Where to buy arborio (risotto) rice in Pg/M'sia?

drq — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 01:07:29 +0800

Does anyone have any idea?

I've searched both Cold Storages and Tescos THOROUGHLY and Cold Storage has only the premixed risotto with seasoning (I would like to make my risotto from scratch) while Tesco doesn't have any at all

Also looking for Tipo 00 flour to make fresh pasta.

I wouldn't mind buying them online too, if I can't get them here. Any recommended online grocers specializing in such foods (eg. Italian food supplies) would be appreciated. Thanks!

[WTA] iPhone on Maxis - tracking your usage

drq — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 23:25:03 +0800

Hi all, I am new to Maxis iPhone (just subscribed and activated yesterday at 5.30pm). I have some questions, hope all you more experienced users out there can help answer.

1) Is there any way to track how many SMSes I've sent and how many minutes of outgoing calls I've made?

2) I've read the forum and seems like some people have had some problems with the billing of data charges. Since I activated my phone yesterday, I mostly used it at home on my WiFi, and only a bit on 3G for maybe less than 2 hours on and off (even then, it was for small stuff like Whatsapp, no streaming or surfing the web). When I logged in to Maxis online just now, I found that my unbilled amount was RM2.80 in less than a day!

I did not make any smses to non-maxis numbers, signed up for anything, received any smses starting with the number 2 or 3 which u have to pay for, or do anything, so I'm just wondering where this amount came from?!? I only made a couple of minutes of calls to my Maxis friends.

I called Maxis but they said they can't check the details until the end of the month after the bill is finalized. It's so stupid, how come DiGi lets us do that online but Maxis can't

I guess I just want to try to find out where this cost is being incurred so I can curb my usage in order to keep my bill within the monthly plan.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to the cause?
P.s. I turn of the cellular data when I'm on Wifi.

Thank u all for ur help.
