Pau (包 / english pronouced at Pow) is the steamed bread in oriental style. If you ever went to any places in the World with the existence of Chinese clan, sure you will have "pau" in the town.

Seeking for nice "pau" in Kuala Lumpur? Here is one of the place that you can have nice "pau". This place was strongly recommended by my friend, Mr. Jeffrey Tan many years back.

Hailam Sun Sun Nam Cheong @ KKB

2011-04-24T01:21:00.016+08:00

Kuala Kubu Baru (a.k.a. KKB) is the small town of the foot of Fraser Hill, Malaysia. But for your information, Fraser Hill is in the state of Pahang, but KKB is falls under the territory of Selangor state.

In this small town, there is a eating place that is very popular among the locals and tourists. Their signature servings are the Hailam Chicken Chop, Hailam Mee (Noodles), Nasi Lemak Bungkus (Prepacked Coconut-milk Steamed-Rice with Chili Paste), Classic French Toasts, and Home Receipe Hailamnese Black Coffee with Milk.

Restaurant Hailam Sun Sun Nam Cheong ( 新南昌茶室 ) is the name of the eating place. This restaurant is owned by a local chinese couple, but their restaurant is certified by the local authorities as the Halal restaurant. Therefore, you will be no surprise that you will see many muslim patrons is enjoying the wonderful meals in the restaurant.

Personally, I love their Milk Coffee. I can bet you that the smoothness of the coffee taste will makes you double your order. Hahaha!

Besides the food, you may also have the chance to see the art of this old building. In the shop, on the wall of both side, you may notice many newspaper / magazine cuttings of the write-ups featuring this restaurant.

The chef of this restaurant, also is the owner of the restaurant has been awarded with many winning awards in cooking throughout the years in business. If I am not wrong, it was dated since year 1985 till recent years.

Salute to you uncle!!! good job!! keep it up!!

p/s: I am now visiting this restaurant, at least once a month just to pamper my passion in chinese food.

Hillview Restaurant @ Fraser Hill

2011-04-17T01:01:00.002+08:00

It has been a long long long time that I have not visited to Fraser Hill. Hmm...1,2,3,4 lets count back...I think it was like 28 years back (maybe)? hahaha!!

Anyway, I heard some of my friends and as well as my parents which went there lately, found that the place is still as nice as before with not many changes.

Let's go and see see....I went up hill later in the morning, and it rains heavily during my journey. Reached there at almost 2pm with the empty tummy.

And when I was at Fraser Hill, I found this restaurant that operated by the local chinese. With a phone call to my friend in Kuala Lumpur, he actually recommend this place.

The restaurant name is Hillview. The place is clean and the food are good. Nice warm food in the cold atmosphere that makes me keep on adding my order.

I have tried the fried rice, fried kuey teow and the sweet-sour fillet. Believe me, even the emperor's tongue will say good on these food.

Travel: Bidoh - Penang - Kedah (Part 03/03)

2010-05-28T22:00:00.039+08:00

From Penang Bridge, we make a left turning to goto Alor Setar. We wanted to goto the Paddy Museum (Muzium Padi). I have been there for 2 times already. For this time, it is specially for my cousins.

Paddy Museum is located at Gunung Keriang. For your information, they are closed on Friday (Sundays open).

On the way to Gunung Keriang, we saw some farmers are working hard under the hot sun.

above: Gunung Keriang

Nothing much to see in this museum, honestly. People usually come for the giant-size wall mural art drawn by a few Korean. It is a rounded piece of continuous drawing on the building's wall (the building is round in shape)...it is so lively. I do not take any photo of the piece of drawing, as the camera got to pay a ticket too. and i believe you will be able to search the photo form Google.

Another interesting part is we will be standing on a revolving platform at the center of the building to enjoy the piece of drawing.

Travel: Bidor - Penang - Kedah (Part 02/03)

2010-05-28T21:30:00.000+08:00

After the meal at Bidor, we continue our journey to Penang. While on the way to Penang, about reaching the Sungai Perak intersection, my car showed the engine is over-heated. Oh My God! Car breakdown at express way is really a hectic. Have no choice to drive slow and make a stop at the Sungai Perak rest stand.

Open the bonet lid, and my dad do an prelimary inspection, seeing my car's radiator fan is not working. Luciky my dad was there with me, without him I will sure go panic. He found the connector's joint was broken and melted a little. He readjust the cabling and tie it securely on the car's frame. Hope everything will be fine till Penang.

Now, I got to drive at a moderate speed and keep an eye on the temperture guage. Everything seem fine after that. We finally reached to Bukit Mertajam, and now we are all hungry again, food hunting time!!

