Was suppose to do some work but what the heck, it's 10.00pm and by the time I logged onto the office network, it will be time to roll on bed. Anyway, I am quite pissed with him (my Project Manager) hence decided to do a bit of blogging to cheer self up.
Back when I first got my unit, Rain asked me what do I want for house warming, I told her I want a food cutter and I show her the below video. Now I know the actual name is a mandolin and this particular brand is Tupperware's Mandochef. Aunt has a less sophisticated one.
I can tell you I am a real sucker for adverts like this. Looked up for the product review and what it said was the usual mandolin limitations so nothing really stood out as bad design etc.. So the next I do was to check the price. Unfortunately the local Koala branch does not carry this range but the US one does and it's selling at Amazon for $89.99. Given the current exchange rate I can expect probably > $100.00.
Now it seems pretty pricey for a fancy mandolin and given the current weak RM we are talking about easily RM400? I hesitant to get Rain to buy me something that pricey. I won't buy me something that pricey. The last house warming gift that she bought for me was a set of Yogyakarta wooden statues that she bargained like crazy and manage to get it at a steal.
So I guess I'd better find a cheaper local option that can do basic slice and julienne. That should suffice for my cooking skills.
