Will Facebook Says Good Bye To Us Forever?

2011-01-11T15:56:00.003+08:00

Will Facebook end on 15th March 2011? Is that true or just rumors?

Owner of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg said that, facebook has gotten out of control amd become too stressful to manage. Because of that, he decided to close Facebook rather than lose the million to billion bucks! He said that he don’t bother about the money and just want to live as normal as old time, he told reporter this when asked about money.

No one confirm if this is true or false. I can’t imagine life without Facebook as I am a huge fan to Facebook and addicted to it. I am a freak to facebook!! If can, I will keep my Facebook ON 24 hours. I like to update my recent status, give walls to my friends, post pictures that I would like to share and check out photos like I always do in the past years since I signed up Facebook account few years ago. Besides that, I also created an account for my online business and actively post status and share with my customers whenever there is new update. Facebook really become a part of my life! I believe tons of people are just like me. Right?

When I goggled, it says that the Facebook Corporation suggests that all users to remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links and video will be permanently erased.

Are you agree if Mark Zuckerberg to close Facebook permanently?

2011 New Year's Resolutions

2010-12-29T22:48:00.004+08:00

As the old year ends and a new year starts, many people make new year resolutions. The start of a new year is a time for reflecting back on the previous year as well as a time for looking forward. I love the feeling of stating a fresh year and optimistically making a long list of things i want to accomplish.

In every countdown to new year, i would be thinking about the things i have achieved over the past year and the things i would like to achieve for the next. This year, not being exceptional.. I jotted down a list of goals but it looked like just another 'to-do' list in a never-ending succession of to-do lists that i could never quite complete (except for 1-2 goals). As age is catching up, my resolution list is getting shorter and shorter. Perhaps i have no emotional engagement in these goals anymore.. Maybe also lack of hopes..

This year i decided to focus on my emotion and internal motivations. I am asking myself: How do i want to feel? What do i want to be? Once i can identify it, i can make daily choices that steer me towards them. Adjectives rather than nouns and verbs. I don't want to make it too complicated and it stress me out!

Did you make any new year's resolutions or goals? If yes, what would they be?

Happy New Year!

L.O.V.E

2010-12-13T13:05:00.003+08:00

Love hurts. I think majority of people in this earth experience it. Including myself.. So when i read the recent hot news on newspaper after the day i flew back from my Hong Kong trip, it shocked me! Alviss Kong, born 22nd May 1988, committed suicide in the wee hours of by jumping off the 14th floor of Ketumbar Heights, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur after succumbing to emotional distress brought about by the breakup with his girlfriend. Love not only hurts him, it kills! I don't understand why he chosen this way.. Suicide is not the best solution! After a while, people will forget about this and their life still goes on.

Who to blame? Some said he is stupid, ended up his life for a girl that left him for another guy. Not worth! Some blamed his girlfriend for being so cruel. I think there is no right or false in relationship. Love is selfish. One might be happy and one might be hurt. You have to get ready that love is no promise, no guarantee, no forever!

Love is blind. Yes it does. But you will reliaze you have done so many stupid things when you really wake up.

When i am in love, i will completely give it all to the one i loved. But it doesn't mean love is everything! Before we do anything, please think about our beloved family, those who love and care about us. Always remember nothing is so special than ourself! Life is precious! Please appreciate life!

Just An Apology... Not Asking For Any Forgiveness

2010-12-01T15:53:00.003+08:00

I am not sure if i am being overly hurt your feeling.. No matter what is this, things has been done, words has been said. I sincerely apology on whatever i did.

Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar, The Gardens

2010-11-23T10:37:00.016+08:00

If heaven is found on earth, Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar must be it... Why i said so? You can find the answer below... Ding! Ding! Ding!!

Isn't it so heavenly? From the place to the food here... I just couldn't 100% completely describe my feeling.. I and Steven felt extremely privileged to be invited by our wonderful friend – Melissa and her handsome hubby, David to their wedding dinner at Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar at The Gardens, Kuala Lumpur couple of weeks ago.

It was such a truly wonderful, romantic and enjoyable evening!

This well-known restaurant offers a relaxing, laid back environment where you can really enjoy great food. When the amount of patrons are few the service is just fantastic. The nighttime dinner hours present quite a nice romantic scene. Menus here vary toward more international types of food. Lamb, beef and pasta dishes are considered a steady staple here at the Sage.

The atmosphere here is wonderful, casual and relaxed but very classy, aided by the simple and uncluttered decorations. The floor-to-ceiling windows ensure plenty of natural light pours in and the simple yet classy decor lets the food and any discussion you wish to partake in at your table make the experience.

The semi-open kitchen breaks up the quiet sophistication.

Here is the food prepared by Chef Daniel:

Every piece of food is prepared with utmost fine

Cream of Cèpe Mushroom with Sea Scallop and Truffle Oil. A cold and creamy soup with slices of raw scallop.

Crispy of Smoked Norwegian Salmon with Avruga Caviar

Roasted Marinated Cod with Foie Gras and Mushroom Raguot

Herb Crusted Lamb Rack with Aubergine Garlic Confit

Mijoté of Wagyu Beef Cheek with Mashed Potato and Red Wine Sauce. Cooked perfectly, it melted in my mouth. The mash potato was smooth and creamy, infused with truffle oil, and doused with natural meat juices.

Chocolate Torte with Almond and Vanilla Ice Cream

Mango Sorbet

Having a cuppa gree tea in this modern elegance with delectable French & Japanese nouvelle cuisin restaurant quite enjoyable! :))

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAR 'LIL BRO - WEN BIN

When Love Became Faded...

2010-11-04T12:22:00.004+08:00

Recently I heard so many stories about friend’s being break off, divorce in their relationship. I think all these caused of someone love’s has faded! Whenever I heard story related to this, my feeling extended to very emotional. Because that would be the utmost sad thing to happen to those who got hurt. Of cause me too, I scare one day it might happen to myself. Despite on that, what could I do? Prevent, take extra caution towards my own relationship? How?

Sometime, I ask myself.. Why does love.. fade? I don’t believe love faded in just second. I think it is accumulated from time to time and finally burst. Oft time love fades because of issues in relationships that cannot be resolved and the two people find themselves going in different directions. As they progress going in their separate ways, they find they don't have anything in common with their partner anymore and the relationship they once shared begins to flounder. When two people stop communicating in a relationship and they discontinue their efforts to show affections and love for each other, they find there's a big void in their lives and they become unhappy with each other. This can cause partners to agree to go their separate ways and end their relationship.

Many times love fades because the two people drift apart because one goes one way and the other another. Love must be nurtured and their needs to be time together to communicate and to appreciate each others views and to share their desires. Any love will fade if it is not properly given attention and an effort is taken to keep the spark a live. Love waits for moments of companionship, loving, communicating, excitement, and the miscellaneous things that causes the soul to stay alive. Never take love for grant, because if you do, you'll find a fading love.

I really hope everyone could appreciate to what have right now and never do anything that could hurt our love one or you might regret one day. By the time… It is too late!

The interior decoration is simple yet relax with green color as the restaurant theme.

I ordered a bowl of Fried Fish Head Meehoo (RM9.50). Without milk. It comes with tomatoes, salted veggies and of couse fish head. The fish head was ok. But the soup was rather too salty. I thought i was the only person who thought so, but i heard a middle age couple sitting beside us has also complained the soup too salty. The man told the waitress about this and hope she can inform this to the chef.

Steven don't like fish, he ordered Fried Hor Fun instead (RM10.80)

十全十美

2010-10-11T11:43:00.005+08:00

其实，十全十美的好男人，好女人是不存在的，还是面对现实吧！生活中那一个能够疼你爱你，与你同甘共苦，与你相依为命的另一半，就是最完美的人。

不要力图去做一个十全十美的人，这即不现实，也不可能，还会令自己活得很累。

Restaurant BBQ Soon Heng, Kota Kemuning

2010-10-04T11:32:00.009+08:00

Me and Steven was thinking where to go for our breakfast before heading back to our hometown. When I concentrated to find a restaurant, i saw there was a new restaurant. So we decided to try it.

Restaurant BBQ Soon Hing is the latest branch in Kota Kemuning. There have another three branches all located in Puchong.

You will find more than twenty over types of noodle to choose. Here I want to explain is majority noodles serve here are the same type of noodle, which is Wanton noodle. But they are providing customer varies choices on the ingredient that customer to like. I can’t recall all the menu as this is my first time here. What I can remember is their Roasted BBQ duck wantan noodles, ‘pai ku’ wantan noodles, roasted pork wantan noodles are quite famous. Customer also can buy their famous roasted BBQ duck and tapao home to eat. Buy the whole bird or half, your choice.
For convenient purposes, menu is displayed up on wall with the nice picture and price stated on it. However you may still require a hard copy of menu from the waiter if you want because they didn’t display the drinks on wall.

