Ugly Pokemons are Ugly

 Smithankyou     11/20/2014 11:43:00 AM     diary, game, Game Reviews, pokemon, random, rant     3 comments   
No thanks to the sister's bf I got lured back into the whole Pokemon world. I started playing pokemon when I was 16. I thought I was already too old for this but little did I guess that I am still doing it at the age of 30 but I must say Pokemon did a big big advancement over the years.

 What I played in the year 2000

What I am playing now in 2014

After 14 years of graphics and game play advancement with my favourite being the fact that you can actually trade pokemon online instead of what we did in year 2000 where we needed a silly cable to do it.

But I am going to tell you why Smith is not that happy. The newer pokemons are UGLY!

Dragon Pokemons are one of those that I really like. Being a Chinese, Dragons are cool and after watching GOT, Dragons got even cooler.

Dragon from my childhood (All images from http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/) Not exactly fierce looking but this is one of my favourite Pokemon.


Dragon from year 2014 Pokemon X


YOU CALL THIS A DRAGON?? THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING I DREW AFTER I HAD WHISKEYS. A LOT OF THEM!

Fighting Pokemon from my childhood - model after Bruce Lee


And this is the shit I saw the other day...

Wah Biang. What is this? What is this?

Legendary Pokemons are the coolest because there's only 1 per game and you need to play like X hours before you can catch one. And this is my favourite Legend because it looks like Dragonball's Frieza who is my favourite Villain of all time.


And even the new legendary pokemon looks like.. I don't even know what it looks like.


Seriously, did they like go out of budget and just ask a random kid to design all the pokemons? As much as I am very unhappy with the newer pokemons, I am still playing the game because I need to catch'em ALL!

And below are some other random Pokemon that I really dislike because they are ugly. There are a lot more but I do not want to spoilt your day as well.






P.S. Anyway, I haven't been very myself since the trip. I guess I'm having hangover. I am also too lazy to blog about my trip here since I am doing it on OMY's blog. Check it out there! http://blog.omy.sg/cebu-bohol-getaway/

I really like how we photobomb Mr.SeriouslyMan while he was working and we were just erm... Posing. LOL! 
Mr.Smith, I wanna be the very best!

Game Review + Tips - NBA2K15

 Smithankyou     10/16/2014 11:15:00 AM     game, Game Reviews, NBA, NBA2k15, ps4     1 comment   
13 days before NBA tipoff but NBA fever has already hit me hard! My life is basically

Eat. NBA. Sleep. Repeat. I actually missed gym last night because of the game! ROAR!

As a Lakers fan, I'm happy I traded for Davis, Gasol and Durant. Yes! FACIAL! EAT THIS HOWARD!
Besides the fact that I really love NBA and NBA2k15, there are some things about this game which really pissed me off when I first started playing it. I break it down a little here.

Review

The Good 

Graphics - The last game I played was NBA2k14 on the PS3 so the PS4 graphics is a big jump for me. I love how the Jersey moves around when the players run!

Movement - The movement of the players are getting more and more realistic. Shake and Bake, post up. SMOOOOTH!

MyTeam - I really love the MyTeam game mode. MyTeam allows you to play through the game facing off different teams and doing different challenges. You can play a normal league game and create a dream team but it's just not as addictive as winning the cards. I guess being a CCG player really got me addicted with this game mode. Buying, and selling it off the auction house adds so much life to the game. Usually I will only play the MyPlayer and the normal league mode but this just blows me away. It's not exactly a new mode but this mode is way more smoother as compared to the previous instalment.

MyPlayer - Instead of playing through a player that gets drafted like the few previous game, you actually get to play a life of someone who didn't get drafted at all. Your agent (Jerry Maguire) will try his best to land you in a team with a start of 10 days contract. Stay alive kid! It's an interesting new storyline!

Sharing - This ain't exactly the game, it is more PS4 but I have to say this, THE SHARING FUNCTION IS FUCKING AWESOMEEEE!!! Print screens and Video! W000t!

The Bad 

Server - The server is a mess. Unbelievable bad. I had a pre-order bonus pack which I didn't managed claim until almost a week into the game which actually wasted me a lot of time. I will touch on this on the "tips" segment.

Playstation Plus - I guess this is more of a Playstation direction kinda thing. Online games now requires you to sign-up with Playstation Plus before you can play it. You can't play a few game modes unless you sign up for this and pays a monthly subscription fee.

