Twister Orange by Tropicana
My breakfast this morning, RM$2.40 from your local Shell gas station convenience store!
From the USA Tropicana website ... Tropicana Twister® is the delicious juice drink that comes in twisted flavor combinations like Tropical Fruit Fury and Strawberry Kiwi Cyclone. Single-Serve plastic bottles.
History lesson from Tropicana's corporate site ...
Tropicana was founded in 1947 by Anthony Rossi as a Florida fruit packaging business. In 1954 Rossi pioneered a pasteurization process for orange juice. He started his own fruit packing business and shipped jars of sectioned fruit and fresh juice to hotels and restaurants in refrigerated trucks. One of his first customers, the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, had a standing order for 1,000 gallons of juice and fruit jars each week.

Angel Hair Pasta with Siew Yoke - Vintry, Damansara Heights
Add: 130 Jalan Kasah , Medan Damansara , KL
Tel: +603 2094 8262
Angel Hair Pasta with Siew Yoke (Caramalised roast pork) .... soooooo yummy.
Signature dish at Vintry ... the Korean Noodles with Siew Yoke (Roast Pork). So tasty!
Caesar Salad with Roast Pork ... so-so ...
This was delicious ... Cajun Triple decker Sandwich, served with Crisps. Slurp! So tasty :-)
Matua Valley Shingle Peak Pinot Noir 2004 from Malborough, New Zealand ... quite decent, and easy drinking. Under RM$70.
Wirra Wirra Church Block Cab Sav ... Usually one of my preferred vintages! Reasonably priced at just over RM$100 too.
ps - By the time I arrived, a 100g plate of caramalised roast pork had already been finished. For all the above, including that bottle of Pinot Noir (as well as a Takeaway Order - 200 g of roast pork and another Cajun triple decker sandwich), the meal for five came up to just over RM$270.
Review from my previous visit
Another review of Vintry
Mercedes S65 AMG
This is one performance ubermobile! Spotted at Damansara Heights ... slurrrrrrrp!
I checked on Wikipedia ... What's AMG?
Mercedes-AMG is the high performance division of the Mercedes-Benz car company. Mercedes-Benz acquired majority interest in AMG in 1998.
AMG or Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach was founded in 1967 as AMG Motorenbau und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (AMG Engine Production and Development, Ltd.) by former Mercedes engineers Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher in a town near Stuttgart called Großaspach."AMG" is an abbreviation that stands for: Hans Werner Aufrecht (A) and Eberhard Melcher (M) who were partners, while Aufrecht’s birthplace of Großaspach (G) supplied the third letter in the company name.
And for this particular W221 'supercar' ... The S 63 AMG and the S 600 makes the same sprint in about 4.6 seconds. The twin-turbo V12 in the S 65 AMG is also found in Mercedes roadster SL 65 AMG.

Opening hours: Mon - Sat (11.30am - 3pm, 6pm - 11pm) & Sun (11.30am - 3pm, 5.30pm - 11pm)
Be prepared to wait ... this place is popular, but it certainly is worth the 30 minute wait :-) we went through!
Gorgeous! This made all the difference ... the sauce, a blend of sesame, chilli paste, spring onions and lots of fried onions.
WH liked the Sancha sauce ala Taiwan ...
Fish noodles ala Pulau Ketam ...
The sets were great, but the meats (My fave = Lamb, the beef and pork was good too) were incredible ... so fresh and tasty when cooked in the hotpot (Each one gets their own hotpot ... sort of like a hygienic and mini-lok lok!!). Great concept!! And the speed of the induction heater, amazing ... no more ten minute waits for the soup to boil, you now only have to wait a minute or two!
Here're some images of our hotpots from start to finish ... we took the Herbal and Ginseng soup varieties (There's also Tom Yam). Delicious!
One of us decided to brave it and have a Ice Honey Chlorophyll .... eep! I stuck to a very fresh and delicious Double Orange Juice ... followed by Ice Green Tea. Slurp, refreshing!
Thanks again to W and H for the yummy treat ... RM$140 well spent, we were so full up! And tummies were so happy!
Ps - Indulged in some pretty hardcore makan with this foursome over Sunday ...
