How To Know If Car Air-Cond Gas Is Lesser

On my last visit to workshop to service my car, I learnt something new about car. After the mechanic done checking on my car, he told me that my car air-cond has lesser gas already and need to top up. I was quite skeptical about that. So the mechanic showed me how to know if the gas in car air cond has been lesser or not.

He started my car engine and let the air-cond running, after a few minutes there was some bubble forming up inside the small glass hole located at the engine compartment area. During the topping up of my car air-cond gas, it can be seen that the bubble forming was lesser and lesser until there was no bubble forming at all.

After few months, I checked again my car small glass hole indicator while the engine and air-cond are running. There was no bubble forming up and this indicate my car air-cond gas is still in the right amount and there was no leaking of gas from my car air-cond system.

The air-cond gas condition can be identified by looking at the small glass hole indicator located near to engine compartment area. The small glass hole is connected to air-cond system. When there is bubble forming inside the small glass hole while the air-cond is running after 5 mins-10mins, it means some of the air-cond gas has been disappeared. The more bubble is seen, means more air-cond gas has been disappeared. A car air-cond system that is good in condition and has good amount of gas will not have any bubble forming inside the glass hole during air-cond is running.

Free Cake From Starbucks

I was actually given a free cake by Starbucks. Why is that so? It is because this month of February is a month of birthday for me. As a cardholder for Starbucks card and I have registered the card, I was entitled a slice of cake for free after I bought a drink using the card during my birthday month. The free cake can redeemed anytime using the card within birthday month.

I was entitled to choose any 1 cake from the cakes available in the shop for free redemption. So I redeemed for myself a slice of marble cheesecake as I love to cheesecake a lot. The marble cheesecake was very yummy and it was a perfect match with a cup of cold creamy green tea frappuccino.

This Starbucks card has been very rewarding. It is great to own this Starbucks card. I have written a post on the benefits of Starbucks card previously and here goes the link: http://stylocoolblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/starbucks-card-and-apps.html

Food To Eat In Melaka

I and my friends went to Melaka on last month and we have visited quite a number of places within 3 days time. So I decided to make a blog post on the food that we have hunted successfully during the trip.

1) Coconut Shake @ Klebang

There are now many places in Melaka are selling coconut shake nowadays. But the most authentic coconut shake can be found at Klebang, Melaka. The shop is just next to Caltex Petrol Station and is some distance away from the new big hospital (Oriental Medical Center) on the left when coming from Melaka Raya direction. The coconut shake is super nice and refreshing to drink on this hot weather. The shop is always packed with customers every day especially on weekends.

Address:
Klebang Original Coconut Shake (Besides Caltex)
Jalan Klebang Besar,
75200 Melaka.


2) Chicken Rice Ball @ Batu Berendam

There is 1 shop at Batu Berendam selling chicken rice ball that is tasted much more better than other shops at Jonker. In this shop, the chicken is more tender and more juicy with the rice not too oily and not too dry. It is a perfect combination between the rice and the chicken. This shop name is "Huang Chang Chicken Rice Restaurant" and it is having a good management system. When reach the shop, just go directly to the counter to make order and pay, then they will deliver the food to the table.

Address: 
Huang Chang Chicken Rice Restaurant
BB-376 Taman Melaka Baru,
Batu Berendam,75350 Melaka.


3) Red Square @ Taman Melaka Raya

4) Pak Putra Tandoori & Naan Restaurant @ Kota Laksamana

The best tandoori and naan in town can be found in Pak Putra Tandoori & Naan Restaurant and it is located at Kota Laksamana. The location is very strategic as it is within the walking distance from the famous Jonker Street. This shop is always packed with customers.

5) Medan Selera @ Bukit Beruang

This Medan Selera is a food court located at Bukit Beruang near to MMU Melaka. The nice food available at here are the curry chicken rice and fried chicken. The prices of the food here are not expensive and is a good eating place for MMU students.

