Timberland Plays its Part in Answering Earth Day's Call

In Malaysia, Timberland has recognized Earth Day with community service events for 10 years and this year, Timberland Malaysia worked hand-in-hand with The Malaysian Nature Society; which manages the Kuala Selangor Nature Park; in preserving this important piece of natural habitat.



Amongst the core activities for this year's event were mangrove tree planting, mangrove clean up and the repainting of the park’s educational site.

And I'm proud to be part the mangrove planting!

Plant and plant



Okay, perhaps some help



And say cheese


With all the hard work, we're rewarded with a spectacular sea view. All hard work has become so valuable with the sea breeze.

On the right, Kuala Selangor River


It’s a satisfactory!

Helms Deep Discovery

For your kind information, Helms Deep is the term our office created for the smelly yet cheap food court in Mid Valley. Its main entrance located at Ground Floor, between Big Apple Donut and the Thai restaurant.

Hemls Deep has plenty salivary food available and a few of my favourite are:

Sajian Pakcik
Malay style fried rice
I heart their nasi goreng kampong with telur dadar

Vanilas
Indian rice
My favourite is the fried bitter gourd and stir fried cabbage

There more stalls at Helms Deep offering economical and delicious lunch. Recently, I discovered another two stalls that I'm placing it into my favourite list.

Nasi Lemak Kukus
Nasi lemak lor
Yes, it sells only Nasi Lemak and it serves freshly steamed coconut rice. You will be able to see them taking the rich fresh from the steamer and pack it on-the-spot.

At the early stage of its opening, I thought myself: “Cheh, it’s just Nasi Lemak, why do you need the whole stall to sell one item?”

Surprisingly, I’m seeing a lot of customers queuing during lunch hour and particularly long. Finally, out of curiousity, I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be sooooooooo good!



Observe it. Manage to see any difference?

It’s unlike the ordinary nasi lemak whereby it comes with red sambal belacan. The “sambal belacan” served here is made by chili padi, unexpectedly tasty!

Well, this is not the craziest yet. I heard from my sister that there used to be a morning roadside Nasi Lemak stall along Jalan Ampang, served Nasi Lemak with chili sauce. Sounds crazy?

Malay Mixed Rice
Assorted dishes
I’m craving for fried fish topped with sambal belacan recently - badly, along with my favourite fried potato with sambal and sambal eggplant.



Yummy!

This is no good, I'm craving for food now! HALPPPPPPPPPP.........

Aunty Yong Pan Mee

A few years ago, I shifted to this crazily hot desert – Cyberjaya. It’s not easy to find a single place to dine in back then, especially Chinese food; not to mention on any decent Chinese food yet. After rounds of searching, we managed to locate a Pan Mee restaurant.

Located at Seri Kembangan, Aunty Yong has started the Pan Mee business not-so-long after I moved in. For your information, Aunty Yong only sells Pan Mee and Yee Mee. If you’re expecting for more options, Aunty Yong might not be your choice.

The Pan Mee flour is not too thick and particularly smooth. With no mushroom and extra sweet potato leaves, Spicy Pan Mee (麻辣板面) is my all-time-favourite. The only dish I will order in every visit without failed. I always like to add a few teaspoons of their homemade chilli into my Pan Mee to add some flavour. Their chilli combines sweet, sour and spicy - another signature “item” of the restaurant.

Seet falls in love with Aunty Yong, I mean the Pan Mee after his first try. We visited Aunty Yong again for lunch today. As usual, I had my Spicy Pan Mee and Seet order the Original Pan Mee (香菇板面) with an additional egg.

Original Pan Mee (香菇板面)
RM4.50, additional cost for extra egg



Spicy Pan Mee (麻辣板面)
RM4.50


Afterwards, we went walking around for digestion after a full meal. However, we ended up eating even more. We had this super yummy Milk Snow Ice, topped with chocolate sauce and chocolate rice. Irresistible!



Oh, did I just forgot to mention where to get it?

It's from the 100Yen shop.

Lucky Ten Western Food

See, I’m not kidding! I’m seriously craving for cheap western food.

Seet bought me to this western food corner at Bandar Baru Klang that runs by a Chinese family - an open-air concept.

According to the waitress, although the restaurant runs by a Chinese family, but the food prepare are Halal. Hence, all Muslim mates can also dine in.

Grilled Chicken with Herb Butter
(RM9.80, served in hot plate RM10.80)

The portion is not as huge as I was expected. It’s more like a chick than a chicken. I also felt that the combination of butter and herb don’t really go well.



Mashed potato
(RM4.80)

Look is deceiving. Don't judge a book by its cover.

It doesn't look special from the first glance. However, it is smoothly mashed, perfectly seasoned with salt, pepper and milk. Top with nice brown sauce, this mashed potato can really turn me on.



Longan Milk
(RM5.80)

“Yucks! Longan and milk? Can’t imagine it,” commented Seet.

I understand this can’t be easily well-accepted by everyone. I admit that I have weird taste buds sometimes, not always. I like milk: fresh milk, sea coconut with milk, longan with milk, jelly ice with milk, etc – all kinds!

Therefore, this is definitely my glass of drink - refreshing!

Buffalo Steakhouse @ Sunway Mentari

I’ve no idea why am I craving for ＂大件及抵吃＂western food so badly recently. And I came across Buffalo Steakhouse from other bloggers, tempted to try.

Based on our observation, the restaurant runs by two or more families. We’re still playing the guessing game. Any ideas?

Apart from ala-carte menu, they're also offering a very cheap all-day-long set menu, which provide six main course choices (you pick one).



Priced at RM16.90 nett, the set includes:

1. Soup of the day



2. Bread and butter



3. Main course

(Cordon Blue Steak)


(Chicken Chop in Gravy)


4. Drink



5. Dessert



Pictures paint a thousand words, need me to say more?

Though it’s just a RM16.90 nett set menu, but they’re very generous by serving huge portion. Small eater can consider of sharing one set meal. Surprisingly as well, they’re quick in serving our food too even when there are quite a number of customers.

Impressive!
