Guys ... Take care of my blog properly okay? Bring more friends to visit and write me more comments ... Will be off till Saturday/Sunday ... Seriously need some good rest and dating with my gf ...

I suggest ...




NewsPapers reading in any shop in any shopping center. Hence there's no better place to be. The kids dun want Recreation Parks for fresh air, they dun want to see animals in the zoo, they dun even want to know what fishes are the in Aquaria ... Get the kids some Ice-Cream to shut them up, and enjoy the NewsPapers in Air-Con, lovely ...

Or .....



Bring your GF who knows nuts about computer to a Mac Shop, show her all the computers and tell her what's listed on the broucher, impress her by telling her what is the different between CPU and RAM, DVD and CD. I guarantee she will love you gau gau coz you know SO MUCH about computer( You don't need to know actually, there's brouchers everywhere to take and salesman to help, even if you are not buying ). Don't worry if your GF want to buy one, just tell her Mac is different and no one in the World know how to use it, it only looks good and actually over priced, then you're safe, at least you're wallet is saved.

Where were you guys alst night ? Crowded and get squeezed in Pubs ? Or kena stucked in traffic jam and watch FireWorks in the car ???? I was at home with Jacq ler ... minum soup, hehehehhe.

Dun play play ... she really can cook good soup. ABC she call it. Basically is Potato + Tomato + Lot's of Onions + Chicken, and BlackPeppers ..... Lovely ...

And ofcoz ... Pictures of FireWorks for those who was stucked in the Pub and Traffic ...








Enjoyed ??? Me too, with the love one ...





So many thanks to the warriors who have sacrificed thier life to exchange the country and the people's freedom, without them there will not be FireWorks last night, you and me won't be sitting here blogging or viewing blogs, there will not be even you and me. To the peoples who have scarificed thier life: Thanks for everything that you all have fight for us, giving us freedom and peace. We will appreciate all that and keep on going, along with your spirit and your will.

Woh ..... ultra back-dated post ler .... Event on last saturday and now only post .... hhmmm ...



Anyway, it was Cock-a-Doodle's birthday last friday, and I was so lucky to be invited to take pictures for the event, but sorry, you all won'w be seeing any 'people's pictures' here, coz some most of the attendees dun want to show their face on the Internet. So .. only food pictures ler ~ You all dun mind right ? I guess ...



At Hooi Loong Restaurant, Damansara Jaya, where 11 of us all gather around to celebrate Cocka's birthday ~ What else ? Food and Laughter ofcoz !!! But too bad I can post the picture of Cocka doing the Chicken Dance, hehehe, or I'll kiled by him.

Started off by introducing myself and my GF to every one, also Jian, I bring her there coz I know she likes to read Wingz@Rojakz blog, andWingz@Rojakz will be there that night. But end up she had most of the conversations with Sengkor ... hhmm...SengKor, dun even think about it, she got BF liao ler ~ HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.





First dish, the 4 Season. Some marinated LittleOctopus + WeirdLooking TouFu + CharSiu in YamCake + MixVegi and a Purple Color Dragon ... hhmm....


Then come to Siu Yu Ju + Siu Ngap ... Roasted Piglet + Roasted Duck. Just love the pork. So crispy on the skin and the meat are so tender. And the fat, looks disgusting looking at it, but put in in your mouth you'll feel, like eating Jelly, not too oily and it's the bridge from the skin and the meat, the whole thing won't ever taste good without that thin layer of fat. But please dun eat too much, hi cholesterol.


Sharks' Fin ofcoz, cant miss on any Chinese Birthday or Weeding, or Farewell or whatever ...


Yup ! The Steamed Fish with Fried Onion ... Not really good I think, coz the fish is not fresh enuff, which it didn't came out in a "good shape" after steamed. The taste also mah mah dei ....


Fried Prawns in Cheese ... uuhh.... Loving it, and thanks to Wingz and 9393 who dun eat prawns, so I can have extra ... hheheheh


Red Burned Tou Fu, Stewed TouFu with mushrooms and vege. Nice ... but I dun eat vege .... So I hantam the TouFu only...


Some "For Fun" pictures ... waddaya think ?~


Then comes desert ler ... Bak Guo Yi Mai. I think they also put in SoyaMilk ....

Cakes that's "A bit sweet butno taste" .. According to Jian .....



Had great time gathering with all the great people ~ Cock-a-Doodle, King'sWife, LittleMissMay, AngelLiuLiu andSengKor who I already know and first time meeting up with Wingz@Rojakz, 9393 and JKN. hhmm... Thanks guys ~ for the fun and pleasent dinner ~

Happy Birthday to you ~~~

Happy Birthday to you ~~~

Happy Birthday to SoTong Mui ~~~

Happy Birthday to You ~~~~~~~~~~~


Lets greet the Birthday girl .... Always happy lah ~~~ Always Leng Lui lah ~~~ And wish her .... everything good lah ~

ShortNote:Soli ah ... not been updating coz I want to see myself being a good man for a longer while ... hehehehe



Yah man, first Official Dating after certified was in a MiniMarket.. WHAT ??? MINI MARKET ???? So unRomatic ler ~~ But nevermind ler, coz I was helping her to get some household for her house, which is kind of empty coz she and Jian just moved in. So, as a boy friend who has experince with households, I go with her.


