Look who is making assumptions or presumptions now?

On the contrary, I visited the websites. Pretty nice layout and design. Yes, I found the 50% discount promotion. And I also came across a link to a review at the Star.

I have reproduced the article here. I am not going to comment about it. The others can read it and if they want to, draw their own conclusions.

The funniest part is, Isacc Ali, the managing director, posted an advertisement on tmnet.communities as a student! WTF! LOL!

Hungry for Hungarian cuisine

By YIP YOKE TENG
No. 3 Jalan Telawi 3
Bangsar Baru
Tel: 03- 2283 2128

Malaysians are a lucky lot. We have an endless list of mouth-watering local dishes, and we can easily find a wide array of authentic foreign delicacies in town.

Recently, something new has entered the colourful culinary potpourri ?a Hungarian restaurant.

Paprika Restaurant in Bangsar Baru prides itself as the only Hungarian outlet in the country, and in South East Asia.

''Hungarian food is ranked highly by gastronomists worldwide. Hungarian likes good food and we want to introduce them to other parts of the world,'' said one of the owners, Zsolt Gordos.

According to managing director Isacc Ali (hahahahaha wtf), Hungarian food is characterised by the generous amount of spices used.

Paprika is one of the most popular ingredients to spice up the dishes and thus the restaurant is named after it.

Hungarian cuisine is said to be almost similar to Malaysian food for their hot and strong-flavoured nature. Due to this, the outlet is getting more popular among local diners since the restaurant opened in September.

Stepping into the restaurant, you will find that not only the owner and chefs, but also a lot of other things are specially flown in from Hungary.

Hungarian Beef Goulash Soup, one of the signature dishes, was served first. It is a traditional dish and the soup is served in a metal bowl resembling cauldron specially brought in from Hungary.

The red-coloured soup is slightly tangy with a light spicy note. It is rich and thick, combining the essence of beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic and paprika powder.

Looking as fiery as the soup, red-coloured Pancake Hortobagy Style tastes milder than it appears to be. The pancake contains small chucks of stewed veal, and is topped with the savoury and slightly sour dill and paprika sauce.

The main course was Grilled Fish Szeged Style, a popular way of preparing salmon in the south region of Hungary. The salmon fillets are fried until golden brown and moistened with sour cream and dill sauce. Steamed parsley potatoes balanced the taste.

Stuffed Tomatoes Served With Mixed Salad is highly recommended for vegetarians. Tender tomatoes is combined with diced abalone mushrooms, potatoes, capsicums and then sprinkled with spices. This dish is served with vegetable salad, dressed with balsamic vinegar that may taste too pungent to some.

Named The Chef’s Favourite, the plate of sweet and crispy fried fruit roll adorned with chocolate ice cream is created not only to please the diners?palate but also to make one think.

Diners are actually asked to guess what the filling is and those who get it correct can have their next drink free!

The dining area is done exquisitely with sculptured earth-tone tiles covering the floor and lower half of the walls. Furniture is cosy and simple in design, diverting one’s attention to the numerous Hungarian artefacts arranged tidily at the sleek bar counter.

On top of all that, Paprika completes the Hungarian culinary journey with an assortment of Hungarian wines and liquors, some of which are said to be among the best-ranked in the world.

The cream de la cream is Tokaji 1988, said to be one of the world’s best dessert wine sold at RM980 per bottle.

This wine is up for grabs in a lucky draw; diners are eligible for it if they join the restaurant’s New Year’s Eve party.

Paprika liquor, which is brandy soaked with paprika is equally enticing. Many of the diners also opted for Vilmos, a pear liquor, for its pleasant aroma.

Comment On My Blog

Someone wrote a commentary on Suzen's, Starwing's and my blog here.

BLOGGEROO BANZAI
12/04/03

As the 'editor' or compiler of Malaysia Central's Blog Directory, I'm often asked about the criteria for inclusion or exclusion. The answer is simple; if you're a guy, you'll get in almost immediately. Seriously, while the girls outnumber the boys by a big margin, the 'chosen ones' are the fresh (updated) blogs, while the excluded are the stalled blogs and those with little or zero opinion except 'cut n paste' or links to somebody else's articles.

When I first came across blogs with fancy 'skins' and multiple frames, I was shell-shocked and outraged. Almost every rule of web site usability and navigation was ignored with the use of garish colors combined with the tiniest of fonts. My browser's scrollbar changed colors involuntarily and the mouse pointer hijacked, mutated into unfamiliar shapes. As much as I loathed these designs, I gradually accepted the fact that blogs are totally different animals. They follow no rules (but their own) and a blog is freeform expression in both speech and dressing.

