summer vacation back home

Posted on by Jamie Liew

warning! this is quite a personal post. travel post readers might find this boring =X.

my first summer vacation in Malaysia after 3 years. no doubt many things has changed. the crazy jam all over because of the MRT, inflation of almost everything, friends all started to work and the worst thing was, it is the busiest month for all. but nevertheless I am really grateful for those who had to travel all the way to see me because my license expired.. too long ago to be renewed. it is actually a good thing that I can’t drive. I don’t want to hurt anybody =X. I admit, I’m a lousy driver hahahahah. I’ve been told that I’m multi talented. but I can’t drive well and I have not mastered the basic skill to cycling, skating and anything involving balance with ANOTHER object. okay except high heels.

so as soon as I’m back, Pavilion was my first destination. and coincidentally, there was a K-festival thingy going on. my mom didn’t believe that those behind those costumes are Malaysian she had to ask them. I AM RIGHT! Continue reading “summer vacation back home” →

[Malaysia: Klang] one of the BEST BAKUTEH in Klang!

Posted on by Jamie Liew

I really have no idea which is the correct spelling.

bak kut teh?

bukuteh?

bahkuteh?

whatever it is, IT’S STILL DELICIOUS. for a Cheras girl like me, travelling all the way down Klang IS A HASSLE. so to you other people who seldom make it to Klang, let me introduce you (my uncle said it’s one of the best and judging by how crowded it is I guess he’s right!) one of the most delicious Bakuteh in Klang.

the shop’s name is Restoran Kee Heong. [map at the end of the post] Continue reading “[Malaysia: Klang] one of the BEST BAKUTEH in Klang!” →

[Malaysia: Malacca] Chicken Rice Ball

Posted on by Jamie Liew

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. Continue reading “[Malaysia: Malacca] Chicken Rice Ball” →

just last Friday, Nigel dragged me down to Johor Bahru (because he said I have NO LIFE.), the border line of Singapore. (so tempted to visit Singapore T_T). The best thing was, he only took 3 hours to reach. =D! highway is the best. especially with NO JAM at all. I had fun looking at all those cheap chocolates at Zone. =D. I envy all JB people because they can get a supply of cheap chocolates pfft.

[Malaysia: KL] Wong Si Nai & Eiffel

Wong Si Nai @ Pudu. right opposite the Pudu LRT Station. =D. a cozy place suitable for people whom are still in secondary school/college. yummy budget place =P. and oh, you can see scribbles and papers all over the walls. you can do that too if you want! =D.

Yee Jin recommended me this place actually. and that is his favourite thai styled chicken rice. I won’t know Pudu would actually have food if it wasn’t for him anyway. =D.  it isn’t exactly near me you see. but I LOVE those drinks. Continue reading “[Malaysia: KL] Wong Si Nai & Eiffel” →
