Bombay Ada Masalah

Bombay Masala was a huge disappointment. I went to the one at RH, which is the area you pass when you're coming down or going to the airport. It's directly opposite The Four Points Hotel so it's hard to miss.

Having lived in KL for almost two years now, I kind of gotten used to the mamak food so abundantly available.
So of course, after having spent close to almost two months in Kuching, I had my cravings for a particular garlic cheese naan dipped in condense milk.. mmmmmm...

Anyway, there have been a sudden burst of indian cuisine cafes opening up all across Kuching lately, Bombay Masala being one of them. From the outside, it looks too clean to be a mamak (but it just opened so yeah.) so I had my doubts about it at first. I thought it was like a fancy restaurant or something. So I googled their menu online and came across this blog which mentioned that the food wasn't too bad and they even took some pictures.

Okay, technically it was my fault because I just woke up at the time so I was ravenous for anything really. But the pictures did look pretty good so I figured why not? It's probably the closest I'm going to get to a real garlic cheese naan anyway. So I went over with some friends. Okay, first of all, one thing anyone should know about me is you do not mess with me when I'm hungry. Haha so imagine my expression when we arrived and they said basically, everything was 'Don't have..'.

We sat down and asked for the menu. I was so happy at the thought, finally! I get to taste naan again!

Me: Can I have the garlic cheese naan?
Waitress: Don't have..
Me: ........ Okay.. is it only... hanya petang.. atau malam.. ada saja?
Waitiress: Don't have..
Phoebs: ... Yeah..... so bila ada? Malam? Pagi?
Waitress: Don't have..
Me: -.- *thinking* @!#!!#$!@$@$Q!@#!@# Er.. okay.. Nasi briyani ayam madu, satu? And satu teh tarik. The blog had a picture of it which looked pretty good.
Waitress: Okay.
Evone: Dua.. dua nasi briyani ayam madu.

5 minutes later..

Waitress: Itu nasi briyani sedikit saja. Hanya cukup untuk seorang..
Me: -.- *thinking* @#!#@!$!@#@!#@!#@! Fine. Maggie mee goreng satu.

10 minutes later..

Waitress: Itu nasi briyani.. kering dah.. (something like that. I only heard the word 'kering')
Evone: -.- Fine. Maggie mee goreng dua.

30-40minutes later..

My maggie mee goreng was plain yellowish in colour and it was kinda soggy? I was probably too hungry to judge rationally but Evone said it sucked. I was so annoyed I didn't even bother to take pictures. Just take my word for it. It. Sucked. But my friends said there's a nice naan place at 7th Mile so I might go try my luck there. Moral of the story: Do Not Go To Bombay Masala. -.-

Crappiest movie of 2010

I downloaded this new movie I found online a while ago - 'Skyline'. The title sounds pretty cool, the movie posters looks interesting enough. Do.Not. Be. Fooled. 'Skyline' is the crappiest sci-fi movie I've ever had the displeasure of viewing, I didn't even have to pay to watch it and I'm still complaining. The first few scenes are okay, average starter scenes and I'm just sitting there, waiting for something interesting or out of the blue to pop out or an alien head, something!

The first scene, if I'm not mistaken, is of a couple in a bedroom and a strange bright light is shining through their curtains. Okay, this part was still alright. It got me curious so I kept watching. Then, some weird freaky alien thing happens to the guy (jealous boyfriend guy from The OC) when he looks at the light. Still okay, still reasonably intriguing. I keep watching.

It goes on to another guy (Turk from Scrubs.) This is where I get a feeling the movie's going to be bad. One thing, I'm not a fan of Scrubs, I don't understand the whole fascination with it. The characters in the show are painfully unfunny and they always do a bunch of really stupid stuff. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I'm glad it ended. Anyway, some party scene, Turk cheats on his blonde girlfriend (Older-Looking-Mean-Girl from White Chicks movie.) Blah blah blah. The thing is, it's already like maybe 40-50 minutes into the movie, and there's no climax, there's no indication of what the movie's about at all. It's like they're showing the really unimportant stuff like there's no buildup from the main character and his role in the movie.

Bleh. The plot, if that's what you call it, has no substance. At the end of the day, the movie is just basically about aliens attacking Earth by emitting their mystical-magical-light beam which causes people to be attracted to it. Then, when they get close enough, the aliens grab the humans and rip their brains out, which they then proceed to eat. -.-

I actually can't believe I stayed to finish the whole movie. I just kept hoping that, maybe, the movie will turn around and get decent. Maybe. Nah.

The ending is even more ridiculous. Eventually, the couple, after a heroic effort in fending of the aliens, get taken up into the mother ship with all the other humans. But then, the boyfriend's brain is magically very special, such that it glows a different colour. When an alien eats it or whatever, the alien is magically possessed by the boyfriend or it becomes the boyfriend. Then, it tries to defend his girlfriend from other aliens. -.- THE END.

What. A. Waste. Of. My. Life.

Pizza Hut's greatest concoction yet!

Pizza hut is having this new promotion happening right now, where they are selling a pizza that has 6 different types of cheese on it. Don't ask me the name of the cheeses, I just know it's awesomely awesome when it's melted together.

Oh man. Just thinking about it now, is making me drool a little. Super attractive, right?

Anyway, I didn't even know about it initially because in KL, whenever people think of pizza, they generally go for Domino's. Because it's usually more affordable for college students, with it's 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' gimmick.  My main reason is because the only pizza outlet in Kuching is Pizza Hut, so why not try something new?

Pizza Junction doesn't really count because... well, I'm not even sure if it's still standing at the moment. Last I heard, it wasn't fairing too well. And the pizzas aren't awesome whatsoever.

Just look at that! Isn't it enough to make you want to pick up the phone and order already?
It's awesomely awesomely good. Especially if it's fresh out of the oven. Surprisingly, it takes about 15-20 minutes just to prepare.

This is what mine looked like. And the smell was heavenly.

I just realized there're a lot of burnt marks on it.. Nevertheless, it was fantasticallyawesome! :)

As a result of this fantasticallyawesome meal, I come to realize that I, now share a burning passion for cheese.

The saltiness from the melted cheese blends perfectly with the sweetness from the pineapple. I ordered the cheesy lava with hawaiian chicken toppings.

A pizza with only the 6 types of cheese by itself, costs RM29.90 whereas by simply adding RM2, you get to add whatever toppings you want like chicken or pepperoni. It's so awesomely worth it!
(My judgement may be clouded but that's only because I've already sampled its greatness. :))

Sorry, domino's who? :)
