TANDOOR SPREADS CHRISTMAS CHEER WITH THE EXOTIC TASTES OF INDIA

Tandoor invites diners to celebrate Christmas with an Indian touch. A special festive menu and gourmet takeaway options will be available throughout this holiday season from Thanksgiving on 28 November 2013 to New Year’s Day on 1 January 2014.

Priced at an affordable $58++, the 4-course Festive Gourmet Menu takes diners through 10 dishes which include two main course options. Unique Christmas-inspired dishes created especially for the menu include a hearty Roast Pumpkin and Clove Soup laced with fresh cream and a delectable Christmas Mince Pie a la Indiana stuffed with semolina, dried fruit and topped with berries. Diners can delight in offerings hot out of the Tandoor oven like the Turkey Pankhi, turkey breast stuffed with lightly spiced cream cheese and mushrooms; and Turkey Raan, tender turkey legs braised in a rich cinnamon-spiced Turkey stock served with gravy. Perennial favourites from Tandoor’s a la carte menu, like the Murg Tikka and Mahi Rai, will also be served.

Four turkey dishes laced with Tandoor’s traditional Indian influences are also available as dine-in and takeaway options. These sumptuous offerings are perfect for hosts looking to satisfy their Christmas cravings with something different. The Roast Turkey and Tandoori Turkey (both $88++) are whole birds lightly marinated with aromatic Indian spices. While the Roast Turkey also has cream cheese, both dishes have a rich potato and dried fruit stuffing, and are served with gourmet vegetables as well as an addictive cranberry chilli sauce. The two turkey mains from the Festive Gourmet Menu, Turkey Pankhi and Turkey Raan (both $32++), can also be ordered a la carte or enjoyed with loved ones in the warmth of home – portions are good for two people and are equivalent to a quarter of a whole turkey. Takeaway orders must be made three days in advance.

Please refer to the full Gourmet Festive Menu below. Tandoor is open daily from 12pm – 2.30pm for lunch, and 7pm – 10.30pm for dinner.

I really love shopping and shopping online is one of my favourite pastimes!!! Just imagine I can do my shopping online while I lay on my comfortable bed, sit at the cafe with a cup of nice coffee or even while I am travelling on a train.

Plus I get to avoid going to the crowded shopping malls and heavy traffic, plus I spend less on travelling or eating out. Because of the numerous advantages and benefits of Online shopping, more and more people these days prefer it over conventional shopping.

For me, I love shopping at sites like amazon.com, urbanoutfitters.com, bluefly.com and Rakuten Global Market, because of the wide range of products that I can get at very good prices!
There is Good news!!!! Black Friday is coming!!! Black Friday is the best time to shop on such overseas websites, because all the retailers will be putting up the best deals and offers with discounts of up to 50% or 60%!

What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. It is traditionally the largest shopping day in the U.S and it is also officially the first Christmas shopping day of the year. During this time, all the stores will offer crazy bargain blowout sale prices to persuade people to spend at their store. There is always a crazy buying frenzy, like you see in the movies. People in the U.S. will start queuing up at five a.m. so that they will be able to grab the bargain first. With online shopping getting more and more popular, Black Friday sales have started to happen online as well. And that means that people outside of the U.S, including Singapore can now also enjoy massive savings at their favourite U.S. online shops. Isn't that AWESOME! 

The Imagine Card's Black Friday Campaign

To ensure that everyone gets the best deal when they are shopping online on overseas websites, The EZ-Link Imagine American Express® Prepaid Card will be launching a Black Friday special this year! Guess what? If you use your Imagine Card to pay for your purchases on overseas websites, you will receive a 10% rebate on top of all the crazy sale prices they have!

Any international website applies here, websites from the U.S, Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea, China etc! The spending will just have to be on the Imagine Card (Amex purse)!

This awesome campaign will last from 29th November to 5th December, so remember to mark these dates on your calendar! Rebates will be credited back to your Imagine Card (Amex purse) by end of December 2013, and all rebates on purchases will be capped at SGD$1,000. Get your Imagine Card today!

The new range is ideal for home office or small business users looking for a printing solution that is compact, efficient and easy to use. The printers are designed to be trouble free and user friendly with few moving parts, requiring very little maintenance and less replacement needs.

Fuji Xerox Print & Scan Utility
With smart phones, tablets and laptops being tools of choice for many small businesses today, it is important for users to connect these devices to the office printer wirelessly. Whether it is an iOS or Android device, the Fuji Xerox Print & Scan Utility puts mobile printing and scanning convenience at users’ fingertips, allowing you to print stored photo albums, web pages or shoot and print on the go from your iOS or Android devices, as well as scan documents from the CM215 fw direct to your iOS or Android device.

The inclusion of Fuji Xerox DocuWorks 7.3 document handling software on the DocuPrint CM215 fw makes document management easy and intuitive by transforming printers into a ‘digital desk’ where users can create, retrieve, update, distribute and store documents securely from a computer desktop.

Outstanding Value and Performance

Cost and Energy Saving
Ranking among the most cost-effective printers on the market today, the new range offers low cost of ownership, meaning businesses do not need to worry about large ongoing expenses. The fixed drum feature means the toner is the only consumable users will ever need to replace.


The printers use the Fuji Xerox EA (Emulsion-Aggregation)-Eco toner, which works with a fusing temperature lower than conventional toners. This means power consumption is reduced during printing. Toner-Save Mode reduces toner usage, allowing businesses to reduce toner costs by up to 30 per cent for further cost savings.

The printers consume less energy than comparable models, with the DocuPrint CP215 w and DocuPrint CM215 fw boasting one of the lowest Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) in their class. This reduced energy consumption results in real cost savings for small businesses.