AI - The AI in this game sucks. I am not too sure if fiddling with the playbook will help much because it doesn't seems like it did for me. Pick and Roll makes thing very easy for the opponent as switching of your AI teammates are very badly programmed. They hardly boxout, crash board and they just allows the opponent's backcourt to run pass the paint easily.

MyPark - To be honest.. I still have no idea where is MyPark game home and what is it. I can't find it, I can't connect to it but I am not really complaining now since MyTeam is keeping me entertained.


Post by Smith Leong.

Here's a video of me stealing a ball and making a random 3 point! 

Tips

Pre-order pack

If you have a pre-order pack, always redeem it. You will be given a few overseas players to select from and add to MyTeam. Players includes Dirk, Rookie Durant, Parker, Manu and etc. 

Image from YouTube screen shot 
Early game in the MyTeam mode can be pretty much a pain in the ass as you are only given a bunch of common cards, (Players with low stats) and a Uncommon card and you are put up to face some really tough guys. So getting a boast with this pre-order player will really help. Choice was pretty easy for me and I went with Dirk as front court is a very big problem in this game as mentioned earlier.

MyTeam Game Mode 

Within MyTeam, there are a few ways to play. Domination and Challenge are readily available without the need to sign up for Playstation Plus unlike the Playoffs and "Play with Friends" mode. I got mislead by the game that the Challenge mode is the easier mode because the very 1st game you will be asked to complete is the challenge game mode but the domination mode is actually the easier game mode to both earn some MT Credits as well as additional bonus packs. I actually wasted so much time losing at the challenges and losing "contracts". Each players have certain contract which can be refilled using contract cards. Contract cards comes in Gold, Silver and Bronze as well. +5, +4 and +3 games respectively and is usually obtainable in each pack. So do not worry that your favourite player will run out of contract and be unplayable because you will always get some contract cards. Save your credits, do not buy contracts card from the Auction house. 

Sell unwanted players and be patient at the Auction House 

One of the best thing about this MyTeam game mode is the Auction house. You can use two types of credits, MT credits and VC credits. VC can be purchased over at the Playstation store, earned from MyLeague, MyPlayer, MyGM and even mobile app where else MT credits can only be earned via MT game mode. You will need some good players to help you to win the game and opening random packs over and over might not be the best thing to do with the MT Credits. The random packs can be purchased using both MT and VC Credits but you can only spend MT at the auction house. You know what I mean, save MT for auction house. 

Collecting players and items might be fun but it might not be the best thing to do early game. Selling players you do not need to earn credits and buy a better player is totally worth it as it helps you earn more credits. I sold away a bunch of common and uncommon players and bought a cheap rare card and it totally changed the game! 

Auction house cards can be pretty much over priced as everyone wanna earn those MT credits so always be patient and look for a card for the best priced. I got Paul Pierce at 5000 MT which I thought it's pretty cheap and it totally changed my game. 

Once you have 1 or 2 decent players you can start to keep some of those common and uncommon players and try to collect more cards.

Take Jump Shots

The new NBA game comes with a new jump shot bar as compared to the previous game and turning it on makes thing way easier. Going to the basket is not exactly the easiest thing to do in the game and neither is passing into the lay. You will stack up too many turnovers before you know it. Take those jump shots. Which also means if you are going to spend your MT credits, spend it on a good mid range shooter. 

Download the Mobile App 


The mobile app game might not be the most fun but it gives you daily VC Credits. Daily lucky pick credits which is pure luck and also daily game credits up to 500.  

Conclusion

I hope this review gives you some insights about the game and can help you better plan and spend your MT, VC and also time. 

All in all I will rate this game 7/10. I really hope they can solve the server and AI issues in the next game. 

I might be wrong about somethings and you might have some other insights to share too. Feel free to comment, send me an email or drop me a tweet at @Smithankyou 

Mr.Smith, YAKEEM!!!

Back To Hell - Diablo 3 on PS3.

 Smithankyou     9/17/2013 05:01:00 PM     diablo3, game, Game Reviews, geek, hell, ps3, StickySmith, video game     No comments   
What have I been doing at home these days other than watching Breaking Bad?


I went to HELL.. AGAIN..

Despite spending hundred and hundreds of hours on Diablo 3 on the PC, I am doing it again on the console.