All four barnches has printed on the menu..

Steven ordered this.. Can't recall the name in English, all i know is pai ku noodles..

The chunky bits of pork ribs are tender and i like the way they marinated it with BBQ sauce.

I have ordered Chicken Curry Wantan Noodles.

Taste wise, it was ok. Noodles were fresh and not soggy. But Steven said the chicken needed more marinated. Hmm!

爱情之间的相处之道

2010-10-04T09:37:00.002+08:00

两个相爱的人在一起，难免一方习惯性给予善意的警告和关心的唠叨。但是太多或过度了，接受的一方不会再觉得贴心，而是压力和厌烦。其实，最重要的相处之道是：尽量给对方欢喜。如果能够成为讨人开心的喜鹭，就不要抢着做令人讨厌的乌鸦。

沉闷的爱情

2010-09-29T09:43:00.003+08:00

两个人的相处，绝对不要因为在一起久了或结婚了，就不再在意两人之间的互动。让感情升温的诀窍，除了常常沟通之外，还要让对方感受与你在一起一直都有一种挑战以及惊喜。

多动点脑筋不是为了他，而是为了自己......

iPhone 4 - DIGI's Carnival At Quill 9, Petaling Jaya

2010-09-27T16:15:00.007+08:00

DIGI has thrown an iphone 4 carnival at Quill 9, Section 14, Petaling Jaya last weekend. The day before, I was too excited as I have been waiting for the iphone for so long.

It started 10am till night on Saturday and Sunday. We reached Quill 9 at 10.30am. Many people already thronged into the mall! It was indescribable crowded!

Car park was free both inside and outside the building. It was my first time been to Quill 9 although I am staying so nearby to the area. It was kinda weird when I first encountered that DIGI a telecommunication company having a carnival inside an automobile centre. Haha!

I was extremely upset and disappointed when the promoter told me that all numbers has finished for 1st batch (morning) as there was 2nd batches open for public. And advised me to go to the nearest DIGI centre in SS2 or else wait for the 2nd batch by 4pm. So I took their advice and went to SS2 with hopes. I was surprised when I reached SS2 branch as there were not many customers. I saw a ang mo promoter there and quickly checked with her. Unfortunately she told me all iphone 4 at the branch has finished for that day and asked me to return on Sunday. I told her I can’t as I wouldn’t be in town on Sunday. Then she asked me to wait so that she can check for me. Too bad.. She returned with bad news! L I also asked the ang mo lady how come she can’t let me sign up on that day since there were not many customers. She mentioned that they have limited stock for each branch, many customers from Quill 9 came there too. These people were just like me. And they got the same answer too. According to the ang mo lady, those customers successfully registered were those who waited from 6.30am at DIGI’s doorstep.

I nearly gave up, pity Steven for accompanied (he reached Malaysia very late on Friday’s night and slept late then woke up early morning just to accompany me). So I suggested going for brunch (as both of us was rushing and skipped breakfast). We decided to go to Restaurant Paramount Garden.

It was 12pm by the time we finished makan, I told Steven i wanna try for a last chance. So Steven drove me over to Quill 9 again. But the promoters told me to come back by 330-4pm. The reason given was they will only distribute numbers at 4pm. So coincidently I saw Minny and her beloved hubby were there too. We went for drinks while waiting for time to pass.

By 3pm, we came back again. Very unfortunately, we were told by the promoter that they are not able to give out the number as there were still too many customers (1st batch) and they can’t promise if there is any iphone left by the 4pm. Walao!! I was so mad but control my temper. I mean what can I do? They suggested me to go to SOHO, Solaris. I was told that there were still have iphone left. I don’t know if I wanna trust them anymore. I was so tired and disappointed! However, Steven still drove me all the way from PJ to SOHO, Solaris.

Thanks God! I started to believe ‘never give up until your last breath’! When I heard the promoter said ‘YES, we still have iphone 4, 16GB’.. I was jumping here and there like a small little girl! Lol

It took about ½ hour for the whole process and I finally I got my long awaited iphone 4!!!

Because of this, I got a lesson. If you really looking forward for a particular thing, go as early as you can when there is having in such giant event / launching no matter how long you have to wait. You’ll feel that is so worth it when you really got the thing! The feeling is INDESCRIBABLE!!!

For those who got your iphone 4, I would like to congrats you and welcome to the iphone 4’s world! Enjoy your baby!! :)

Restaurant Famous Seremban Favorites, Sunway Mas Commercial Centre

2010-09-19T22:16:00.004+08:00

When i first read about this restaurant via Vkeong's blog. I was too excited of the restaurant name - Famous Seremban Favourites! I am a Serembanian and obviously i get excited and happy to see my hometown local delicacies selling in the big city of Klang Valley.

From outside of the restaurant, you might find it a quite nondescript looking shoplot. Especially when they're close. The restaurant's gate fulled of 'Along' sticker!

I have read many food bloggers mentioned that this is a very busy restaurant, etc.. etc.. True enough! The restaurant was thronged when we reached. Service was pretty slow, guess someone must have a very good patience to come here during peak hours.

There are many dishes avaialble here. You can opt for chicken rice or selecting one of the few types of noodles to go with the Char Siew.

I ordered one medium sized plate of Char Siew to share with my colleague as both of us ordered Hakka Mee.

With the fat and the lean part nicely defined and balance, the BBQ pork was tender, well-marbled, the sides of the Char Siew were well charred and nice portion of glistering caramelized coating on it. I tasted the smell of the smoking charcoal too. No doubt they are famous for its Char Siew. But hor, somehow i felt something was missing of the Char Siew, hard to explain. It is lacked of the taste that i wanted. I still prefer the Ming Kei Char Siew in Glenmarie, cos it gave me the expression 'melts in your mouth' when i took a first bite of the Char Siew!

Medium Size Char Siew (RM12), one person portion (RM6)

The caramel sauce is not poured over on the Char Siew like other places, but was given on small plates.

To me, i think Char Siew and caramel sauce must paired together always.

Roasted Chicken (RM6) for one person portion. Chicken was so-so only.

I noticed more people ordered Hakka Mee rather than rice. I am a Hakka Mee fan.. So i decided to go for it.. :)

Hakka Mee (RM3.80-small) and (RM4.80-Big). Their noodles are kinda like homemade noodle. Very fresh and tasted great! I love it!

This is an ideal great place for a satisfying meal with good taste and impressive varieties to choose from. Not like other Char Siew restaurant, only serves their signature dishes such as Char Siew or chicken.

Fish & Co, 1 Utama

2010-09-17T11:23:00.006+08:00

This is not my first time in Fish & Co, 1 Utama. The last time I been here was probably last year.

It was Ramadan on that day. We reached by 6pm. Many tables already reserved for buka puasa.

We ordered a Seafood Platter for two and Mussels with Garlic & Lemon Butter.

In conjunction of Ramadan month, the restaurant added Air Bandung in their drink menu.

The mussels cooked with garlic and lemon butter is our must order dish ever time we come here. The sauce really opened up our appetite. I just couldn’t stop dipping the baguette in the sauce. Steven said the New Zealand mussels were good too.

Mussels with Garlic & Lemon Butter Sauce. (RM12.90)

The baguettes were quite hard this time. Standard dropped!

Tartar sauce and Tomato sauce

Seafood Platter for two topped with lemon butter sauce and some parsley, and served with chips.The fish was crispy on the outside, enclosing its soft and flaky flesh.It goes well with the lemon juice and tartar sauce. However, the calamari rings were way below standard as it was served in cold and not crispy.

Seafood Platter for two (RM47.90)

I must say the food portion was pretty huge, but in food presentation wise, it isn't that appealing. Price are reasonable.

Dare To Love..

2010-09-14T16:50:00.004+08:00

“Cinderella walked on broken glass, Sleeping beauty let her whole life pass by, Belle fell in love with a beast, Pocahontas risked her life for a feast, Jasmine could have had anyone but she chose a poor man, and Ariel, she walked on land.”

So many people dislike fairytales because it makes us believe in love, believe that a prince will swoop down and save us when something goes wrong. But I’ve come to realise that in every fairytale-like movie, every girl took a risk. Took a risk for love, took a risk in the name of love.

So, how do we know if our own fairytale won’t really happen if we don’t try, if we stop believing in love? I know it’s hard for some of you to put down their guard and to learn to trust someone else sometimes.

I know because I’ve been through it. People like us, we distance ourselves from people we genuinely like just because we are afraid to get hurt. But does building up these walls ultimately saves us from hurting?

