Hartz Chicken Buffet Restaurant in Bintulu

Hartz Chicken Buffet is the new buzz in the little industrial town of Bintulu. This franchise-based restaurant is originated from Texas, USA. The local company that owned the franchise had license to operate within the whole of Sarawak and Brunei region.

Since it’s a buzz, I’ve decided to give it a go. It looks pretty tempting from the outside. Looks classy enough for an International-based restaurant.

My Honda City’s Audio Upgrade: Part 2

This is the Part 2 of My Honda City’s Audio Upgrade. Continuing the work from Part 1.
My Honda City's Audio Upgrade

Introducing the Lanzar brothers. These 2 Lanzard Heritage woofers can produces tight-ass bass at 2000watt max! I’ve actually turned the woofer inside out afterwards to let it play as subs. Photos and videos will be shown at the end of the whole project.

I’ve actually left that woofer set out of the car for almost 5 months now due to its weight. Now it’s time to put it back to use before it starts to rot!

My Honda City's Audio Upgrade

My Honda City has been in quite a mess of late. A few months back, I’ve removed the 2 Lanzars at the rear boot to cut weight for I’ve to travel in between Sibu and Miri quite a lot. Leaving behind this mess.
Messy Amplifiers
Removed wires. Even the thin board covering the spare tires are gone.

Halo Cafe Miri

I was in Halo Cafe Miri when the nation countdown to its 50th birthday. The cafe had interesting programmes lined up for that special night – with lucky draws and gifts giveaway. Miri was chosen to host this year’s state-level Merdeka celebration and early in the morning there are colorful arrays of events staged at the Miri Stadium.

Back to the cafe, I’ve only come to know that the cafe is actually owned by one of my friends back in Melbourne – Mr. Kuek, and some other shareholders as well, namely the son of Honda Miri’s tauke (boss).

Following is a few shots I’ve taken inside Halo Cafe.

Heavy rain outside on Merdeka Day
Heavy rain outside Halo Cafe.

As soon as the fireworks goes off sharp at 12 midnight, the rain pours down and the fireworks lasts for about 10 minutes, or less? Must be very anti-climaxing for all the high-expecting guests and visitors, including me.

For all those who’re there at the City fan garden, it must be quite a scene to see them running for shades when the rain comes pouring down.

Well, some feedback for the cafe, I think it’s a lil bit too pricey for those someone like me. No doubt it’s a cool place to sit back with a cup of Jasmine tea and listen to live band performing. But not on a frequent basis. The audio system still has room to improve, I reckon the speakers are too focused and bass levels are too high they create distortion. Staging and tunings are expected to be better.

Take a chance to tease your taste buds as they serve a variety of delicious western/eastern fusion foods.