The Good: 
  • You can play offline
  • You can share screen with 4 other friends
  • You have this Evade button which put the game to a whole new level. It's almost like playing a new game. It's not so level and item dependent as the PC version. You evade and roll around and beat it like how you would on Mega Man. 
I believe this is the thing many wish to find out.
  • IT'S RAINING LEGENDARY ITEMS!!! (I probably have an answer for this.)
The Bad:

  • There is no auction house. So you don't actually get to buy items and money seems secondary. Which is probably the reason why legendary items are easy obtained in single player mode. 
  • There is no PVP mode.
  • The long mins of waiting for your friends to change their gears or choose skill on the same screen. It's really time wasting especially when you are starting a new game together with 3 others. 
  • The social element of it is very weak. Cause adding any new friends on the PS3 is simply adding them onto my PS3 account and not the Diablo 3 account. I wouldn't want to mix my PS3 friends with my Diablo 3 friends. and not everyone is on this game as compared to a year ago on the PC.  
And why am I still playing it? Comon, it's Diablo 3. You have no idea how many man hours I spend playing the same thing over and over again for Diablo 2. It's a classic!

Mr.Smith, for once, going to hell seems like a good thing.

Ragnarok Online 2 GIVEAWAY!

 Smithankyou     1/15/2013 10:03:00 AM     Game Reviews, giveaway, sponsored post     7 comments   
I still remember the good old school days where I spent so much time online with my buddy Keong and my then gf now wife on Ragnarok Online 1. We have played a lot of online games but RO1 was one that sticks and we spent the most time on. The whole party play really got us bonded. In fact I believe that was the game that I got my little sister started as a gamer!

 

And now guess what? The hottest blockbuster online game Ragnarok Online 2 is now available to play at http://www.PlayRO2.com/! 

It's back and it's better! 



Game Story:
Goddess of Destruction, Freyja and her 12 Valkyries started the ‘Day of Despair’ cataclysm. God Odin’s son Baldur, reincarnated as Chaos, bravely fought alongside his friends to protect the Midgard from Goddess Freyja. He finally succeeded in imprisoning her in the netherworld called ‘Vanaheim’.
After centuries of peace, a religious fanatic group following Goddess Freyja emerged all over the Rune-Midgards Kingdom and brought peril. By the orders of King Reinhard, the Prontera Knights lashed out against the Freyjanity and rescued kidnapped children from the fanatics.
These children were implanted with powerful fragments known as the Heart of Ymir during captivity.
Will these children bring peace and order to the Midgard continent? Or perhaps there’s a sinister plot that has yet to be uncovered? 

One major difference between the RO1 and RO2 would be the graphics, good bye to cutesy graphics and welcome major 3D revamp (Shown in video). Actually that's what that I missed the most. Don't you think the RO1 graphics is really too cute and that's really makes a major difference between other games? 
I lost all my own screen cap and this is from http://rostory.org/lishall/
  One of my favorite element has to be pet catching and this is my favorite cause it's the strongest! Baphomet Jr! 

One thing that didn't change much in the RO2 has to be the card system! 
When i say it didn't change I mean it is still there but it is improved and better! Still remember the days that we spent hours and hours in a team trying to hunt for the Vitata card for my mage so I could heal myself as well.

I haven't been able to spent enough time gaming but I am sure this is worth playing and I can't wait to spend more time on the game!

Not only am I sharing this awesome game, but I have somethings to giveaway to fella RO2 fans too! The giveaway includes the following prizes!

1 x Poring Cushion Plushie
1 x Poring plushie keychain
1 x poring Dust cap
1 x RO2 iPhone buttons.
1 x Calendar Poster.
Poring is sooo cute!

Question: Name me one of the 5 main job (1st class) available in RO2 ! (Yes, the answer is not from this post! You would know if you are playing this or a real fan no?)

In your comment and/or E-mail, please include your name, contact number and E-mail address so I could get back to you! This giveaway starts right away and ends at 31st Jan 2013 2359hrs. (*P.S: Giveaway is only available to address within Singapore.)

I used to blog more until I got an arrow in my knee.

 Smithankyou     1/10/2012 12:40:00 PM     Game Reviews, meme     No comments   
Happy New Year Everybody! It has already been 9 days into 2012 and this is actually my first post of the year! So what happened? Yes, I used to blog more until I got an arrow in my knee. If you have yet to read this meme - Where the hell have you been? If you have been seeing this meme but no clue what is happening, I am going to share with you. This meme happened thanks to our 2011 game of the year - Skyrim. So many of their NPC will just tell you random things like " I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee."



True Story.

Anyway, so yup. I got wrapped into Skyrim too, thus I blog a little less. In fact I am half way in my game while I am typing this post. So what is Skyrim about? It is like a mmorpg but you do not get the MMO part. Just another RPG? It's an open map RPG which means you have a choice of you own legacy, there are certain quest that are not needed and there are random people you can just slash and yes dragons too. So if you are familiar with other games, I would say that this is pretty much like GTA set in a different universe and you try to kill dragons instead of helicopters.