In the advertising industry, there's a popular phrase, 'slice of life', which often refers to commercials created around those unrealistic realistic moments of our everyday lives. In contrast, the blogs here are much truer living slices of everyday Malaysian lives. From social commentaries to detailed diaries of hormone-charged teens, these blogs offer the outsider a peep into the lives of its writers, many of who remain, understandably, anonymous. Perhaps, by the same token, the observer too, finds the two-way anonymity and voyeuristic approach appealing.

Anne Charmaine's Secret Garden is whimsical and theme-less. It's simple and interesting random commentary from one the few bloggers on the list, with a job. Not that the other bloggers are lazy or unemployable; half of them are, after all, still in school, college or uni. Anyway, another blogger with a job and with seemingly plenty of time on his hands, is Dr Liew, with his real-life emergency room anecdotes. In one creative (and frustrated) moment; he aptly renamed the much maligned broadband service as Stream-My-Ass. And there's Starwing who made a career out of rebutting (with great logic) every news release and explanation from that infamous ISP. Becky's Slay The Virgin, seemed to change design every time I visit, but continues with her almost microscopic account of her daily ups and downs. Mostly mundane (to post-teens), but if read often enough, can be as addictive as soap operas. There's plenty of teens (and pre-teens) grappling with major issues like exams, homework and sexuality out there. Hani's Honey almost lurid account of sexual (self) gratification and post-orgasmic reflections draws the crowd. But more poignant is her self-debate on the viability of self-imposed celibacy and the inner conflicts with her religion.

If teeanage angst is not your glass of teh tarik, maybe adult or middle-aged angst is. The Farrelly Brothers will be proud of Woody's The Muse Is In. She discusses bodily functions like peeing, menstruation and backseat sex or anatomical variations like breast and penis sizes, in a nonchalant but humorous style. Jeff Ooi's Screenshot, combines journalistic savvy and well crafted pieces on topical issues with an 'insider's' angle. Oon Yeoh's Transitions, a current affairs journal peppered with running battles with MalaysiaKini readers makes an interesting daily read. Check out also Dinesh Nair's and Tim Yang's for more witty comments on contemporary issues and the occasional 'establishment bashings'.

Malaysians residing abroad present equally interesting slices. Suzen's Seow Por faithfully narrates her new life in a Melbourne university. At one point, stories about her tummy noises seemed to be the recurring theme, though. Another student in Australia, Mayeze's Waiting For You wrote a rather amusing account of her homecoming. Her seven week sojourn, unfortunately, revolved mostly around Sungei Wang and Kota Raya. Cik Kieli's London Experience is written mostly in Malay, while Akuma's Inner Turmoils, rants and bitches about being gay (and Malaysian) in San Francisco.

Hm....i guess people don't care much about sharing good news anymore....always being suspicious and judgmental towards anything good...just look in the papers if you want bad news, rumors and politics Ignoramus....i don't know who is lamer...a person whom indulge themselves with negative thoughts or a person whom knows good things when they see it

Your post *is* suspicious to me.

It sounds like a cheapo marketing stunt.

Take the subject title...50% discount which by itself is fine. But you added that its true. You already assumed that readers would disbelieve the 50% discount and you want to convince us that it is true. I suppose that's pretty okay if you said it once....but within your post, you again reiterated that it's true. You even had to end it with an exclaimation mark! :)

But that still wasn't enough. You needed to drive home the point some more. You had to tell us that it was incredible (the 50%). That's where you stumbled....you really tried too hard to convince us of the 50% discount.

Would a patron who just wants to pass on an offer that he had enjoyed to others go to such extremes? I doubt it.

Wait, I am not through criticising your post yet. You posted that it is great for students. To seek common ground with prospective customers who are students, you had to say you are also a student. Sounds pretty suspicious to me. Oh....I mustn't forget the 3 exclaimation marks too.

Tell you what, I will go and eat at the restaurant one of these days. Your post didn't even mention one word about the food, it only focused on the discount. I will write a review and post it here. I do know good things when I see it. :)

You still haven't got any facts to justify your criticisms against my post, just presumptions at most

Presumptions? That's not the right word to use. I didn't presume anything. Maybe English isn't your first language.....

Anyway, let's see if you would humour me a bit. What sort of name is Isacc? Sounds Hungarian. :)

I meant when I read your first post.....I didn't presume that it was a spam when I read it. I drew certain conclusions only after I was done.

BTW, care to shed some light on these posts :-

Oh, I hope not. Please keep this going. :)

Maybe you can post in Hungarian too, but do provide us with a translation. What is "Egyik Magyar Etterem Del Azsiaban" anyway (from subject title of first post)?

