Tech Savvy Seniors

Having coffee at Old Town White Coffee usually means serving my taste buds a faux feel of olden days' style coffee and toasted bread.

As much as they claim they retain the "taste" of the original white coffee, and as much as we hope to find the taste there, somehow we will be surprised by what we can find there.

Just like now, seated at the table next to mine, sits an elderly couple. Whom hit at least 60 years old. Uncle sits there sipping his ICED BLENDED white coffee and typing away on what looked like a brand new laptop. His wifey, dotingly sit next to him, occasionally stole glance to the screen, waiting for her hubby to finish whatever he is working on. This right smack in the midst of tables of younsters tapping away on their machines and/or Iphone.

Ahh... an elderly couple having coffee at old town white coffee but got carried away into the virtual world...

I wonder if I am still alive or still able to be up to date to be out yumcha and use free wi-fi when I hit that age * =) *

And also if the Uncle will whip out an Iphone....

Goodies at Jalan Batai


** Super delayed entry **



Hidden in the cluster of tall buildings and highways at Damansara Heights, there is this kopitiam which sells delicious noodles to feed the hungry office ladies and gentlemen.


My colleagues have always been talking about the famous noodles and rojak at Jalan Batai, and finally got to check it out.


The much talked about fish-head noodle soup stall


The much talked about wan tan noodle soup stall

The much talked about Rojak Buah. Well, indeed it was good, but I somehow prefer the one at Sin Kong, Taipan * hehehe *


The fish head noodle soup - I have never liked eating this dish as I am afraid of the fishy smell which always overwhelms me. However, this one is fragrant and apparently they use very fresh fish.


The wan tan mee was good as well. But it is really a nightmare trying to get a seat to eat as well as the afternoon heat. And mind you, it is those typical old, not properly maintained kopitiam - so dont think about eating there if you do not have a strong stomach! However, on the day you really in the mood to get good food for lunch and willing to brave the heat + crowd, do go over to Jalan Batai and reward your taste buds.

BB Cream - Skin 79

Of all the craze and hype of BB Cream which recently seemed to mellow down, it was highly impressive when it hits the market. I, am one who was impressed with this creation.

However, of the many many brands who sells their BB cream, so far, this is one I would recommend for fellow beauties out there to try.

The texture is really smooth and color blends in well to your skin tone without looking cakey. its easy to blend the cream in your skin as well, without you needing so much patting. Of course, the multi function BB Cream which promises so many much benefits - how can one resist right?

The best thing is that the coverage is complete but leave you looking natural. You dont look like you have a can of paint on your face and my pig-skin feels comfy with thoughout the whole day. Most foundations or BB cream irritate my skin in a way where by mid-day, my skin will itch. This one did not cause such prob.

By far, this is one of my fav BB cream. It can be a lil pricey in the family of BB cream, but if you could get it overseas, it appears to be cheaper than to buy it in KL.