Anyway an interesting review from gamespot.



And yes, it is the 5th installment of the elder scrolls. So what about the other games before this? Check out the bluffer's guide!



If you ask me what is so fun about this is that the story is actually very interactive and you just wish to seek the answer to each stories and on top of that it is not difficult to play at all. Each quest is being monitor with the help of journals and maps so even though you have 809670512893124 quest to do it ain't that difficult to keep track. And the irritating part about this game? Traveling around from mountains to another is really a pain? You hardly know which way leads to which mountain at times! And like mentioned in one of the review videos, your AI partner can be very much an idiot at times. almost all the time.

On top of these points, the lack of online version of this game is both a plus point as well as a minus for me. I love the fact that I could play anytime I wish without finding irritating online players or the need to find friends to complete certain quest, but that being said it also means that we are not able to trade items or complete quests together. Overall this game is really an addiction and I read that there are people who spent like 300hrs on a single character? WTF?

I suggest you pick up this game if you are a gamer. It's on Xbox360, PS3 and even PC. It ain't the game of the year for nothing!

Mr.Smith, OUCH~ MY KNEE~

#TinyTower

 Smithankyou     8/12/2011 10:18:00 AM     Game Reviews, iPad, iPhone, Tiny Tower     No comments   
I was pretty hooked onto the game Tiny Tower on iPhone / iPad for awhile. I played like too many hours on the first day but I soon got bored about it and it slowed down by like really a lot.  It's like one of those Sims game. In fact it is a Sims game. We could have called it Sims Lift or something. You earn money, send people up and down the building. It's kinda silly but yet addictive. Something kept me going on and on and it was because i wanted to have this setting !


Look !! My own WADDUP BUILDING ! How I would love my company to develop into. Having an in house props fabrication, doing our own media filming and a full creative level.  And look at the guy on level 4. That's Me !! I would prefer a red cap but I couldn't get the right color so I decided to do some photoshop. HAHA 

Red Cap is more Me !


Mr.Smith, very serious when it comes to gaming and customizing stuff

After Experience - Dragon Age

 Smithankyou     2/13/2010 06:37:00 PM     dragon age, Game Reviews, uncharted 2     2 comments   
Following up on the previous post -

1st Experience - PS3: Dragon Age


Nevertheless this game still rocks my world but there is this thing in the game which really turns me off.

- Keep your hands to yourself.

I spend hours playing the same area because I just do not keep my hands to myself. Every time I touch something as it looks suspicious, I will get involve with a fight which I regret my ass off. Touching a tree, touching an urn or touching a tombstone cause me to summon some unknown characters which I could have just walk pass which did not happen as I always get myself killed in such ugly battles.

Being a gamer it's our natural instinct to explore around and touch unknown items but getting us killed multiple times and having to walk pass the same area again and again ain't what I like. Or perhaps it's just me being unlucky or unskilled but the slow pace of hacking turns me off after playing for too long an hour and all I wish for is to know what is going to happen next to the story. ( I guess that's the negative part of having too good a storyline. ) Ah yes, I am the impatient gamer.

I am giving this game a break while I got started on a gift from BR Man, Uncharted 2. How's the game ? It's another tale for another time. = )

1st Experience - PS3: Dragon Age

 Smithankyou     1/26/2010 12:45:00 PM     dragon age, Game Previews, Game Reviews, ps3, Video     1 comment   

This game was launch last Nov but I have yet to get my hands on it until yesterday.

It has been sometime since I last do a game review and at 2nd thought I would like to do this review in two parts. 1st Experience - which is the following post of how I look at it after 1hrs of playing with it last night. Full Review - which will be a post after I finish or at least explore most of the game play.

1st Experience -

Dragon Age - The idea this game gave me before even loading the disc was a simple - "Diablo 2 " mood. Typically running around hacking and slashing some mob along the story line and pumping some stats points. I wasn't totally right but neither am I wrong. I was totally blown away by the fact that after choosing a gender or class ( Human, Elf and Dwarf) I wish to be, I even get to choose it's background story.

Choosing the background story - what does it means to you ? It means I can be a Dwarf, I can start of as a royalty or a cast-less kinda Dwarf and that also means high re playability and multiple storyline to me.

It's not just "Diablo 2" after all.