After a short discussion, we are headed to Prai (Perai) for the famous Steamed-Yam Rice with Mixed-Pork Soup. The restaurant is called Kuan Nan, and located at the row of shops beside the Pearl View Hotel. Once you turn in to that junction, it is easily be seen on your LEFT.

It is almost lunch time when we reached there, after making a few turnings, we finally got a parking space. Can't wait to try the Steamed-Yam Rice, and the Mixed Pork Soup.

The rice is so fragrant and soft, and the soup is so tasty. Generally, the soup is cooked with minced-pork meat, slices-pork meat, pork stomach, pork's spare-parts, and the marinated-salty vege.

The fried kuey tiaw (stirred-fried flat-noodles in soy sauce), chicken rice, hokkien noodles (a.k.a. Penang shrimp noodles), ice-kacang (shaved ice with red beans) are also very popular at this restaurant.

One thing that you can notice in almost all Penang's restaurant, the patron will always shouted "Kopi" (Coffee in Malay Language) to order the drinks. This is common in Penang, their style of calling the waiter for ordering drinks. ONLY for Penang, don't use this style in other states in Malaysia... you may ended up with ordering the Coffee. Haha!!

After that wonderful lunch, we drive to the Ferry Jetty to goto Penang Island. Usually I will be more preffered to drive in via the Penang Bridge, but due to all my cousins have not been to Penang, we decided to let them experience the feel of having our car drive on the ferry...just to enjoy the fun :)

We then drive to our resort to do "late" check-in. Everyone was so tired after the long journey, we took rest for a while and head out to Gurney Drive for hawker food. Many people are saying the food in Gurney Drive is lousy and expensive, but what the heck of being there to enjoy the name of "famous"?? Anyway, is a tourists's spot...the place is meant for us!!! Haha!!

For your information, Penang people really don't go there for food. After the dinner meal, we walk a bit along the Gurney Drive before we head back to Resort.

Next day, we went to Kimbeley Street (nearby to Komtar) for our breakfast. The restaurant served a very good Loh-Mee (Thick Gravy Noodles), and Hokkien Noodles (Spicy-shrimp-soup Noodles). Really Supereb!! Penang food are really good and cheap. Much more cheaper than food in Kuala Lumpur.

After the meal, we went to the famous Thailand Temple in Penang and the temple of the famous Reclining Buddha.

above: Coconut Milk Ice Cream

above: Kuan-Yin Buddla @ Kek-Lok-Si Temple

In the evening, before dinner time, we went to the Tropical Fruit Farm located at Batu Ferringhi. We have no idea how far is the distance. After a few minutes drive, we are feeling nervous and wanted to u-turn back as the way was terrified, stiff + narrow + uphill + downhill + sharp turning + curving road...but we have no chance at all to make an u-turn. The entire distance was as long as 9km ++.

At the entrance of the Fuit Farm, we have to drive up hill as stiff as 30+ degree. It was so scary. Just Imagine that we have to use the same way to drive back to our resort. Oh My God!! I keep on praying for every single minute.

Nothing much to see in the tropical fruit farm, just the scenary is somewhat like our Cameron Highlands.

above: Proton Exora also can made it to this farm. Campro Engine, not bad. Malaysia boleh!!

above: see my car at far back?? my engine bonet cover is open...to cool down my engine after the crazy hill road.

We then drive back all the way slowly and goto Teluk Kumbar for our seafood dinner at beach.

On our last day in Penang, we goto do our final shopping before we leave the island to Kedah.

Travel: Bidor - Penang - Kedah (Part 01/03)

2010-05-28T19:04:00.001+08:00

Stress! Stress! Under Pressure!! It's time for a relief + makan trip. This time I am travelling with my uncle family and my family...come to a total of 12 of us. Hmm...we got to go with two MPV cars.

We depart early at 6:00am, as it is a public holiday, trying to avoid traffic jam as well as over-crowded restaurants. We first arrived at Bidor, a small town of Perak state. This small town is famous with the wife-biscuits (Low Poh P'eng) and little-chick-biscuits (Kai-Chai-P'eng). From our previous visit about 10 years ago, we also got to know a restaurant that is famous with their food.

But when we arrived there, it was already packed with lots of tourists. We don't want to wait for the long queue, and we headed to the next door which has less people.

This restaurant is clean and nice that serve Wan Tan Mee (Fine Noodles serves with Meat Dumpling and Slices of BBQ Pork). Not bad, not bad.

Do give it a try when you are at Bidor. Simple direction, turn LEFT after the toll, when you reach a "Y" junction, follow the RIGHT way, and the shop is on your RIGHT side. Sorry, I forgot to take the photo of the shop front.

Starbucks... a place to be, my friendly place.

