Fried Kuey Teow with Duck Egg (鸭蛋炒果条)

Dad bought dinner/supper for himself just now and of course I tumpang makan - Fried Kuey Teow with Duck Egg (鸭蛋炒果条) from Puchong's Medan Selera.



Mom’s myth on Fried Kuey Teow with Duck Egg:
用鸭蛋炒的果条是特别香的
(Direct translation: fried kuey teow with duck egg will have better taste and fragrant)

Believe it or not?

The fried kuey teow that I tried was really good. I’m not sure if they’re famous and good at char kuey teow or it’s the duck egg that make the difference. However, sad thing is I can't manage to taste the difference between chicken egg and duck egg.

Tell me what do you think?

Last Tuesday, dad woke up early to prepare breakfast for me. It was carried to work in a nice bento box.

Just want to thank him for the concern he shows, especially after the unhappy incident happened to me.

Sausages and salad

Justin Lo Live In Genting 2010

Justin last held his concert in Resorts World Genting in October 2008 to an overwhelming response. I wanted to attend his concert so badly that year. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to for several reasons:

1. I went to Genting a week before his show (that was how eventually I found out the concert).
2. At the same week, I'm flying off to Perth for a family holiday.
3. And I felt sick too!

“Bad timing and regretful,” I thought myself.

Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not a fan of Justin, but I admire his songs. My favourite song is 命硬 (Hard Life) – a must sing K song. What about yours?

Finally, here’s my chance again to catch him live as he will be returning to the Arena of Stars this August. Details as below:

Date: 14 August 2010 (Saturday)
Time: 8.00pm
Venue: Arena of Stars



I managed to reserve (in fact, it’s confirmed) two PS2 tickets at an early bird rate. It was very frustrating each time when I tried calling Genting hotlink, the pre-recorded operator will repeat the same message:

“Thank you for calling Genting, our agents is unavailable at the moment. For xxx, please sms to xxxx and for other reservations and shows, please visit our website at http://www.rwgenting.com or call back later.”

Feeling frustrated? Genting, I urge you to please address the issue seriously.

风和日丽的星期日

在一个风和日丽的星期日，小孩S和小孩J兴致勃勃决定了要往云顶开始他们一日游的旅程。

两个像大小孩般的傻瓜非常迫不及待。漫长的等待，S和J恨不的立刻就到了明天。

明天终于来临了！小孩S架着新成员－三姨太，然后呢就像保母的带着大姨太，兴奋往山上驶去。两人第一次的云顶之旅，就开始了。

这不是什么豪华旅行团，也没有很多可以尽兴使用的钞票或银票。可是这却再度的在他们两人的生命中画上了一个句号。

你就像这大大的蘑菇，为她遮风挡雨。


下雨了！小孩J抱着茶叶蛋快快的躲到蘑菇下面去。

小孩J非常感激你对她的迁就。
小孩J非常感激你对她的卷顾。
小孩J非常感激你对她的疼爱。

非常感激你对她的所做过的一切，让她感觉到被爱的幸福。

The Return of Miss Emo Singapore

Yes, if you didn’t realise, Zoe Leong Yin Mun has been renamed from Miss Singapore to Miss Emo Singapore - because she has been very emo for the past one year.

Moving on, Miss Emo Singaporean came back to Malaysia last week - kononnya wanna clear her unclearable annual leave. A week before she is back, she started to MSN and email us, die-dying wanna eat seafood. Choices between Jalan Alor or Restaurant Tak Fok (得福小厨). She's envy after reading my blog entry about 得福小厨 , simply because she can’t find nice seafood in Singapore (too bad!) and bising us to bring her.

Malaysian practice Malaysian Hospitality and we’re Malaysian (duhh!). We skipped Jalan Alor to avoid being slaughter like a tourist. Hence, our only option left is with 得福小厨. Moreover, they are having promotion currently - order any two dishes and enjoy crab offer at RM20 per kg expect 咸香蟹 at RM21 per kg.

Tempting?

Since I had 咸香蟹 and 奶酪蟹 the last time I visited, we moved on to try 金香蟹 and 酸辣蟹.

金香蟹


酸辣蟹



Iris and Zoe kept complaining that the crabs’ sizes are pathetic. Sorry lah, this is out of my control. But I admitted that the size is smaller (much more) compared to my last visit. Honestly, I think it’s less than a kg.

I hope the boss is not trying to cheat youngsters like us with a small crab.

Nyonya Imperial

Dad: What’s for dinner? We’ll let Pui Fun to pick since she’s in a depressing mood now.

(Pui Fun: *sweating*)

Pui Fun: I don't know what to eat, why not you ask che che?

Mom: Aiyah, let’s go Dengkil. RM30++ can stuff our stomach full full.

Dad: But that’s not what she likes. What about Sri Penang?

Pui Fun: Ok, I don’t want Kitchen Village and Sri Penang.

(Dad continues driving)

Dad: There’s this Nyonya restaurant in Puchong, which is Halal. Maybe we can give it a try? Hmm, let me call friend A and B to get some comments.

