US singer and actress Whitney Houston dies aged 48

American singer and actress Whitney Houston has died at the age of 48, her publicist Kristen Foster has said

American singer and actress Whitney Houston has died in Los Angeles at the age of 48.
A spokesman for Houston's family confirmed the news, saying: "Unfortunately, it is true."

Houston was one of the most celebrated female singers of all time, with hits including I Will Always Love You and Saving All My Love For You.

But her later career was overshadowed by substance abuse and her turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown.

Police spokesman Mark Rosen told reporters Houston was pronounced dead at 15:55 pm (23:55 GMT) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was staying as a guest.

Fire department personnel and members of hotel security were already attempting resuscitation when police arrived at the scene, he said.

"She has been positively identified by friends and family that were with her at the hotel, and next of kin have already been notified," he added.

The cause of her death remains unclear but Mr Rosen said there were "no obvious signs of criminal intent".

Fish Farm Thai Restaurant @ Hulu Langat, Ampang

Yesterday, we celebrated Fell's birthday at Fish Farm Thai Restaurant. For an unforgettable and delicious dinner, may I suggest this restaurant as it is a popular romantic spot for those who want to celebrate special occasion. The ride to the restaurant may be very bumpy but the lovely view of the fish pond and tasty food is well worth it. 

It is a place hidden in the jungle of Hulu Langat, situated not too far from the famous 'Look Out Point'. It took us close to an hour's drive to get to the place from PJ. Once we reached there, there were many cars parked at the clearing and the place was full of people.

For the 6 of us, we ordered 1kg of crab, two types of fish, squid, vegetable and tom yam seafood. We ordered some rice to go with all these, and a pot of Chinese tea. 

The strongly black pepper flavored crabs (RM55) are addictive. I have tried their popular BBQ crabs before but I would rather choose this.

 The lemon steamed fish (RM30) was delicious, the chili padi and garlic a Thai signature.

 The salt grilled fish (RM30) is simply applied with generous amount of salt and grilled. While the fish meat was still quite tasteless.

 Squid with salted egg (RM15) though, was a bit of a disappointment. The 'salted egg sauce' was poured on separately, it was a bit weird and slimy, not something I would order again.
 Deep-fried spinach (RM8) is something that you can't miss.

 Chinese cruller with Pandan Kaya (RM5)

 Mango sticky rice (RM8)

 From the back (L-R): Chin, Jun & May
From the front (L-R): Me, Fell & Heng Leng

The bill came up to slightly less than RM35 per person including drinks for everyone (around RM180+ if not mistaken). A very satisfying dinner at exotic location at a decent price, and most importantly, with the company you want to be with. 

 Happy Birthday to Fell! May this year is your best ever! $$ come!

Plan B Restaurant @ Bangsar Village I

There is a well known restaurant called Plan B located in Bangsar Village 1. I've heard some good comments from friends who have been there, so a few of us decided to pay the place a visit. Surprisingly at 7pm there was no line outside the place was packed.

 The simple menu

 Lime Juice @ RM10

 Asian-Style Golden Soft Shell Crab Spaghetti @ RM22
It was swimming in cream that made it heavy and difficult to finish.

 Spaghetti Marinara @ RM19

 Spicy Crabmeat Spaghetti @ RM22
The flavor of the spicy prawn oil is very pleasant.

 Wild Mushroom Linguine @ RM19
Scented with thyme truffle oil & lemon with lots of wild mushrooms!

 Moroccan Lamb Meatballs with Spaghetti @ RM19
In smokey eggplant and tomato sauce!
 Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream

 Rocky Rocks @ RM5

 Chocolate Truffle

 The girls (from the left) - Soo Teng, Me, May

 The guys (from the left) - Chin, Xavier, Davin & Jared


I love the food, the concept and the ambiance that Plan B creates. However, I hope the management can do something to improve the quality of the restaurant services. Services was painfully slow, and we had to continuously ask for water, cutlery and menu.