Quality Colour Printing
Fuji Xerox’s award winning S-LED (Self-Scanning Light Emitting Diode) and DELCIS (Digitally-Enhanced Lighting Control Imaging System) control technologies ensure accurate, high imaging quality at 1200 x 2400 dpi. Small and intelligent S-LED chips with fewer moving parts deliver ultra-quiet operation, reduced energy usage, a high quality of operational reliability and a sleek compact design.

Mobile Printing Made Easy
The DocuPrint CP215 w and DocuPrint CM215 fw feature wireless connectivity, with a new one-touch Wi-Fi setup (WPS 2.0) allowing printers to be shared wirelessly among small workgroups with ease. 

The DocuPrint CM215 fw provides multifunction features, with scan, copy and fax built in.

Revolutionary Environmental Technologies
The printers carry the International Energy Star Qualification helping to reduce power bills. The fixed drum and smaller toner design mean less waste ends up in landfill sites. EA-Eco toner also uses 25 per cent less energy to manufacture, which results in less waste when compared to conventional toner. The EA-Eco toner works at a far lower temperature during fusion meaning lower energy use and CO2 emissions. This provides great energy-saving performance and up to 40 per cent reduction in power consumption during printing.

All devices use Fuji Xerox EA-Eco toner, which works with a fusing temperature 20 degrees Celsius lower than conventional toners. This provides great energy-saving performance by allowing up to 40 per cent reduction in power consumption during printing.

I just came back from the Explore Quest Malaysia 2013 (11-17 Nov 2013) recently.
It was a fun and unforgettable trip to me. Through this trip, I got to visit several places I had never been and also made a lot of  wonderful friends from Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Myanmar and Malaysia.

 I'm really honored to be invited together with 107 celebrities, media and tour agents from ASEAN to participate in the week-long ASEAN Explore Quest Malaysia 2013.  This programme, specially organised by Tourism Malaysia for the first time, marks an effort to ensure the continual growth of tourist arrivals from the ASEAN market especially during the celebrations of Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2014. 

The ASEAN Explore Quest Malaysia 2013 is a combination of exploring, corporate social responsibility, homestay, fun activities and Instagram Photo Competition where we will told to harshtag all the photo we took with harshtags like #vmy2014 #ExploreQuestMalaysia #AirAsia #DigiExploreMY. We travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Perak and Langkawi  by train and bus, while engaging in various activities along the way.

Beside going for city tours, visit KidZania and Kellie’s Castle, experience rail tourism, participate in community activities and traditional games, we also witnessed a mock traditional Malay wedding ceremony.

In conjunction with the event, a press conference chaired by the Director General of Tourism Malaysia, Dato’ Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, was held at the Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur on 11 Nov 2013. It was followed by a welcome dinner to thank all the participants for their support to the programme. 

“As in previous years, the ASEAN market was the largest contributor of tourist arrivals to Malaysia in 2012, recording 18.8 million visitors. It encompassed 75.1 percent of the country’s total arrivals,” said Dato’ Mirza.

“As such, Tourism Malaysia will continue to carry out promotions to constantly excite the markets with new attractions and holiday ideas to rejuvenate their interest in returning time and time again,”  he continued.

The programme offers the media and travel agents first-hand information on the country’s tourism products, which will enable them to promote and sell Malaysia better and with more confidence. Other elements like culture, people, and nature will also be given emphasis in all the activities especially for the photography competition.

Through the tours, it is hoped that travel agents can provide more exciting and attractive holiday packages, while the media can share their first-hand experiences with their readers.

The ASEAN Explore Quest Malaysia 2013 also involves the participation of ASEAN celebrities, who will help to boost the promotion of the country’s tourist destinations and raise the awareness of VMY 2014 through social media and their fan clubs. They include supermodel and singer Phan Le Ai Phuong from Vietnam, TV host and choreographer Sheenalyn Vera Cruz from the Philippines, actress Chaw Chaw Yu Mon Kyaw Tint from Myanmar, Actor and Model- Mai Pisan Srimankong from Thailand.

In order to ensure the success of this programme, Tourism Malaysia has forged a smart partnership with The Star and Star Radio Group which comprises Suria FM, Capital FM, Red FM and 988 (the official media partners), Malaysia Airlines (the official airline), and AirAsia (the official low cost carrier). 

In addition, Tourism Malaysia also received support from various organisations, which include the Perak State Government, the Langkawi Development Authority (LADA), and Malayan Railways (KTM), as well as DiGi, KidZania Kuala Lumpur, Munchy’s, Nippon Paint, Pensonic and Pepsico.

In 2012, a total of 18.8 million tourists from ASEAN countries visited Malaysia. For this year, the country has set a target to attract 19.9 million tourists from this region. For the first half of 2013, Malaysia has already received 9.2 million tourists from ASEAN countries.

Check out some of the fun photo taken during the trip by me:

Why is there a Eagle statue in Langkawi? 
Langkawi means reddish brown eagle in colloquial Malay. The Malay word for eagle is helang - which is shortened to "lang". Kawi means the colour reddish brown.[citation needed] It was given the title of "Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah" in 2008 by Kedah's Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah as part of his golden jubilee to impress on tourists that it was part of Kedah.


Tiffany and myself had a great fun time in Langkawi.


Of cause not forgetting the company of the fun-loving friends I knew through this trip...
Will definitely remember all the fun time we had...








I enjoy watching the sunset...

Thanks Tourism Malaysia for arranging all the meals throughout the trip.

Come to Langkawi, you must take the boat ride out and watch the eagles.
The view is great and you really feel very close to nature.