It doesn’t.

We’ve got to know that these people, the people we are blocking out because of our own insecurities, will leave someday too. Leave for something better. Everyone will cause you pain and hurt and tears, but you have to decide who’s worth it. And when you make that decision, happiness will come to you. =)

Madam Kwan's Restaurant, Suria KLCC

2010-09-14T11:48:00.006+08:00

I'm sure lots of people know the famous Nasi Lemak from Madam Kwan, it's one of their in-house specialty which is well known to all.

Madam Kwan is local franchise brand and it's spreading out 5 branches across famous shopping mall around Kuala Lumpur. If you are looking for a nice place to try out Malaysian local dishes, Madam Kwan is the perfect place although the prices are a bit pricey. I would call this restaurant a high-end hawker restaurant! They have all sorts of Malaysian food from their famous nasi lemak to Chinese style chicken rice to Indian style fish head curry and local desserts. Good place to bring friends from abroad to sample local cuisines!

The restaurant has an upmarket look but without trying to be too pretentious, walking a fine line between Asian and Western style decor. The waitresses and waiters are all smartly dressed and guests are served with glasses of strawberry scented cold water.

I, mom and Joanne visited their branch restaurant at KLCC after we have done our shopping. This is my second time in Madam Kwan's. It's located at the 4th floor of Suria KLCC. It was early evening, I noticed that the place wasn’t packed with many people. However I saw a group of people were talking to the waiter, and the waiter was flipping a reservation book and tried to made reservation for them. No doubt, because it was Ramadan. Customer needs to make prior booking to dine in for buka puasa. We were lucky, as the waiter allowed us to go in because it was still early (around 5.30pm).

As I mentioned, most of the foods served in Madam Kwan are very local delights and It's not exactly a cheap place for food. I can get a plate of Nasi Lemak less than RM6 but why people still go to Madam Kwan for Nasi Lemak? For sure have a reason mah.. When tons of people said the Nasi Lemak in Madam Kwan is good, then it must be really good, earning the good reputation!

The rice was absolutely delicious, fragrant and not too oily! The sambal ikan bilis and curry chicken was very good too, complement nicely with the rice. Adding the sambal ikan bilis and curry chicken into every spoon into your mouth boost up the sensation. I really don’t know how to describe it, try out yourself. I love it and you might probably love it too!

The Madam Kwan's specialty Nasi Lemak (RM15.30). The rice was fragrant alright and not too oily. Served with curry chicken, sambal ikan bilis, dried shrimp floss, and hard boiled egg. Acar (Nyonya styled salad) that's served together with the Nasi Lemak.

Char Kway Teow (RM15.90). It consisted of flat rice noodles fried with chicken, bean sprouts, sotong, egg and crunchy prawns.

Spaghetti Alfrado (RM18.90) This Spaghetti Alfrado is served with turkey ham and in white sauce. Simple it may look but my mom said it is good and the white sauce was really rich.

♪♫•.....I like dessert.......•♫♪

It is a MUST order dessert in Madam Kwan's! CENDOL!!

STEP 1:

Their gula malacca tastes sooooo good!!

STEP 2:

Pour the Gula Melaka on the Cendol..

STEP 3:

Cendol (RM6.50) mixed with thick gula Melaka and Santan! Thumbs Up!

Boston, Seremban - Kampua Mee

2010-09-13T14:58:00.004+08:00

I went to Boston again. This time i have tried their new menu - Kampua Mee. I am not sure this is their very latest menu, i assumed it is as i din't see it when i last visited since June 2010.

S0me people might mistakenly thought that 'Kolo mee' and 'Miri dry mee' is not the same. Either in the name or the taste. Like the sibu one is call "kam pua" mee. Actually they are the same.

Kampua Mee (RM6.90) It was a simple dish of noodles topped with some fish cakes, a few stem of vegetable and a sprinkling of spring onions, and served with a bowl of soup with 3 meat balls. I simply like it because the noodles was very crunchy even though it was quite plain.

Joanne ordered Roti Canai (RM2.95). It was quite crispy.

Please see review that i have blogged couple of months ago.

Yin Keh Lou (迎客楼), Sunway Pyramid

2010-09-13T10:01:00.013+08:00

I planned to treat mom a nice dinner on her first day in KL couple of weeks ago. We moped around before deciding on Ying Ker Lou (迎客楼), Sunway Pyramid.

The Ying Ker Lou chain of Hakka cuisine restaurant seem to be doing pretty well and their branches has been mushrooming in Klang Valley. Four outlets located in prominent shopping malls in Klang Valley: The Curve, Pavilion, Sunway Pyramid and The Gardens.

Actually this is my first time here. I found their dishes very close to home-cooked food.

Immediately as soon as we sat down, a complimentary steamed ground peanuts was served. From the picture, you can see they served good quality large sized steamed ground peanuts. When the bill came, we got to know that the so called complimentary peanuts were actually not a complimentary after all. It costs RM3. Aiya, I forgot this world where got free lunch one? Right? Hmm, you eat and you pay!

Peanuts (RM3)

When we looked at the menu, three of us were blurred as we are not familiar of Hakka cuisine / food. Except those most famous one such as Lei Char and Hakka Yam Abacus Beads. However, the menu was easy to read with beautiful photos depicting and Chinese – English explanations.

Japanese Green Tea (RM4). It can be refilled.

Lei Cha (擂茶) is one of the must-try dishes for Hakka cuisine. Here you will be given a choice of brown rice or white rice to go Lei Cha with variety of cooked vegetables, bean curd, peanuts, white sesame seeds and fried shrimps (very crispy, NICE!). I find that those ingredients given to add in our Lei Cha was very fresh! The most important element of Lei Cha is the soup which is pounded from a comportment of tea leaves and herbs. The soup will be poured into the vegetables and rice and it is best to eat it immediately. Taste wise, it was great! The mint taste wasn't very strong which is quite acceptable to most people especially me as I always hesitate to eat this dish because of its strong mint taste. It is a nutritious meal and after tried the Lei Char here I immediately felt in love with it. The serving portion was quite big but we managed to finish it as three of us were sharing.

Hakka Pounded Tea, aka Lei Cha (擂茶) (RM13.90)

I simply love it!

Hakka Yam Abacus (算盘子) (RM17). Made of steamed yam, mashed and mixed with flour. It was stir fried with mushrooms and Wood Fungus ( Moo Er) and Dried Shitake Mushrooms. I found the dish quite insipid me and it does not tasted as good as I expected.

Hakka Yam Abacus (算盘子) (RM17)

Hakka Sauteed Assorted Mushrooms (客家炒野菇) (RM18)

Claypot Tau fu with minced meat and egg was actually made us quite disappointed as it tasted very salty and it has kinda weird smell.

Tofu with Ground Pork (瓦煲肉碎豆腐) (RM18)

☆

♪♫•.....Here is the dessert.......•♫♪

Potato Ginger Soup (姜糖番薯糖水) (RM6)

Rice Dumpling Sesame Soup (芝麻糊汤圆) (RM7)

☆

♪♫•.....Picture Time.......•♫♪

Me & mom

Joanne & mom

White rice was RM2 a bowl. Everything here is NO MSG as stated on the menu. I think this is one of the reason people keep coming here despite on the high sky price!

We are so stuffed and fullfilled after the dinner. Hopefully i can come here soon again to try other dishes. It's not cheap and i think the prices are a 'lil steep! It's definitely not an everyday Chinese restaurant but i would come here once a while when i have the crave for Hakka food.

EAT-ZY Teow Chew Porridge & Rice, Sunway Mas Commercial Centre

2010-09-09T11:59:00.008+08:00

I am not a porridge fan. When I was a little girl, I used to think that porridge is only eating when I am ill. Porridge is waterly, tasteless or whatever.. I just I don’t like it. When I grow older, I was introduced to makan Teochew porridge by a relative. I was surprised there were many types of dishes to go with it.

In the olden days, when one mentioned about teochew porridge, side dishes like pickled lettuce, salted duck egg and salt fish will automatically come to mind. However, as days passed by, people tend to add more varieties on it.

Me and colleague came to this not so outstanding Teochew porridge and rice restaurant in Sunway Mas Commercial Centre here. We found a table outside so that my colleague able to take beautiful picture with natural light! (He is a photography freak, man!!! Lol) Despite I was feeling very hot and sweating, but worth it! Because I quite enjoyed the food here and can’t bother much of the hot weather! Haha!!

Dishes that we picked.

Fried Chicken (RM2)

Veggies (RM1.50)

Fish (RM3) cooked with beancurd sauce.

