Like:
The Planet Krypton
Story pacing, and the flashback of Superman teenage and childhood
Lois welcome Clark Kent by saying "Welcome to the planet" during the end of the movie
Superman KILL

Not Like:
Kryptonian speak English? so English is the common universal language speak among alien?
Disaster scene, room to improve
No Kryptonite? is ridiculous that superman weakness is Krypton atmosphere

My Thought:
When I saw the ending where Superman had to kill Zod as Zod had given Superman no choice, I was like "Wow", shock and twisted. Superman finally kill. I know the reboot of Superman movie is darker and more depress but the killing scene is a total mind blowing. Superman is always a symbol of Truth and Justice, but with such power Superman have, that's always a moment that Superman could have been selfish and use his power for something no good. I enjoyed the movie always highlighted that Superman power is a double edge sword, Superman Earth father, Jonathan Kent go to the extend that he scarify his life to tell Superman this message.
All in all, The Man of Steel is a great entertainment movie and at the same time give room and space for people to think about current issue. Must watch

Sabuti, A Burmese Traditional Food

I came across this stall at the restaurant opposite Pudu Plaza. A typical Chinese restourant selling typical Malaysian food, watan mee, porridge, pan mee, and etc. Then something caught me, some Burmese selling something call Sabuti. From far it look like porridge. When I get a closer look at it, it is soup, like the Indian ox tail or chicken soup. My curiosity tell me to try it. I sit down and order 1 portion. They serve with salt and MSG. An extra RM 1 you will get the fried beef with chili and onion, I warm you...is super hot..at least for my standard. After my first sip and I know why they serve the salt and MSG. The soup is plain, pretty plain in taste. One might enjoy it but not me. I prefer my soup to be a bit "spice". I added the salt and MSG and the soup taste better. Please note this is not a healthy way of eating soup. Don't try it too often :D The ingredient inside the soup, beef and corn. Simple but filling and I can understand why the soup i...

Alex, Marty,Melman, Gloria is setting up to their next adventure and this time the party landed on Europe. They meet new friends at the circus and enemy, the Paris animal control, and has been travel across France, Rome, London and and return back to the big apple, New York City, Central Park Zoo. Again, the movie bring us a lot of laughter and joy. Marty will always so some silly thing, Alex will always save the day will some silly move, and Gloria and Melman will always silly and in love. I love this movie because beside the fun and joy the movie bring, the movie will always carry a positive message of true friendship and family value. I think I like this sequel the most and really touch by the scene when the they return to Central Park Zoo, a place where they called home and realizing they don't fell they are at "home". They suddenly felt that they don't belong to the zoo, they really belong to the their new family at the circus. The circus is the place where...