Before going for 'shopping' ... We had lunch somewhere in Uptown.


She ordered herself a Yim Gok Gai noodle in Soup. Something new to me ler. I've tried lots of things with noodle in soup, but not Yim Gok Gai. Pretty good, as the flavor are well done. Chinese Herbal soup are strong but didnt cover up the taste of the chicken, but actually bring out the taste of the chicken... well done.


For me ler, I have the Rice version, coz that time damm hungry and I think rice more filling ... hehehe. And Yim Gok Gai Fann ... sounds good ~


After all the makan-makan we continue our date ler, which is household shopping...According to her auntie, she can get really good price for the things she wanted in some miniMarket in some place in OldTown PJ, and God knows where the hell is that.... However, I am kind of bored after giving her all the suggestions on what she need, and luckily I have brought along my handy little Canon S60.... for pictures


Looking at all these 沙褒, reminds me of ShaBou Gai Fann, HannYu Fa Lam Bou, ShaBou TaoFu, food food food. Chinese are damm good with food, aren't we ? hehehhe...


Traditional Chinese Paterned Tea Cup. Nice ? If you know how to appreciate, which I don't. heheheh, coz me not really into history ler, I can't even name out more than 2 China Emperor, what a shame chinese I am. But I love looking at these paterns ler, and the color mix and match are really good. Also I've been wondering, why on earth then want to spend so much time putting all these hardwork on a tea cup... I guess these are what we chinese have learned in 5000 years, work hard and play hard. Supreme concentration at work and fully enjoy the fun while relexing. It's the balance of Ying and Yang.

Then had a Dai Seng Gung/Fu Cha/Ga Liu/Wong Lou Gat, at a roadside stall selling all sorts of chinese herbal tea. This 1 I had damm good, it can 'cold' down the 'fire' in ones body, even better than Ice Bali.
End of Afternoon part of the date ...


Then later at night we all are organized to join the Karaoke Session with Photokakis, in RedBox@The Curve...Always fun to gather with all these nice people ...

AhTak, Jacq, Jian, Eric, Brenda and WongSW, then later AndyGoh came join the fun
The happy ones enjoying themselfs ....
And the bored ones kena bored .. heheheh

Alway pleasure and fun going out with lovely people ~~

So the happy after reading some "comment"s that Jomel has written for me here...



Me and Jomel had some conversations about relationships and kids, how are they related to each other and ...... you want to know result of the conversations ? Spare me some time so I can do a proper documentation ... heheheh, stay tuned !!!

We always take things for granted,

both things and people around.

We thought there's always next time,

we thought there's nothing wrong.

We thought things broken are fixable,

we thought it's ok ... But It never was.



Things broken are never meant to be fix,

even if you can put them back together,

It will never be same anymore.

Why break it then ?

You already know it's gonna hurt...

Suppose to post this long ago one .. but you know lah .. I always got excuse to run away from posting entries ... hehehehe. Took me quite a while to select and edit the pictures from what I've taken in Ipoh. Most of the pictures I like, but not all the pictures are good, that's why it took me so long to do this entry ... hehehe, paiseh.



This trip was planned when I was talking about foods with LB and May and Jomel in one of our hangOuts 2 weeks back. So after confirmations and preparations, we are the way to Rock !!! In Ipoh !!! yeah ~ Actually for food hunting. As LB keep on reminding me how good was the food in Ipoh and .... seriously that's dead tempting. hehehehehe. So ... More information here, here...



On the Way ...

First stop Bidor. Out of no where Jomel remind us about the tasty Ngap Tui Min in Midor, and there we go.... Zheng lah .... Hou Hou sek ah ......
Chen Bao. You wont miss this shop when you reach Midor. Order yourself Kon Lou Ngap Tui Min and White Coffee, and be satisfied. Hou Hou sek ah ...Also, get some biskuts here as you want don't want to spend more time in Ipoh as you can all the HiQuality biskuts back to KL or anywhere as souvenir or gifts or anything else ...


Another angle another feel of the same shop.Old School Tiang with OldSchool feel .... I'm Loving it.
Not just another Kon Lou Min like everywhere else. Should be some home-made-special sauce or something. And the mee also, even after you leave it there for while, and it won't harden and stick together. It maintain the softness and tenderness till the last bite of it. Must try ....

THe Infamous Ngap Tui Min. Whole Duck leg double steamed with lots of chinese herbs that bring out fantastic aroma and the herds which is really good for human body. Duck meat are so soft and tender that it almost melt when you put it in your mouth, minimal chewing required to consume. Ah .... Fantastica !

