Wan Ton Mee - How it's made?

2010-03-15T01:35:00.000+08:00

We had a lot of Wan Ton Mee/noodles before but do you know how it's made? Well it had been a long while since i do something to this blog so just figure i'll just update something here :)

This is the machine which a wheel will keep spinning and the mechanism will flatten the flour/egg/whatever not.

Adjusting the lever it will then cut the flour into thin shaped noodles :)

And of course it's ready to be cooked and eaten :)

Duck meat in Taman Mayang

2008-07-29T03:54:00.002+08:00

Auntie selling duck meat by the road. Has been doing that for years it seems.

Meat is nice and tender. Half a duck cost RM16. No place to seat, you'll need to pack it.

Location is near the traffic lights between Taman Megah and Taman Mayang (near the primary school).

Comes with 3 sauces.

Instant Miso Soup

2008-07-29T03:37:00.002+08:00

There seems to be a Japanese food fair in Isetan KLCC last few weeks. So happens that I was there and a japanese guy was trying quite hard to sell me one of these. An instant miso soup pack. Just add water. That easy!

Its not bad, so I bought a packet of 12 which cost RM16.

Garden Vegetarian Restaurant

2008-07-25T03:28:00.002+08:00

Was in Uptown yesterday hoping to get some dvds. Ended up with empty hands. Then I saw this vegetarian restaurant. Since I've been eating too much meat these days, might as well eat something different.

And again, I forgot to bring my camera. Had to rely on my handphone.. =P
Anyway, its a quick dinner, didn't order anything fancy. It was a little bit pricey (well for me) as the portion was quite small.

If you want to try it out, its on the same row as Starbucks and opposite of McDonalds.
Address:
10, Jalan SS 21/39
Damansara Utama

Asam fish

Their famous Claypot Chicken Rice

And some veges

Hokano Japanese Restaurant

2008-07-22T19:33:00.005+08:00

One of my friend came across this small(half a shop) japanese restaurant in Uptown. Its on the same row as Maybank facing LDP.

The place isn't that cramp up as it looks. When I got there, there were a few tables with family with children. So it looks like a family friendly place. Note that there are only limited places to seat in there.

Food is really worth it and nice. They have mostly set meals (i think). Price is very reasonable.

The shop closes on Sundays.

Address:
74, Jalan SS21/35
Damansara Utama

The salmon set - 1 big piece of salmon with vege, soup, beancurd, dessert, rice and salad
Cost about RM 18

Comes with sweet and juicy watermelons and beancurd

Kanozen - 3 pieces of sushi, 3 slices of sashimi, tempura with 2 prawns, salad, soup, rice and 3 slices of unagi and dessert.
Cost is about RM23.50

So total price for meals + drinks = about RM43. All I can say is I'm a happy customer!

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in The Curve

2008-07-21T21:23:00.003+08:00

Its been a very long time since I've posted anything....time to it moving again...

Have been passing by this shop everytime I'm in The Curve. One day, I've decided to give it a try. Its a cosy place, but I find that the chair is to close to the table...Other than that, everything looks like you are in a cowboy/oldies town.

Didn't ate much, just chillie shrimps and salmon. Price is ok(moderate), since you get nice and fresh shrimps.

The table has cute picture of a shrimp!

How to stop a waiter/waitress? Just flip the chart from Run Forest Run to Stop Forest Stop!

Menu on a pingpong bat!

Thai Snacks

2007-12-28T06:35:00.000+08:00

One of my colleagues just came back from Thailand and brought back some of their local snacks.
Taste a bit like our own Penang snacks though... =P

Korean Tea

2007-12-27T06:23:00.000+08:00

Was at this Korean salon and the hair dresser gave me a box of Korean teabags.
It smells and taste like green tea + toast or something...can't really find the word for it.
Anyway.. 1st time drinking it and its nice. Everyone should go try it...though I dunno where you can get it..LOL..