Egg (RM1.50)

MATTA Fair, KL 2010

2010-09-09T10:20:00.005+08:00

I went to MATTA Fair which held in PWTC from 3rd – 5th September 2010. There were thousands of people are pouring into PWTC for this one of the most event of the year! The travel fair comprised of halls 3, 2 and 1 at PWTC with over 890 booths. Admission fee was RM3 per visitor. The National Tourism Organizations of Australia, Korea, Taiwan, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Japan and Turkey have taken part in the fair too.

Betty's Midwest Kitchen, Aman Suria Damansara

2010-09-08T12:05:00.009+08:00

Betty’s Midwest Kitchen is a family run restaurant. Started since October 2009. From outside, you won’t be attracted by this restaurant as the exterior just very common. I always believe that look does not matter, the food matters the most! And Betty’s Midwest Kitchen has proved it to me this statement is true! Sources said that Betty is the owner and chef of the restaurant. Betty picked up the homely Midwest American heartland recipes from her daughter who is married to an American mat salleh. This restaurant serving mainly porky food with reasonable price. It is advisable to book for lunch and dinner as capacity in the restaurant is limited.

From the menu, I noticed that this place serves all sorts of pork dishes, ranging from ribs, sausages, bacon, ham, meatloaf and many more.

The menu is quite extensive with very detail explaination.

Normally I feel American food is pretty huge portion and filling. But in Betty’s Midwest Kitchen, food serves in medium portion and you won’t feel too greasy or meaty.

Here is the food that we ordered!

I had the Sloppy Joe (RM 12.90), a dish of ground pork, onions, sweetened tomato sauce or ketchup and other seasonings, served on a hamburger bun. Just spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture on the burger and enjoy it. I would say it tasted very similar to Bolognese sauce. No doubt it is called Sloopy Joe as it was messy (but deliciously so) to eat.

♧*♧°˚˚˚°♧*.*♧**♧°˚˚˚°♧**♧*.*♧°˚˚˚°♧*♧

My colleague Nigel ordered Jucy Lucy (RM 13.50), hamburger with melted cheese core inside the thick grilled beef and pork pattie and served with fries.

The Jucy Lucy was suprisingly small. More like a kid's meal. Despite on the size, it tasted great!

My colleague Dion ordered Pulled Pork Burger (RM12). A burger with the slow roasted and shredded pork and braised in special sauce.

The Mash Potato (RM5) too deserved to be mentioned, it was soft, creamy and really smooth and best served with its mash potato gravy.

The Pan Mee here is very different Pan Mee that i had in other places. Here you can have mix Pan Mee (Normal Pan Mee + Carrot Pan Mee + Spinach Pan Mee). We called it as Yin Yong Pan Mee. Me and my mom has ordered Ying Yong Loh Pan Mee, RM5. The dough was chewy and not overly thick.

The gravy was thick, rich in favor and not too salty. Prawns, vegetables, slice pork, foo chook, mushroom and black fungus will be added. I have discovered something special about this Pan Mee is even soak it in gravy for long enough, the noodle still chewy like before, it won't become soggy. Remember to add black vinegar to the gravy and eat with their chilli which not too hot but sour and sweet.

Joanne ordered a Sizzling Hot Plate Pan Mee. It tasted good as well! Joanne prefered the Longevity Noodles in her sizzling hot plate. I took a bite, it was spicy and they added dried chili. Mushroom and chicken also added in this Hot Plate Pan Mee.

Raya Decoration In Shopping Malls

2010-09-03T10:29:00.008+08:00

I went to a few shopping malls last weekend to see if the Hari Raya mood has kicked in (Raya decorations). Although these malls are located in 3 different areas, I found common theme in the decorations: kampung houses and shady coconut trees.

Mid Valley Megamall:

Wooden fences are added in to give life to the backdrop.

Falling in ♥

2010-08-23T16:16:00.003+08:00

When you think of your past love,
You may view it as a failure.
But when you find a new love,
You view the past as a teacher.
In a game of love,
It doesn't really matter who won or who lost.What is important is you know,
When to hold on and when to let go!

You know you really love someone,
When you want him or her to be happy.
Even if his or her happiness means that you are not part of it,
Everything happens for a best.
If a person you love doesn't love you back,
Don't be afraid to love someone else again.
For you will never know unless you give it a try,
You will never love a person you love unless you risk for love.
Love strikes in hurting,
If you don't get hurt,
You don't learn how to love.
Love doesn't hurt all the time,Though the hurting is still there to test you,
To help you grow.
Don't find love,
Let love find you.That is why it is called falling in love,
Because you don't force yourself to fall... you just fall.
You cannot finish a book,
Without closing its chapters.
If you want to go on,
Then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.
Love is not destroyed by a single failure,
Or won by a single caress.
It is a lifetime venture,
In which we are always learning, discovering and growing.

The greatest irony of love is letting it go when you need to hold on,
And holding on when you need to let go.We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else,
Who can love us even more than we can love ourselves.
On falling out of love,
Take some time to heal and then get back on the horse.
But don't ever make the same mistake,
Of riding the same one that threw you the first time.
To love is to risk rejection,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk failure,
But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is risking nothing!
To reach for another is to risk involvement,
To expose your feelings is to expose true self.
To love is to risk not to be loved in return!

How to define love?
Fall but not stumble,
Be constant but not too persistent,
Share and never be unfair,
Understand and try not to demand,
Hurt but never keep the pain.
Love is like a knife,
It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that always last for a lifetime.Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling,
It should inspire you and give you joy and strength.
But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end,Loving people means giving them the freedom that they choose to be and where they choose to be.
Loving someone means giving him or her a freedom to find his or her way,
Whether it lead towards you or away from you.

Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken,
No matter how scary or painful.
For only then you will experience the fullness of humanity,
You truly experience love.
Only love can hurt your heart,
Fill you with desire and tear you apart.
Only love can make you cry,
And only love knows why.
If you are not ready to cry,
If you are not ready to take a risk,
If you are not ready to feel a pain,
Then you are not ready to fall in love.
There was a time in our lives,
When we became afraid to fall in love.
Because every time we do we get hurt,
Then I figured that is why it is called falling in love.

Whatever happened,
Don't give up!
It is just a trial,
Have faith in yourself and cheer up!
When you decide to love,
Allow it to grow.
When you promise to love,
Refuse it to die!

** Thanks Nigel Low for sharing this meaning love poem!

Latte, Any One?

2010-08-20T14:36:00.006+08:00

I feel sick if i drink coffee, especially Nescafe. However, you will be surprised if you see me go in to Starbucks and order a cuppa of Frapuccino Caramel then enjoy so much with the Frapuccino. Yes, you might think.. Hmm, this lady only go for branded coffee! It's fine.. I feel myself weird too. NO sick, NO headahce.. Everytime after i had Frappuccino Caramel from Starbucks. Oh, ya! Beside Nescafe and other normal coffee, i also don't drink coffee from Coffee Bean. It makes my body too heaty too. See... So don't say i am just go for branded coffee only huh! lol

Grafitti Latte or Latte Art is the technique of pouring steamed milk into espresso, thereby creating beautiful patterns and designs on the surface of the latte. Latte art is genuinely difficult as it involves both the espresso shot and milk. It can also be created by embellishing simple drawings on the top of the foam. The quality of the espresso machine, the experience of barista and the work of latte artist contribute as a whole to generate this unique latte art.

This is Grafitti Late, RM10 from Pick & Brew. I took a sip after got a permission from my colleague as he has ordered it. It was rich, creamy, and my colleague seemed very satisfying!

Congrats Jonathan! You're Finally Graduated!

2010-08-16T14:20:00.002+08:00

Today is one of my happiest day in life! This is an indescribable feeling!! My most love dearly brother – Jonathan Mok has finally graduated! Jonathan, we are very proud of you! You’ve done very well! This is the moment mom and dad are waiting for so long! (I think mom’s neck is getting longer and longer, and now she can finally release and free herself like a bird flying freely on sky.. lol)

Graduation Day is the climax of a dream.

A parental dream that began when a child is born,

And their hope come true it would seem,

A triumph held after periods of forlorn,

A feeling of pride and euphoria years away For a daughter or son - Graduation Day.

It is a peak of success for the graduate,

Not only for the graduate but parents too.

A joyful event after many years they had to wait,

Realizing the glorious thrill of a dream come true,

A genuine smile accompanied by a deep sigh,

Often a handkerchief in hand as the class goes by.

Graduation is a deserving, hard earned goal

With mortarboard and gown as foretold,

A gratifying service of the mind and soul

In a simple and beautiful sheepskin told

That the graduate fulfilled the educational rule.

