Penang Food Paradise #34 : Restaurant Bee Hooi Chicken Rice

Are you craving for Chicken Rice at night? There is one stall selling plates of famous chicken rice starting from evening just outside Restaurant Bee Hooi that operates for long hours when it becomes busier towards evening. Restaurant Bee Hooi is a corner unit of a row of shop lots located in the same row with CIMB Bank and opposite of Belissa Row.

Chicken Rice at Restaurant Bee Hooi.

This plate of Chicken Rice selling in Restaurant Bee Hooi starting from the evening is lovely and has its own taste comparing to the others. The chicken meats are soft and the overall taste of the chicken rice is delicious which probably because of the soy sauce they drench on the chicken meats and rice.

Penang Food Paradise #33 : Kebun Bunga Road Fruit Ice

Do you crave for something cold and chilling under this supreme weather especially when the day is sunny? What are those thing that come into your mind when you are thinking of iced desserts? I am pretty sure that these names are the dessert stores situated usually in the shopping malls but the atmosphere in any one of them is too noisy, too noisy to enjoy your bowl of dessert. So, what do you do? You may consider having bowls of Fruit Ice from Tropical Fruits store located in a building just next to the hawker center off Kebun Bunga Road that leads you to Penang Botanical Garden. 

Two bowls of Fruit Ice in the hot weather. 

What is unique in these bowls of Fruit Ice? Slices of fruits mainly mangoes, papayas, and so on are placed underneath the ice which is topped with mango puree and supposed-to-be brown sugar syrup. The taste of the toppings in the ice are heavenly delicious especially the mango puree which I often tend to eat it last after finishing all the slices of fruits and ice. This is not only a pleasurable dessert but also a healthy dessert too!

Apple Earpods : A Revolution In Earbuds

With the announcement of the Apple iPhone 5 about a month ago, Apple had presented the new redesigned earphone, Earpods, that is selling $29 each on the Apple stores' racks which it is selling at RM109 in Malaysia. And if you intended to reward yourself with the new iPhone 5, it is included in the box together with the iPhone. It's like "Finally! Apple has finally took action in replacing its dreaded earphone!" but is this over-engineered earphone worth the money? Let's check it out.

The Earpods comes with a travel case which is very useful if you are bringing it around. As you can see that there are major improvements on the design which it can be said totally different with the old dreaded earphone. Getting rid of the old earphone design that has rubber wraps around it is a good thing because it is annoying with the torn-off rubbers on your old Apple earphone. The new design was designed to channel your musics directly towards your eardrums. The in-line remote and mic are bigger than the old ones and they are now having more tactile feel. The mic has the Siri emblem instead of a "dot" behind the in-line remote.

At first, I thought of that the new Earpods will probably falls off easily without the rubber wrapping around the buds. The design of this Earpods does fits comfortably in into my earbuds and be amazed, it does not falls off easily as we thought it could.

The sound quality of this Earpods vastly improved and it is numerous times than the old Apple earphone. I was so surprised to listen to my musics with smoother, fuller and more balanced, with improved emphasis on the bass and low mids sound quality. Having it tested in a public area, Border's Starbucks as an example, I really enjoyed listening to my musics at most of the time. The only noises I heard at that moment were loud conversations and crying kids with about 50% of the volume which is simply amazing to me.

In a nutshell, I am very satisfy with Earpods so far that has a revamped design and vastly improved sound quality. It really does worth the money if you are looking for an earphone with a strict budget!