Ducati

2007-12-06T07:57:00.000+08:00

Swimming session

2007-11-27T22:44:00.000+08:00

My niece is just about 8 1/2 months old and she loves playing with water. She will always have her weekend swimming session with my brother and sis-in-law. Of course its more like playing water for her since she doesn't know how to swim yet! Took a few shot of her in the water when I was there visiting.

Food in Bentayan

2007-11-12T14:16:00.000+08:00

When you are in Johor, Muar, you should try the food at Jalan Bentayan. Its a open air food court and is always loaded with people. You might want to get there early to get places to seat.
As I've already taken my dinner, I went there just for a minor supper. This place opens daily till late at night.

Ipoh food

2007-11-07T07:45:00.001+08:00

Last weekend was my company's away day trip in Tambun, Ipoh. Managed to grab a few famous food for dinner and supper in Ipoh town.

Then my colleagues and I went to tapao food back to the hotel as well. My stomach was exploding.

Next morning, after the hotel breakfast (s*cks!), we went to the town again to tapao food...and drank the famous Ipoh white coffee in Old town Ipoh.

Marco's Pizza

2007-10-23T16:10:00.000+08:00

Went out with Steve and his wife last weekend for dinner. They wanted to go Marco's Pizza...and had invited me to tag along.

To me, the food was normal, but the service there was quite bad.
Since we have already ordered our food, we decided to stay put.

Steve's wife ordered the soup for starters. Looks like a homemade vegetable soup. Not sure how it taste like.

Then came the tabasco sauce. Huge!

Then the 2 large Hawaiian pizza and Conpolo pizza (which states chef's recommendation in the menu)

Total = ~ RM77

Went back to hometown and was craving for bak kut teh. I thought this was those ordinary bak kut teh with salted vege.

And of course you will need the chillies and garlics and chinese tea.

Brown or yam rice...not sure..Total price for 6 person was RM30++.

Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2007 (MIFC)

2007-08-23T16:41:00.000+08:00

Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2007 Putrajaya International Convention Centre will be the venue for the 1st Malaysia International Fireworks Competition.

I was there for the Team Australia's fireworks yesterday. Both Putrajaya and Cyberjaya were packed with cars and all along the lake, tripods can be seen as well =)
With so much cars, best logical place to see is by the lake. Had some problems with the camera settings, therefore, the pics turn out like shit.

Bali Trip - 4th Day (20.07.2007)

2007-08-08T13:21:00.000+08:00

The last day of the trip was in Ubud town. The Puri Saren Agung (Ubud Palace) is situated at the heart of Ubud and is just opposite the market. By day, the palace welcome visitors to walk around and is transformed into a backdrop for traditional dance performances during the night. The compounds are also been converted into hotel rooms for tourists but still retain the authentic features of the puri.

Just beside the puri is the Ubud Market. The market basically sells everything from clothes to woodcarvings to vegetables. The market is a 2 level building with empty spaces in the middle. It is packed with tourists and the prices here are a bit steep. However, bargaining is always an art for the Balinese. In every shop, you can hear both the buyer and the seller bargaining with different expressions.
In the evening, it was time to catch the flight and head back home. There are still so much to see yet so little time. Hope to make it a longer trip the next time.

Bali Trip - 3rd Day (19.07.2007)

2007-08-08T12:59:00.000+08:00

Ubud, sometimes known as the real Bali, which is in contrast with Kuta. The people of Ubud are known for their paint, carve, dance and music, and strict religious practices.

In Batubulan, it’s more of a public-transport interchange for bemos. However, it is the home for the famous Barong troupes and is respected across the whole island for its stonecarvers.

