Gmail Signature Tweaks

Posted on March 24, 2011 by OuOu

When I use Gmail’s “Reply” feature, Gmail always places my signature at the very bottom of the entire email. No one would scroll down to the end of the email to see my signature. So, for each email I reply, I have to cut and paste the signature to the end of my reply message. There must be an easier way!

I found this:

Seems easy, right? It is!! I tried it, and it worked. 🙂 No more cutting and pasting my signature in Gmail. Hurray!

Spanish Jamón

Ever since I watched Jamie Oliver’s Food Escape to Andalucia, I have been dreaming of Spanish jamón. Jamón is dry-cured Spanish ham. It’s generally served raw in thin slices.

Karan recently brought some jamón back from Madrid. This is the real thing! The flavor is dynamic and incredible. I can see why jamón is a normal part of everyday life in many Spanish homes!! I am addicted to jamón! Yum.

Remarkble thinness

Isla Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar

Posted on February 20, 2011 by OuOu

I purchased a Groupon to try this restaurant out ($15 for $30). It’s located at Treasure Island, Las Vegas. Since I was staying at TI, it was perfect. I did make reservation since it was a Friday night.

I love raspberries

The atmosphere was warm and inviting.

The meal came with free salsa and chips, which came on a elevated stand. I thought the salsa wasn’t anything remarkable.

The mojitos though, woah, were some of the best ones I’ve had. 🙂 Oh-la-la!

Cubana Cocktail

Perfect "appetizer"

Karan and I shared three dishes. And we did enjoy all three. My favorite was the chile relleno. It was the second best chile relleno I’ve tasted. The best being Ted’s. 🙂

Groupon definitely helped with the bill. But even without Groupon, I would try this restaurant again, especially its mojitos. 🙂

Mole Chicken

Pork tacos

Chile Relleno

Satay Asian Bistro & Bar

Posted on February 14, 2011 by OuOu

I crave for Malaysian comfort food all the time. I was lucky to find Satay Asian Bistro in Vegas, just 10 minutes walk from my hotel. The food is the most authentic Malaysian food I ever tasted in USA; some even better than the versions in Malaysia. I went there four times in five days! Even Anthony Bourdain has featured some dishes from this restaurant in his show. 🙂 The food that I ordered are every day comfort food. It’s funny that these dishes are so cheap in Malaysia that only cafes and roadside stalls carry them. In USA, they are the most sought after dishes and are selling for around USD 9 each dish (except the appetizers). 🙂