2010-05-09T23:27:00.000+08:00

It has been a long while, maybe for one year or more that I have not hang out at my usual place, Starbucks on Sundays. For friends that always keep in touch with me will know that I will always goto Starbucks on Sundays with my friend, Nigel to do my work, to write my blog, to edit photo, to surf net, to relax.

It is a great place. You’ll get a nice, comfort couch, breezing fresh air, aromatic coffee, mouth-watering pastries. Today, my friend was asking me to ta-pau (ta-pau=take away order) the ice-blended mocha from The Coffee-Bean Cafe. And I got pause and think, where do we have Coffee-Bean Cafe in Petaling Jaya (it is bankcrupted? Starbucks has conquered them?). So, I drove to my usual Starbucks place as an alternative.

Above: Starbucks @ 32 Square, Malaysia.

Here comes the story, when I arrived, I walked in from the main entrance. The people at the counter greet me aloud. And one of the senior staff (maybe is the manager) can still recall me. We had a short chat then, and I am now going back there more often as before.

Above: Starbucks - Mouth-watering pastries, breads.

This makes me think of a classic TV-pilot / sitcom, Cheers. It’s featured a pub cum restaurant by the name “Cheers” that have a similar atmosphere of the Starbucks today. What a great feelings. I hope I can have such a wonderful working place as my own business, which is less stressful, easy-going, peaceful and friendly.

As the theme song for the TV-show “Cheers” sang, “A place where everybody know your name!!”

Keep it Up!!! Will continue to support.

P/S: anyone want to join me at Starbucks on Sundays?

My new pair of Crocs...finally

2010-05-08T23:20:00.000+08:00

Pain! Pain! Pricey! I don’t understand why the original authentic Crocs are so costly? what makes it so different from the others, such as the Asadi? looks similar to me, and quite obvious that they are made of the same material.

Today, my long-run Crocodile brands leather Rugged Shoes is starting to thread-off again after repair few times. As I always wanted to get a Crocs shoe, this is like having an excuse for me to get one now. So I have made a plan to go for a sneak at the store after dinner.

Went to Ikano Power Center at Mutiara Damansara with friends. Found a decent designed Crocs that I can wear for my work, as well as my leisure day. Look at the price tag…and I am shaking my head while my heart is feeling a minor pain. My brain keep on asking to myself, should I buy it or not, do I really have to buy such a pricey shoes? OMG!

One of my friend commented that the shoes is ok to me and saying I should buy it, so supportive. Therefore, here is my shoes…

My Crocs Crostrail (Black)

Anyway, I don’t do shopping very often. I only have one pair of shoes, that is for my work, my outing and everything. So, WHAT THE HECK? This is already enough to convinced myself to have it. (i don’t even have a slippers/sandals)

RM189.00 for 365 days ….ok-lah

P/S: can anyone tell me what are the differences from the original Crocs to the alternative? pls help…

Dinner: Laut Sungai Yu Restaurant 双溪由 (芭头) 海鲜 @ Klang

2010-02-17T23:07:00.032+08:00

This restaurant is recommended by my friend, Ah Boon. It is located near to his hometown in Taman Sentosa, Klang.

When I arrived to the restaurant, the place is full house. The corridor outside the restaurant as well has set up with the huge canopy to occupy the large crowds for this festive season, the Chinese New Year holiday break.

While getting a table for myself, i browsing the food on people’s table. The food seem good and delicious. Almost every table ordered the fried crabs, fish, prawns cooked in coconut shell, ballacan kang-kung. Those must be the famous dishes for this restaurant.

After talking with my friend, Ah Boon and his wife, Siow Ling. They said to me, beside those dishes, the crab-meat beancurd soup, sweet-sour-sauce fried fish, otak-otak, steamed clams, and grilled ray fish are also the choice of chef.

So, we ordered those and try. It is simply great. The grilled fish is juicy, so tasty, and yet not too spicy. The beancurd soup is taste similar to those shark-fin soup, but the taste is much different and better than those big-chinese-restaurants, and 5-star chinese kitchen. Great Job!!

The other dishes that we ordered are good too. I wonder who is the cook, and wanted to visit their kitchen. But my friend blocked me from doing it. Maybe next time I will go and check out the kitchen, when there are lesser patrons.
Oh ya, I forgot something…very important!! The place and foods are good, but how’s the bill going to be? Let’s wait and see…
The bill total is reasonable (I can even say, very afforable. Less than RM30 / USD10 per head). And all of us are so full.
Go yourself and try it, as I always say, I do not simply give out my recommendation in food. Trust me!

|| Otak-otak: RM13 || Sweet&Sour Fish (for 5 pax): RM39 || Grilled Ray Fish (small): RM15 ||
|| Crab-Meat Beancurd Soup (medium): RM19 || Steamed Clams (small): RM15 ||

{{ althought the size is small, the serving is not very small. the above pricing is for 5 adult pax. }}

Every year, FGS Dong Zen Temple in Jenjarom will organize a huge lantern carnival in conjuction with the Chinese New Year festive. Today, I went to the temple and take some shots. I arrived the place in the evening, but the sky has turned grey. It’s look like I can’t stay any longer as the storm is coming soon.

