Try it one more time…

I’ve tried the kampua noodles here before… …because I heard a lot of people singing its praises but I did not think it was really great. We were in the vicinity on Sunday morning, my missus and I, so I decided to try it one more time. Both of us had the kampua mee pok, [...]

Waited so long…

My young friend, ah^kam_koko’, was in town for the weekend and he had been waiting to eat this double cheese beef burger (RM16.90)… …since he saw my post on it so long ago when I went there with my daughter. So I took him to the place for this well-deserved treat. I thought of having a nice [...]

Right next door…

I sent my car to the car wash the other day and I decided to go for a simple lunch at the coffee shop right next door. There used to be a Chinese kampua noodle stall there but either it has closed shop or moved elsewhere. Now you have a choice between the usual stuff [...]

Where the twain shall meet…

Do you believe in fate? You may be from different ends of the country or different parts of the world but if it is fated, no matter what, you will eventually end up together. Well, this is not the first case and I’m sure it will definitely not be the last. Another one of my [...]

You smell so good…

Well, that’s what I personally feel! When it’s frying in the kitchen and the fragrance fills the whole house, you can hear your tummy rumbling…and you just can’t wait to sit down and eat. Nope, I’m not talking about belacan (dried fermented prawn paste) here but instead, I’m talking about what we call long kiam [...]

Pretty in pink…

I don’t know how many of you have seen this but it was the first time I ever saw one… Pretty, isn’t it? Well, if you’re an ignoramus like me, that’s the torch ginger flower or what we normally refer to locally as bunga kantan. As far as I know, it is commonly used in [...]

How we do it over here…

If you order fried noodles in Kuching, they will deep fry the noodles and after that, they will cook the tomato gravy with all the other ingredients and pour it over the noodles. Because of this, if you eat it on the spot, the noodles would be hard and crispy and many of my college [...]

It’s been so long…

I was in the midst of my tuition class when my handphone rang. I did not recognise the number so I rejected the call. After a while, I received an sms – it was from an ex-student of mine. I had not seen him since he left school – it’s been so very long…but I [...]

In the garden…

Last Sunday was Father’s Day here but as far as I know, they have it on different dates in some countries. Well, my daughter’s not home so we did not really celebrate the special occasion even though my missus did go out and buy a cake a week earlier as she got the date wrong. [...]

Early bird…

As the English proverb goes, “It’s the early bird that catches the worm.” Well, it’s only the middle of the 5th Month in the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the Mooncake Festival will be in the 8th Month on the 12th of September this year, to be exact…but these biscuits are already in the market… These [...]