The Good -

It's not normal for me to fall in love with a game which 1 spent 1 hr on and only had 3 less than a minute battle game but I actually did fall in love with Dragon Age. There is lots of decision to make in conversation. You can choose your own way of talking to your teammates/NPC and that set me wondering if that will bring me to a different ending.

Nothing much amazing about the graphics as of now but I just can't get my mind off the game as I wonder what will happen to "me" next. I ended my game at a point where I got caught in jail by the person I tried to betray. Each and everyone of the characters I have meet so far made an impression to me, the characters are so well crafted. To me it's really the story which keeps me wanting to follow it as the storyline is totally interactive and it feels like I am in the game and not just following through another main character's life such as Devil May Cry or God of War.


The Bad -

The only thing which gave me quite a shock was the idea of not having online playing possibilities as it would have sounded more fun as it actually seems like a MMORPG possible game, but at 2nd thought i felt that this format of moving through as a single character makes more sense. We can't be all online and spent time talking to different characters online all the time.

Probably the handling will be quite a problem as it's limitation on the ps3 control game pad. I would suggest readers to go for the PC version if your PC can handle the game.

Conclusion -

This game really give me a very special experience as of now and I just can't wait to finish at least 1 story line and give a full review. The game is totally worth the $40 I paid for (pre-owned copy) or get your 1st hand copy at any major game store at $59 +- . Don't bother waiting for me to sell off mine as a 2nd hand as I suppose I will spend quite a fair bit of time with all these possibilities installed ahead for me.

Below is a video of the full review from gamespot if you can wait for me to give a full review. Enjoy !

A Diary of An Addiction Addict..

 Smithankyou     9/19/2009 12:04:00 PM     fieldrunners, Game Reviews, ipod, SMITH, Thoughts     No comments   
I'm pretty sure we all heard or watch or read one way or the other about the diary of sex addict, drug addict, shopping addict aka shopaholic but you guys ever heard about any addiction addict ?

Not too sure if that's something unique or new but i guess that's pretty much me !

I am like the man with X numbers of hobbies and I am an addict of everything.

Once i am into something i am so into it i can do anything about it and read up about it and oh.. when I mean i am an addiction addict i get myself addict to dropping hobbies pretty easily too !

List of things I say I am addicted to

1. Woman
2. Tits ( still about woman..not into moobs)
3. Thongs, G-string ( making me sounds like a pervert actually)
4. Toys ( Transformers, Dragonball, Starwars, Boardgame.. anything really..)
5. Movies ( I watch them, I will download the movie poster, buy the product..of course it only applies to good movies)
6. Gadgets (PSP, NDSL, IPOD, Phones, PS3, Computer..)
7. Work ( yeah.. u got that rite.. i am @ work now)
8. Music
9. Art
10. Shopping
11. Food
12. Basketball
13. Inline Skating
14. Beaching
15. Bitching
16. Wing Chung
17. Tv Drama
18. Coffee
19. Alcohol
20. Mambo
21. Online Social Network Fun ( Twitter, Plurk, Facebook, Blog)
22. Cursing ( nccb, fcuk, more more more)
23. Porn viewing
24. Talking.. ( i just dun stop)
25. Magic the gathering !!
26. Bikinis
27. Meeting new pple making new friends
28. My Niece
29. Ice Cream
30. Candy
31. Photochips
32. Texas hold em
33. digging my nose
34. shit'in every morning
35. Rap
36. Photography
37. Video
38. Imagine
39. Thinking
40. Architecture viewing..


Almost any other little thing can be in my spectrum or radar of interest..

I can't think of what else but i guess there should be more actually...

Is it only me? or is it everyone that have that amount of hobbies??

And my lastest addiction - Ipod Touch Games


Field Runner !!




This game seriously kick ass and I thank Donald for the introduction..

This game is actually number no.9 game of the year on TIME magazine and is going to get port over to PSP soon !! ( but god knows how soon is soon.. duh ! ) But the thought of using a control and not touch screen to play this game is pretty much a turn off !! = (

It is a typical Tower defense kinda game but it's just that addictive and it can even go on endless mode ( which doesn't concern me cause i keep dying !! ).

The control is smooth, graphics is sweet and the sound effect is pretty interesting too.. but damm it! you can,t get your mp3 to be playing while this game is started..( I hate games like this on the Ipod..)

You can do a search on youtube and there's quite a handful of videos on the game actually.. some of the players are realy sick !!

This game cost you $2.99 USD but it's seriously worth it ! a 5 star game lah !!!

Mr.Smith, Am I Normal ??

