Teng Teng is a name used to represent Fruit Rojaks. As usual, your choices of fruits will be cut into small pieces and served with a side dish of the rojak paste.

The Rojak’s paste with a mix of ground peanuts

The favorite fruit that we choose here is Ciku / Sawo / Sapodilla fruit. Its really sweet and watery fruit.

The only fruit…

Apart from Ciku, there are many other fruits that you can choose though, like pineapple, apple, guava and many more.

How it looked like after you mixed with the rojak paste? Continue reading »

Visit to Pekanbaru can never be complete without trying out this restaurant out. Pondok Gurih. Its sheltered under a large traditional wooden house, with natural looking surroundings. Very cooling and green feel.

Pondok is a shelter place, and Gurih is Crispy. So, it would mean that a comfy restaurant that served crispy foods.

There was a gong right on the entrance, thus for every customers that came, they will sound the gong as the symbol of welcome.

Favourite foods here were BBQ fish, which we choose to have Gurame. Gepuk upi, which is cassava’s leaves. And the others were satay and fried fish.

After more than two months without proper internet connection at home, and relying mostly on cyber cafes, I finally found a good deal. Its from Telkomsel, a cellular telco company that has the widest coverage in Indonesia. This package is named as Telkomsel Flash. It has been around for sometimes, only lately, they launched a new package: Telkomsel Flash unlimited.

Yeah.. its the unlimited access, but capped at 3 GB Fair usage. Once your usage reaches 3 GB, your internet speed will be capped at 64 kbps only (this is for the 256 kbps and 512 kbps package). Fair enough, for the price. As for the Pro Package, after 3 GB fair usage, speed capped at 128 Kbps.

I then signed up for the cheapest, which cost Rp. 125,000, speed at 256 Mbps highest. But all I can get is only 114 Kbps or less, that is because there is no 3G coverage, or even HSDPA available in my town.

There are two packages available for this Unlimited access, such as One Year contract with free modem (Its not free actually, ‘cos they added the modem’s cost into the package); and another one is Regular Unlimited, without any contract. I signed up for the latter (of course without modem provided, and you have to use your handphone as modem). Better still, if you have 3G phone or HSDPA capable phone. But that won’t be very convenient as your phone will be utilized for the internet connection alone.

The Roti Prata House @ Upper Thomson is one of the top mamak place and the only place I have been that served almost everything that we have been missing eversince we came to Singapore.

After living for more than 5 years in Malaysia that makes us go for mamak food from time to time, especially for supper, and when in Singapore, with limited transportation and not easily accessible mamak stall around the residential areas, we then have not enjoyed mamak foods for sometimes.

The Menu

I have known this Roti Prata House for quite sometimes from friends who have invited me along sometimes, but couldn’t make it. This time around, before leaving Singapore for good, I made it there with a group of friends after gym. It was the best. I love their foods and they do really taste nice.
