Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

I don’t really look like my mom =X. but we both love the chee cheong fun very much. we both had two BIG plate EACH!

TADA! the Ha Kou Chee Cheong Fun! <3. the best thing I’ve ever tried. but if you hate ha kou, then don’t try it haha.

after being hit by the hazard caused by my chopsticks!

okay the shop is not only famous for these.

their Char Kuey Teow is very famous as well. but the thing is, 90% of the kuey teow you can get will satisfy you. it isn’t the best, but it’s GREATTT.

their menu. I had Omelette B, C was sold out T_T. trust me, it spells D_E_L_I_C_I_O_U_S. I thought it was just normal omelette at first so I didn’t take any picture of it. they didn’t use normal cheese. they used CREAM CHEESE. oh nom nom nom nom!

IMG_2528

otak-otak. I prefer the ones here compared to the ones in Muar, I’m weird. >=(. I like how they have those vegetables in it. YUMM. but the one sold at this coffee shop ain’t as good. go buy it from the “neighbour”.

here’s the neighbour’s contact. not sure if it’s RM2.50 or what. somewhere there. it’s seriously damn good. T_T. I wanted more but we only went there once. sigh.

and on the ferry, I thought I was going to face the most tragic situation of my life. the PETROL factory (Shell) was in that state. lucky it didn’t blow up or something. I was literally scared. T_T.

SATAY CELUP! Malacca

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

ever heard of Satay Celup? it’s basically lok-lok. but instead dipping it into boiling clear water, you dip them into boiling satay sauce!

IMG_3734

the most famous Satay Celup Restaurant in Malacca, Capitol Satay Celup. EVERYBODY in Malacca knows about it. so to find it, just ask around =D. we reached the shop at approximately 6pm, and there was already a long queue. so we rushed over and look.

IMG_3740

this is what’s behind us after 3 minutes? of waiting. it’s longer than what the picture shows actually, my bad estimation =(.

IMG_3759

and we left at about 8pm. ate for about an hour plus hahahha. it was GREAT. and as a person so new to it, eating almost everything is a MUST. you need to TRY! =D

IMG_3745

the inside seats. there are at most 10 tables from what I see, and their business is SO GOOD. pfft. look at the walls, most of them are singaporean celebrities.

IMG_3744

IMG_3757

they soon later brought a bucket of satay sauce. about the hygiene, I am not really sure about if they REUSE the satay sauces. but we usually just dip in it and take it out anyways, not like we lick it and put it back inside. what’s disgusting in my opinion is, IF they really reuse it, what if somebody coughed into the pot =X. or tercough or something. don’t know lah! but I guess there are no complaints since it’s so “laku”. =P.

IMG_3756

I have NO IDEA what they kept adding into the sauce, but it was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. peanuts and sugar was one of the things I spotted. and something else.. it’s like those fragrant stuff which could be found in rendangs. I don’t really know how to describe it but it’s those long thin thingys =X. very delicious when eaten =D. chewy too.

IMG_3747

like the normal lok-lok, they charge by stick too =D. and they standardize it to 80cents each! =D. yum.

what I heard is so great about this place compared to the others, their seafood quality is really good.

quote from Natalie about delicious prawns : those prawns were literally bouncing! (haha she’s so cute and that is one good quote!)

and what she said could be applied to the prawns here. they are HUGE. I am allergic to them but I ate 3. to the lazy people out there : the prawns are skinned, don’t worry =D.

IMG_3749

my choice. exclude the vegetables, those are fatty Darren’s! =P.

those taiwan lapcheongs were awesome. they are like the number 1 thing I’d look for in pasar malam but who knows what chunks are in there to make it so tasty. =X. sometimes certain lapcheong I ate in china tasted lik intestines. ew. T_T. this is awesome too though =P.

and intestines are awesome too I just said ew for fun. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

bread is a MUST order. it is SO DAMN GOOD. especially with the satay celup sauce. but then do be careful because dipping bread into the sauce is very different from dipping meat or cucumber in it. the bread soaked all the sauce in it, making it extra hot. watch out from burning your tongue!

 mce_href=IMG_3753

hello. =D.

and hi Wei Zhong. you need a haircut. he hates appearing in my blog. but this one is rare okay Zhong? pfft.

aiyah I must take a picture with the food to prove that I was actually really there. =P.

