Now if anybody is likely to drop something in our house then it’s usually me. Last Sunday the roles were reversed and my wife dropped her iPhone 4s onto a tilled floor. After realising what a silly thing it was to do and enduring some banter from myself, the phone was checked and although there was visible damage, the phone was dead.
As usual when things go wrong the timing was less than perfect with myself due leave within the next few hours to catch a flight back to Singapore.
After searching the internet for iPhone repair companies we found an a nearby independent company called Iphone2Fix. After checking the website and Facebook page I tried to call them but the handphone went straight to voice mail. Undeterred I drove the short distance and gave them a personal call.
The small shop was clean, organised and the 2 staff were friendly and professional. After checking the phone they found that it simply needed a full reboot and not being an iPhone user myself I had no idea how such procedures were executed.
There are so many places in Malaysia were service is awful and the integrity of individuals is questionable that it was a pleasant surprise to find this place.
I cannot vouch for the quality of any repairs but so far so good from what I've seen.

KFC Malaysia - Restricted Menu
KFC in Malaysia is hardly the greatest advertisement of the KFC brand.
The service is often poor due to the staff being being slow and just larking around with their colleagues. To compound the problem the staff have such short term memory loss that they typically are unable to remember more then one item for example they have to keep checking the counter to see what we ordered 1 Zinger burger err what next?... err a coke, what next? ... errr wedges, hence the reason for the queues. Owing to press reports of past incidents of staff attacking customers who complain its probably best to just keep quiet.
In addition a big concern is the hygiene standard because many of their restaurants I visited had dirty tables and a floor that was full of dirty marks and dropped food. Unlike some fast food outlets, KFC Malaysia don't seem to prioritise cleaning and housekeeping.
During the CNY holiday I visited an outlet in Wangsa Maju and was disappointed to find that the menu had been restricted from 9-17 Feb.
I've never experienced KFC UK, Singapore or Thailand doing this to why do KFC Malaysia do this?
Yet another feather in their cap of bad service awards.

Ikea Restaurant in Malaysia
I recently got dragged to Ikea in Malaysia during the recent Chinese New Year holiday long holiday. As expected the store was quite busy but bearable.
One thing I've never understood is the attraction of their restaurant considering the abundance of good affordable food.
On the particular day that I visited the queue stretched the full length of the restaurant which has to be the longest I've seen there.
Now if the food was fantastic or very very cheap then I may just see the logic of queuing for hours but hello this is Ikea, hardly the gastronomic paradise of Malaysia.
I really don't get it so perhaps somebody could help explain this attraction to me?

I'm back!!
After a long unplanned break I’m back.
So what happened? Well several things actually, I’m involved with the management committee at my condo and run their blog amongst other things which took up a lot of my time and then when it came to this blog I seemed to get writers block or didn’t have the enthusiasm for some reason.
Whilst I don’t get a huge amount of site traffic it was interesting to see what people been reading whilst I was away. So far the top 3 posts are:
I didn’t enjoy my last visit to Ayers Rock several years ago however owing to the interest I may be tempted to give it another try.
So from now on I will try and update the site on a more regular basis and have several posts planned.