The Barong-Rangda dance represents the conflict between the good and evil. And again, is one of the symbolic episodes in the Mahabhrata story. Rangda(queen of witches) is often called as a character that causes harm, evil and destruction while the Barong is always the defender of the good. The image of Rangda can be seen everywhere in Bali, especially in temples. She has a long hair with flames coming out from her head. Her face is hideous with bulging eyes, a gaping mouth, huge teeth and a long tongue that touches her knees. Her fingernails are long and curled and she has an enormous breast. The Barong shows a more lovable figure, a shaggy-haired creature like a horse and a Chinese dragon. There are a few Barongs such as Barong Ket (lion), Barong Macan (tiger), Barong Bangkal (wild boar) and Barong Celeng (pig).

Next to Batubulan is Celuk, known as the silver village because it’s a major center for jewellery production. Nearly the whole stretch of houses and shops here sells silver, gold and other jewelleries.

The main temple, Pura Desa Puseh, in the north of the village is heavily decorated. It has a five-tiered gateway tower inspired by Indian religious architecture. In this temple, there are some Buddha images, which differs from the other Balinese temple.

There are basically 3 main roads north of UBUD that leads to the Gunung Batur. Upon heading up to the crater rims of Gunung Batur, rice paddies can be seen from above. The terraces are carved from the hillsides of the island.

It has been roughly 20 years since Gunung Batur erupted. It is scary to see the volcano still smoking, but the locals do belief that its better if Batur lets off a little steam regularly rather than saving it all up for a major blow. The view from Penelokan, which means, “place to look” is amazing. Tourists pass through Penelokan everyday, attracting locals selling all sorts of stuffs. It’s really a pain as they will follow and keep pestering you to buy and even offering the cheapest price. This crater rim is also packed with restaurants offering expensive buffet lunches. But it might be worth it – think of having lunch while enjoying the cool breeze and the amazing view of the volcano. It is said that the water surrounding the volcano is suppose to be holy as well.

On the way down, there’s a small coffee plantation along the road. Tourist will go through the plantation with trees labeled before actually arriving at the shop. Resting huts are prepared on the hillsides for tourist to enjoy a cup of 6 different kinds of drinks. It is a relaxation to be able to drink and enjoy the scenery of greens there.

Balinese from every corner of the island make pilgrimages to Tirta Empul, which is somewhere in Kintamani. They locals come here to cleanse themselves and to cure their physical ailments by bathing in the holy springs here. Legend says that the god Indra first tapped the springs during his battle with the evil Mayadanawa, early ruler of the Pejeng kingdom. Mayadanawa then poison the rivers, so Indra pierced the earth to release a spring of pure and sacred water – the elixir of immortality. Hence this new spring is called as Tirta Empul and has been the holiest in Bali. The bathing pools are sunk in the ground of the outer courtyard, fed by water from the springs in the inner sanctuary. Men, women and priests each have their own section of the pool.

The Sacred Monkey Forest Santuary is located in Ubud. Balinese treat monkeys with great respect and is important to the Balinese culture. Therefore, this forest is for the home of these monkeys. This is considered as a holy area and an important ecological preserve. There are 3 holy temples in this forest, the Pura Dalem Agung Temple, the Holy Bathing Temple which a structure of “Three Mandalas” and the Pura Prajapati (the funeral or cremation temple).

Bali Trip - 2nd Day (18.07.2007)

2007-08-03T12:45:00.000+08:00

The hotel provided free continental breakfast, which comes with either coffee or tea. It was a wrong move to call for the coffee, as it seems like unfiltered coffee. Every morning, the Balinese women will do the simplest offerings before starting the day. These offerings are called canang, which consist of tiny banana-leaf trays, pinned together and filled rice and 6-7 different types of symbolic flowers with incense. The different colours of flowers represents different Hindu god. When the offering is place down, she will sprinkle a few drops of holy water over the canang and fans the incense smoke heavenwards so that the appropriate god will come down and enjoy it.

The streets of Kuta isn’t very wide and the back lanes are extremely narrow. Surprisingly cars are able to maneuver on this 2 way back lane. Even in back lanes, there are small temples. Each Balinese house compound is built within a confining wall with unique architecture for some.

