What is thin, flat & round? PANCAKE!!

I love pancake & now I feel like eating it!! Since there’s no pancake here at home, let’s blog about it instead!! Before that, do feast your eye on the picture below! NICE & TEMPTING!!

WHAT IS ‘PANCAKE’

A pancake is a thin, flat, round cake prepared from batter, and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Depending on the regions, pancakes may be served at any time of the day, with a variety of toppings such as jams, maple syrup, honey, chocolate syrup, chocolate chip, ice-cream, etc. … yummmmyyyy!!!

REGIONAL VARIETIES : DIFFERENT NAMES & TYPES OF PANCAKE

France : Crepes (Thin pancake usually served with sweet or savory filling)

Germany : Pfannkuchen, Kaiserschmarrn (A light, caramelized pancake that is split into pieces, filled with fruit and/or nuts, sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with a fruit sauce)

The Netherlands : Poffertjes, Pannenkoeken (usually eaten during dinner, it is slightly ticker than crepes and usually quite large. Filling can include sliced apple, cheese, ham, bacon, candied ginger, etc.)

Sweden : Scandinavian pancake, Pannkakor, Raggmunk, Aggakaka (also called eggcake, which is a lot thicker & difficult to make due to the risk of burning it)

Finland : Letty, Raiskale, Ohukainen, Lettu (usually eaten with whipped cream and/or jam)

Hungary – Palacsinta

India : Pooda, Dosa, Appam, Neer Dosa, Uttapam

Malaysia – Apam Balik (can be thin, thick, crispy, etc. Can get it at most ‘pasar malam’ @ night market. How do i know this? Because I AM MALAYSIAN! )

Actually there are more varieties of pancake, but can’t be writing about ALL of it so i will stop here for now! If you need a recipe for pancake, do visit any of the link below. ENJOY!

A new way to play tag – Laser Tag!!

Planning for a fun-filled activity but have no idea on what to do??? Head on to Galactic Laser, MidValley Megamall Kuala Lumpur to experience a new way to play ‘tag’! LASER TAG that is!!

What is it?

Laser tag is a team or individual sport. Players need to score points by engaging targets, using a hand-held infrared-emitting targeting device. To score points, basically all you have to do is to shoot at your opponent!! If you are worried that you don’t really know how to play this game, do not worry!! There will be a briefing by the staff before the game starts! & i really need to give some credit to the staff there since they are very helpful, entertaining & quite funny!!

I guess text alone won’t be much of help so here are some interesting photos!

 

 

 

 

 

Looks promising & tempting enough to you? By the way, there’s also a room for you to rent if you need to conduct a meeting or something before starting the game & there’s also a place for you to eat!! If you are planning to actually go there, below are some information to help you with!

• The 4 Best Craving-Killing Foods

“Dark chocolate: Just a small portion of this antioxidant-filled treat satisfies a sweet tooth.”

• 10 Habits of Skinny People

“Indulge in chocolate: Chocolate lovers rejoice!

LIGHT UP – New shopping experience to light up your world!

Have you ever been to a lighting shop and feels like you just want to go running out of the shop immediately? I do have that feeling because i will feel dizzy whenever i go to lighting shops!! Seeing all those light fittings being put and hung everywhere across the shop makes my brain stop functioning! and there’s also the fear that i might break something (once broken considered sold!).

However, the first time i went to Philips Brand Store, everything change! The experience of being in a lighting store is not as what it used to be. All the light fittings are properly organised and displayed, befitting consumer lifestyle and home environment. There’s even a separate switch for each of the fittings, so you can see how bright is that certain light fitting. You can actually go around the shops and play with all the switches, so you will have a hands-on interactive experience!

Philips Brand Store is actually themed into 3 key zones, which are inspire, explore and plan. Once you enter the store, you can actually get some inspiration by looking at the things that are prepared for the customer. Once you walk further into the shop, you will go into the explore zone, where you can explore all the products available. Later on, you will go into the plan zone where you can plan what product to put in your house, and where you want it to be. There’s even a consultant to help you with the planning. So, bringing a home plan to Philips Brand Store will be very helpful!!

If you are wondering how does this Philips Brand Store (lighting store) looks like, below are some photos of the store!
