Fiesta Online

 

Fiesta online is full 3D cartoon fantasy MMORPG based on brilliant and dynamic cartoon style graphic images. You can choose from 4 classes: fighter, cleric, archer, and mage. The classes are well balanced. Each class has its strengths and critical weaknesses.

I've tried Fiesta for a few days, in a short time i manage to follow the quests and secret hiding places for treasures & bounty hunting. The Promotion Test and Kingdom Quests looks daunting but i think with fair amount of experience it will be easy to conquer. There is something that i find interesting, is that you might be able to find good items in the monsters you kill instead of the usual ones.

Fiesta Online is a very casual game. It is the type you would hop on for an hour here and there. If you are interested in casual gaming, look no further. Fiesta Online will grasp your very gaming soul, and you will love what this game has to offer. If you are new to MMO gaming this is a definite one to try!

Graphics & Character Design: Not bad 7/10
Battle system/Gameplay: Easy and yet challenging 8/10

Happy Dumpling Festival (端午节)

 


Duan Wu Jie (Rice Dumpling Festival) and Qu Yuan

Duan Wu Jie is a widely celebrated festival amongst the Chinese, to pay respect to the patriotic poet, Qu Yuan (pronounced as Chue Yuan). The legend involves a really long and complicated throne-fighting war and political history. But to make a long story short: Qu Yuan was an important minister back in Chu Kingdom in ancient China. He had been known for his loyalty for the emperor of Chu, and loved his country greatly. However, His Majesty had not taken Qu Yuan's advice seriously, and he eventually got himself trapped and captured in a foreign land by his enemies, which then lead to his own death.

Sad and angry at the corrupted, dying Kingdom, Qu Yuan tied himself to a big rock and threw himself into the River of Puo Luo. The people then made rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves and threw them into the river. They believed this would stop the fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. Some would even row down stream in a boat, beating drums and shouting out loud in the hope to scare the fish away (it was believed that it is how the Dragon Boat event is related to the festival. Since then, the 5th day of the 5th month in the Chinese calendar has been set as Duan Wu Festival to remember the incident. Although there were versions of legends and stories that indicate Duan Wu has existed way before Qu Yuan's death, the tradition still carries on. The rice dumplings (ZongZi) are glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, or other large leaves (lotus is one of the more commonly used leaves). You can find all sorts of different fillings in the rice: pork, roast pork, chestnut, egg, salted egg, mushroom, red bean, or just simply without filling. They could be just white rice dumpling (not pre-fried), or brown (pre-fried with soya sauce). Nowadays, you can buy Zongzi almost everyday of the year, in restaurants or hawker stores in most oriental countries such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore, and other Asian countries where large amount of Chinese reside.

MOS Burger, Singapore

My Rating for MOS Burger: (3/6)

57 57 57

One of my favorite places to go for quick food was Mos Burger. Mos Burger is a Japanese chain and seems to be a re-invention of McDonald's or Burger King through a very Japanese lens. Apparently, it is the second largest burger chain in Japan, after McDonald's.



Well, open the wrapper and the familiar smell of unagi greets you. It's a nice sized piece of Unagi in plenty of sauce sandwiched between two buns that are made out of rice. Take a bite into the juicy unagi and the rice cake seeped in unagi sauce.

As a burger it feels very healthy. I have always loved MOS burger!

Yakiniku (焼肉), meaning "grilled meat", is a Japanese term which, in its broadest sense, refers to grilled meat dishes. Yakiniku Rice Burger has a generous serving of not-so-lean beef strips sandwiched in between the best tasting rice patties.

Available all over Singapore.