Yes, the beach of Kuta – nice and clean but is often packed with tourist and annoying saleswomen. Needless to say, the wave attracts a lot of surfers. Even our McDoc wants to surf.

About 18km northwest of Denpasar, the small village of Mengwi has a history as a powerful kingdom. Pura Taman Ayun is the state temple of the former kingdom of Mengwi. This temple has inner courtyard, middle courtyard and outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is inaccessible to public except for festival time, therefore, there is a pavement on both sides with low walls for tourist to see the shrines and bale within. Basically, whatever size, status or function of a temple will have similar layout (3 courtyard).

The north and east sides of the compound are lined with a multi-tiered meru (multi-tiered Hindu shrine with odd roofs). The most important of these are the three that honour Bali’s holiest mountains as they occupy positions on Bali in relation to Mengwi. The eleven-roofed structure represents Gunung Batukau, the nine-roofed structure represents Gunung Batur and beside Batur is eleven-roofed Gunung Agung.

Next stop was Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest. The temple within this compound is known as pura dalem (temple of the dead). Feeding the monkeys is option. There’s nothing much to see besides looking at monkeys lazing and playing around.
Please do not get a guide, as they will pester you into visiting their souvenir shop where they won’t easily let you off. But then again, you have no choice because the whole lots of them are sitting there waiting for their prey.

Stop of the day is Tanah Lot. Along the road leading to Pura Tanah Lot, a lot of stalls can be seen selling all sorts of stuffs. Prices here aint that cheap. Tourist area, what do you expect =P

The Pura Tanah Lot does deserve to be named as one of Bali’s top sight. Pura Tanah Lot is also one of Bali’s holiest places; closely related with several others along the coast such as Pura Rambut Siwi and Pura Luhur Uluwatu. The sunset view is beautiful and attracts a lot of tourist. But the view will depend on the weather though. The Pura Tanah Lot is inaccessible by public as only devotees are allowed to climb the temple stairway carved out of the rock face. When the waters are low, we can take a sip of the holy water that rises beneath the temple rock. There is a priest that will give prayers to those that had wash with the holy water. Donation seems like mandatory though.

Dinner time again! This time it was in Seminyak. One of the old and famous warong called Warong Made. It’s so famous that you will need to book a table a day in advance first. Warong Made has been there for years and has 2 branches in Bali itself. Environment is quite cozy and the customers there are mostly mat sallehs. Price here is quite reasonable and the portion is quite big. And they even have satay babi and babi guling in their menu. I wonder how their babi guling looks like. Babi guling will need to be ordered 1 day in advance. So, too bad. There was even belly dancing performance on stage during the dinner, which lasted for…lets see…5 minutes.

Bali Trip -1st Day (17.07.2007)

2007-08-02T12:32:00.000+08:00

Travel and Leisure Magazine named Bali as the World’s Best Island. Sounds interesting? Book a flight and head on there. That’s what I did with the free seats offered by Air Asia last year. Looking out from the plane’s window, the Ngurah Rai Airport - Bali’s only airport (sometimes referred to as being in Denpasar) seems to be built beside the sea! The weather was a mixture of cool and hot due to the strong winds.

Headed to their town called Kuta, the only place in Bali, which you can find Hard Rock, McD’s, KFC and other famous branded outlets. The currency used here is mostly in US Dollar, however, in other places up north, the Indonesia Rp takes over. Didn't really went into Hard Rock though.

In Kuta, there are plenty of hotels along all the main roads with the price ranging roughly between Rp50, 000 till USD 150 and above per night. Needless to say there were a lot of drivers and taxis around honking you and asking if you need a ride. Checked into a mid-budget hotel and called for a driver. First destination was to the Pura Luhur Uluwatu, which is near the Suluban Beach on the far south of Bali.

