This was the 3rd time I stayed at this hotel – the first was in 2005 on our way home from Auckland, New Zealand and I stayed there last year when I went over to meet my daughter when she was coming home for the summer holidays (2010/2011) and here I was…back again! Via their [...]
Ivan came over after he had finished work and later, took me out for a really delightful dinner at this place called Dengkil – if I’m not mistaken, he stays in the vicinity. He ordered this kway teow dish that is called Moon River… I had this a long time ago at this place in [...]
Ivan was supposed to be flying back from Phnom Penh, arriving at the LCCT around the same time when I would land…so it would be just nice for him to give me a lift to the airport hotel where I would be staying. Unfortunately, he was given an unscheduled flight duty – to fly to [...]
Well, there was no delay – the flight was on schedule…so one thumbs up for the airline… …despite all the moaning and groaning, the cursing and swearing that I saw on Facebook prior to my departure to Kuala Lumpur that day. I was attracted by the sight of the mist cascading down from the air-conditioning [...]
I did not have any internet connection until the end of 2006, I think when, for my birthday (or Christmas), my missus and daughter registered with a service provider and got me this external modem… It was the cheapest package – RM68.00 a month but it was good enough for me and I was able [...]
I have had a number of posts already featuring our local kampung (village)-style of cooking this soupy dish that we called sayur rebus. Literally, it simply means boiled vegetables and these are the basic ingredients - some belacan (dried prawn paste), a handful of ikan bilis (dried anchovies) and chillies. You dump all those in some water [...]
I cooked some cabbage once when I had some friends at my house for lunch and they were amazed at how I had cut the vegetable – into very thin strips. Well, I’ve been eating cabbage like that all my life – my mother would cut and cook it that way. It was only after [...]
Most diners at this restaurant would be most likely to order their curry fish head as it is among the best if not THE best in town and they would most definitely serve it with this rice… I had a post sometime ago on the rice and I did mention then that it is really [...]
I’ve had a lot of posts on the celebrated Sibu kampua noodles and on one occasion, I blogged about the soup version… *recycled pic* Some may feel that it is a bit plain or even bland – as a matter of fact, in the past, many people were not crazy about Foochow cuisine, saying that [...]
Last Friday, I dropped by the Rejang Park post office here to pay my telephone bill. When I was done, I stopped by my favourite kompia shop on my way back to the car as I felt like buying some chu nu miang, the very slightly sweet version of the kompia, for tea that afternoon. [...]