Wayyy to go bro!!

So, Isaac? Unless you can produce your student id here... or get a sworn statement from the management of that cafe you were promoting that you're not in any way connected to cafe, except as a customer... I think you owe Iggy an apology here.

Dear Ignoramus,

Check what I wrote in other posts...still nothing to proof.

It is not the point whether I am Hungarian or not...the point is this restaurant has something good to offer. I am just sharing what I know and experienced.

I am sure you didn't even check out any of the websites, but just keep on presuming and being judgmental about it. Did you validate whether the 50% promo is true or false?

You don't care about anything else but trying to challenge my right to freedom of speech...you are not a newsgroup moderator may I remind you? And there are some around...if they don't mind my post...what you say really don't pose any threat to my freedom of speech. Please challenge those who post x sites and multi level scam marketing...i am not promoting anything bad.

The truth is Paprika @ Bangsar has something good to offer...that's the bottom line.

To those out who love dining out...don't miss it! it's here at

I think you missed Iggy's point here.

1. He never challenged your right to freedom of speech.
2. He never challenged the validity of the 50% promo.
3. Your nationality didn't matter.

What he pointed out was that (correct me if I'm wrong Iggy);

1. Your original post reeked of spam, disguised as an innocent testimonial from a satisfied customer.
2. That you may not be a student/customer as claimed but instead connected to the restaurant in a more commercial way.

And to me, he has proved he's right.

So, here's my trip...

The arrival... Eh? How come so empty one? You think it's safe to go in ah?


If you like the heat and the road dust, you can sit outside...


Nice Hungarian wall, I bet it will look nicer at night.


The sofa set... And empty seats. Yes, lots of empty seats/tables, from the beginning till the end. No one else, really. Absolutely no one else beside the bartender cum waiter. Some Ang Mohs passed-by, looked at the menu and went to the restaurant opposite. See that wooden bar on the wall. It actually has quite a thick layer of dust on it.


And I zoomed in to the air curtain filter above the entrance. I think I could have eaten a bit more if I didn't do that. I think the aircond didn't work. I was sweating...


The floor... muahahaha... Absolutely no cockroach.


The waiter... seems that he is working alone. No customer mah... what to do?


Cutlery set : Kims Craft, still look new. The knife is quite sharp too.


Napkin. Quite clean and nicely folded. The table clothes are alternate white and red. So are the napkins. But I think I could do better in folding napkin.


The famous CatchAGuy Soup. Creamy liquid with longbeans, carrot cubes and chicken cubes. Each cube 0.8cm x 0.8cm x 0.8 cm in size. The soup has a weird sour taste, kind of like lemon juice or vinegar. I think the name should be ChaseAGuyAway Soup. Not very nice. You go judge for yourself.


Double Espresso. You call this Espresso? Very sour. Water too hot while brewing. Discarded after two sips. Urghhh... pass me a bowl of bird nest soup, I need to rinse mouth. (ÑàÎÑÊþ¿Ú, Óã³áÏ´ÊÖ.)


Forest Mushroom Cream Soup. Very rich mushroom taste. Better than CatchAGuy Soup. The bread has this not really special garlic/onion masala paste on it. <-- You'll see more of this not-so-special paste.


One of the Yogo Smoothies selection : Temptress - mango, orange, sherbet and yogurt. So-so. Taste mangoish only, cannot taste any other taste.


After the #@$#$%@ Espresso, had this 'Budapest Snowman - ice blended mocha with cream choco topped-whipped-wick' <-- I also don't know what it's supposed to mean. Very sweeeeeeet! And WTH is that Snowman?!?! The white cream on top is snowman?


Who needs sugar for Espresso? Cheh.


On the grill - Tenderloin "paprika" with spicy paprika ragout. Medium done. Taste like tough flour with onion/garlic masala paste. Potato cubes not bad, boiled and cheesed.


Traditional Hungarian mains - Fire Steak - beef rolls with hot and spicy fill. Real hot man, if you accidentally bite on the chillies rolled up inside. Same onion/garlic masala paste, same potato cubes. The cook must have a lot more free time, then, saving all the works by preparing the same sauce and same sidedish for different kind of food including for the spread on the bread, cis! Actually when I was leaving, he was sitting there smiling at me, damn free.


I really don't know what this is. I hope it's only some fiber from the spice they used. Please don't tell me otherwise, I'm really trying hard to keep everything where it should be.


The bill. Still okay. Can't they use a better presentation instead of a lame printout? Anyway, I'm not going back there. Period.


