Food etc.



The Trip : $XXX





The Room with A View : $YYY





The Restaurant: $ZZZ





Since you guys missed all the food, heres some more yummy Malaysian fare for you


Penang, a restaurant offering Malaysian cuisine is a big favourite of ours. The food is simply superb.
A couple of weekends back we went to Penang at West Windsor, NJ. This is the first time we visited the restaturant at this location. We used to frequent the one at Edison, NJ earlier but I must say this one has a much better ambience.

The service and the ambience was pretty good and the food very good and very nicely presented. This one also offered Thai, but we stuck to the Malaysian menu.



We started with some Roti Telur -- Indian Style Stuffed Egg Paratha with a chicken curry and Satay Ayam -- Chicken grilled in Skewers served with peanut Sauce

For the main Dish we ordered Ayam Rendang, Mango Chicken, Ikon Bilish -- made with anchovies and Pineapple Fried Rice



Ayam Rendang-- A spicy chicken curry cooked with onions, lemon grass etc.





Mango Chicken -- Chicken cooked with shredded mango in a sweet & sour sauce and served in Mango Shell





Fried Icecream-- The dessert was ok though the kids liked it



We carried some leftovers home and we enjoyed them all the more the next day. Say why ?? 'Coz we could lick our fingers and the plate !!!

Remove Plagiarism -- March 5th



Plagiarism -- much has been said about it and I am not going to reiterate.

But it hurts to see when the content and the pictures we so lovingly create and put up being stolen and used. Most of us bloggers, blog to vent their creativity, they find it as a channel to showcase their passion, to share what they love doing with million others.
We all know that Internet is open and we were always aware that our work could be used by others, after all we all use free icons, free javascrips, free information. But we do that only when it says that is for "FREE". We do not abuse the free availability of this information (though there are people who do so)

However when we bloggers want to protect our content and we state that explicitly in the copyright statements all we expect is the user to use that information but not to lift it straight off our web page. We want them to post a request in the numerous comments that we have, to ask our permission, to use the content if permission is given and in the manner the owner says and last but not the least to give due credits. This is not much to ask for, after all we are entitled to our creative copyrights.

If large organizations like Yahoo do not behave responsibly and lift contents as stated here, we can not expect much from small independent sites like AndhraMirchy.com etc. It would not do Yahoo much good if they rise up one morning to see an exact replica of their portal with their Logo, Design and Content stolen, right ? And that's why they have lawyers drawing up statements like
"Yahoo! respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. Yahoo! may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, terminate the accounts of users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others. "

So why don't they practice what they preach ?
