A really good article on Penang.
The name- Hungry Ranch may paint a picture, the concept is simple and straight-forward… dishing out quality grilled goodness while keeping prices affordable. The restaurant has been there for a while, their opening was slightly before the lockdown in May 2021. While their main focus remains in grilled meat, the menu extends to offer All Day Breakfast, Western Dishes as well as some Asian delights; they are currently revamping the menu and expecting to have more grilled goodness added to the menu. Regardless, staying affordable is one of their main strengths. It’s easy to locate Hungry Ranch, the restaurant can be found at Jalan Sungai Ujong, as soon as you turned in from Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong, you will find the restaurant shortly on your right.
Many Thanks to Hungry Ranch for hosting us.
Rib Eye Steak (Rm 34.90)
Grilled Lamb Shoulders (Rm 27.90)
Racher’s Wings with Sesame Dressing (Rm 15)
Creme Brulee (Rm 16)
For sharing, go for their signature Racher’s Wings… available in 2 different types of sauces. The Sesame Dressing carries a sleek sweetness backed with Sesame fragrance while the Diablo Sauce packs a spicy punch. Meat lovers would be glad to learn that Hungry Ranch offers quite a number of options when it comes to meat dishes. The Rib Eye Steak and Grilled Lamb Shoulders are some of the note-worthy dishes; while the side dishes are identical for both dishes, their home-made Mashed Potato is worth-mentioning… delicately salted and perfectly creamy. Using imported cuts from Australia, Hungry Ranch’s Rib Eye Steak offers great value. The hefty steam is carefully grilled and expertly seasoned, delicious on its own but even better with their home-made Brown Sauce. For dessert, Creme Brulee is a good choice- not overly sweetened but lusciously creamy.

An informative article on Malaysia.
The government is to resume the Malaysia My Second Home programme (MM2H) in October, after suspending it a year ago.
Home Ministry secretary-general Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz said the Cabinet decided on this at its meetings on July 14 and 30.
This was part of decisions made to improve policies under the national recovery plan (NRP) to kick-start the economy.
The MM2H programme was suspended for a review by the tourism, arts and culture ministry and related agencies following the Covid-19 pandemic.
“New applications will be processed and coordinated by the immigration department (JIM), beginning October 2021, after all related legal processes are completed,” Dahlan said at a press conference at the ministry today.
He said the government understood the concerns involving any influx of foreign nationals into the country through this programme.
“The government has agreed to set a ceiling for the number of participants (the principal and their dependents) at any one time. They would not be more than 1% of the population of Malaysia.
“The home ministry guarantees that only qualified participants, without past criminal records, will be allowed to take part in the MM2H programme,” he said.
He said 10 new criteria will be introduced under the MM2H.
Among them is a duration of stay of at least 90 days (cumulative) in a year, with an offshore income of at least RM40,000 a month, compared with RM10,000 before this.
Aside from that, they must have permanent savings of at least RM1 million, from which a maximum 50% can be used to purchase property, and take care of the health and education of their children.
He said the social visa pass will be valid for five years. This can be extended by another five years and beyond, so long as participants abide by the set criteria.
“Among the other criteria is a declaration of liquid assets of at least RM1.5 million.
“The pass fees will be raised to RM500 a year (from RM90). The processing fee will be set at RM5,000 for the principal participant and RM2,500 for each dependent.
“Pass renewals and any changes to the nationality of participants and their dependents will also be vetted for safety.”
Participants must also present a letter of good conduct for themselves and their dependents, Dahlan added.
He said, so far the top 10 countries with the highest number of applications for the MM2H programme are China (with 1,000 applicants), Japan (more than 200), the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, Korea, Singapore, the US, Australia, Taiwan and Indonesia.
However, Dahlan said people from certain countries were on the banned list due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

An informative article about Penang Malaysia.
When it comes to official customisation offerings such as Bentley’s Mulliner and Aston Martin’s Q, you’d usually expect something a little more extravagant, a little more flashy. But weirdly, that was not the case for Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’s latest work on the 911 GT3 Touring – not that we’re complaining, because this looks ace.
Instead of a flashy paint job, the company opted to go for a more understated stealthy exterior by blacking out everything – including a tinted glass cover over the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) headlights, and a set of Satin Black wheels measuring 20-inches up front and 21-inches at the back.
Porsche did more than just removing the big wing on the 911 GT3 Touring. Learn more about it here!
Not much else has been done to the exterior, but we think that it was the right choice, considering how good this already looks – especially with the wing delete of the GT3 Touring edition, making it the perfect car to fly under the radar doing high speed runs… not that we’re advocating for it.
Inside is where things get a little more interesting, with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur giving the 911 GT3 Touring a little splash of colour with a two-toned Lipstick Red and black combination upholstery.
Here’s another special Exclusive Manufaktur edition of the 911 GT3 Touring, specifically for Australia
Otherwise, the car is pretty much bog-standard: powering the GT3 Touring is the 4.0-litre flat-six turbocharged engine, good for 510 hp and 470 Nm of torque, which translates to a 0-100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 317 km/h. Buyers can choose between either a dual-clutch PDK or a six-speed manual transmission.
Not a fan of the black paint job? Don’t worry, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur is still a customisation arm afterall, so you can personalise your own car to your heart’s content when you place your order, with something maybe a little more unique like Meissen Blue.