The restaurant accross the road... Maybe I should've gone there instead. Got firewood... Name's Grappa or something.

Traditional Treatment For SARS

Ministry of Health - Anyone who recommend traditional medicine to prevent or treat SARS will be heavily punished.

At last the lawyer realizes that those Bomohs are getting out of hand. ROTFLMAO with Ms LUITA!

Actually I'm not surprised why those Sin Sehs didn't stand up to boast that they can treat SARS. Because they are afraid to contract the disease and can't treat themselves. LOL. So they settled by passing nonsense herbal prescription around.

And Chinese herbal shop is selling SARS remedy at RM20 a pop. I say, better save the money for Viagra. At least you can die happier.

MMS On Maxis

As far as I know, Maxis does not support MMS, yet. But there's a way to overcome it. Read about it on NOWMMS. After receiving the setting on my phone, I wrote a test multimedia message to myself and attached a picture to it. The phone was trying to send the MMS immediately, as evident by a spinning envelope and paperclip on the top left corner of the screen. But it showed 'Network Busy'.

The next thing that I could think of is that the phone is not on GPRS because there's no letter 'G' on the top left corner. So I connected to my WAP site to bring on the GPRS signal.

Soon, I got a notification on the phone saying 'Multimedia Message Sent'. Two minutes later, I received another notification saying 'Multimedia Message Received'.

I was connected to my WAP site via GPRS throughout the process.

GPRS and ICQ

To enable GPRS in Celcom postpaid mobile service (which is FOC at the moment), send an SMS with the words 'GPRS ON' to 90000 and wait for the reply.

To use ICQ over GPRS, go to the WAP site http://wap88.com/icq/Default.jsp#Default or follow the link from my WAP site However, you can only add about 6 person on your contact list.

Thanks to LDragon for the two tips above which kept me awake till 2.30am this morning. *Yawn*

Adobe Photoshop

The first OIF logo in the previous post has a black upper and lower portion, which caused the words 'Menu' and 'Names' which were also black, to be invisible.

To overcome this, the wall paper need to be blanked. Then take a photo of the screen with digital camera and load it up to Adobe Photoshop. Resize it to 128 x 128 pixels, select the two black words at the bottom, retain the selection and discard the background.

Fill the selection with pure white and apply the glow effect. Then load the original wallpaper and superimpose the glowing words over it. Save the picture to the phone.

About Mask

In the recent fear about SARS, facial mask, especially N95 mask, has received tremendous attention and demand.

To the readers of this blog, there are certain facts about mask that you should be aware of. Proper understanding of how a mask work is more important than wearing one. It could be more dangerous if you don't know how to wear or handle a mask in the correct manner.

You wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth. A good mask should have two rubber bands that wrap around your head. One band goes above the ears, another below the ears to give the mask proper placement and support. Rubber bands are more efficient than inelastic strings that need you to tie behind your head. Because strings tend to get loose and is more difficult to tie.

A mask acts as a barrier between the environmental air and the air that you breathe in. When you inhale (suck in air), you create a low pressure zone in front of your face that draws the mask towards your face. This will effectively seal the edge of the mask against your face so that the air will pass through and get filtered off by the mask. During filtration, dust particles and viruses will lodge in the mask material. When you exhale (breathe out), these dust particles and viruses do not get blown away from the mask. Why?

Because when you exhale, you create a positive pressure in front of your face. This positive pressure pushes the mask off your face just a little. The air escapes through the sides instead of through the mask material.

Thus more and more dust particles and viruses get lodged in the mask everytime you inhale.

For those who are unaware, do NOT touch the mask while you are wearing it. You will transfer more than enough viruses from the mask to your fingers. And if you happen to dig your nose or rub your eyes or somebody else's for that matter, you will innoculate yourself with more viruses than when you are not wearing a mask. This is even more important to babysitters, if they happen to touch their own masks and transfer the viruses to the baby.

When you need to remove the mask, remove it carefully. Avoid coming into contact with the surface of the mask. Discard the mask safely, preferably into alcohol based disinfectant or burn it.

Happy masking. Be safe. :)

Jump Queue

Best way to jump queue in a very crowded clinic:

Just say in a loud voice that you have symptoms of SARS. Guarantee to empty clinic including the doctor and his staffs.

WAP Site Update

My WAP Site found a new host. It's at http://doc.blog.o12.org/index.wml now, LOL.

I think either Joon or Paul is going to kill me. :P

Mask Replacement

To prevent SARS, please cut bra cups and use it to cover your mouth and nose.

No choice, because surgical mask is out of stock.

One bra is enough for two.
