Genre Defining

There are games that changed how you play games. Ultima 4 changed the way role playing games are built and design. In Ultima 4, winning is not killing the big bad boss but winning is improving your own virtues of Honesty, Compassion, Spirituality, Valor, Honor, Sacrifice, Justice and Humility. Grand Theft Auto 3 changed the open world gaming concept. It created Liberty City as a world so alive and full with happenings that other gaming worlds looked mundane and boring and repetitive in comparison.

We would stop in KL and frequent this restaurant called Lai Foong. It's beside Bangkok Bank. I always ordered to fish ball noodle there. Something about Lai Foong's fishball is really addictive. I specifically love the 'flying saucer'. These days you can't really find a good fishball stall. The Teo Chew fishball chain just didn't do it. Until one day I found a fishball stall in a restaurant near my house. It's exactly like the one they served in Lai Foong! Taste the same. I think I must have eat this almost twice a week. I just can't get bored of it. If you like fishball, let me know and I can show you the way...
