Stokers Pancake

Do you know about Stokers ? It's a pancake restaurant up in Heidelberg. Some people told me that it was a really nice place. They've got nice pancakes but a creepy toilet, that's what they told me.

Today, I tried it for myself and I can tell you, the toilet IS creepy. It's more like the walk to the toilet that is creepy not the toilet itself. The place is really...really...dark. The whole room is only powered by a few lights (2 or 3) except the kitchen.

They basically got 2 types of pancakes, the savoury one and the sweet ones. Average pancake price is around $9-$11. They've got a lot of different menus but none really catches my attention except chicken mornay and rum banana.

Anyways, I tried it and the portion was REALLY small for 10 bucks. And it's not even pancakes, it's more like crepes cause it's so thin. It's really nothing compared to Pancake Parlour. I think it's not really worthed to eat there. If you have a spare 10 bucks to spend on 2 small crepes with fillings then go ahead. The chicken mornay was not bad. Really think that they should do something with their price.

I still think Pancake Parlour has an advantage for pancakes. The pancakes there are delicious BUT you cannot eat too many of them. Pancakes are one of those things that make you full really fast.

Just have a look at THAT.


Watch that drool....., but realistically, you could only eat about this much.


Well, stop licking at your monitor already.

let's talk about love

Somebody on my MSN list has the following as his nick, Two words a guy never want to hear: JUST FRIENDS or I love you....like a brother.

Is that true guys ? Interesting isn't it ? So girls, I think you should find a better things to say if you want to reject guys...hehehe.

new nam loong

If you're a resident of Melbourne, you would know the restaurant Nam Loong. It's a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown that was hit with a few scandal a few years ago. It was something that they used in their cooking, a special recipe (hehehe....). However, let's not look and dig up the past. The fact is now Nam Loong is cleaner than ever and their food is still freat (especially the buns).

Nam Loong has opened a new branch after successfully opening Nam Loong 1 (original) and Wing Loong (Nam Loong 2). The new restaurant is called Nam Loong Seafood Restaurant. I haven't tried it personnally so I don't know what's on the menu but I think it'll be more of a dish type.

It's located in the same street as Nam Loong 1, Russel St. I think it's next to the Amusement or Asian Grocery there.

Anyway, it's worth a look at and give it a go.

good on ya iinet

Wuhuuuu...finally my exchange is going to be DSLAM enabled soon. Estimate is second quarter of 2006, then I can experience lightning fast broadband up to 24000 kpbs.

I highly recommend iinet and not because I'm using it. Because it's the best deal there is for internet (broadband).

The bad thing about iinet is you've got to connect your home phone with them and their rate is quite high (I think it's $29.95 + $3.41, the $3.41 is because of that bloody Tesltra). But then again, you could get a VOIP from them. VOIP is basically telephone using the internet instead of a normal phone line. Because it's using the internet, they can significantly reduce the cost.
So just use your VOIP, it's 10c per call.

PLUS, if you actually in the DSLAM area, your internet speed will be 24000 kpbs (depending on how far you are from the exchange). Ok, with that speed your download speed will be around 2.4 MB/s....FULLY SICK. Ok, reality is you will not get a speed that fast but it's still a good deal.

I'm not trying to promote iinet, just want to share my happiness that my exchange will soon be DSLAM enabled, that means I can enjoy FAST broadband. Huhuiiii.

For more info on internet provider in Australia, check Whirlpool. It's a good website to compare providers and while you're at it check the forum, see what other people think and what problems do they have.

dancing with the stars

You should all know about dancing with the stars, the TV show where celebrity dances and try impress the judges and audiences at the same time.

Well, for this season (2006), the Australian version of the show will put some of the best celebrity, including former Miss Universe, Jennifer Hawkins. YEAH!!!

Other names that will be on the show, includes

• Alicia Molik - Australian tennis superstar (I think she's suppose to be injured that's why she didn't go for Australian Open 2006)

• Simone Warne - Shane Warne's ex wife (the cricketer who has been involved with a lot of SMS scandal)

• Molly Meldrum - Australian icon (the man who lives in a cowboy world of his own)

• Kostya Tszyu - Australian boxer (I hope he doesn't punch his dance partner outside the ring...I mean, dance floor)
• Kate Langbroek - Australian radio presenter (I think she does morning show with Nova FM in Melbourne)

Well, if you want to bet on them, the current favourite is Jen, with $3.50...hehehe. I think she'll win. She's just gorgeous.......ok stop drooling guys...hehehe. Will it be worth a watch now ?

another CRAZY stuff

TWO GIRLS, 14 years old, have been charged with the murder of a cabbie (taxi driver) that happened a few days ago. For you guys who doesn't know about the story, here is how it goes. A taxi driver has been bashed and was left to die in the early morning. He was left on a street and finally died during the journey to hospital.

And now, 2 girls are charged with the murder. AMAZING yet again. What sick person will do such a thing ? Remember, we're talking about Sydney here. I expect the people there to be more civilised and educated. Yet, the behaviour of some people are worse than they who are in a third world country.

What were the girls thinking ? I don't think they should be tried in a children's court. I think they should be tried in adult's court. Prison for at least a few decades won't be enough.

I really don't understand what is going on their mind. SICK, truly sick.

ridiculous

AMAZING. Australia continues to amuse me. A man, 45 years old, has been charged for ASSAULTING a KITTEN. Can you believe that ? A kitten. Read the full news here.

I am no cat-lover so I don't really agree with the charge. Cats can sometime be quite annoying and frustrating. I don't know why people like cats. I am more of a dog-lover. I think cats are quite self-centered and selfish, whereas a dog is more loyal, obidient and fun (this may or may not include such breed as american pit bull, etc).

I just don't understand how the law works here. A man who bashed his wife and daugther (nearly killed the daugther by choking her with a cable, imagine that?) can be released on bail. WTF ? How is that possible ? And don't tell me that it is the law. That's stupid. The man could just go to the wife and kill her. And then what ? The man gets 20 years behind bars ? But the bloody wife is DEAD.

It's strange how laws are written. I think somebody should re-write the law book in a programming language, in if...then....else....statement. So it will be simple. IF a person robs your house THEN he is guilty. IF he is a murderer THEN kick him out (don't want to start a deabte about corporal punishment or maybe I'll write about it next time).

And he can't counter sue because you leave your knife lying around somewhere. If you don't know, in the US, a thief that failed to rob a house counter sue the owner for leaving the knife outside and the thief actually cut himself because of the knife. And guess what ? The thief won. He got compensation because the owner failed to have a safe house.

Ok, back to the kitten. Back a couple of months ago, there was another case of abuse. A man burn a kitten...hehehe. That's not sick, that's just simply crazy and that's just plain wrong.

Ok, just trying to write up something cause I haven't been adding anything to the blog.
I'm gonna try to make a website that will integrate the blog and will have other stuff. I hope I will have the time and ability to do it. Of course with the help of Mr. Aerowalk.

In the meantime, be safe. If you see a kitten, kick it.....no, I mean leave it alone, OK ?

did you know ?

In ancient Rome, women were told to spit three times into the mouth of a frog to prevent pregnancy...