PROVEN!

Chicken Ball Rice @ Malacca

Friday, August 13th, 2010

this is one of the more famous restaurant, called the “Famosa Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant”. it is located at Jonker Street but the one I had was.. where my GPS took me. it’s at the shop lots. =D. pretty near to Tan Kim Hock’s branched out shop. =D.

it’s basically the ordinary chicken rice RICE, squeezed into a ball — looks special, doesn’t taste special. it just makes me eat more rice because the rice became so compact. equivalent to : fatter.

we ordered pretty much just for the 3 of us. there was another plate of that rice ball. it is said that 5 riceballs = 1 plate of rice. but it doesn’t fill you so fast, because it’s in that form. haha. their poultry was.. quite good, not very but quite. I liked the chilli though =D. it is worth a try I’d say, but not something I would crave for.

I seldom have candids because I am very alert at when the camera points at me. but when other people are playing with my camera for an excessive time, I’d pay less attention. =D.

Malaysia’s next top model poses. HAHA. just joking. that shelter is so small if I were fatter, I couldn’t even squeeze in. the guys had to go in sideways already!

this is actually a trip suggested by Darren. he wanted to go on a short road trip as his birthday celebration with his two besties! awwwwww <3.

ugh, I HATE wearing flats whenever I meet both of them. they make me short.

we saw some Japanese aunties posing like.. how Darren’s posing. but much more dramatically. so we decided to do something similar =D. is it me or are the building’s fading. but red is no good, according to colour studies, it makes you more aggressive HAHAHA. =D.

Malacca is now under the world heritage site, by the way. =P.

I am scared of cats. not kittens but cats. they aren’t big but they’re always looking evil. >_<”.

meow.

my initial Idea didn’t work out. first, I had too little make up on. second, I don’t look emo, third, the weather ain’t helping me out on lightings.

so here’s the big poser trying to express my idea. phail.

he is usually not camera shy. just with mine. probably he knows it’ll be HERE. =P.

Wei Zhong’s work of art. the streets of Jongker on a weekday.

Darren is.. sigh.

it’s true. life would be dull and boring without him. heh.

Taiwanese Food @ Fong Lye, Gardens.

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

this would be my second time posting about it. hehe. about a month (yes it have been that long!) ago, my mom and I brought my grandma out to the malls. this would be the rarest situation because she doesn’t even like to go out! not only that, it is already rare to see me in malls with my mom. ahhaha. my mom said when you get older you’d find malls boring. hope not? =/.

my beloved grandma! I would say, she’s the number 1 woman to me =D. I was born without any grandpa’s. but having my grandma is enough <3.

she cooks very well too, so I wouldn’t simply take her to any food. only GOOD ones =D.

Spicy Beef Stew.

I’ve had this the last time I came. and that mango salad side dish with jellyfish(?) is VOLUPTUOUS. soup’s great too! tip for female : you either order a drink and become too full to drink the soup, don’t order any drinks or the best choice, share the drink. haha.

when I ate something I really like, it’ll take me a few times to move on to the next dish I guess.

but really, this is the closest thing to the niu pai I had in China.

RATING : 5STARS!

my grandma’s pineapple fish =D with saucy chopped pork on the rice.

there isn’t much pineapple taste but I guess that is how it’d taste after being cooked? the taste is really clear and the fish.. it’s just cooked so perfectly. you’d have to try it to believe it. and it is rare for my grandma to praise outside food. =P.

RATING : 5 STARS!

my mom’s chilli chicken dish. but it ain’t spicy at all. the flavour is good but I’d say it’s a bit too sweet for my likings. and it was the RECOMMENDED ITEM. but the non-recommended item tastes better. and I have to say, they are VERY generous in giving chicken. hahaha. which is a very good thing to all big tall guys =D.

