In the meantime, my sis has helped me to design and decorate the apartment space using The Sims 2 simulation. It was designed according to the layout size and plan given by the agent.

Any comments or ideas are welcomed! Anyway, liked to thank my sis Li Yun for her effort. She could be our future architect!
