Yes all of you who stood up and claimed your identity as sons and daughters of Brunei… for those of you near and far who said “YES! I am anakbrunei too!”. This is for you:
My deepest appreciation to all who voted for anakbrunei.org! This was a voting game and the outcome is a result of YOUR votes! Terima kasih banyak2 anakbrunei sekalian!
It couldn’t have been a closer race! In the end, only one vote separated the winner and the runner-up! To those who made it to the top five, Shimworld, Sheshoots, Blindaseachother, and bro Ucingitam, well done! If anything, this whole exercise has pushed us all to work that little bit harder at our sites!
Big-up to DST Multimedia, Simpur, and the sponsors for the great prizes which provided the motivation and gives meaning to this award. Catch me on the Jenny M show tomorrow where I’ll be talking to Jenny about this big grin on my face!

Blue Eden has been around for quite some time but it has recently come under new management. The chef remains the same however, so we can be assured of the same tasty dishes which have been served all this while. Da missus and I decided to try out the new Blue Eden last weekend.
One of the most apparent changes was the al fresco seating area which was newly set up for smokers or those who wanted to dine under the stars. We however opted for the air-conditioned interior heheh. The interior is basically unchanged, which means I got the same “cramped” feeling. Perhaps there were a tad too many tables? or was it the arrangement of the tables? Either way, its probably worth looking at *hint hint* 
The new owners, Mr & Mrs S recommended a few “signature” dishes for us to try, starting with the pineapple fried noodles which was Mrs S’ favourite. Its a twist on the regular mee goreng as this one has pineapple added and uses a special sauce. The tanginess of the pineapple went well with the other savoury ingredients.
We also ordered the Blue Eden special barbecued chicken wings. These were absolutely delicious and it was easy to see why these were the first to run out every day! Nyummzzz! Then came the other very popular dish, fish and chips (which I forgot to photograph!). Nice succulent breaded dory fillets served with a side of chips. I was also keen to try to mango fish, another popular thai dish. The flavours of the mango fish were intense… sour, sweet, and salty all neatly balanced. Quite spicy too I might add!
