Nearly twice the price of a NEX-C3 with 18-55mm E-mount lens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Paring this with NEX-5N, the size and feel of this small beast is just quite right in the hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This len comes directly from Japan is solid metal built and matte metallic black finish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It comes with a high quality plastic hood and lens pouch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The front part of the lens has grove to hold the lens hood and the back element rather deep inside the lens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The silent motor focusing on the lens is quick and good for movies recording.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surprising the black beauty has no OSS or Optical Steady Shot, built into the lens. Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also don’t have the answer. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As with most E-mount lens, this one uses 49mm filters also.</span><br />

And last month was the King of Fruit season, so for my portion of feed the host, I prepared by durian ice-cream and roast pork lion. To make by durian, I went and bought some D24 and then separated the flesh from the nut. After making the ice-cream, there was still a lot of leftover durian plup. What should I do?<br /><br />Then I remember my boss recommend me this cake shop in Petaling Street which sell tarts, cake, swiss roll made of durian flavour. With this in mind, try to make my own durian cake. I use a butter cake recipe and mix it with all my durian pulp.<br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/SwKrs73ykdI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/mHZS-RDjnqo/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/SwKrs73ykdI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/mHZS-RDjnqo/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405071291272303058" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Here I fold in my flour for the final phase of my durian cake</span></span>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/SwKrtAGm67I/AAAAAAAAAgY/myaDIZUeok8/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/SwKrtAGm67I/AAAAAAAAAgY/myaDIZUeok8/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405071292408196018" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Bake it in the oven till it turn light brown or something like below.<br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/SwKrtjFUCbI/AAAAAAAAAgg/SY4d7BTqnO4/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/SwKrtjFUCbI/AAAAAAAAAgg/SY4d7BTqnO4/s400/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405071301798005170" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />My verdict, well the texture is soft however the cake feel a bit dry.

You can also have it dry with bit of curry soup added. However, there is this place in OUG and Pudu that served very thick curry mee that is quite similar to what is serve at my hometown. If I am not mistaken, the Pudu one is call May Keng (is the name spell correctly?) which is also famous for their Lam Mee. They have a branch here in Seri Kembangan, one of shoplots near South City Plaza, nicely decorated with air-cond. What is the other one in OUG??mmmm...can't seem to remember is name. I have go there check it out again. In Petaling Street itself, this store in market called Mardas Lane serve them with vegetables. I always goes there for lunch, not the curry mee but yong tau foo and chee cheong fun.<br /><br />Anyway, let steer back what I promise <a href="http://tummythoz.blogspot.com/">Tummy Thoz</a> after an prelude conversation some many many months back. This is all about Ipoh Curry Mee and yes particular the dry type...my favourite.

Nowadays most of supermarket packages the goods in multiples and very reasonable price which is so tempting. Do I sound like a houseman(wife)? After some days of specific memory loss, these supposedly good deals does not fill my stomach, it becomes a major source of food for my dustbin. I do not always forget about it, sometimes you got so much of work or appointment which by the time I reach home, it will be too late to cook anything.</span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">So when I decided to try a cheese cake, I bought a whole kg of Anchor Cream Cheese. After making the first mix strawberry and lemon cheese cake, I need to quickly make another cake before my dustbin get its bite on the other half kg of the cream cheese. So I look at my another cookbook, celebrity chef Su Chan (who is she? I never heard of her before, just got the book at discount at M’sia Book Fest for discount) to look for my next cake ideas.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">The American Cheesecake recipe looks like the easily to prepare and quick with those existing ingredients I have.

I used to buy a whole butter cake filled with delicious sugar icing during the holidays so that it can fill-up my holiday appetite and forget about calories for a while.<br /><br />Now with the pricing of goods has gone 10 folds, you can’t get my favourite butter cake for only RM28.

It is plain and simple. Two most important things you need are a fridge and mixer (stand or handheld). The ingredients for the base flavour of the ice-cream, coffee-mate and full cream milk and sugar (fine). </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134946173201773986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/R0L-VqJxdaI/AAAAAAAAALo/JmGq4-6AKec/s400/P1000610.JPG" border="0" />Then you have to get a nice measuring cup like this glass cup from Pyrex (cost me a few fingers after unsuccessfully searching for a few supermarket for a plastic one). <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134946783087130098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/R0L-5KJxdfI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/wMwtYdZ1ogI/s400/Pyrex2.jpg" border="0" />The measurement are same amount for each coffee-mate and the full cream milk i.e. 1 cup (250ml) of coffee-mate, 1 cup (250ml) of full cream milk and sugar ¼ cup for every 1 cup of those two items. If you want it more sweet, you can more sugar. Mix them together in big bowl until the sugar are completely melt into the mixture. </p><p></span></p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134946181791708594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/R0L-WKJxdbI/AAAAAAAAALw/2pRBTpm2CQo/s400/P1000611.JPG" border="0" /><br />Then put the mixture into the freezer of your fridge and freeze the mixture until it is harden. Normally this take about a day, then put the harden mixture into a bowl and beat it with your mixer until it become creamy so that the air are beat into the mixture and it would become soft when you refreeze the mixture back. For the different flavour that you which to create, you add those flavour at the beginning or after beating the mixture. </span><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134946783087130082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/R0L-5KJxdeI/AAAAAAAAAMI/RR5gowd8TLI/s400/P1000711.JPG" border="0" /><br />Now let your creative mind flow, create all your flavour you like. I have made mint flavour, chocolate & chocolate chip flavour, cookies & cream flavour and durian flavour. For the mint flavour, I added this mint syrup flavour I bought last time I visited FHM 2007, c & c flavour, add them on the half freeze of the base flavour. The King of Fruits, take out the meat of the durian add into the mixture and then filter out fruits veins that is not soluble in the mixture. </p></span><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134946194676610514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/R0L-W6JxddI/AAAAAAAAAMA/I69LrAYm1zE/s400/P1000614.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134946190381643202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/R0L-WqJxdcI/AAAAAAAAAL4/Xuyus6YPXf4/s400/P1000612.JPG" border="0" /> Mint Flavour Ice-cream</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134947642080589314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVZFPhEl7EE/R0L_rKJxdgI/AAAAAAAAAMY/YmkAQyLFUFA/s400/P1000927.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Mint with Chocolate Top</p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><p>There you have it the ice-cream formula for all of you to try it at home. </span></p><br /></span>Meng Keathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13761170116468090929noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194918922517061655.post-22850197741718502872007-11-06T21:00:00.000+08:002008-12-09T14:29:22.065+08:00Nyonya - Pongteh Meat<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">It was pot luck time and this time it is held at <a href="http://www.havefoodwilltravel.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#333399;"><strong>BBO (Sid & Sunny)</strong></span></a> at their place somewhere in Damansara.