A great article about Penang Malaysia.
With its wide variety of ingredients and steaming soup bases, Shu Da Xia Hotpot 蜀大侠火锅 is one of the alternatives to big Hotpot chains like Hai Di Lao and Xiao Long Kan. The new Hotpot restaurant is perched at the top floor of Karpal Singh Drive’s Automall, offering a nice sea view to diners. The menu is pretty much China Chinese-inspired, offering a wide variety of meat (and organ meats) as well as other popular Hotpot ingredients. Likewise, the layout is also quite “Chinese”; step in the place and you will be instantly transported to ancient China- with traditional Chinese knick-knacks and in shades of red. Service is top-notch but expect to pay a premium to dine-in here.
Collagen Soup (Rm 28) and Tomato Soup (Rm 28)
Australia Beef Rolls (Rm 36)
Octopus (Rm 29)
Home-made Rose Fish Balls (Rm 24)
Fresh Fish Slices (Rm 26)
Taichi Duo-Shrimp Paste (Rm 38)
Tofu Pok (Rm 6) and Beancurd Skin (Rm 8)
Tofu (Rm 6)
Boozy Soy Bean Pudding (Rm 6)
Our choice of soup bases were Tomato Soup and Collagen Soup; the former one was alright and carried a sleek sweetness with Tomato flavor while the latter one carried quite a bold Pork stench. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy the latter one. All other Hotpot ingredients were fresh; note-worthy ones include the Taichi Duo-Shrimp Paste and Fresh Fish Slices. The Taichi Duo Shrimp Paste has two flavors- original and spicy. Both were good and there were bits of the bouncy Shrimps in the paste. The price points are however, on the higher side. Expect to pay Rm 6 per diner for the sauces, appetizer and after-meal fruits. Price-aside, the overall experience and impression was good, probably we picked the wrong soup bases that did not suit our taste buds.
Meal Charge- Rm 6 per pax (including Tea, Sauces, a type of Side and Fruits)

A really good article about Malaysia.
A customer in Thailand has set a new benchmark in cashless payment with the purchase of an all-new Lamborghini via cryptocurrency.
According to a release by Zipmex, Jo Chirawat used Zipmex’s mobile app to put a downpayment in Bitcoin on a 2021 Huracán EVO RWD at Renazzo Motor Co. Ltd. in Bangkok, Thailand. The balance of the THB 20 million car is expected to be paid in Bitcoin as well. As of trading today, one Bitcoin is valued at THB 1.7 million.
This transaction with Zipmex is also the first recorded in Asia.
Zipmex is one of the leading digital assets exchange platforms in South East Asia and the fastest growing with a focus on providing retail and institutional investors with the tools and convenience to trade digital assets securely. It currently operates in Singapore, Thailand, Australia and Indonesia.
The partnership between Zipmex and Renazzo Motor allows the usage of Bitcoin (BTC), Tether USD (USDT), and Zipmex Token (ZMT). The ability to accept cryptocurrencies also expands potential in untapped customer segments for the supercar distributor.
As for the Lamborghini Huracán EVO RWD, the 5.2-litre V10 engine delivers 610 hp at 8,000 rpm and 560 Nm of torque. Drive to the rear wheels is via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and sends the Huracan EVO from standstill to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, taking another six seconds to reach 200 km/h.
Renazzo Motor has been the official sole importer, dealer and after-sales service provider for Lamborghini automobiles in Thailand since 2018. Meanwhile, in Malaysia, recently-appointed SunAgata Supercars is handling all sales and after-sales aspects of the brand.

