First impressions do matter. With these first date spots you can’t miss.
First dates are extremely important – you need to show-off that you know the cool places without being too showy, know that she will have a good time and that the food and service will be good so that in her eyes you look smarter than you think you are.
So we’re taking the guesswork out for you with these 3 “can’t lose” picks:
Yes, that’s exactly what you think it is: an Enterprise Pizza Cutter!
Space… the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new pizzas, to seek out new toppings and new cheeses, to boldy cut pizza where no man has cut before!
The Star Trek Enterprise Pizza Cutter is eight-and-a-half inches of awesome. The zinc-alloy body is chrome-plated and the saucer-section is a laser-etched stainless-steel blade, all in the shape of the original NCC-1701 Enterprise.
Japanese toy maker Kotobukiya just announced these new Star Wars licensed chopsticks, appropriately called Chopsabers:
Star Wars lightsabers merge with Japanese culture and “Chop Sabers” emerge! Suitable for eating sushi or defending the galaxy, the Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader lightsabers measure 9″ long, with the blades cast in translucent material. The smaller “children’s size” Yoda saber measures approximately 7″ long. As a special bonus each set includes translucent Star Wars logo chopstick rests.
Available soon ( not at the San Diego Comic-Con as previously reported) for US$20/HK$180 a pair – you can get a Jedi blue set or a red Sith set and each come with Yoda’s green pair (for children of course). Check back at the Kotobukiya website for availability. See the other chopstick colors here.
Forget Cup Noodles, have something more fancy at your desk.
This is the smallest portable microwave in the world and its powered by a USB cable and will change instant food you see around the office forever.
Heinz is behind this, and of course they want to be the one to supply you with the food like these ready-to-heat-and-eat Snap Pots, but you can imagine the endless array of dim sum and fried rice concoctions more palatable to the Asian stomach available to overworked office staff that need a quick pick-me-up at all hours of the day.
Apart from its size, the key breakthrough is the use of a combination of mobile phone radio frequencies to create the heat to cook both on the outside and within in under a minute.
Mr Andrews, the managing director of GAMA Microwave Technology, said it is possible to ‘tune’ the radio-frequencies to provide the best results with any small product.
‘It is possible to heat a pie, a burger, a cup of soup or tea in quick time,’ he said.
While its still in prototype stage, so its up to test and feedback they get in their test markets before its launched overseas, but we can just feel that some China factories are reading this post and having ideas of their own. More about this at the Daily Mail.
Guinness is celebrating 250 years this September, believe it or not, and on the way to this historic landmark in beer history, they are releasing a special variant beer to mark the occasion. The interesting part here is that Hong Kong is one of only 3 market’s getting this special brew. Australia and the U.S., are the other 2! That pretty much says that Hong Kong is probably the largest consumer of Guinness in Asia.
To commemorate this remarkable anniversary, Hong Kong has become one of the three markets where GUINNESS 250 Anniversary Stout is being made available. The limited edition release will be available in the third quarter of 2009 in Hong Kong for a limited period. The commemorative stout is carbonated, not nitrogenated like the traditional GUINNESS Draught.
A bunch of pub events are going to be taking place throughout the Summer, no doubt at two of Hong Kong’s most infamous Irish pubs: Dublin Jack’s and Delaney’s! The new website is up now promoting this occaision so head on over and get into the Guinness. Will the Black Eyed Peas be coming back to Hong Kong to promote this? We’ll let you know.
