Chilli Me @Butterworth

-
One of the food places in Butterworth that Ban and I go to every now and then is Uncle Kin Chilli Pan Mee (but we opt for the non-spicy one). We nicknamed the dish there "special pan mee" because of the unusual way of preparation. Ban normally stays away from pan mee and so this is truly special :)

My sister told me of another place that serves similar dish:

























We both ordered the non-spicy dry pan mee but we chose different sets. The pan mee itself was more expensive than Uncle Kin's. It had more noodle but Uncle Kin gave a bowl of fishballs and so the latter is better in my opinion.

Its taste was quite good. Uncle Kin's version was heavier in flavour such that you wouldn't want to have it again for, say, a week. 'Jelak'.

Now come the strange bit: I chose the set that came with dessert and side dish. Craving for vegetable, I chose a vegetable side dish, only to realise later that it would had been cheaper to order ala carte @@. This set saves money only if you choose non-vegetable side dishes. Messed up pricing. I asked the waiter to highlight this to his boss but he had this resigned demeanor when responding (my Mandarin is no good). Apparently his boss wasn't in most of the time and so I couln't talk to him directly either.

Will I go there again? I don't think so beause Uncle Kin's version is overall better and cheaper, wonky set pricing aside.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i...
