Restaurant Review: Canton-i at Queensbay Mall, Penang

Went to Queensbay Mall today to hunt for my sports shoe and did some last minute browsing looking for cameras. The ones I have in mind are Canon EOS 1000D which costs RM1999 with kit lens or the semi pro king of compact cameras Panasonic Lumix LX3 which costs about RM1699.

I had my lunch at the newly opened Canton-i located at the west wing of the mall which in my opinion had a really small entrance compared to its big interior. The entrance doesn't look as classy as Dragon-i's upstairs.



The front end of the interior (with the small entrance beside it.)


I liked this design where they have bamboo like trees in the middle of the restaurant separated by a layer of glass which gives the customers a serene feeling while dining.


Canton-i's signature Wan tun Mee with 4 shrimp Wan tun. Cost me about RM12.80 for the whole thing. Was it worth it?


Ordered this really unique Red Amaranth tea which is about RM5. It looks really nice and tasted quite nice as well.


Another picture of the tea~

So after 2 hours of browsing, a swift(and desperate) choice has been made:

Bye, my Nike Air Validus, you're been a great servent for the past few years :)








Hello there Sexy :)

New Balance Running: MR737

My new laptop!

I got myself a new laptop!!! Horrah! My trusty Dell inspiron 6400 has been a wonderful servant to me and thus may enjoy its retirement with my sister XD

Now its all about you babeh! My new Dell XPS M1530 laptop! Thanks dad!

I got a red 1 like the one in the pic, look nice huh! Its a special edition 1 which is under the dell product red promotion. They say that some of the money from the sale of the laptop will go into combat AIDS in Africa.

I love my new laptop but there are some pros and cons which I want to list out for those who are keen on buying an XPS laptop.

Pros,

• Very good spec (Intel Centrino Duo T7250 2.0 Ghz)
• Sleak design
  
• Nice graphics (Geforce 8600GT)
• Nice sound system for a laptop (at least better than my old laptop)
• Cheap compared to other brands with the same spec.

Cons,

• Problem with vendilation, probably its aluminium casing conducts heat (easily overheats)
• Vista sucks big time (nice graphics but a bit on the laggy side, especially when I play my favourite dotA)
• Too few usb ports (only 3)
• the usb ports are located too close to the power cord (meaning you can't unplug your usb while holding it on the sides as 1 side is blocked by the power chord)

I think this laptop is really worth its price and is suitable for mid-range gaming. I'm going to give it an 85 out of 100. Like it or not, you're going to spend the next 3 years with me babeh XD
