Cameron Highlands – Part 5 – Steamboat at Highlands Restaurant

27

May

If you never try Cameron Highland’s steamboat, meaning that you wasn’t there before. In this little town, steamboat restaurant is just one next to each other. In the cool temperature, its best to have hot steamboat at night. The most traditional would be the charcoal steamboat.


We asked around for the most recommended one, as advised Restoran Highlands could be the popular among the locals. It is just located behind the busy street, not that obvious, but their business is consider very good. They serve traditional Charcoal Steamboat with the very long funnel to avoid big wind blow off the fire.


The shop was just a simple coffee shop style. They will asked you the portion you want, and just wait to be served.


We ordered for 2 person’s portion. First plate served with Bihun, Veges, Assorted Meat Balls & Eggs.


The second plates come with assorted seafood.


And the final plate comes with meat plates. These are the plates that served for steamboat.


All looks so fresh and delicious! Tender & Juicy!


Alright, both of us are very hungry. Can’t wait any longer for the things to cook. We finished up everything except the plates!


Let me show you the tall funnel. Very cool right? And look, the charcoal are burning inside.


We enjoyed the meal :) There’s actually lots of other steamboat shop around. Some serve organic foods.

Anyway, we are happy with the food here. It’s only RM16 per person. I don’t think I could get these yummilicious steamboat back in Miri!  Yet another, MUST TRY! =)


Cameron Highlands – Part 3 – Strawberry Moments

26

May

Finally come the best moment that I had in Cameron, that’s having afternoon tea with my dear at Strawberry Moment. I’ve been a big fans of strawberry, for the fact, I love its colour,its shape but not the taste!

The first thing we saw in Cameron, wasn’t the big cactus statue by the road side, but many many shops and stalls selling Strawberry’s product.  And this Strawberry Moments located at Brinchang Town was located strategically  to grab our attention! It was at the back part of Brinchang Town, near to Weekend Pasar Malam.

Before we proceed to take our order, we went to the shop next to it. It runs by the same entrepreneurs. Just that the green one are more into Cameron’s local product. I saw lots of new product that I hardly get it elsewhere. But of course, we are not going to buy as I hate to bring too much things back home. My bag will be very heavy! Ooops!

Proceed to the counter, I saw lots of Strawberry flavoured cakes and dessert. Oh, its my oh my! I love the cakes, they looks so yummilicious. However, we want to keep some space for steamboat dinner. So I ended up order a piece of Strawberry Strudel.


I’ve been seeing lots of blogs recommending Strudel in Cameron. At last, I know how nice is Strawberry Strudel taste like. The puffs are soft, with fresh cream and strawberry topping.  Arrrgh, it is real great!!


As for drinks, of course, the Fresh Strawberry Juice. We couldn’t find this anywhere else in Malaysia. Hello, I know you would tell me, it might be blend from rotten strawberries. I don’t care la, take it as detox lo!


We really enjoyed the afternoon tea, sit by the corridor of the shops, enjoying the cool breeze. It was raining cats and dogs so the temperature were a bit low.  I love this place so much, and I’ve become a Strawberry Freak!! So do Alex!

This is highly recommend, the things sold here are ranging from RM5-8. Price are reasonable! Don’t forget to give them a visit ya!


The Ark Cafe & Gallery

21

May

I was here in LeArk back in Sept 2008.

Whenever there’s new eatery pop up, it will be the talk of the town.  Its been almost 2 years since my last visit. I left them a very poor review on their food.

Time passes, I wonder does my truthful review back then does bring that any improvement for Today. I think the answer should be Yes!

Will and his gang would definitely loves to hangout here during the free time. And at this time, I would take this chance to write them a second review. Of course, on the good side. =)

They’ve actually rename to The Ark. I bet probably most of the people can’t pronouce “le” ?

They are now serving more varieties of food which the main attractions would be their Authentic Thai Cuisine. The chef is really from Thailand!

The environment still as great as before. Well maintained, lighting makes the whole place looks comfy.


The first thing that Alex spotted, they’ve one functioning and online computer for customers. Not like lots of the other restaurant, putting a dummy pc but this one is working pretty fast! The Ark has their own blog now.  To my surprise, they’ve actually taken my photos without my consent! Nevermind la, free publicity, and welcome to take this batch if you like. =)


Let’s have a look on what we had, actually it was a late supper for few of us. We just had some simple Thai dish, such as Fried Mee, Fried Rice & a Papaya Salad.

Tears are bursting out from the corner of my eye.. Its real authentic, most of the food are spicy.

As for the refreshments, lots of choices as well, with reasonable price. The happiest thing is they serve FRESH cOcOnutS! Awesome ^^

For the fact that The Ark is running well, most probably they provide a very good environment for their customers.