An informative post about Penang.
Toyota Australia was one of the first markets in the world to begin order-taking of the exhilarating GR Yaris hot-hatch back in September 2020. The first 1,000 units of the regular GR Yaris was snapped up within a week, thanks to an incredibly attractive price of AU$39,950 (RM120,000) which equated to a savings of nearly AU$10,000.
Demand for pocket rocket has not waned, as Toyota Australia has now officially launched the Australia-special GR Yaris Rallye Edition, which sees an on-the-road price tag of AU$54,500 (RM172,000).
For context, a MINI JCW 3-door hatch retails for about AU$59,400, while in Malaysia, it is priced from RM295,000.
So, what does the extra AU$14,500 (or AU$5,000 if one placed the booking today, as the current pricing for the regular GR Yaris is now AU$49,500) gets you in the Rallye Edition? Similar to the Performance Pack variant offered by UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) priced at RM286,896, the GR Yaris Rallye replaces the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres to higher grip Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres paired with lightweight BBS forged rims, the addition of Torsen limited-slip differential (LSD) on both axles, as well as circuit driving-oriented suspension tuning.
Cooling ducts are also punched into the front bumper to cool the disc brakes and red-painted calipers, a feature unique only to the GR Yaris Rallye / Performance Pack edition. The locally-requested black-painted ‘RALLYE’ badge is stucked on the tailgate, together with a uniquely numbered GR Yaris Rallye plaque placed at the centre console.
Buyers can only select the Platinum white pearl as their exterior paintwork with the carbon fibre roof left untouched.
Inside, the Rallye comes with an enhanced JBL 8-speaker audio system. No changes are made to the GR-branded front bucket seats, wrapped perforated Ultrasuede and highlighted by red stitching.
As for the powertrain, the Rallye edition maintains the same 272 hp / 370 Nm 1.6-litre single-scroll turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine as the regular GR Yaris, propelling the hot-hatch from standstill to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds. These are higher outputs than the GR Yaris destined for Malaysia, with outputs of 261 hp / 360 Nm that slightly delays the century sprint time by 0.3 seconds to 5.5 seconds.
Also maintained from the regular GR Yaris is the GR-Four all-wheel drive system, with Normal, Sport and Track modes apportioning the same 60:40, 30:70 and 50:50 front-to-rear torque-split respectively.
While deliveries for Malaysia-bound Toyota GR Yaris Performance Pack have begun, buyers in Australia will need to be more patient, as those who place their order today will only get their cars next year. All good things come to those who wait, perhaps.
In Malaysia, the allocation of over one hundred units of Toyota GR Yaris Performance Pack has long ended. Apart from receiving one of the best hot-hatches made in recent memory, the first 65 lucky buyers from UMW Toyota Motor are also treated to a ‘Early Bird Package’ that consists of an exclusive helmet bag, a GR Yaris scale model and participation in a GR Yaris Driving Experience in 2021 to learn to enjoy the GR Yaris to the fullest.
In total, only 25,000 units of this homologation-special will be made at the GR Factory inside the Motomachi plant in Aichi, Japan. There is also no official breakdown of the split between Performance Pack / Rallye Edition and the regular GR Yaris.

An interesting article on Penang.
BMW will continue developing new petrol and diesel engines even though the company is embarking on an aggressive push for fully electric vehicles (EV), where all model series to include a fully electric option.
BMW Group CEO Oliver Zipse told the media that BMW had no plans to stop developing the internal combustion engines (ICE), as it was confident customer demands will continue for many years to come, as noted by CNBC’s automotive reporter Phil LeBeau.
The topic came into light, picked up by Australia’s Caradvice, after an announcement by Audi CEO Markus Duesmann that the carmaker owned by Volkswagen Group would halt the development ICE due to strict Euro 7 emissions standards that present a significant technical challenge. The company will instead adapt existing ICEs to meet stringent emission guidelines.
Audi, together with marques in the Volkswagen Group have a much larger portfolio of EVs already in the marketplace, whereas BMW only premiered their new i4 electric sedan earlier this week.
BMW has also announced that MINI is set to become an all-electric brand by the early 2030s. The transition will begin with the all-new Countryman slated for sales in 2023 and targets 50% of all new MINI sales to be EVs in 2027. MINI recently introduced their first EV with the Cooper SE that is built on the current F55-generation hatchback, available in Malaysia priced from RM214,371.
ICEs will remain popular and default choice for carmakers for continuous revenue and funds for investment into better EV technology. In a recent presentation by Kia Motors, EVs are estimated to only make up 34% of global new vehicle sales in 2030. Analysts forecast that China will be the leading market, with nearly half of new vehicles delivered are fully electric, with Europe just a few percentage points behind.
In the US, demand for ICE (with and without electrification) is still expected to be strong at close to 80% of the market.
