Located at Burmah Road (nearby CTY Aquatic Shop), Little Cottege really looks like a little cottage. The double-storey shop has has small staircase, dim light, and soft music. A very good place for couple (too bad for me). Anyway, I managed to try few times there while visiting CTY Aquatic Shop (I like fishes). Photos taken are kind of dark due to dim environment there (again, suitable for couples to touch the whole body with one drink……). Getting back to business, the menu for lunch and dinner are different, with dinner costs more for set meals. The set meals usually refer to chicken/fish meals. One of my friends said that Little Cottage is more popular with its chicken.

For lunch, you can add side dishes, such as Tiramisu cake slice or fruit juice for only RM4.90 or RM0.99 respectively. It also provide plain water by default. The vegetables accompanied with the dishes are fresh and nicely cooked. Once they even provide a peach which tastes really nice and sweet.

Good thing about Little Cottage is that despite of nice environment and ambient, there is no tax applied. There is also a Little Cottage branch (called Little Cottage 2) at Gottlieb Road, Penang.

What “MOT Penang” Didn’t Tell Their Employees

Recently I seldom read headlines on local newspapers due to too many dumbaxx news involving politician like to use “backdoor”. Instead of following the news and spin around, I usually jump to IT section inside the newspaper, which at least technically more enjoyable. Today, for some reasons, I continue reading the headline which sound like the following:

The Star, 5-Aug: High-Risk Deal

The Star, 5-Aug: High-Risk Deal

It is regarding Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) investigating a case involving a sub-par Singapore IT company being assigned RM1bil Malaysia project in upgrading communication system for policemen (Hmm… sound familar). It is actually not intesting until you read the rest on page 3:

The Star, 5-Aug: Upgrading project was first given to well-known MNC

The Star, 5-Aug: Upgrading project was first given to well-known MNC

Oops, the project was given to a well-known MNC initially and the government passed it to a local IT company to handle it (but somehow it ends at a Singapore IT company hand operated by Israelis??). Also, it said currently only RM45 millions had been approved and the government had decided to scale down the project. This leads to doubt on the survival of that MNC company in Malaysia which was an issue before election this year.

Restaurant Ramen Wang

Last week I visited Tonkibento Restaurant at Lintang Burmah Road and noticed a ramen shop there called Ramen Wang. This Friday, I visited the place and ordered one XO sauce seafood ramen. XO sauce, even though sound like a wine name, is actually made of dried prawn and chili. It is mild spicy (luckily). I added RM5.00 to include one smoothie namely “Tropical Paradise” (crunched with mango juice, pineapple, banana and vanilla), a Shui Gao Soup, and a Gui Lin Gao. According to the advertisement, the noodle is made on the spot using a machine (the machine is displayed near drink counter). The ramen is kind of small for my stomach since it is fried ramen. With soup, it should be “full tank”. Luckily I ordered a fried gyoza. It tastes great with vinegar and ginger slices.

There is even an abalone ramen costs RM45! Would visit again in future.