Everyone is enjoying their food, having the good time with the loves one. ♥


Now Everyone Can’t Fly

18

May

I know I know, its ZERO FARE, sure congest so don’t complain.Right?

Do you know why the DAP in SIBU wins the battle? Its because the know what the people wants. Hence they win their votes.

Now the case, why does it relates to Elections again?

Same thing, nowadays if its not Air Asia then go for MAS.

People loves to make comparison, thats human nature, you can’t stop it.

Anyhow, I still love Air Asia. I mean there’s no harm in competitive market, at least they will do something better to serve us better. Right?

tony
Dato Tony
also loves all his supporter, hence he wrote on his Facebook page, ask us to be patient. Hmmm… I bet this is not the first time we read such msg. Ok, nevermind you don’t have a google – like server, but I bet you should have a lot of brilliant IT support at the back right?

aa cant  fly

Now, why make a fuse here? Why Everyone Can’t Fly?

Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t me who think of this Slogan, its Air Asia’s fan who came out with such slogan. And I think it rhymes well.

Betul tak?

red wallpaper
Are you familiar with this page? This is the new Air Asia’s wallpaper. Damn Cool with lots of XXX. If newbies, might tot this is a 18sx rated site. Ohmygawd!

Disappointment. Very disappointed.

The truth:

I’ve got my tickets. I spent 3 hours include searching , booking and payment.

How I did it?

I was there at Air Asia web page, waiting for the promo to launch too.

We have discussion with the travel mates along while distributing the search job too.

It ended up all went to sleep at 2 am cos it totally can’t move.

Hence, I turn on my alarm at 5am so that I could avoid the traffic jam.

5am to 8am. Do you really everyone afford to spend the time like this?

The asnwer is NO.




Oh yea, since i got my free tickets why am i making so much noise here??

I am here, not only for the zero fare. I am here to lodge a complain to Air Asia, to Dato Tony, that I actually wanted to buy ordinary fares too. But I can’t even search as usual. And this is urgent case, as they need to book tickets for a meeting. Partially I’ve booked it with MAS, but still I wanna give AA a chance!
airasia


Stop showing me this, I will throw eggs at your office later! I mean it!

IMHO

I think the next time if you wanna avoid this kind of complains, maybe you should have another gateway for special promo. At least your loyal customer won’t piss off like now.

Aiya, AA so big no need to hear my feedback la..

Betul juga, then this is my blog, and I am AA fans, I think I have the right to voice out too!

Dear Dato Tony,

I’m sorry If I ever offended you. But please la, tak ada complain mana ada maju? Right? Heheh, so I sincerely hope, you go and lecture your IT supports, brainwash them, do some BETTER improvement.

Thank You very much.

Your AA Loyal Supporter,

Mary Goolooloo =)


Biting Nails for i-phone!

17

May

Ok, if you followed my Facebook, I bet you know that I’ve put a bet with Alex that if DAP wins, he’ll get me an i-phone. Seriously, the chances for DAP to win is really 50/50. Its not that I’ve no confidence with them over this Sibu bi-election, its just the opposition ( i mean BN)  always ended up with so much dirty tricks.

DAP

Halleluyah, Rocket flies, Sibu Kampua taste even better now with the DAP. Of course, the main deal is , I got an i-phone. ;) wink wink!

I need to do a proper research before I really commit to any installment plans for 24months. His money = My money. Its not that the digi or the maxis going to give me for FREE. So I better think 50x before I really say YES to i-phone.

Make it short. I’ve done a few comparison for I-phone 3gs 16gb. Installment & contract for 24 months. Voice + Data plan.

  1. From iDigi- i88 = RM 159 per month.
  2. From Maxis, ivalue 1:  its gonna be RM158 per month.

From what we see here, its quite affordable. But when you think of the contracts for 24 months.. its gonna be a nitemare for me. And from what I research, even after the contract finish, I still have to pay for the phone. By the time I finish paying the phone, the i-phone already become ipon!

Then what you want le? So mafan?

That’s why I’m biting nails lo, I don’t want to port to Maxis or Digi. Its not the matter want or not, its the matter good or not la.

Then should I buy AP sets , which they offer for RM2400 (as at 17May2010). This deal sounds better, but hor, AP sets, would it cost me 2 days go clinic, 3 days go hospital? Still thinking…

And last, a good friend of mine, says, “Digi got people selling out set only for RM22xx“. That sounds lagi interesting!Really ma? How true is that? I don’t think there will be someone to sell out at such low price.

At last.

I’ve finish biting nails, I made a decision. NOT to BUY.