At last, for the mother and father, a dream come true.

iPhone4

2010-08-16T11:38:00.003+08:00

I am having iphone fever! I would think of iphone4 during the day and night.. Even in my dream.. Do I sound like inception? Lol.. My friend said she got an iphone4 from her hubby.. She is so lucky and lovely.. Even it is sold at very expensive price, but for people who can afford and really an iphone freak, who care? Right? I mean why think too much if you really love the thing and yet you have the money and don’t know where to spend.. Haha! So just get it! If I were having enough money, I would’ve fly to Singapore and get it when it is first launched recently, despite those unfixed problems. How I wish someone could present me the new iphone, but when I realize that asking people to give you something is just like forcing them. This is not my practice. So I rather not to depend on anyone! I am capable enough to be independent and I earn my own wages and spend it wisely and happily! People says buy thing with your own money is more satisfaction and meaningful.. I think it makes sense! :D

Village Park Restaurant, Damansara Uptown

2010-08-10T12:20:00.010+08:00

This wasn’t my first time visit Village Park in Damansara Uptown. I used to come here for lunch when I worked somewhere nearby this area few years ago. Village Park Restaurant is located in Damansara Uptown.

Last Sunday, mom was here to accompany me and Joanne. We took her to Village Park.
For the first timer, my advice is to be patient if you wanna eat in this restaurant. Due to their popularity, it would be very crowded all the time. We reached Village Park around 10am on Sunday, the queue was shockingly long, and all seats were occupied although they set up tables over a span of few shops including the parking space in front. We were lucky to grab a table among the jostling crowd. Despite the busyness, the service here was quite friendly.

From Nasi Lemak Biasa, Nasi Lemak Redang, Nasi Lemak Sotong to Nasi Lemak Daging. Beside that, they offer various dishes as additional add-ons like ayam goreng rempah, sambal udang, sambal petai and rendang. I noticed that all their Ayam Goreng are drumstick!

So, we finally got our Nasi Lemak…

Nasi Lemak at Village Park Restaurant is not cheap, with sambal, fresh cucumber, anchovies, peanuts, hard boiled egg, fragrant coconut milk rice and a fried chicken (tight/drumstick) RM7. However, their fried chicken was fresh and crispy!

Ice Milo Dinasaur

The most 'kao' Milo that i ever had before!!! Very nice! Does it look like sands on top? lol

Personally, i think Village Park's Nasi Lemak was OK. Very little rice they provided, but the fried chicken was the BEST! If you pay attention, you might notice some pictures on the restaurant's wall featured some famous celebrities and people who have eaten at Village Park before. One of them is my hero.. aka Tun Dr. Mahathir!

Very important message to photographers: Village Park Restaurant doesn't allow any photographs within the restaurant. A big sticker is stated in front of the main entrance of the restaurant. As a person who like to blog, i can't bother about the warning.. :P I quickly snapped few pictures without their knowing. :D

California Pizza Kitchen, KLCC

2010-08-05T11:42:00.015+08:00

Are you in love with pizza? Can't help but feel that all you want is pizza, pizza and pizza, moreover authentic pizza.. Then you should come to California Pizza Kitchen (CPK)!

Putting the entire world on a pizza, pasta or salad! And it's a fact that the pizzas here are artful, designed to tickle the eyeballs as well as the palate with creative combination of color, texture and flavor.

The California Pizza Kitchen in Suria KLCC has been drawing very large crowds since its first opening in Malaysia. Even with hundreds over seats on the good-size premises, you can count on a wait of 30 to 60 minutes for a table if you drop by at midday. The decor is upscale pizza-house, with a large, white-tile pizza oven and semicircular bar and with cozy wooded furnishings and an open kitchen that created a busy ambiance. Almost all the tables were occupied with smiling diners!

CPK was founded in 1985 in Beverly Hills, California,United States.

Warm & cozy ambiance

Open kitchen in the middle of the restaurant.

There is quite an extensive variety found at CPK. You'll get from salads to pizza, pasta and desserts, in different styles and preferences. CPK is serving good scrumptious pizzas. They take pride of their fresh imported ingredients such as pine nuts, cranberries, avocados... Very imported. This is the reason foods here are quite pricey compare to other franchises.

Iced Lemon Tea (RM7.50) for Steven

My all-time fav, Strawberry Shake! (RM9.50)

This would be Steven's ultimate dream dinner. He loves salad! This salad had everything tat would satisfy the rumbling tummy, and it was BIG!! We had the half size salad, which could feed 2 comfortably. Unless you're such a big eater! LOL...

The Original BBQ Chicken Chooped - Half (RM25)
Chopped lettuce, black beans, sweet corn, jicama, cilantro,basil, crispy corn tortilla strips and Monterey Jack cheese tossed together in herb ranch dressing. Topped with chopped BBQ chicken breast, diced tomatoes and green onions.

Marsala Marina with Chicken (RM33)
Linguini with Marinara sauce, garlic, Italian marsara wine, mushrooms and fresh basil. Topped with saved Parmesan cheese.

And then, it was time for the pizza...

Santa Fe Chicken Pizza (RM33)
This pizza has marinated chicken, onions, Mozzarella cheese and cilantro and it served with tomato salsa,sour cream and fresh guacamole. The sauce and toppings worked very together just how a good pizza is supposed to be!

Overlooking the beautiful KLCC fountain and green KLCC park...

CPK in KLCC provides diners a scenic view while they feast.

FEMMECITY 2010, KLCC

2010-08-03T16:29:00.017+08:00

I was attending FEMMECITY 2010 in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre last Saturday. It was a 3 straight days exhibition started from 30th July - 1st August 2010. Basically it was organized for all the ladies.. Ahem! And also guys.. About fashion, beauty, health, fitness, lifestyle, finance, weddings...

To be frank, i felt quite dissapointed about the exhibition. There were not as what i expected. I found the place too small and not very attractive. Even the i Property exhibition was huge compared to FEMMECITY. i Property almost covered the whole convention hall.

Here are some pictures i took in the exhibition:

Asia Restaurant, Senawang Seremban

2010-07-30T16:32:00.012+08:00

Ask anyone from Seremban about the best Laksa in town, and i bet they will tell you Asia Restaurant's Laksa! There are two Asia Restaurant in Seremban. One is situated in Loop Road and another one is in Senawang. Both are running by a same family. But the making of the gravy for curry is quite different. For the one in Loop Road, curry is much lighter and not many Santan. For those who doesn't like too much Santan, can consider to go to Asia Restaurant, Loop Road. While Asia Restaurant in Senawang, they tend to put alot of Santan and the gravy was thick.

The restaurant is located in Senawang light industrial, south of Seremban.

The restaurant is located at the corner lot amongst the shop houses.

It’s very difficult to say whether this is the best Laksa, but with the amount of customers day in and day out, i don't have any doubt! Asia Restaurant is very well known in Seremban.

Asia Restaurant is always throng by customers. Especially during weekend and holiday. You may expected to wait up to 30 minutes for your meal. I think it is worth for waiting for good food!

The Laksa was pretty decent. It was flavorful and fragrant! The gravy was just nice, not overly spicy that it burns your tongue, nor was it so mild that you cannot taste the spice mix.

Portions are also good enough. The Laksa was quite creamy.

It is indeed mouth watering just looking at the bowl of Laksa with the rice noodles in the Laksa soup brimming with flavor.

This restaurant also had other kinds of food, such as the Nasi Lemak, dumplings Yong Tau Fu and mixed rice.

The rice was so fragrant, soft and fluffy. The Sambal was not very spicy (this is based on my own taste bud, because i can eat very spicy food) They have cooked the Sambal with alot of onions and anchovies. I love it. The curry chicken was tender & flavorsome! However, i think the chicken was too small for me as i have ordered drumstick and it came with a chicken wing. Hmm! Never mind, i will sure try it again next time!

Overall Rating: 9/10

Domino's Pizza

2010-07-28T17:18:00.011+08:00

I love pizza! I find that Domino's Pizza is simply the best! I love the taste and it offers more varieties. I have not dine-in in their store before since they are the delivery expert! There are few tables and chairs in the store. But everyone came in to order their pizza or else they call for delivery. I think those tables and chairs are for people who is in hurry and nothing to do and want to dine in. Just in case la.. Since Domino's Pizza did not have the delivery service in my housing area in Seremban, we walked in to the store and ordered our favourite pizza. Thanks Joanne for belanja! >_<

By the way, do you know that Domino's Pizza started in the year 1960? Wow! That is too long!

Domino’s is the only pizza company that guarantees your order will arrive within 30 minutes or you'll get a free Regular Pizza voucher! Not only that, Domino’s guarantees you’ll receive your Take-Away orders within 15 minutes or you'll get a free Personal Pizza voucher.