RATING : 3 STARS.

forgot the name of this. but I’ll call it the taiwanese hamburger. it has a big slick of pork with sour vege and parsley and peanuts (with SUGAR! hmm?) squashed in between the bread/mantou-taste-alike.

it taste’s not bad, but I would say the combination is rather funny ahaha.

RATING : 3.5!

PS : I am very strict on my ratings alright?! =P.

my sister told me that her friends told her that this place tastes normal with bombastic prices. but I would say, it depends on what you order. you couldn’t possibly have all the luck in food. that is why you need a mole near your lips (there’s a saying that you’d have luck with food if you have a mole near your lips!). HAHAHA. (saying that because I have it, and I didn’t like it there. T_T)

this place, is worth the price.

espresSOUP @ Low Yat

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

MORE FOOD! next will be Hennessy Artistry, NO MORE FOOD. PROMISE.

though my first glance of it was in Times Square, this is my first time trying it out. there was always these long queues which discouraged me a bit. but hey! thanks to Blup Blup, I got invited to do a review for it. =D. finally after the long wonder of how this taste like.

the pretty design of its counter.

soup in bread! (and if you’re not very fond of bread, you can order it without the bread)

the bread, if I am not mistaken, is a wholemeal bread. mine’s Clam Chowder. not many people order this because it isn’t very famous in Malaysia. but seriously, this should be the best. it was so good and thick, you’ll crave for more. but the bread was a bit too much for me, I only finished half. T_T. probably because I had pasta too =X. but the soup, GONE. so good I stole Wilson’s one! guys could finish up the bread don’t worry =D.

instructions on how to enjoy the soup with the bread provided! (and this can be tapau-ed too. I saw many people tapauing these in TS and here.)

our drinks! =D. I like.

my pasta! this pasta is really good. I love pasta’s with loads of onions in them. and unlike pasta’s in other places, this one doesn’t have any weird spice taste, which is great for most Malaysian’s taste buds! well, most restaurants uses those ready made canned sauce which tastes awfully.. canned? but it’ll be super perfect with TABASCO sauce. *suggesting kekekeke* though it’s already nice like that hahaha. I love chilli  hot stuff =D.

the bread! I don’t know how this taste. it’s Tian Chads, perhaps you’d have to head over to his blog to find out =P. but he told me it’s not bad. =D.

the two that gave me my Canon remote control! =D. Simon and Jason. both also hensem kan? geniuses too!

MORE BLOGGERS! =D. awesome people!

Simon : eh where’s the present we gave you? never bring kah?
Me : GOT! LETS PLAY! =D.

camwhoring without holding the camera! hahaha xD <3.

when people shoot you, you can shoot them back =D.

a little more camwhore wookie?

#1 pretty Maine!

#2 =D.

#3 HAHAHAHAH speechless =P.

awesome freak spotted with an even more awesome lens.

Churros Royale, was told this is really good. I’d say that the Churros are really good, but the fillings are bad >_<”. I’ve tried strawberry and mango. they are crazily sweet and at the same time, it doesn’t taste good. so my advice is, order those with dips, not those with fillings. but the good part is, they are really soft inside and on the other hand, crunchy on the surface! =D!

and here’s an update of the assignments that I have been doing =D.

*these assignment pictures are clickable

my TIGERS <3. completed with artline pens and an 8B pencil for the background. lazy mau buat sketching =X.

this is called a PHOTOGRAM! and hey, I printed/processed/wash/whateveryoucallit these pictures. takes 10 mins to finish one picture. LONG procedure T_T. smelly chemicals too. but it’s all worth it. my heart was thumping as I did these, you really won’t know what you’d get seriously. you’re supposed to put designs on top of the paper, press it down and expose it to light to the time that’s suitable with your objects. eg : too long exposure will darken the whole paper, too short? you’d only see the shape of your objects, not the texture. and working in a dark room is NOT easy. @@”.

pictures from the others. =D.

ah pOp’s camera. =D. this is pretty must everybody. this started with 4 people posing. I jumped in and suddenly everybody jumped in too =X. damn random hahaha.

and Lionel’s cam..

hello =D.
