Through Gary, I managed to get in touch with Satkuru. After some discussions, we decided to meet up for lunch at Equine Park on the following day. Since we were planned to meet up, I asked him to get William Leong to join us as well, since I wanted to meet him for quite some time too.

Satkuru, a blogger whose blog I read very often and randomly. He has been pinging Project Petaling Street and that was how I got to know his existence in blogsphere. Moreover, the fact that he knows most of my ex-classmates did intrigued me. As for William Leong, a featured blogger for Nuffnang, we have chatted a few times on IMs and I, too, occasionally read his blog.

They suggested the famous chicken rice at Equine Park, which I never heard of until that faithful day. Tim Kei chicken rice shop. They also sell mixed rice, char siew and siew yuk too!

Apparently, they were featured in many magazines, TV shows and even Hong Kong celebrities paid them a visit.

The usual sauces like dark soy sauce, soy sauce and home made chilies are already placed on the table. The chilies tasted superb, just like how my late grandmother used to make them. Fragrant and tasty, thick and spicy, the real chicken rice chili sauce. At other places, you get the superbly diluted version, where you taste sourness more than spiciness itself.

The rice didn’t taste like chicken rice at all. It didn’t have the strong chicken rice flavour and aroma. The restaurant calls the rice as yellow ginger rice (loosely translated).

Being the greedy ones, Ah Kit and I ordered their steamed chicken, roasted chicken, char siew and siew yuk. Heh!

The siew yuk was really nice, crunchy and juicy but not the case for their char siew, which tasted like a really thick piece of plastic toy food.

As for the roasted chicken, it was nothing close to their steamed chicken. The meat in the steamed chicken was much more tender and softer compared to its counterpart. Unlike the chickens in Malacca’s chicken rice ball shops. the meat were more chewy and had a firmer texture. It was a little dry but still delicious.

Not too bad, for my standard actually. Maybe I will return for more, just maybe.

One for the album, say cheese!

Congratulations to Ah Kwong and Myin. Yes, I had to take bus to KL just to attend his wedding, which was held on a rather odd day, Friday. Haha! There were too many dSLRs and it sort of washed away my mood for attempting my first wedding photography.

I was standing at the newsstand waiting for a friend to pick me up when I chanced upon the word BlogMobbers. Not hesitating a single bit, I grabbed the copy and flipped through the magazine, looking out for the write up about the event that 15 bloggers and I took part in.

There, I was!

Allow me to hao lian 好恋, can or not?

Instead of coming up with some plans, we made full used with what we have and our team members’ ability to come up with something really unique and out of the blue.

Sunny and Sid to bake the cute little dolls. Joe to get Hannah Tan to endorse our group; Cedric for the awesome photoshopping skills; Hwei Ming for the photography; Timothy for the guidance and advices; and Joshua for all the inputs and ideas. Me? I contributed something, at least, something.

Now, introducing our Group G’s miniaturized creatures in a short story!

Again, Mister Potato is organizing a competition where anyone can win a trip to Old Trafford, the home stadium of EPL 2007 / 2008 champion Manchester United, by collecting Mister Potato empty packets or paper seals.

To show my support for the competition, I headed out and got myself a bagful of Mister Potato products.

Well, of course I got the two most important prodcuts, the limited edition Mister Potato packet and canister pack. I have two seals already, what about you?

Have you bought your Mister Potato yet? You wouldn’t want to miss out this chance to visit Old Trafford for free, right? Visit Mister Potato home page now!

I know, my group could be the last group out of the eight to post about Project Trafford, a secret project initiated by our beloved Asia’s first blog advertising company, Nuffnang. After possibly reading 35 entries on Project Trafford, I am sure you have pretty much a good idea about what’s going on, but that’s not going to stop me from writing about it.

Introducing my group mates,

team leader #1, klubbkidd.blogdrive.com,

team leader #2, timothytiah.blogspot.com,

team member #1, joshuaongys.blogspot.com,

team member #2, bigboysoven.blogspot.com,

team member #3, hweiming.blogspot.com,

team member #4, goodboygonebad.com,

and last but not least, team member #5, myself.

To give us the extra edge, we even managed to get Hannah Tan as our guest member. Yes, the smoking hot Hannah Tan.

Looking at the list, there are seven guys and a girl, which makes the Snow White and Seven Dwarfs team!

The objective of Project Trafford is actually a collaboration between Nuffnang and Mister Potato to enlist the help of 40 bloggers to come up with eight different ideas on how to promote a certain contest and / or win the current on-going contest.

Generally, it would be the advertisers who would enlist professional marketing and advertising agencies to do the job or come up with a marketing plan. However, Nuffnang is able to persuade the people in Mister Potato to take the bold move and enlist the bloggers’ help to come up with new, great and fresh ideas to promote the current or even the upcoming contest. In other words, a marketing plan by customers, for customers and together with customers.

The contest, is to collect as many as possible red canister paper seals from 160g Mister Potato canister and / or empty packets of the 85g or 55g pack. The grand prize? A whopping 30 tickets to Old Trafford, stadium and home ground of the EPL 2007 / 2008 champion Manchester United, to be given away to the top 30 highest collectors. That prize itself is already worth RM15,000. To top if off, the top three would be walking home RM5,000 richer! Now, as far as I know, this could probably be the first contest to send their winners to an English football club home ground all the way in UK.

Now, stay tune to read our plans on how to win the 30 tickets as a group and promote Mister Potato products.