Old-school Signboards you'll see hanging around everywhere in Midor, small old town, clear sky and warm people. I can feel that everyone is smiling at me.

Pictures I like most, among those I took in Bidor...



So after the great meal we continue our journy to Ipoh.... And all along the way...
This is what you'll see. Clear blue sky ... Nice cloud formations ... I think I fall asleep twice in the car ....





Skip the part we reach our Hotel ler, unpacking and peeing and shitting are nothing much to talk about ... or maybe not...

View Of Ipoh town from hotel room ...




So after all the peeing and shitting and chatting in the hotel room, we cant tahan the hunger already and continue hunting for good food, where pratically nothing taste bad in Ipoh I guess, as you won't see and restaurants or food stall not packed with humans.... And I wonder too ... How can Ipoh with so many Leng Lui even with all the good food, or rather how they do their diet ??? ......hhmm....
And we come to this shop called Tin Jun to continue our journey. Small stalls inside with varies types of food. Like Poh Piah. Seriously I never tried any Poh Piah this good before. Not Sabah, not KL, not PJ, certainly not in Ikano. The outer skin was so thin you wont even notice it was there in you mouth. I think the have dried shrimps inside to bring out more taste and to make it very chrunchy. Nice ....
Unforgettable meat balls. They have Pork, beef, fish, pork tenderloin and beef tenderloin. I live the beef ones, little bit of ginger to cover up the "seng mei" ... nice touch.
"Fried Ice Cream ????? Meh Lei Geh ???" Yeah ... Jomel's expression when we told her what is Fried IceCream. Well, it's ice-cream wrapped with some flour and deep fried in really really really hot oil for seconds. A bite of it and you feel both hot and cold in once ... Zheng ah !!!!


Some cakes and biskuts being displayed in the glass shelf... Nice hor, pity I cant fill more in my stomach that day ler ... :(



......

At night what we do ??? Makan lah ofcoz ... You don't want to waste time doing anything else in Ipoh, coz you just simply dun want to miss any food in Ipoh. Seriously, anything looks good and tasty to me .... Am I getting fatter now ???
Nga Choi in Wong Kei. Yes, they have a few shops here selling Nga Choi Gai, and all claim to be the best in wown, but who cares. Anything will do as long as its Ipoh Nga Choi Gai, right ? Do I still need to say more bout Nga Choi Gai ? hehehe.....
And we are so smart. We didnt fill up our stomach coz we want to save some compartment for the rest of the Food Hunt. Next door, Lou Ju Yoke ! Yeah !!! I am not sure how to say "Lou" in Angmoh, but I think is boil in think sauce to some time ... I guess, hehhehe. Anyway. GOOD !!! GOOD GOOD !!! Am I saying GOOD to much already ? Not yet ...
Not Too much of GOOD... never too much okay ? This is the place we had Ju Chap Juk. Mixed Pig Internal Organs Porridge. Doesnt sound good meh ? Wait till you have a bowl of it ...
Dunno how to describe. Porridge are not too waterry, not too thick. Taste ... smooth and filling. The meats are cook just nice, some deep fried and boiled in the porridge, so the flavor are mixed in the porridge... ZHENG AH !!!!

And the next morning ......


How can we go Ipoh and didnt go Fo San !!! And yes !!! We been there for the DimSums .... GOOD ! But I just want to complain abit ler, so un-civilize waiting behind people for table, stuffy and hot, took so long for the Har Gau, and, no electricity for 30mins. Fantastic...

What do you think ? Dim Sum, major ingrediants can be pork and prawns, ration and methods of preparing varies from shop to shop. Fu San punya, damm good...
One of the favorite dish. Prawns with a little bit of pork wrapped in translucent layer of flour. Steam to perfection of seeing the ingredients thru the thin layer of flour, and how can you resist ? I can't and i ate at least 4 biji of that. hehehe
Lor Mai Gai, glutinous rice steam with chicken and muchrooms and some special sauce. Soft on the rice, chewy on the mushroom and tender chicken piece. Quite filling, so dun eat too much else you can eat other DimSums ...
Dan Tart. Need great skill to make it tasty. The egg in the middle must soft and smooth, smoother than pudding is a must. The out part which is the "cake" that holds the filling, must be chrunchy, chewy means failure. If i am hungry i can eat 6~7 of that, not hungry maybe 2. hehehehe.
Some Classin Chinese Tea Cup. In chinese, tea drinking is an art, is the art to sit down and relex, is the art of getting together with friends. But I think I am too young to learn that yet, right ?



Ofcoz no one can have enuff Ipoh White Coffee, and we proceed to another shop for more coffee, we are just so addicted to coffee.
They a fantastic way to deliver the coffee to the customers, like carry stacks of beers liddat. Cool ... I even have LOMO version of that ...




Classic, yellowish stain and you can tell how old is the place. I dun think the stuff can rememer when is the last time the clean it up.




Some other pictures I took in Ipoh and I love them so much ... Just to share with you all. Can you feel the word "Classic" from the pictures ?