Address:
Medan Selera Bukit Beruang
Taman Bukit Melaka,
75450 Bukit Beruang, Melaka.


6) Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup @ Ong Kim Wee

Satay celup is similar to "lok lok". The difference in satay celup is the foods will be dipped into a hot boiling pot filled with the spicy satay sauce. There a few satay celup shops around Melaka. The most famous and with most people would be the Capitol Satay Celup but it is always hard to get place and wait for a super long queue. So the second best satay celup shop that can go is Ban Lee Siang which is also nice and having a lot of people but at least not need to queue so long.

Address:
Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup
Jalan Ong Kim Wee
75300 Melaka.


7) Cendol @ Jonker Street

That day we supposedly wanted to go Jonker 88 shop to eat Melaka cendol. But too bad, the shop already closed its operating hours by the time we reached Jonker. So we went to Sha Shu Gong shop to eat cendol instead. It is a big corner shop facing the Stadhuys. The cendol there is having a very nice packing but is too sweat and pricey. One of the best cendol in Melaka is still in Jonker 88 shop. It is located at the middle of jonker street.

Spotify Apps

A few friends have shared to me recently about this Spotify apps which can listen songs on smartphone. Finally, I have downloaded this Spotify apps into my smartphone on last week and experimented it. Spotify is a great innovation apps that provide users to listen songs on their smartphones through streaming at anytime, anywhere as long as the smartphones are connected to internet. Moreover, this apps is free of charge and provides all types of song from different artist. It is available for both Iphone and Android smartphones.

Spotify also provides a premium value added service with subscription fees of RM14.90 per month whereby this extra service provides the flexibility to users that prefer to download the songs into their smartphones and listen without streaming through internet. There is 1 month free trial period for this premium service.

Those who don't want to pay monthly subscription fees for the premium service, still able use it free for normal streaming. For me, the free service is already good enough to use.

Since installing this Spotify into my smartphone, I have been using it to listen songs from artists like Jay Chao, Hebe, Liang Wen Yin and JJ Lin.

Thumbs up for this app.

Mammamia Gelato Italiano

On last Sunday after having dinner in Quill City Mall, saw a newly opened ice cream shop and went in to check it out. This shop sells premium ice cream and has a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Regular size with 1 flavor is RM7.90 and regular size with 2 flavors is RM11.90. There is free testing of the ice cream before buy. I have tested a few flavors and finally chose 2 flavors, Strawberry and Yoghurt Milk for my ice cream. The regular cup was fully filled with ice cream of the 2 flavors that I have chosen and the price was RM11.90. The price was considerably reasonable for premium ice cream with 2 flavors and the quantity provided if compared to other premium ice cream shops. I am satisfied with the Strawberry and Yoghurt Milk flavors. Next time I should try some other flavors.

This shop do provide tables and chairs to chill out. One interesting thing about the tables in this shop is there are few USB ports available at the side of the table for customers to charge their smartphones. The USB port charging rate is super fast compared to a power bank charging rate. This extra charging service would definitely benefits customers who run out of battery in their smartphones.

This shop name is "Mammamia Gelato Italiano" and it is just besides Tappers Cafe at level 2 of Quill City Mall. This shop is worth to visit considering it has reasonable pricing, tasty premium ice cream, good customer service, cozy environment and the available USB ports for charging smartphones.

The address:
Level 2, Lot 2-03
Quill City Mall 
No.1018, Jalan Sultan Ismail

Beer From Hong Kong

There is one kind of beer that tasted quite different from the usual beer that are found in Malaysia. This special beer is called "Blue Ice Beer" which can be found in Hong Kong but not in Malaysia. What is so special about this beer? The moment I took the first sip of this beer, I was quite amazed by the taste of this beer. This beer tasted very smooth, refreshing, sweet and soothing to the throat.

Too bad this beer is not sell in Malaysia. In Hong Kong, this "Blue Ice Beer" is easily found in any convenient shop like 7-11, restautant and shopping malls. Those who are going to Hong Kong and want to drink beer, should try out this nice beer.
