I went back home for Dumpling Festival Dinner. Have been awhile since I last time eat my mom's cooking. Bad son. Everyday not home wan. hahaha
Here are some of the shots of the food on that night.
My mom's Kwang Si Yong Tau Fu. Kwang Si is a province in China. That's all i know. The filling of the Yong Tau Fu got meat, peanut and vege (Kau Choi, in cantonese).
The the same filling is also stuff in the taufu and steam. Damn nice wei.
Then got sea cucumber mushroom chicken also. :D yummy!
Lastly, its the plain-cut chicken. (pak jam kei in cantonese). lol..dunno how to translate la.
Last Saturday went around KL to shoot some picture. Went with Kuan Ming. He uses Olympus E410 + Kit Lens + Wide lens + Telephoto lens also. Me? Sony A100 with kit lens only le. :(
Went around KL. Saw some nice plants and flowers. What else, shoot and snap.
I personally love the above picture. :D
The sun was very bright on that day. Many photos turn out to be underexposed. Sigh, dun even know how to make WB adjustment yet.
These are some of the flower shots. Got some more. Will post soon. Comments are welcomed. :)
Last week, I went to meet up with my old old old friends. Erm, not to say that they are old but it is that we have known each other since primary 1 or 2. If you can count, that would be about 15 years of friendship. Almost 1/3 of my life was with them. Hope you guys dun get bored of me. =)
Actually we meet up from time to time. But last week Brian came back from god-knows-where (I always thought that you are in Hawaii/Philippines). Mana tau, you told me you were in Hong Kong.
Hawaii /Philippines / Hong Kong people really can eat. Dude, you can finish a half chicken meal with 3 sidelines along with the muffins. :D
Oh, forgot to say, we makan at Kenny Rogers in Mid Valley.
This is what I have ordered. Quarter black pepper chicken with potato cubes, mashed potato and fruit salad.
We had a good chat.
Lastly, a group photo without me. :)
From left: Ban Choon (Joing Malaysian Royal Army now), Brian (going back to Hawaii in August) , Eunice (Hot chick lawyer-to-be), Chan (Doing networking in TPM).
At the end, another group photo with Brian's camera.
Oppss, a cute chick just walked passed. Can't help it. :D
Fuh..spend like 12 hours on this. Designed the header and edited the html codes from a free template. Did Lots of changes with it. I only keep the colour and font. :)
This post is dedicated to all my P105 friends who is currently in Glasgow, GB. I bet you guys all are freaking stressed up. All the best and 'jia you' ba!! Take a break and listen to this song. :D
After having laksa, we went to the Kek Lok Si Temple. It is actually walking distance from the laksa stall.
Walking or rather climbing the stairs is way more fun then driving up the place lo. You get to see stalls selling various stuff like clothes and most importantly you get to feed the little turtle there. Erm, it might not be little la. Some quite huge also.
Kek Lok Si temple is a huge place. You get to pai pai (pray) and its an amazing place to visit. The details on the walls are just so detailed. LoL, what am I talking. Aiyah, you all know la.
Now, you can even take the incline stairs to the bronze kuan yin statue. Just pay RM4. The money goes into the building fun of the temple too. So, why not la.
The view up there is just superb but I didn't get many shots cause it starts to drizzle already. Need to protect my baby ok.
That's the end of my Penang post (I hope, I might just find something out of it to blog about).
Penang trip is not complete without a visit to Gurney Drive. I was there on Monday night but sad to say that half stretch of gurney drive was closed on that night. ;(
Closed!! That means don't have my favorite food. Sigh. But I did had my great time there too. Half stretch also jadi la. Also got great food.
You pick then I fried for you. I wound never miss this especially the fried chicken skin!! ahaha, sure many of you will say 'eewww'. But it's damn nice ok? Not forgetting the pandan leave chicken.
This weird looking shell, I cant find in KL, not in any other place except here in gurney. Never eat before? Then must go try!! They provide chili sauce wan. Dip and eat lo!
Erm, I never order this. But it come with the shell wan wo. Is it suppose to eat together wan ah? Penang people, let me know. I dont care together or not. I just eat only. I like century egg also!
Erm, satay. Where can miss wan. hahaha. Chicken satay made by a Chinese stall. Nice!!
Lastly, a shot of the view from the Gurney Drive. After eat full full go walk walk. Agh, everyday like this can ah?
Saw it in -=[APRILCHERRIE]=-'s blog. I just cant stop myself from blogging it.
Zorbing is a BIG, fat, 3 ½ metre huge inflatable ball, round and bouncy, you jump inside it, it rolls and so do you. I haev always wanted to go to zorbing. Now, its here. Its in Malaysia. Its in KL!
There are two different ways to ride in a Zorbing, one involves getting wet and one doesn’t. Water in the hydro Zorbing Ball is to make the surface slippery so you slide rather than rotate with the Zorbing Ball. The Harness experience is designed as a more extreme ride as you are rotating. It involve strapping you inside the Zorbing Ball and water is added in with you. whoa!!
Up till now you all know what I am talking about or not?
See this video first la.
Zorbing is available in Lake Garden, KL.
Rate Per Person
Price: RM30.00(Dry)per ride rate excl. insurance coverage Up to 2 adult/kidsper ride Harness/Hydro
Price: RM40.00(Wet)per ride rate excl. insurance coverage Up to 2 adult/kidsper ride Harness/Wet
Okay, just one more food post before some post on the places that I have visited. Well, go to penang wo, sure go and eat Asam Laksa wan la. Many would agree if I say Penang produces best asam laksa in Malaysia, some say in Singapore or even Thailand. :D
One of the best place to have Asam Laksa is at the Air Itam market. Very near to Kek Lok Si temple.
