Angel81 1 Report post Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) LOL .. and I can't believe it myself too. Hehe, cos cooking is very minimal here -- there are days no cooking at all. Hmm, somehow being new to cylinder, there were times I quite scared running out of gas in the middle of cooking. Worse, when got guests. Same! I keep wondering if we still have gas in the tank anot. hehehee eh when you mentioned "design carpentry to hide the tank" hor what do you mean ah ? I can just design my kitchen cabinet with side door to throw the tank below the hob right ? No le I do not intend to have aircon in my living area, just my small room on the 1st floor le i think i will faint when the bill came if i install aircon in the living area le hahaha My mum did told me abt this but i din realised it's so expensive leh wah $150 just for a tank, faintz U r right for the kitchen cabinet. But get an extra shelf to put at the base of the cabinet. Easier for the gas pple to pull it out and wun damage ur cabinet. There are some people who do a shelf that can be rolled out for ease of changing the tank. correct me if im wrong. how come all of you using the cylinder and not considering the gas by pub? Then there wont be anymore cylinder occuping the space right? Or there's a disadvantage in using pub gas? There are still some areas that do not have govt gas. So we have to make do with cylinders. Not sure if it's true, but I'm told that pub will still charge a nominal rate for the gas even if one did not use for that whole mth. So cylinder gas has this one advantage over pub gas.

coffee_o 1 Report post Posted October 7, 2009 correct me if im wrong. how come all of you using the cylinder and not considering the gas by pub? Then there wont be anymore cylinder occuping the space right? Or there's a disadvantage in using pub gas? I've been using gas for the past 5 years in my previous house. Then change to induction hob after shifting. I love the induction hob cos it is sleek and nice, and easy to clean, cos after cooking, i just use a cloth to wipe across. Unlike the conventional hob whereby oil ands dirt tends to be hidden, and difficult to clean. Eh ? I called Citygas and they told me I can't use government pipe gas cos my block is not equipped with the piping so bo pian in fact i wanted to use government gas de Wah finally someone encourage using of induction hob hehehehe Btw dyleen on avg how much does an induction hob cost ah ? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know there are areas without govt gas. Learnt something today. I'm not sure about that nominal rate. But i do agree there are times i don't remember using gas, but was charged something, so i thought my gas leak?? and that's also the reason why i opt for induction hob. cos i'm so scared one day the cylinder will explode.

Angel81 1 Report post Posted October 7, 2009 and hor angel! why ur deposit so much? my old place deposit only $60 nia lei. i moved here, i bring along the gas head. hehe.. haha, i have no idea. Maybe now increase deposit price? Or diff co got diff deposit price? Or maybe I rem wrongly. wahahaha.. But I think it's around there lar. Or maybe that price include that gas head/installation/everything? I didn't know there are areas without govt gas. Learnt something today. I'm not sure about that nominal rate. But i do agree there are times i don't remember using gas, but was charged something, so i thought my gas leak?? and that's also the reason why i opt for induction hob. cos i'm so scared one day the cylinder will explode. Hee, ya loh. Then it's rather "bo hua" if u didn't use any and yet charged abit. But govt gas will save cabinet space and wun run out of gas suddenly. So I guess every option got good and bad lar.
