Karaoke Taxi

During my business trip to KL yesterday, I manage to catch a LCCT budget taxi that is equipped with karaoke function. The taxi driver proudly pronounced that this is the first taxi in Malaysia that allows the passengers to sing karaoke inside the taxi. There's 3 mini LCD screens inside the taxi so that individual passenger can have their own view of the MTV if they are not travelling alone. You can even make request on the songs and the driver is glad to change the CD for you if he has it. The driver provided me his calling card, and you'll be surprised from the name printed that he's a Japanese. So for those that wished to sing to their heart content while commuting inside a taxi to/fro LCCT, do let me know.



The mini LCD screen for your own view

Feel free to use the mic and sing your heart out

T-Bowl Restaurant

This so-called popular restaurant in Taiwan is now opened in Penang, located in Queensbay Mall. We had a chance to try out the food there yesterday. The restaurant is relatively small but with cute interior design which makes you feel that you are eating inside the toilet or bathroom. You'll be seeing toilet bowls as seats, basins for the table, showers and toilet rolls all over the restaurant.


As the restaurant is new, the services provided are very in-experienced. Worse is different waiter will give different explanation on the foods and promotions available. The foods which we can easily make at home and will taste better are overpriced. Perhaps to encourage customers in ordering their signature food that are served in mini toilet bowl. However, none of us were ordering such food due to our mindset of eating directly from the bowl itself. My colleague ordered BBQ chicken which actually is just a fried drumstick and then covered with BBQ sauce that costs RM13.70. She complained the chicken was fried for too long and is very hard to eat. Furthermore the chicken was so small that she ended up feeling hungry again later in the afternoon.
