SATAY


I have always loved satay.  As a kid, satay was the easiest, tastiest thing to eat.   In those days, it seemed to be a regular feature at every coffeeshop you visit.  So, aside from selling kopi and teh, each coffeeshop would make their own pau and there will be someone grilling satay along the pathway outside the coffeeshop.  That was at least how I saw the world as a kid.

It seems to me that Satay has seen better days.  I think it must have peaked in popularity during the days of Satay Club at the Esplanade.  Nowadays most of the stalls don't make their own satay anymore, but buy them from a supplier instead.  There are a few reasons for this.  Firstly, it is much easier for the satay man as he does not have to go through the trouble of making his own satays.  But more significantly, our local authorities make it very hard for anyone who wishes to make their own food.  A lot of hawkers I spoke to tell me about the strict guidelines on food production.  So much so that if you wish to make your own stuff, you need to invest in a central kitchen.  Now, I can understand the importance of food safety issues but I think it can be done in a way that still encourages our hawkers to make their own food. With increasing rental costs, it will just mean that there will be less and less hawkers making their own stuff and just re-selling factory made food and that is not good news for all of us!

Malaysia Funny - Jokes and Stereotypes

The nonsense here on this post has nothing to do with attempting to cause racial riots or to induce hatred. This is created out of real life situations exaggerated so much that they are hardly true. All characters are fictional BUT based on people that the author knows. Read, Have a laugh and move on with your life.
Don't hate people based on their race, religion or beliefs, after all, we are all human aren't we?
Its time that we realized that racial issues are instigated by a select few who benefit from building walls between the races.

It is time that we stopped playing along. Its time we made a change.

Advertisement

It’s quite true about the saying – There’s no second chance at making a good first impression. Advertisement, regardless online or offline, if they don’t catch your attention within seconds they are considered failed. Agencies and big corporations do not believe in ‘cool factors’ in advertisement anymore. Instead, to really stand out of the crowd, the idea has to be really out of the box, something that makes you laugh, talks about it or at least make you look twice.


Above this is a Google Street View advertisement. Google designed transparent glass to look through to become a view and place in bus-stop shelter. This is a very effective advertising way, very creative and clear information.


This is a condom advertisement. The words "don't be stupid" is like a connotation. The advertisement show the naked guy is on battlefield, mean protect yourself. Is a quite interesting advertisement with some hidden meaning.



This is a Tyskie Beer advertisement. They place the image of their beer on the door and make door handle as a beer glass handle. This is a very effective and efficient advertising way because most of people will look at it whenever they open the door or pass by.

The good advertisement is important. A creative and good advertisement give an good impression and attention to audiences. Therefore, advertisement is a promotion way to increase the selling.