We have ordered 2 large Pizzas. One is Classified Chicken with Classic Hand and another one is Seafood Delight with TossedCrunchy Thin Crust. Both are in Top Secret Sauce. So yummy!

See.. See.. See.. Look at their generous toppings. This pizza comes with their “Top Secret Sauce”, an aromatic blend of creamy, cheesy flavours with an unmistakable garlic zest! Delicious! I also love the thin crust, its so crispy and you just cant stop eating it. It is so nice, chewy and not overly thick and hence will not make you overly full.

I love this too! This soft and fluffy breadsticks, sprinkled with garlic seasoning, baked to perfection then served with salsa sauce. Nice as a dessert

Tony Roma's, Sunway Pyramid

2010-07-26T15:34:00.022+08:00

I love western food and used to go to many western food restuarants. This was my second time visit Tony Roma's. The last time i been was in The Gardens Mall for Steven's birthday celebration couple of years ago.

I find the Tony Roma's in Sunway Pyramid is pretty spacious and brighter compare to their branch in Mid Valley Megamall and The Curve.

We have directed by friendly waiter to a table next to window. Over the view is Sunway Lagoon.

Tony Roma's is a modern casual dining chain restaurant. Very American style.

You may adjust the window blind. We were enjoying our food while seeing the nice view of Sunway Lagoon over the window..

I simply took some pictures while waiting for our food to be served. No SDLR today, took all pictures with my 'lil pinky camera which i carrying it everywhere i go... Hehe.. So that i can take more pictures to blog it here.. :D

Tony Roma's Drinks and Desserts Menu. Choosing your beverage was a headache because they have many to offer ranging from alcoholic to non-alcoholic. But me and Steven will normally skip the alcoholic section as both of us are non alcoholic people. Haha!

Tony Roma's Set Lunch Menu

I have ordered Grilled Chicken Sandwich (RM19.90) from the Set Lunch menu as i was not very hungry. This is the first time I ordered burger from Tony Roma's. Hmmm.. Undeniably, this burger is massive hugeeee, gosh it's portion for two! Check it out...

I need to compressed it few times just to feed into my mouth. Normally i will try to finish everything i order. Unfortunately, I can't finish it (i mean many french fries left, i love fries, but i was too fulled) and what a waste!

The burgers and sandwiches are visually delicious and filling! I loved the combination of the juicy grilled chicken breast on a toasted Ciabatta bun, sweet red onion rings, cheddar cheese, grilled tomato slices and Romaine lettuce in my Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

Mmmh, sweetly caramelised deep-fried onions! Very crunchy, tasty onion, not too much batter and goes perfectly with the sauce if you order it for a la carte. I simply like to eat it plain, without the sauce, it tastes good too, because the onion is very sweet itself!

Steven has order Fish & Chips (RM19.90) from the Set Lunch menu.

Crunchy battered fresh fish complete with doorstep-thick chips.

Although fries are fattening, but i simply love it.

The complimentary bread with garlic butter. The bread was very soft. So good to eat with the garlic butter! Yummy!

The Set Lunch Soup of the Day varies on a day to day basis. Two choices of soup. This time we got Potato. It gets thumbs up from me! I love the fresh crackers that come with the soups.

I love this creamy potato soup. They have blended in potatoes, onion, some garlic and chicken stock.

Drink comes together with set lunch. Few selections for soft drink. We ordered Iced Lemon Tea. All drinks are free flow for those order set lunch.

Classic yellow mustard will be provided if you are ordering their sandwiche or burger. I prefer to have it original, without any sauce.

The afternoon lunch was really enjoyable with the good companion in the warm and cosy restaurant and delicious food!

Gourmet Malayo, Ara Damansara

2010-07-21T17:49:00.007+08:00

My colleague said he would like to try this newly opened restaurant nearby to our office. To be frank, without the banner we might not know where is this restaurant. Gourmet Malayo is situated at the corner lot same row as Proton show room in Ara Damansara here.

Their signature dish - Spanish rice, RM6.30. With a piece of rendang chicken and some veggies.. We think it was pretty expensive.

The rice is quite similar like butter rice. Abit like nasi briyani, but nasi briyani have more spice. If you refer to google, spanish rice is Paella. This spanish rice i had is totally different! It doesn't taste like a real spanish rice (Paella)! You might be dissapointed, just go and don't expect too much.

Ole Ole Bali, Sunway Pyramid

2010-07-19T16:47:00.012+08:00

Ole Ole Bali is a Balinese themed restaurant (duh!) that serves authentic Balinese cuisine and also a small selection of Western food.

The restaurant is located on the Ground floor of the popular Sunway Pyramid shopping mall. It has two entrances, one via the mall and the other fronts the main boulevard where you can see the 'sphinx' like monument.

The entrance of Ole-Ole Bali, Sunway Pyramid

The Menu

The seating arrangements offer numerous opportunities, depending on the size of the group. Tables are nice and big, and chairs are comfortable. You also have a chance to be seated on cushions on the floor and tuck in in what I imagine must be a Balinese style of dining.

The interior of the restaurant features many arts and crafts, decorations and handicrafts made with Buddha theme.

Ole Ole Trio (RM38), a huge starter that consists of a few popular combo starters of sate lilit, cumi cumi goreng, fried calamari (fried squid) and grilled chicken wings. The fried calamari was crispy, tender, mouthwatering! While the grilled chicken wing was nice too and I love their accompany sauces very much. You have tartar sauce, a sambal chilie and some cilipadi/lemongrass/onion in oil kind of thing. Share this if you're in a group, you'll find enough portions for two regular eaters (or just enough for one if you are big eater).

Barley Lime, was surprisingly nice.
At RM6 per glass (or RM18 a jug), this barley lime drink is obscenely expensive but with one sip, you'll find yourself ordering another. It's such a refreshing and delightful concoction and it goes so well with the largely spicy and heavy food.

Two good friends are taking pix together. :D

Price Hike: Fuel, Sugar & Gas Up!

2010-07-16T11:32:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, 15th July 2010, the Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s administration has taken a politically risky manoeuvre by raising prices of three types of fossil fuels, sugar and cooking gas in the country via the reduction of subsidy. These subsidy cuts are supposed to save the government RM750 million a year. The government claims that even after these cuts it will continue to spend about RM7.82 billion a year on fuel and sugar subsidies.
Both RON95 and RON97 grade petrol and diesel prices will be raised by RM0.05 per litre, while liquified petroluem gas (LPG) will be raised by RM0.10 per kilogramme.

Sugar prices will be raised by RM0.25 per kg.

All price increases will take effect from midnight 16th July 2010.The breakdown of the new prices are:

RON 95 grade petrol – RM1.85 per litre
RON 97 grade petrol – RM2.10 per litre
Diesel – RM1.75 per litre
White refined coarse granulated sugar – RM1.90 per kg
Liquified petroluem gas – RM1.85 per kg

For cooking gas: (each cylinder)
10kg – from RM17.50 to RM18.50, RM1.00 hike
12kg – from RM21.00 to RM22.20, RM1.20 hike
14kg – from RM24.50 to RM25.90, RM1.40 hike

Our government has never fail to invent new system. We will get big 'surprise' from to time. Most of the time all those new system that implemented never satisfies us! Everything is increase and up, when is the time our salary will get increase?

Oriental Chicken Restaurant, Glenmarie

2010-07-15T14:30:00.011+08:00

Glenmarie is now quite famous, beside well known as a light industrial area, it is also famous for food place! All because of the mushrooming of restaurants in this area recently.

Oriental Chicken Restaurant is a newly opened restaurant. Selling mainly chicken rice. Beside that, they also served other dishes which i can't remember that name.. LOL.

I thought of ordering roasted chicken rice. But i was surprise when i was told by the boss, they only serve steamed chicken. Hmmm.. Don't ask me why, cause i don't know too. :P

The chicken was smooth and tasted 'kampung chicken' compared to the rather bland, probably frozen chicken we get. Steamed chicken + rice + bean sprout + chicken soup - RM5.90 When i looked at the bill, i noticed that tights, drumstick, wings, etc.. All same price! No additional charges.

The rice was simply marvelous. You are able to taste each grain of rice, infused with chicken essence. Slightly on the hard side but that allows you to enjoy every grain instead of spoonful of carbohydrates..
Fresh cruchy bean sprout. I like to eat with the sauce.
This is recommended by the boss. For those who doesn't like or want to try something different, you can try this. Sorry i forgot the name, but it show on the menu. :) My colleague said it was very nice, the only thing was the pork is abit fat.. Overall, he said it was good. I believe they marinated the pork quite well to made the pork so 'tasty'. Chef recommended set meal - RM8.90.

