The Hunt: Ikan Bakar

Last friday the usual swim&makan gang went for food hunting after a good swim in Bukit Jalil. And for this week's food review, we have the Ikan Bakar located at (soon to be update).

All the dishes looks basicly the same. Same sauce. Same bakarness look.

And here presenting the ikan pari and the sotong bakar.

We ordered the ikan keli too. And also a plate of ikan kembung.
Happy faces of Shah, KwanYee and Val~

All together we had 2 sotongs, 3 ikan keli, 1 pari and 1 kembung. Recommended dish is the ikan keli bakar. Taste better than the pari to us all. Hehe.

The votes:
Shah - 6.5/10
KwanYee - 6/10
Val - 6.5/10
Ashley - 6/10

China's Opps~

So 080808 is over~ And everyone had watched the Beijing Olyimpic opening ceremony. Awed by the technology, wow by the people and entertained by the atmosphere.

Then news started coming up about the ceremony. And here is one of the famous one:

Ahh yes. The tale about the sweet face little girl who lip sync the beautiful voice of a not so pretty face girl. Is it very surprising? Personally, don't think so. And I don't really blame China for doing this. For a picture perfect opening ceremony... which country wouldn't want that?

"oh... but they shouldn't do this. They're lying"

Is this the first time u've been lied? Tons of ads and magazines out there are heavily photoshopped to picture perfect. Not that I'm agreeing that China should do that but really... can they be blamed?

"That's different! The poor little girl hidden away just cause she wasn't born pretty face><"

God is fair with talents I guess. And the poor little girl would be the pretty face one. Now everyone will remember her as the Just-a-pretty-face-talentless girl! O_O While the other would get regconized for her inner talent and get loads of encouragements and and and.... I dunno. Adoration? Love?

Oh and one of the news source from a web even wrote out "... the US wouldnt do such a thing..."
But then...

Apparently a friend's friend in China found out the US keep shooting close up or not-so-flattering-angle of the fansy pansy performance. If you're watching on Astro, it's a little better. Coz it's from TVB itself. But otherwise there's alot of close up shot from the camera, focusing on a certain perfomer. Not zooming out much to let you admire the full beauty technology that China has or the pretty lightings.

Rumour has it that the US was jealous over the technology thing. (yeah, their technology is better and why they should be jealous. Hey, they jealous cause China catching up can or not?haha) And did you know one part of the ceremony, the top side part of the stadium has wordings of "welcome my friends"? and mandarin writings of the meaning 'welcoming everyone as friends to china'. (translated from a friend, I dunno mandarin ><) And rumour say the reason was US doesn't want them to welcome ...err..their people? I had no idea how true all this are.

"It's just rumours! There's no proof!"

What kind of proof is there for this kind of case? Well, I did seen the pictures of the better angle camera shooting. It's not shown on TV and it's reeeeeaaaally shows the beauty of the performance. And no, I don't have the pictures with me =_=

"Hah! That's not an answer! No proof is no proof! na~nana~na~naa~~"
*imaginary friend skiped away in Goldilock style*

Rumours will always be rumours... news will be news. But did the media manipulate the way you to think about this? Maybe China can't be totally blamed on this. They just wanna show to the world a (almost) picture perfect ceremony. I just hope nothing bad effects the two little girl =/