There’s not much traffic lights in Bali but there’s sure a lot of roundabouts (big and small ones). At each of these roundabouts, you can spot a statue or figurine in the middle of the road, which are being prayed by the locals.

It was a breathtaking sight at Pura Luhur Uluwatu. The Pura (which means temple) is one of Bali’s holiest and most important temples, which is situated on the tip of a rocky cliff roughly 70m above the foaming surf. In the compound of this temple, the locals have built a small stage to perform the Kecak Dance (sometimes called as the monkey dance). The dance represents the main episode of the Ramayana story, where the demon king Rawana kidnapped Sita.

The dance took quite a while (from evening till night). It was time for dinner! The famous seafood dinner by the beach would be in Jimbaran. There were so many seafood restaurants beside the Jimbaran Bay. Looking at the menu, some of the seafood has 2 options – either fresh or live. You will need to choose for example live prawns or fresh prawns and how many kilos and how you want it cooked. The environment there is the perfect picture of a romantic dinner. Imagine, candlelight dinner by the beach, wind blowing gently, stuffing yourself with the amount of seafood and musicians playing beside your table (yes, like it or not, you will need to pay for the musicians as they will go to each table regardless if you call for them or not). Weirdly, there are small carts by the beach as well selling steamed peanuts and roasted corns.

Jogoya Starhill Gallery Dinner

2007-07-03T12:58:00.000+08:00

Date : 30th June 2007
Venue : Jogoya, Starhill
Price / head for dinner: RM 88++ （All prices are subject to 10% service charge and 5% government tax.）

Over the weekend, our team planned to go for a dinner + farewell for Chandra. A place was booked in Jogoya, a Japanese buffet in Starhill. Our group reached about 515pm, 15 minutes later than expected, and meet up with the rest of our teammates.

The food here is fantastic! Though not so much variety to choose from, but still is more than enough! I believe most of us didn't even manage to taste everysingle food there.

After we have started eating halfway through, Steve and I saw this notice on the table. This is actually a guide on what to eat accordingly. It was a bit late for us to follow since we were already way into our main courses. Maybe next time.... So to you guys out there, remember to lookout for this before you start =P

We had the RAW... (Bernie would say fresh)

We had the Fresh...

And more!

sushi!

Some of the food there, example fishes and crabs will need to be ordered using the pre-assigned clips. Just pass the clips to the chef and they will deliver your food to your table according to the table number.

The Dudes and Dudettes are really enjoying themselves there. No doubt there was a lot of noise and disturbing behaviours going on in the room.

I wonder if we are banned from Jogoya after that trip? The whole room seems to be turned upside down.
Well, there were some deserts as well of course.

After the dinner, as planned, we were to head to Times Square for the movie Transformers. As we were all soooo full, we decided to walk there. Bukit Bintang was full of people with all sorts of new stuffs.

We were too early for the movie as it starts at 12midnight. So we went for a game of bowling.

Not bad, all teams are quite strong...and the ladies were not too bad. All teams are made up of 6 people (Min 2 ladies).

The scores were close and there was even the captain's challenge.

Well, the winner in the end was Perl, Foxpro in second.
There are still more games to come. Hope I will have the time to cover the events.

Super GT 2007

2007-06-27T18:28:00.000+08:00

The SUPER GT INTERNATIONAL SERIES MALAYSIA race, Round 4 of the 2007 AUTOBACS SUPER GT, took place at the Sepang International Circuit (lap = 5.542 km) in Malaysia on June 22-24. The event takes 3 days - Practise round, Qualifying round and the Race Day.

A group of us, mainly the KSC Photography club members took this opportunity to go for this event. On Saturday, we gathered in the office and head towards Sepang using the new Dengkil highway (which is much faster and no-toll!). Most of us didn't bring much water bottle in coz last year, the guards actually stopped us from bringing it in. This year, the guards were a bit slack though.

Reached there about 11am++ and decided to go to the tower to do some panning shots of the cars.

