Aware of the Plastic Bottles

Did you ever aware of the triangle symbols on the bottom of plastic bottles with a number inside?



The triangle symbols with a number is stand for:
1) Polyethylene terephalate (PET)
2) High density polyethylene (HDPE)

3) Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) or Plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PPVC)

4) Low density polyethylene LDPE

5) Polypropylene (PP)

6) Polystyrene (PS) or Expandable polystyrene (EPS)

7) Other, including nylon and acrylic


Most of the plastics used are toxic and the chemicals that used to create a plastic can leach out of the plastic and into the food or drink.

For your information, the worst ones are 3, 6 and 7. Try to avoid from using any product with these number.

The Plastic Coding System:
Check out the chart below that breaks down the plastic, its uses and chemical makeup.

Smoky Jack Ribs and Steak House (Cont)



Today, we went to Smoky Jack for lunch again. This time we managed to try the "Smoky BBQ Pork Ribs" and "Grilled Cod Fish". For your information, they only served 10 portion of the Smoky BBQ Pork Rib for daily lunch set.



Today they also have a new look menu, a more classy menu than the previous menu.



Set Lunch A (RM15.80++)


Set Lunch B (RM18.80++)


Set Lunch C (RM23.80++, RM25.80 & RM28.80)


This time we choose to sit by the tunnel side, a totally different environment.


As usual, they served us mushroom soup and bread for set lunch ordered.


Grilled Cod Fish (RM18.80++)
As you can see, the portion of cod fish is quite small. So, never order this if you are starving.


Smoky BBQ Pork Ribs (RM18.80++)
The pork ribs is cooked for 3hours and 20minutes, and I can feel the pork ribs is very soft for the first bite. The pork ribs is fully coated with the taste of the special sauce as well. Just I think it would be much better if they can served it with more sauce.

At first, my dad want to try their Smocky BBQ Pork Ribs & Grill Cod fish, but the waiter said this two set was not available for today. Sigh... So, finally we ordered the Hungarian Baked Chicken, Grill Salmon and Australia Rib eye.


The bread served are quite crunchy and it's very soft inside. For starter, you may choose either soup of the day or salad. Well, i feel that the mushroom soup is very creamy and tasty. Must try!


Hungarian Baked Chicken


Grill Salmon


Australia Rib Eye (medium-well: cooked 70%) The steak was very tender and juicy, just i feel that the gravy was not enough.


Dessert (The sponge cake served was so so only. Personally I like the dessert (set lunch) served by Salsa.
