Secret Second Life

Kenny Rogers Roasters deserves a special mention.  What started as an American franchise is now no longer operating in its country of origin. It is now owned by a Malaysian company and is making a big comeback in Asia, especially in China. TIME titled its article on the reincarnation as: “The Secret Second Life of Kenny Rogers Roasters … in Asia”. (read here)

My favourite side-dishes have always been their Garlic Parsley Potato, Macaroni & Cheese and Aromatic Rice. Love their Banana Muffin, too. All seems to taste better, too 🙂

Cendol Drive-Thru

Move over, burger and coffee drive-through places! We now have a Cendol Drive-Thru complete with an attap-thatched roof. I like it that there is no intercom nor a 3-stop order process.  Just drive up to the makcik, place your order and pay when the sweet, icy dessert is handed over (see inset).

Cendol Bakar Drive-Thru is at Route 54, Kampung Assam Jawa, Ijok, Kuala Selangor.

My favourite cake is Delicious Restaurant’s “Coconut Cake with Fresh Coconut Filling covered with Hawaiian Coconut Shavings”, It tastes really awesome but I like it for another reason.

I like how it makes me think about shapes, colours, textures and translucency, looking at it each time. Any cake that makes a man think before biting into it, is a good cake 🙂

A single colour-temperature calibrated ML-360 light was placed diagonally across the dining table. I didn’t have to desaturate or adjust the colours later. It is a “black and white” image photographed in colour.