Overall Rating: 7/10

Food Type: Chicken Rice

Price: Reasonable. Steamed Chicken Ric - RM5.90, Chef Special Set Meal - RM8.90, Plain Rice (additional) - RM1.20, Bailey Hot - RM1.30, Chinese Tea - RM0.70. (Total bill: RM27.00 - for 3 person).

Tax: No

Service: Good. Our food served pretty fast as the restaurant was crowded. When i asked the boss will it takes long for the food to serve, he aswered me with confident 'Fast'. :D

Wanton Mee From Muar

2010-07-13T16:06:00.007+08:00

I guess most people from Muar has tasted the this Muar Wanton Noodles. I was told that this is teh best Wanton Noodles in town. Even if you are not fancy for Wanton Noodles, you should also visit this tiny shop.

Springy and of a very 'chewable' texture. The Wanton Noodles tauke makes sure that the sauce is thoroughly mixed with the noodles before serving it to you. For the Char Siew, it is very normal. Tasteless. :P

Although the Wanton is not big enough, but it tasted quite nice.

...If you don't like Wanton Noodles, you can order Satay. Here they have Pork Satay, Chicken Satay, Beef Satay, Mutton Satay.

Sushi Zanmai, One Utama Shopping Centre

2010-07-12T10:25:00.014+08:00

I passed by Sushi Zanmai at One Utama many times but have yet to try it simply because this Japanese restaurant always a long queue of people outside, especially during weekend and peak season. I told Steven that i must try it to understand how good it is about. Again, i was in One Utama, shopping with Steven last Sunday. I told him i wanted to have my dinner in Sushi Zanmai. We went to check out the queue as early at 5.30pm and hope there isn't long queue. Surprisingly, there was a short queue in front of Sushi Zanmai and we were happily joined in the queue. It seems that Sushi Zanmai in One Utama is forever crowded! We waited for 15 minutes... Finally, we were ushered by a friendly waitress to a standalone table next to the kitchen instead of by the kaiten belt. Doesn't matter la, as long as we got to sit down, place order and eat!! Hehe! I was like a happy person like no one!! *Happy jumping*

The genuine conveyer-sushi restaurant provides more than 100 assortments of sushi and 100 varieties of cooked food that are authentically Japanese. .

The restaurant plays with background music. No idea why they would play English songs when they are rather a fine Japanese restaurant. However, i did not complain about the not so suitable background music because i love any kind of songs. :P

Sushi Zanmai has a pretty menu with lots of pictures. It makes deciding what to order so much easier.
The first dish the waitress served us is California Maki - RM3.80. I think the taste was nice especially eat with the moyonaise. The only thing was the sushi broke into half when we tried to use the chopstick to hold it!
I ordered Unatana Don - RM15.80 (small). The small portion was actually pretty sizeable for me. Plenty of rice with about 5 sliced Unagi. The Unagi was done nicely with the sauce. On top of the Unagi was an half cooked egg. The egg york still half cooked when i cut it. Yummy!
Steven order Chicken Katsu Don - RM8.80 (small). He said it was ok.

Most of our orders are small but you can order big if your appetite is big. Don’t worry, the price for big portion is pretty reasonable too…

Sushi Zanmai is having Unagi special promotion for the month of July. Promotion starts from 2nd July - 29th July.

There are different type of Unagi promotion for every week of July. The offered as:

2nd July - 8th July: Unagi To Teppanyaki, RM12.80

10th - 16th July: Unagi To Katsuo Gohan No Sansai Ankake, RM12.80

16rd - 22nd July: Sushi Zanmai No Unagi Katsu, RM12.80

23rd - 29th July: Unadon Special, RM12.80

We tried the promotion of the week... Unagi To Katsuo Gohan No Sansai Ankake - RM12.80. The dish came after i have finished my Unatana Don... My stomach almost fulled and stuffed with all Unagi, when i looked at this promotion dish i know i can feed in anymore.. Despite on that, i still ate it, but only the unagi without rice. Haha!

Beside all that, we also ordered Kari Mayo - RM2.80 and Inari - RM1.80..

I just can't stop eating... So 'wai sek'!!

...Wasabi with soy sauce is a must! I don't understand why some people just eat the sushi without it. :P

We ordered one warm Ocha (Japanese green tea) - RM1 and one cold Ocha respectively. It is bottomless. They have a pretty interesting drink selection like ice blended green tea.

Ohhh… If you don’t intend to use the wet towel, just leave it there or just bring your own. Apparently each wet towel used cost RM0.20. I didn't realize it until the bill came.

Thai Chicken Curry

2010-07-09T09:38:00.003+08:00

Last weekend, i went back to see mom.. Cooked Thai Chicken Curry for my family. I was using the yellow curry paste that i bought from Bangkok. I also bought Thai green curry paste. Will try it soon and share in my blog here... Stay tune! ;)

Not being exaggerate, mom and Joanne said very nice. Hehe!

Just in case, if you would like to try the recipe. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 packet of coconut cream/milk

1 packet of Mae Pranom Yellow Curry Paste

Oil

Meat (400 gms meat: 1 sachet paste)

Fish Sauce (Optional)

Sugar

Seasoning

Potato

Direction:

Put coconut cream in a heated pan and then add yellow curry paste. Stir-fry until oil appears on top. Add meat (beef, chicken, etc) and continue stir-fry until done. Fill the rest of the coconut milk, boil to cook and simmer until tender. Add fish sauce, sugar and seasoning as prefer. Put potato and boil to cook. Serve with rice.

P/S: You can follow your own preference to control the quantity of oil, sugar, seasoning, coconut milk, fish sauce and potato. As for healthy wise, you can replace coconut milk/cream to skimmed milk. But i would think coconut milk will make the curry's fragrant more nicer.

I bought the curry paste when i was holidaying in BKK couple months back. I heard we can get it in some supermarkets here. However, if you can't get the paste that i used. You still can try other brand for substitute. :)

Heng Kee Chicken Rice

2010-07-08T14:13:00.010+08:00

This friendly husband-wife stall sells some of the cheapest and yummiest chicken rice around!

Over here, you are assured of a sumptuous meal of chicken rice with a warm bowl of soup to wash down the yumminess.

Cheap chicken rice that is delicious at the same time is quite rare these days. If you happen to drop by the area, this nondescript stall is worth checking out for a quick, no-fuss meal.

A drab look stall which serve delicious chicken rice

You may choose to have plain chicken rice (roasted or steamed), or mix with roasted pork (Siew Yok), Char Siew to be served with chicken rice. Beside having chicken rice, you may also add Yong Tau Fu. There are many types of fried Yong Tau Fu for you to choose. Each Yong Tau Fu is RM0.70I had mixed chicken rice, Roasted Chicken + Char Siew. RM4. The skinless chicken meat was silky smooth and delightfully tender unless some quite hard to bite. While Char Siew, it was fresh too, got the honey taste. I think they marinated the Char Siew with enough honey on it. Damn yummy!!! :D
The rice was fragrant, savory and non-oily.
It cames with a bowl of chicken soup with alot of spring onions to make the soup more fragant. If you don't like spring onion, i advice you to let the owner know before the food is served. I told my colleague, Myke that the soup is very sweet and nice. He said.. Of cause la, cos it is too much of ajinamoto.. LOL Maybe la.. But who care? As long as we gotto eat the fresh yummy chicken rice with cheap price.. What else to complain about? Hehe!!

Lunch @ Penang Pork Noodles

2010-07-02T14:28:00.009+08:00

The super busy coffeeshop located within the Goodyear Court flats is quite packed with people. Myke suggested us to try the Penang Pork Noodles. I was told that this stall has been interviewed by famous TVC - Ho Chiak! Drop by for a nice and cheap meal but be prepared to sweat it out as the soup can be quite hot especially sitting in a non air conditioned food court during the crazy tropical weather.

Savour the hot sweet soup laden with minced pork, pork balls, pork slices and liver. Especially when mixed with the deep fried chopped garlic.

Full of ingredients - minced meat, pig's liver, vegetables and a sprinkle of deep fried pork lard.

The soup was good, not overly sweet with an evidence of added sugar but sweet from the boiling of pork bones and the meat.

INT Restaurant.

I ordered normal white rice with tamarind fried fish, boiled egg, veggie. RM7

Long-grained, fluffy and fragrant Briyani rice cooked with loads of herbs and spices, sometimes together with your meat of choice... Chicken, mutton or beef.