By 12pm, there was already a long queue waiting to go to the Pit Walkabout. The pit walkabout is only for 30 minutes. So we waited patiently and made our way to the pit stop where all the race queens will stand and pose for us. To our dismay, the race queens came out late! But its still ok, we don't mind =)

So all of us, rushed to each pit stop to take pictures like mad cows. I had to fight with the other photographers to get a good position. People there were pushing and punching each other.

After the pitwalkabout, some of us head on to the restricted area behind the pit stop. There's so many fantastic stuff to see. A note to those who has never been to the restricted area, please bring more cash. In the cafe, a can of softdrink cost RM6 and a burger cost RM20 I think. But you will definitely enjoy the airconditioned cafe + the view. Its an experience.

A scene behind the pitstop and the airconditioning cafe with a nice view

After getting our drinks, we saw drivers and race queens walking about, so we decided to take pictures of them and also with them. This is an experience you will never get if you just sit around in the grand stand.

We were there for almost the whole day. By the end of the day, we were sooo tired, and we decided to call it for the day. We came back to the office and started to sort all the pictures (which is in hundreds) and finally selected a few pictures to be printed. We quickly went to the Equine Park's Jusco to get it printed in the Kodak shop. The print kiosk prints instantly and cost RM 1 a piece(heartpain).

The next day (24th June), we headed to Sepang again. The weather looks fine with dark clouds. We thought it was going to rain and hope for the best. Again we lined up to go to the Pit Walkabout. When we were in, we rushed to the pit stops to get the race queens' autograph. The weather now changed to a super duper hot striking sun weather. We were all sweating and sweating and sweating non stop. I can feel my skin burning and our faces were all red.

Finally, when the time's up for the pit walkabout, we head back to the restricted area once more. In there, we can see photographer having photoshoots with the race queens. So we tag along as well..hehehe...

We hang around the containers' area for shade until its time for the starting grid lineup. We went in to the track and started taking pictures of the cars, drivers, race queens and mechanics. Everyone was crazy...and the temperature was freaking hot. The heat from the tar and the sun made me dizzy (like in a boat) and nearly faint. Pity those girls and drivers standing there. Can see their sweat everywhere but they still have to stand and smile for us.

As most of us aren't free, we decided to head back at 4.50pm. So we didn't get to see the podium and celebration.

Business visit to Shell Refinery PD 2007

2007-06-25T14:55:00.000+08:00

Venue : Shell Refining Company (Federation of Malaya) Berhad
Date : 21st June 2007
Time : 10a.m.

Recently there's a business visit organised by GFAS to Shell Refining Company in Port Dickson. Our group was the first batch to visit the Refinery Company this year and what an experience we had.

We started to gather and check in at the Lobby of TO office. Getting our beverage and sign our name in we headed to the bus waiting for us out side the parking lot. Everyone's punctual and our bus left for PD sharp on 10.30a.m.

The Trip to PD went smoothly and we reached our destination for lunch a little bit early. We are already in PD and they had organised lunch at a restaurant name Restoran Ummi Seafood Village.

The tomyam is nice, not too spicy and enough taste to last in your tongue. Ikan bakar was freshly fried over an open fire outside the restaurant.

The lunch sessions was supposed to last 1 hour and 30 minutes but we finish early. So we headed to the BEACH! Well, Beaches in PD was beautiful. It was clean and the sand is soft, but by the time we are there was just noon, so it was very very hot!

Reach Refinery way ahead of scheduled time. We are at least 15 minutes early than the appointment with SRCPD. The refinery was huge, one of the largest in Peninsula Malaysia for Shell. This refinery holds the crude oil that has been brought in by tanker ships to be sent and processed. In here, household gas and petrol are also being produced for lorry tankers to be distributed to the petrol stations. As the refinery is a hazardous place, no electronic devices can be brought in. Hence, no cameras in the area as well.
