Rantings, ravings & ramblings of a rollicking mind

You can…

Yes, you can! As a matter of fact, anybody can…and with Melissa leaving for Wellington sometime in February next year, I have to make sure that she can too. Well, I’m talking about cooking…and the other day, I cooked a few simple dishes for a balanced meal in the hope that she will be able [...]

Look what you’ve done…

My missus and I flew Malaysia Airlines (MAS) all the way on our trip to KLIA/Penang and back when we went to Sungai Petani and came home together with our daughter. We went earlier as the fare was cheaper from Sibu to KLIA on Tuesday, 17th November, 2009 by almost RM200 and for two persons, [...]

Save the best for last…

Last Sunday (22nd November 2009), my good friend, Eng, drove over to Sungai Petani (SP) from Bukit Mertajam to take us over to Penang island for our flight back to Sibu. We were quite worried that we might not be able to make it as the Penang Bridge Run was held that same day and [...]

On the street where you live…

On our way back from Ipoh that day in the heavy downpour, it turned out that the weather was fine towards Penang side and Mandy stopped at Prai where she used to live when she was growing up as she wanted to take us to this street – Chai Leng Park, otherwise known as Haw [...]

Castle in the air…

That day when we were in Ipoh, after the heavy and hearty lunch, courtesy of the very amiable and generous Ipoh-blogger, Claire, we could not possibly eat anything else even though she insisted on taking us for some local desserts. In the end, we decided to do a bit of sightseeing and after the food had [...]

Made in India…

There is an Indian restaurant round the corner from Bali Bali in the Lagenda Heights vicinity in Sungai Petani. The name is the Chennai Curry House… I know that’s the name of a place in India but I had to google to find out that actually, it was originally called Madras. I was teaching Geography [...]

Bali Hai…

My missus and I arrived at Sungai Petani in the afternoon on Tuesday, 17th but our daughter was still tied up with things in the institute…and she also wanted to pack some of her stuff to bring over to the hotel. It was not till around 6 in the evening that she finally caught a [...]

Wuthering Heights…

Well, it definitely wasn’t Wuthering Heights…but Lagenda Heights, the commercial area in which the hotel where I was staying in SP (Sungai Petani) is located. Just round the corner is one coffee shop where I had this cendol pulut (glutinous rice) special for RM3.00… It was not bad but I thought it would be nicer [...]

Ipoh mali…

You would know already from an earlier post that I went to Ipoh on a whirlwind visit… Nope! We didn’t eat here and neither did we have ayam tauge and koitiau for lunch. Claire very generously treated me and my entourage to lunch at the Sin Hup Kee Restaurant along Jalan Leong Sin Nam there. [...]

(I’d be a) Legend in my time…

When I was in SP (Sungai Petani) in August 2008, I was staying in another hotel but the location was not very convenient as it was a bit too far to walk to the town centre for meals and shopping and a bit too near to take a cab (And they charged RM10 for that [...]