Most of the time, this kaki lima would be full of people coming from all over Penang, or Malaysia and even Singapore to eat Asam Laksa.
The main secret lies within the soup. Well, I dunno what is the secret la. It just taste so good. I pay and makan only.
Its truly Asam Laksa at its best. Only RM2.30 leh. Where else you can find leh??! :D
Well, Penang is no doubt famous for its great variety of food. And, yes, this blog is about food. And, yes those in overseas, please hate me for posting about Malaysian food.
Anyway, I am kinda not very well lately so post gonna be a little slow.
My first pitstop for food is at this Hokkien Mee (or Prawn mee) stall in Machalister Rd.
Its called the Penang Prawn Mee King. Erm, the taste, damn nice la!! Take a look,
You guys got visit the cool blogs link on my sitebar before?
Got go to this 老查某 blog before ah? 老查某 is an old lady from Singapore who started acting in the movie Just Follow Law. I watched that movie already, so so funny leh!
This is her photo. Taken from her blog. You guys must be thinking, why I so free go blog on other people.
This is the story. When I was at penang, eating the sister's char kuew teow, got this old lady come and ask me, ' lim ham mik? (want to drink what?)'. When I turn my head up, I saw this.
This post was suppose to be later wan but this Yi Jie, act cute wo. Really beh tahan. So, I guess I have to gave in lo. Say wanna compare the macro shots of flowers wo. aiyah, yours very nice adi la. I mean the flower is nice. :p
so, I have to wake up at 9 and start posting. sigh...after this will have to continue my beauty sleep.
Botanical Garden got a lot of monkey. Erm, some can be quite fierce. They would come over and snatch your things especially food. At one point, I was worried that they come snatch my alpha away.
Its green everywhere. I just feel like roll on the green grass just like those in bollywood movie. But, its just after rain le. so cant lo.
Everything seems to be so beautiful after the rain.
Back from Penang yesterday late evening. Sorry guys, was too tired to blog about it. In fact, I am still tired till now. I was the driver for the whole trip. Well, having to recall for direction in the island of Penang and having to watch out for others skillful drivers in Penang was indeed tiring. Not to mention, I drove all the way back from Penang to KL without stop.
This trip got a bit different because I went with my family. Hahaha, my last trip with my family was probably during my form 4/5. It was Langkawi. That is all that I can remember.
I stayed in Hotel Malaysia. Well, it is not a super grand hotel but I enjoy the cosy environment and friendly staff. We opted for the superior room with 2 king sized bed and 4 breakfast. It was only RM122.
Hotel Malaysia is situated near the upper Penang Rd. It is very near to the night club hot spot in Penang. Got MoMo la, SS and many others. Right in front of the hotel also got the best sup kambing in Penang. Ahem, down penang road also got many entertainment outlet for single men. Got blond wan, black wan, asia and even ah kua also got. :D
I went to Kei Tak Sek in Kepong last two week. Not the first time in this place le. I was around Segambut area ma. So think go there to have a tea lo. This Kei Tak Sek got no air con wan and maybe because of this, its price is cheaper than the other outlet of Kei Tak Sek.
My favorite, waterchestnut corn dessert. Very hard to find wan lo.
The caption is self-explaintoryu. Great place to go! Anyone wanna bring me go some more?
After playing with the eggs, then we go to the Mountain Springs Pool.
Its a huge pool. Like Sunway Lagoon wan lo. The water is cold wan. Not hot at all. The later we go to the hot spring. Start from 20C to 40C. damn hot le, the 40C pool.
After that we, booked a private jacuzzi. So nice le.
Back to post about Cameron Highland. So, we left Cameron about 1pm, had our lunch half journey and head to this place, Sungai Klah Hot Springs Park.
Its the final destination before we head back to KL. How to go this place? Erm, from the highway, exit at Sungkai exit and you can see sign already. After you follow the sign half way, you may feel that those signs are leading you to nowhere cause to reach this place you actually need to pass by a malay kampung and oil palm estate. It is so remote that you couldn't even get telco service.
But, I can assure you. It is a nice place to be. Its like walking in the jungle then suddenly you found a Sunway Lagoon. Erm, picture about is not related but it is nice! :D
This is my first time to go to a hot spring. Its so damn hot ok?!
It's so hot that you can even boil your eggs! Imagine if you fell into that pool.
They even provide instruction on the timing for preparing the egg. Setengah masak (Half-boiled) is 2 minutes wor~!
Okay, back to Malacca. It has been awhile since I last post about food. So, now i going to post about great food in Malacca.
Breakfast : Malacca Tai Pau. Erm. I post before about this 'tai pau'. Sure will eat each time I go malacca. Aside from the pau, got endless choices dim sum also.
Lunch: The original chicken rice ball. This one no fake one. Hahaha. I mean, this is not the comersialize chicken rice ball. The rice ball is great. I ate like 8 of those.
After lunch dessert : Nyonya Durian Chendol. Walking down Jonker St. from the chicken rice ball stall, you can taste one of the best cendol in Malaysia. Some say (I also say) better than Teo Chew cendol in Penang Road. Erm, still a controversial issue la.
Evening Tea : Nyonya Dumpling From Jonker St., I went to A'Famosa and Padang Pahlawan, to snap snap. Then got this new, huge food court. Saw some dessert. Nice then order and try lo. Peanut 'porridge' not bad. Hardly can find in KL.
Then saw this stall selling the Nyonya Dumpling. I saw this dumpling from the TV show, Ho Jiak before. The stall got the 'Ho Jiak' sign and the picture of the uncle who made the dumpling from his home. Well, why not try it. Erm, not bad at all. But, I still like the nyonya dumpling that my aunt made. Still the best.
Dinner: more to come! Next post!
p.s. Sorry about the pictures problem yesterday. Hope this one will work. :D