My colleague took fried chicken, fried cauliflower, omelette, boiled egg and eat with his Briyani rice. The accompanying piece of chicken (the whole upper thigh was given) was not of the curried variety, but instead a simpler, but equally lip-smacking fried chicken with spices that was very tender and tasty. RM10.50

Ah Ping Bah Kut Teh serves both dry and soup Bah Kut Teh. I haven't try dry Bak Kut Teh before but will consider on my next visit. Personally i think when eating Bah Kut Teh, (you char kway) are a must for me with any Bah Kut Teh meal. They’re absolutely great especially if the soup is full of flavour as these babies suck up soup like a sponge.) are a must for me with any Bah Kut Teh meal. They’re absolutely great especially if the soup is full of flavour as these babies suck up soup like a sponge. Unfortunately all you char kway has been sold out on that night. :(

The herbs soup of Bah Kut Teh smells very strong and appetising, especially when it serves hot. The taste of this Bah Kut Teh soup was pretty good with accompanying ‘Daofupok’ (soft beancurds), ‘Fupei’ (beancurd sheets), goldern mushroom served with the herbal-ish and aromatic Bah Kut Teh soup. I can't stop drinking it.

When it comes to pork, we prefer lean meat and less fat.

It is excellent accompaniment to the pork meat with some good cut small chillies in soya sauce especially when mixed with some garlic.

Dinner @Restoran Weng Heong

2010-06-21T14:29:00.008+08:00

While we were discussing on how to celebrate my brother - Jonathan's birthday , and since my sister's in town with her two young toddlers, my mom suggested that we should go to Restoran Weng Heong which is nearby to our place and food there simply tasty!

Chinese have the tradition of eating longevity noodles (aka long life noodles, or 长寿面, “Chang Shou Mian”) on their birthdays and special occasions such as Ren Ri 人日 (7th day of the Lunar New Year, commonly known as “everyman’s birthday”). It is believed that eating these noodles is auspicious as the long strands of noodles symbolize a long life.

I ordered this for Jonathan on his birthday. It tasted very nice. The seafood along with fresh garlic, ginger, mushroom made the flavour absolutely delicious. RM12

Thai Sweet and Spicy Chicken. So-so only. RM20 for half bird.

Tofu. RM15

Kailan. RM15. I like it as it is fresh and crunchy.

Salad Prawn. RM25. Must order! Fresh prawn and crispy.

Was rushing to get Jonathan a birthday cake. Simple and normal birthday cake. But meaningful! (of cos with birthday gifts.. :P)

Happy Father's Day Pa Pa

2010-06-18T10:39:00.006+08:00

Just like Mother’s Day is celebrated to honor motherhood, Father’s Day marks fatherhood to honor and commemorate our fathers and forefathers. It is a great time to let our father know we haven’t forgotten him and also show him how much we value and respect him.

On this special day gives us all an opportunity to thank and express gratitude to our fathers for all their support, love, affection and guidance throughout.

Sometimes people can have a bit of a hard time figuring out what it is that dad might like for Father’s Day. As we all know, the best gifts come directly from the heart, so we just sent him a father's Day card. On the card, everyone has put in special notes from our heart, this is included his 1 year old grandson's hand writting (actually my nephew saw a pen on the desk and accidently draw on the card) LOL..

As for us, we are slightly different from other. We are treating everyday is Father's Day. Dad started his career in Singapore since we were very young. He is always a very busy man. Busy with his work for his whole life. :P Even until now.. Never change! This is the reason we find it hard to celebrate Father's Day as he can devote his life to work 24/7. Haha! We celebrate every single day whenever we get the chance to sit down, have a good chat, joking with each other with family. Despite on that, i would like to take this opportunity to wish all the fathers HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Especially to my dad, i hope he read my blog. :) HAPPY FATHER'S DAY Pa Pa! We love you deeply and thank you for everything! You are the greatest father in the world!

With all love,

Josephine, Foong, Joanne & Jonathan

Lunch @ Pick n Brew

2010-06-11T12:34:00.008+08:00

It's always good to know a nice place for good food with a nice ambience. My colleague suggested to go to Pick n Brew. With me was Nigel and Eric. It’s always fun to lunch with my ravenous food bloggers friend, which means no impatient stares from non food bloggers while me and Nigel happily snapping away, no complaints.. Eric too, happily pitched in! :D

We nearly got lost on the way but luckily Nigel was using his iphone to check the GPS. It is actually in CNI Building in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. You'll be surprise that you can actually find a cafe like this one in the middle of all the warehouses and factories in this famous industrial area.

When reach the place, you will notice Pick n Brew is actually inside the CNI building. Tell the guard at the main gate and he will show you the place.

The entrance

I was pleasantly surprised to find such a soothing and comfy ambience there. A fashionable dining scene, featuring tantalizing coffee and nouvelle cuisine. The concept is Italian but not too conventional, rather a fusion that comfortably satisfies even a non-connoisseur.
There is a VIP room too, i think it can fits for 10 person I think . You can actually see though the VIP room from the glass wall.

Pick N Brew serves gourmet coffee from around the world
You will notice there are so many types of coffee beans once you step in the restaurant.

The menu

As this is our first time visit. We decided to try their All Time Set. There are 4 main course set to select. Teriyaki Chicken served with Pasta and Buttered Mix Vegetable, Herb Crusted Fish Fillet served with Mix Vegetable and Lemon, Grilled Lamb Shoulder served with Potato, Vegetable, Mint Gravy and the last one is Prawn Aglio Olio. The All Time Set includes appetizer (Salad or Soup) and drink (Coffee or Tea). Price is RM28++ per set.

Check out what we've order:

☆

Eric ordered Teriyaki Chicken served with Pasta and Buttered Mix Vegetable. He said the herbs and teriyaki sauce is marinated very well with the chicken. Pasta served under the Teriyaki chicken, it is spaghetti cooked with olive oil.

Nigel ordered Grilled Lamb Shoulder served with Potato, Vegetable and Mint Gravy. He said he loves it. I don’t like lamb because I can’t stand the gamy smell of lamb. But i took a small bite this time, the meat was tender and the gamy smell was not very strong as the fragrant of herbs covered a lot of the gamy smell of lamb cooking.

I have order Herb Crusted Fish Fillet served with Mix Vegetable and Lemon. Served with boiled potatoes, light but fragrant capers lemon butter and roasted vegetables, the fish itself was very fresh.

Appetizer is the soup of day. No idea the soup name, i called it tomato soup.

Pick N Brew serves good coffee serves gourmet coffee from around the world. But all of us ordered the same thing. TEA. Haha.. I am not a coffee person. So obviously i would order tea. However, i will try their coffee on my next visit next time. ;)

2010-06-10T11:02:00.010+08:00

I was looking for a restaurant with wifi for dinner with Joanne and mom last weekend. Mom wanted to check something on the internet. So we need a place with free wifi due to the slow internet connection at home.

We decided to dine in this restaurant called Boston 又一城 in Jusco Seremban 2. The set up and concept of this restaurant is very similar as Kim Gary and Wong Kok Resurant. very Hongkie style. Foods are nice, but a bit salty.

Cendol with Gula Melaka. Can fight with Melaka and Penang Cendol. LOL

Yang Chow Fried Rice. Joanne said nice. The rice is non sticky but crunchy.. :)

I ordered this.. Veggies with rice. No meat at all. Good recommendation to vegetarian or veggie lover.

Mom ordered this.. Another fulled veggies dish. Meehoon soup. The meehoon they served is different from the meehoon we normally eat. It is like the Tomyam Kung meehoon we have in Secret Recipe Restaurant. I like the soup.

Lunch @ Dine Out Restaurant

2010-06-04T15:01:00.008+08:00

Lunch with colleagues in Dine Out Restaurant yesterday. This is an authentic Malaysia Chinese cuisine restaurant. Situated in Glenmarie. Few shops away from 明纪叉烧王.

We were atrracted by its RM9.90 set lunch which is posted outside of the restaurant.
It was full in the restaurant but we managed to find a place fit for four and start order food.

The boss told us this is their second branch. The first one is in USJ, Subang Jaya. They plan to expand to four branches by this month!

While eating, the boss of the restaurant was chatting with us. He is very friendly. I like this place because it served home cook food. Very comfortable and relax!

Only RM9.90 for set lunch. I think the menu is not fix. Two types of set lunch to choose, with a bowl of soup, plain water or Chinese tea, fruit and free flow of ice cream.

After we placed our order, the waiter brought us a small plate of Teow Chew ground nuts. This is not include in the set lunch.

Choose this:

Forgot the sauce name. Fried fish with long beans and Choy Sam

Or this:

Kari Chicken with Binjal and Choy Sam

And you will get this:

No idea what is the soup. But it tasted very nice!

Plus:

Watermelon

Plus:

Free flow ice cream. Not much choices. To be frank, their ice cream not nice la. Maybe i used to eat Haagen Daaz or Baskin Robin la. But can't expect too much, free flow wor.
