KAMPUNGBOYCITYGAL A MALAYSIAN FOOD & TRAVEL BLOG

I’m not a rice person. I always skip rice and pick on the main dishes whenever there is a family dinner. “Eat more rice or else some strong wind can easily blow you away,” my mum would always say that with a concern tone on her voice whenever she glares at my tiny frame.

I can’t be bothered and the “rice skipping ritual” continued until I discovered Rice Crisps by Mister Potato, a first of its kind in Malaysia. Just imagine that your plain boring white rice comes with 4 yummy flavours: BBQ, Original. Hot & Spicy, Sour Cream & Onion. Syok!

The Rice Crisps became part and parcel of my life. It kept me company when I’m bored waiting or stuck in a horrible Friday evening jam.

We were invited to Taylor’s Lakeside Campus for the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts Campus Preview Day last weekend. Initially we thought it’s just another ordinary campus open day but we were so wrong! As we toured around the campus, we kept exclaiming “wow! oh wow!”. We were so impressed with what we had seen that we stayed vaguely sensible. ☺

Set on 27 acres of tropical greenery near Jalan PJS 7/5, the flagship campus is built around a 5.5 acre lake and many ecological sustainable principles such as natural cooling systems have been used on this “eco-friendly campus”.

The Lakeside Campus is divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2. The Phase 1 of the campus will be fully completed in July 2010. It welcomed its first batch of students in January 2010. Work is still ongoing for the 80-room boutique hotel run by the students and lecturers as well as a Commercial Block that houses a food court, bookstore, restaurants, convenience store, money changer, ATMs and more. Phase 2 is slated for completion in 2012.

You lucky Taylorians!!

Upon our arrival, we met up with Emily at the Administration Block, a 6-storey glass-encased building that houses key departments that provide services to both prospective and current students.

Meet Iza, the pretty mummy and Miu from Plus Size Kitten. I love reading about all her lil’ misadventures at those warehouse sales where we girls go ohh and ahh. Guys can never understand the thrill of fighting with thousands of other desperate woman and the triumphant moment of securing a discounted item that everyone else is eyeing.

OK. enough of that already.

Few weeks back, I attended a workshop organized by Nippon Paint together with some other  bloggers. Little did I know that it’s going to be a such a fun and insightful event. We  got our hands on doing some swirls and patterns with Nippon Paint. Let’s just say that we are better off blogging, except for the few talented ones. :p

yummy colours.
