Massage Parlours @ Platinum

The Platinum Walk area will probably has the highest concentration per sq km of massage parlours. There are at least three within a shout's distance. These health centres have been here since Platinum Walk started. Below are three of those in and around Platinum Walk:

Social Emergency - Who Do You Call?

If you hear of someone being abused or any social misdoings, who do you call? According to the signboard, 15999 - Talian Nur. Keep the number handy although you won't miss the giant signboard at the junction from Jalan Perusahaan to Selangor Pewter bypass. Who knows when it will be removed. Isn't it better when the signboards are imprinted on all the Projek Perumahan Rakyat (Public Housing Schemes) around the area which have the highest population density?



Call when you hear of abuse or distress



Jams At Air Panas-Semarak Short Cut

The traffic lights at the Air Panas-Semarak short cut is giving problems again. If you notice from this picture, you will see tyhe cars backed up from the junction till Setapak Jaya bridge. Will someone do something about it? The MP perhaps?

Creative Capati

Let's Hot and Roll!

Okay, how many ways can you prepare capati? Well, apparently more than one. Get creative and try this one at Wangsa Walk. We have yet to try it but judging from the crowd, it is quite popular. It's about time the Indians market their traditional favourite as fast food. Not only nasi lemak or satay can you make into fast food but capati too if you know how.

Octopus Sushi

Octopus Sushi

Okay, has anyone tried this sushi outlet at Wangsa Walk yet? We were there last week and noticed it. It wasn't pack, so we were wary. Usually good food outlets are packed to the brim. But this is not a new player - if we are not mistaken, it first opened at the Ampang Point many years ago and the menu is quite extensive. So, should we try it or not?

Rawang Fish - Rampai Business Park

The rice package

A new fish dish outlet has just opened at the Rampai Business Park. It's called Rawang Fish. It occupies one of the many shops on the same row at the Canton Kitchen Chinese Restaurant. We decided to check out the place and found the prices quite okay. The fish fish for which it is famous is not much out of the ordinary except that the fish does not have that heavy 'earth smell'. Prices are okay. You can have a satisfying lunch for RM25 plus for two persons, inclusive of drinks.

Chinese Lettuce - RM8



Tilapia Steamed - RM18