Reasons:

  • I have my Blackberry , serving me well, and doesnt cost me a cent.
  • Phone bills are subsidies by company.
  • I can’t really rely on touch screen when I need to do so much emailing everyday.
  • It was just the devil call, ignore it. Lifes goes on without I-phone!
  • Iphone 4g is coming sometime in July, why not just wait and 3gs will have better deal?

The end of the story, although I wanted to have an iphone, but thats just a certain temptation after seeing most of the people are carrying one.  So cut of all the temptation, save money, go travel, pay housing loan, car loan, that will be more practical eh?


A birthday blast at Nikko Japanese Restaurant

21

April

30 March 2010, Heidi turns 14. We celebrated her birthday earlier on the weekend as the actual days falls at the weekday. His dad treat the whole family to Nikko Japanese Restaurant, and as usual, I am invited as I’m their most favorite Aunt. >__<

Nikko

Nikko Japanese Restaurant is one of the premier Japanese Restaurant in Miri. In terms of food, service and environment, I think this is the only restaurant that pass the quality check.

Let’s indulge!

tamago sushi
This is the kid’s favorite. Tamago Sushi.

peas
The green peas, simple and nice, freshly boiled with few pinch of salts.


Something I found at Nikko which is slightly different from other Japanese restaurant. They serve Chili Powder on each table instead of Wasabi. While you get Wasabi on request.

california rolls
My sister and bro in law’s favorite, California Rolls.


The kids can’t live without Rice, Garlic Fried Rice for RM3.50. Not bad, it taste mouthful of Garrrrrrrrlic!


Japanese also have dumpling, but taste so-so only. I still prefer the Chinese one.

kanikama sushi
Kanikama Sushi

Beef Udon
My favorites Beef Udon!

Now come the fishes!
sardine fish
Sardine Fish, looks so sad.

Salmon
Hi, Salmon Fish!

OCtopus
Eerie, Baby Octopus!

MixFruits
Appetizer: Mix Fruits Plates.

We enjoyed the dinner, and the waitress were really busy serving us here and there. Although the bill came out would be slightly expensive but their services and food does worth for it.

How I wish I can celebrate my birthday at Nikko too >.<


初恋红豆冰 Ice Kacang Puppy Love

初恋红豆冰 Ice Kacang Puppy Love

Release Date: 15 April 2010
Language: Mandarin
Genre: Drama, Romance
Running Time: 1 hour 44 minutes
Director: Ah Niu
Cast: Ah Niu, Lee Sinje, Gary Chaw, Fish Leong, Victor Wong, Nicholas Teo.

Source

Synopsis: Ice Kacang Puppy Love is a profoundly emotional tale of teenager’s puppy love, parental love, generation gap, truth and make-believe. Set in a unique small town of 1980’s Malaysia, the story evolves between a nice but shame boy – Botak and a brave and adventurous girl – Da Jia Yu.

I just watch this video from youtube, and I just realize that Ah Niu’s new movie will soon release at Cinema tomorrow. 15 April 2010. I mean, Ah Niu is the director of this Movie!

I definitely would watch this, as Ah Niu definitely gave me a big influence during my teenage age. I bet no one could deny this. Although he is not handsome, but he is talented. All his songs, his sounds, the melody and lyrics are meaningful.

Furthermore, this is yet another Malaysia’s production, we must support! From the trailer, I believe it will have overwhelming response over it. Will get the chance to see most of the Malaysia’s popular singer casting. It reminds me of the old movie, Summer Holiday. 夏日嬷嬷茶.

The sad thing, I think Miri won’t have this movie on screen tomorrow, probably a week later. Hopefully this is another successful movie for Malaysia!

Will you support?

P/s: The Soundtrack is quite nice too! Sing by Ah Niu.

Spoon Feed

14

April

Come, che-che feed you eat mummum.. nom nom nom…

This is call spoon feed.

With a spoon ready there, is not enough.

When we were baby, we were fed by our parents. In school fed by teachers, In college fed by the lecturer.  Now, in working life, we have to spoon feed our subordinates.

Certain people at certain age probably need to be fed, but when you’re mature enough, don’t play play, the one who feed you will lost his/her patience.

Baby, you such a good boy!

At least this Baby know how to appreciate and return a cute smile. Not like the one I fed, only know how to grumble and complains but no improvement!

If you are the one who being feed, then better be wise, learn to appreciate. Especially in this crucial society, you are slow, you are out!

And if you are the one who feed people, then you just have to be patient. Give them more chances, and the worst case, write a rant post!

I believe I would be able to feed them till full, without any leftover! Gotta work hard!

#@!$@%@!$@%@$@$#!#@#@
Enough of ranting, good nite.
Over stressed with my job.
Turning into crazy mode.