"我就是我行我素 我沒有風度 我只有態度 你說我太酷"

Foreplay: w00t.. lousy game purchase.. lousy game exchange.. kudos to Tampines Mall's new Game Shop allowing me to exchange my mistake purchase at full value on the next day.. brought it back to kelvin and was telling him that it's a mistake purchase as i didn't know it's 3rd person kinda game and not 1st person which i preferred.. and he let me change for the game "Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel" a game kinda like Diablo 2.. so far so nice !!

Dumdum and I went to Ion to pre-celebrate her birthday and our anniversary.. and as usual.. i am caught up with work when i am suppose to meet her and i was like late for an hour... really very soooory but dumdum still greeted me with a smile.. heehee.. thx dumdum.. ( Sidenote : Met Kath for lunch this afternoon and I was late for around 40mins too !! but she too was very nice and nv blame me de hor! thx Kath !! )

Anyway.. where did we go and what happen ?? Let the picture do the talking !! Hit it with the Pictures !!

*pause blogging for a moment.. photo still uploading.. damm the blardy morakat or marokat or wadever it is known as.. seriously caused alot of trouble to the internet at work..and now my pictures are uploading so slowly.. pffff..

** go get a drink... brb...

*** What.. still not done.. !@^$!*^@%&*!@

**** Sidenote.. tomorrow is PoMoSounds again..time really flies and this is already the 3rd PoMosounds i am hosting man.. 3 PoMosounds meaning it's already 6 weeks !! so far working @ PoMo is very enjoyable and i sure hope i didn't bring any trouble to anyone @ PoMo..

***** After typing so much...blardy pics still uploading..anyway..let me talk alittle more about PoMo.. PoMo previously known as Paradiz Centre was transform into PoMo last Dec and instead of the old Kbox and Singaporepools we now have very interested mix of tenant.. from dancing to boxing to even music schools.. not to forget long time partner a makeup school and of course lots of FnB.. from the popular Japanese food court Ishi Mura to world wide sandwich brand Subway..and local popular Killiney,Mad Jack.. HeyHey Hotpot by celebrity Terence Cao.. oh.. yes yes.. and we have this jamming studio.. music ensemble.. cool stuff man.. oh.. and where i got my hair done up.. DA Hair Dressing..I must agree.. not the best place to window shop but nevertheless.. this place rocks ur world if u need a new life.. haha.. 45 more %.... pfffff....

****** Clicks gutteruncensored.. boring.. booo....20 more %..

damm it sia..stuck at 99% for so long.. bad feeling..

The best of the 3..

Typical ads..



Overview.. Damage - $26.80



Fried Wanton - Damage - $6.80 ( I think.. )



EAT AH!!



I ish watching u !!



Ah Dumdum's porridge.. $3..



I just like this picture..



My plain rice.. $1.50.. this is the only part which pissed me off @ Canto I.. i ordered so many things and i assume.. i say i assume, plain rice is the easiest to get.. but it was the slowest to reach and it only reach after i complain to THREE different person.. and it was like at least half and hours before it was serve and i did show unhappiness BUT manager did not apologise and neither did they offer any kind of waiver or anything.. all they did was " i will check.." and "here is ur rice" Is it because i didnt order enough ? is it because i am not weldress for ur high class restaurant ? or is it because i am not a regular ? turn off bad service..



oh no.. last pcs liao !!



I really wish we have more..



ALL GONE !!

And A little video for all..



Incase u all miss what happen in Hong Kong.. ( Which i didn't upload the other time.. was too lazy.. i only share to those that i met..)





now Laugh !!

so overall..

Price : 2.5/5 - Really Expensive if u ask me.. total damage for 2 is $50.1 main dish, 1 side, 1 plain rice 1 plain porridge and 1 milk tea.. sexpensive !

Ambience : 4/5 - seats are good.. we even sat there for a chat after the meal..the design feeds the nice and classy but still a touch of HK but music was bad.. old chinese song.. shld play some HK songs or background music is enough..

Food : 5/5 - very nice.. from rice to porridge to the meat we ordered.. thumbs up

Service : 2/5 - staff unsure of which order is for which table.. slow service.. floor manager looks rather unhappy to serve and overall short handed..

Will I Visit Again ? - Yes for sure.. but maybe only on special ocassions..

And before i sign off.. this two pics is for Liping.. ( Since we are on the theme of the good old days )






Mr.Smith, Hong Kong blood is always in me.. no time for Hong Kong.. Hong Kong food is good enough to satisfy me !