(Dad’s calling)

Friend A: The place ah, so-so only leh.

Friend B: I think it was quite good.

So, there we went.

Nyonya Imperial located at Bandar Puteri Puchong.


I adored white and red are chosen as the theme. It gives me a contemporary yet traditional atmosphere.





A white stairway, decorated with elegant crystal lamp, allowed access to the top floor - an open area.



Now, here comes the F&B.

According to the restaurant manager, their most famous or favourable dishes are:

1. Curry Fish Head
2. Curry Chicken Kapitan
3. Petai Sambal Prawn
4. Penang Butter Prawn

However, amongst the four introduced dishes , we only picked one. Reason being, I don’t eat fish head; I don’t eat petai; butter prawn is too expensive.

Chicken Lobak


Curry Chicken Kapitan


Kai Lan with Salted Fish


Egg Tofu


Lemon Bali Ice


Finally, we all agreed to trust Friend A, that the foods served here are so-so only (it's not awful but it's not impressive either). We managed to locate a better Nyonya restaurant in Puchong as well, called Home Cook. I’ll definitely feature it the next time.

Second Wife

The moment of truth has finally arrived, the fact that I'm gonna accept in regardless. The arrival of his second wife.

In fact, is this his second or third wife?

1. Jess
2. Bball
3. Vois

Ah! Should be the third wife. Sorry, my mistake!

The arrival of his third wife, Toyota Vios 1.5 G-Spec (featuring my car).

Jeng jeng jeng! *applause please*




Vios: Do I look more photogenic on the left or right angle?

Friday, 16 April 2010, 11.31pm Local Time

I'm alone in the office trying to finish my work. No date.

I prefer to have a peaceful than a hectic and disturbed weekend worrying about work (I suppose everyone does, right?)

Working, chatting with Emo Singaporean and missing someone that has been sent to Hong Kong for Digital Academy too - not so badly lah!

It could be quite scary sometimes staying up late in the office ALONE, especially when I thought of our beloved intern – Melinda’s story about the ladies washroom.

Nevertheless, have a great weekend, everyone!

Famous for:

Curry Laksa (咖喱叻沙)

That was my recent return after several years. My thought for this return trip - decent food, not superb. No longer "WOW, SO NICE!"

However, my opinion for the first visiting, it's acceptable and affordable. In addition, it has renovated for a better eating environment. Definitely worth for a return!

Our menu:

½ kg咸香蟹: RM11.00
(Promotional price)


½ kg奶酪蟹: RM10.00

I appreciated the effort you make, coming all the way from work to my place for dinner.

Though有点小兴奋，又有点不舍得, please enjoy the Digital Training and your extended stay in Hong Kong.

See you one week later!

在我有生之年，我永远都会记得这一天

我一生中最失望的一天，就是那天。

那天，许多的曾付出的劳力及勤奋，都消失了。

那天，我挣扎的在想，好好的一个人，为什么会这样？

那天，我也很庆幸，得到了解及支持。了解及支持的人，莫过于家人以及他。

在我不开心时，food is the best medicine。所以呢，要逗我稍微开心点，也不是不可能滴。

聪明人选用聪明法，把我带去这家位于金河广场底层的新香港粥面家。

在这里，真的是有童年的回忆。小的时候，家境都不是很好。可以吃到这个，算是premium了。更何况，这里的食物说真的还真的不便宜。所以每次吃的时候，我们都会看好价钱才叫。不然一个不小心是可以吃到百多零及的。

那天，我们就来到了这家粥面家 － 他说以前时常看到都想试吃，可是就是没机会。今天终于有啦！应该要多谢我吧？





因为都已经脑死了，所以我们就直接选了dinner套餐。不需选，更不用想。

如果我没记错，那套餐应该是大概RM33++包括了：

1. 烧鸭
2. 奶油鸡
3. 炒菜胆
4. 莲藕汤
5. 甜品

当服务员问我们要饭还是面，我们都以为这是包括的，所以我们都叫了面。结果结单时，一碟／碗云吞面kosong竟然是RM4.80。



说真的，不然我都不想要呢。因为事实上，我的胃口也不太好。

另外，我们叫了两杯饮品。我要了杯三色果汁 - 橙，红萝卜，青苹果（RM8.00)，而他呢就叫了杯冻柠蜜（RM7.00)。他其实不知道也没想到他那杯冻柠蜜是那么的贵。天啊，RM7.00一杯柠蜜！到底是用哪国的柠檬和蜜糖啊？



好好吃的鸭鸭！



RM70++的一餐！



说句公道话，其实这里的食物还真的满不错。错就错于它的价钱还满昂贵，然后又有所＂隐瞒＂的。一不小心就会把你斩的＂一颈血＂，大家记得要小心哦！

肥胖问题

为什么是我？！

无论如何，我都要减肥！

零七年的我在澳洲回来时候的是40公斤。现在的我，再也不敢上磅了。

谜体是，大多数去了国外的朋友们都变胖。为什么我却变瘦，而且是急速变瘦的（之间的问题，就免提了啦）。
