Back to Hadramout Mamalket Restaurant - does it pay to go back?

A long while ago I had a very disappointing experience at the Hadramout Mamalket restaurant at The Heritage, then I returned for yet another disappointment. Tonight is the last chance and we shall see whether we get a thumbs up or another look of disdain.

I went to the place with a couple of girls and we all brought our appetites. The order was the mixed grill, couscous libby, and hummus. This all seemed good until we had to wait more than 15 minutes to see drinks and another 40 without any food at all. Kind of interesting another patron ordered food from a competing restaurant and received it after about 15 minutes. It seems that guy had the right idea!
After an hour we enquired about our food. As it turns out despite the server repeating our order twice, the order was never actually taken.
So we walked out. Very rarely I have walked out but these guys really pushed my patience too far.

In closing, we went for some fast food, but our question was answered it definitely doesn't pay to go back to Hadramout restaurant. If anyone you know wants to eat at this restaurant slap the hell out of them and tell them to read this blog.

ESL Writing Tips - Paragraph Structuring

I've been working on some writing materials for a course I am supposed to be teaching next week, so I thought I would get the ball rolling by making a post about basic paragraph structuring. What is a paragraph? The most basic thing to learn when tackling writing a paragraph is to understand the relationship between the components and understand the definition of a paragraph. Our end result is the paragraph but before that we must have some sentences, those sentences are made up of words, those words come from ideas, and hopefully our ideas have a theme or topic. To sum up a paragraph is a bunch of words on on topic organised into a series of sentences. Simple right? What are the parts of a paragraph? So glad I asked because I have a picture just for this: So Informative Many learners do not pay close enough attention to the impact that a good topic sentence can have. In order to have a good topic sentence you must ensure that you have indeed made a logica...

Urbanfresh at Setia City Mall

I recently made the unfathomable trip from my home to Setia City Mall in Setia Alam Malaysia. I was, of course, in search of interesting shopping and imported food. Some background. For those of you living in Setia Alam congrats on picking a beautiful place to live; however, my condolences as you all live in the bloody boonies! Setia City is an INCREDIBLY nice mall with a fine selection of shops and F&B outlets, but unfortunately no game stores or Chilis (TGIFridays? Really? Ugh.) I stumbled upon a grocery store that looked quite up-scale and my import sense started tingling. What a classy place with words like Urban and fresh right in the name it must be good. The pillar says "fresh food" for seal's sake so come on! They had this interesting apple display going on at the front of the store. This is actually a cardboard tree with apples all around it. It is a neat idea... I just hope the apples didn't grow on cardboard! The fresh fruit and veg...

Free coffee

well today, as some of you malaysians may know, starbucks was giving out free drinks today between 12 and 2pm. it was a mystery frapp with no whipped cream (for shame) with red beans or tea jelly depending how lucky(or unlucky) you were. I wasn't really bothered one way or the other because the love of my life my favourite barrista was there. In true, giving out free crap fashion the line had to have about 50 people in it and took the better part of 30minutes to get through. I had once on a whim calculated how much I get paid per minute of life... let me tell you... my free frapp cost me in that equation... lucky we don' count life that way or else we would never find the joy in free coffee.

The way I see it
