For a lack of a better word, I’ll translate this to be Onion Fritter or Deep-fried Battered Mashed-up Onions. Simply because, these little flat looking “balls” are made out of nothing but yellow onions and chillies coarsely blended before mixing in the flour and salt (to taste) and deep-fried for a few minutes. I have also added sprigs of chopped-up spring onions into the dough before frying. Eat it with chilli sauce and you’ll find it to be rather addictive.
In Kim’s words, this is another culinary hurdle surmounted! Bawang and me are definitely friends nowadays.

The sucker in me was gullible enough to be enticed by the “Best Archer novel for some years” print on the book. That was enough a reason for me to decide if I should buy it. After all, it’s Jeffrey Archer and his books are almost always rivetingly superb. It took me a couple of days to mull over what I have read to decide if I like this book. The answer is: not quite entirely. Don’t get me wrong, it is still a good book and Jeffrey Archer’s style is definitely stamped all over it. However, it just didn’t capture me like the way “Not a Penny More, Not A Penny Less” and “Kane & Abel” did. Those two books are just awesome…like Discovery Channel’s version of “The World is Awesome” awesome…but I digress.
False Impression seems a little light-weight in plot as compared to the two I’ve mentioned above. I also think the other reason I don’t quite like it, is perhaps, I’m just a little bias with that little prose on Sept 11. In my opinion, that’s another case of OTT with way too much coverage that just goes on and on and on.
This book doesn’t really rate too high on my list, but I’m still gonna read his other books when I get my hands on them. Time for another trip to the nearest bookstore soon. 😀

It took them almost a week to reply to my complain, but Citibank finally replied a few days ago stating that they will make “an exception” to reimburse the already paid 50 bucks late surcharge to me. Good for them, I’d say since I’m about ready to lose my patience with them and they, for now, managed to stall me from moving my business away from them. One way to definitely shut me up for a while.
Honestly, I don’t like to make a fuss about things in general. I don’t like to deal with too much hassle, but I’ve come to realize that you won’t lose anything if you DO make a fuss. In fact, sometimes, there are more to be gained. C’est la vie.