Just before the rain pour, I managed to get back into my car. Just be there for 15 minute, these are two photo that I took at the FGS Dong Zen Temple, Jenjarom. I took them in High Dynamic Range (HDR).

Anyway, got to back to my daily life again. And “stand” back to my work.

The Business / War of Chinese Hawker Stalls in Malaysia.

2009-12-15T18:58:00.002+08:00

As for the people that know me, i do love hawker food. they are delicious, portion is large, price are reasonable. and you really can enjoy yourself, as really can "being yourself" at hawker stall.
(provided the place is clean, and easy on car-park space)

but one thing that i don't like about the (chinese) hawker place. those chinese-ah-pek (chinese uncle) are very selfish, being unreasonable in business. they always like to divided the business place into territory. you are not allowed to bring food or drinks from another corner to that corner. you have to buy their food inorder to sit on their tables.

and thats created war in between the "good business" and the "lousy business" stalls. it is really inconvinience, espeically you are going there in a crowd. all of us might not having the same food.

damn it!!! china-ah-pek, please think widely, open up your mind-lah.

“一口田”上面加个屋顶，表示有房有田，是“富”。

2009-09-28T18:55:00.011+08:00

"郭富城 (Aaron Kwok) - 到底有谁能够告诉我" Versus "陈伟联 - I Love You"

Few days back, I was listening to one of the local radio station. And heard this tune by 陈伟联 (a Singaporean singer).

Hey!! that's not original!! I have heard this tune long long time before, way back in my high-school days. At least 10 years back. Is a song by Aaron Kwok. And the rhythm is by Chan Sao Nam (陈秀男).

But why this new song?? Who is the composer? The lyrics is totally different!! Another copy cat?? I better don't say any bad here...you do the judgement.

Please listen carefully to the following two songs.

The below version is from Chen Wei Lian. Rhythm by Yutaka Ozaki (尾崎豊)

Please drag forward the video to 01:02min . The intro is abit too long.

No Offends here. Just compare :)

Hahaha!!!

Dinner - Kiku Zakura @ Tropicana City Mall, Petaling Jaya

2009-09-18T23:40:00.000+08:00

The service are slow. The slowest restaurant i ever met so far.

Food wise, is ok. Nothing "wow". Nothing special.

Price is a bit on the high side.
(do check out Sushi Tei on Ground Floor. better value, better food, at least not slow in service...even the waiting queue is long.)

Will "definately" NOT go there again. But u people can go there and try, then feedback to me, or leave a comment here)

But the good side for Kiku Zakura is their staffs are friendly, polite and very well manners. Thank you.

Giant Road Sign in Malaysia (sharp bend)

2009-09-15T02:22:00.000+08:00

I wanted to comment about this long long time back. But forgotten.

Anyway, this is something unique for Malaysia. Something good (maybe). I really don't know where is idea coming from... to have the giant size road sign.

SIZE DOES MATTER? Ask again. Which road driver doesn't know or aware about the sharp bend ahead? Everyone knew it! It is so clear even there are no street lamps and with just the standard size sign boards. It is enough! But... why the giant size is needed? Think twice again.

Haha! If the driver cannot notice the standard size sign board, means they are unfit to drive on road. Take off their driving license instead! Hehe...

Actually everyone aware about it. Just that for some stupid, idiot, careless, brainless, clumsy, irresponsible driver that speed up and lost control to cause the car accident. Nothing to do with the size of the warning signage.

To all drivers, please do drive safe!

Dinner - Ah Wang Ba Kut Teh @ Old Klang Road, KL

2009-09-07T23:40:00.000+08:00

This place being intro and strongly recommended by my friend, Bryan Fun.

What so special? This place is so popular and just located by the roadside of the busy highway - The famous Old Klang Road.

So, even without mentioning, parking your car will be a hectic. Not much space, u got to be really lucky. Hahaha!

Although the restaurant's name is ba kut teh, their famous dish is actually the steamed fish. U will have the choice to steam in asam style, ginger style, black soy sauce style, or the plain-original style.

We ordered the steam fish in ginger style. It's taste so good, simple & right. Ginger chopped fine to cover the top of the fish, and add a bit of light soy sauce with chinese cooking wine. Steam it to the right timing. Wow! Fresh fish meat in fresh taste.

The simple receipe is there ready for u, but the timing u got to learn it up to make it perfect. As everyone knows, timing is very important for steaming fish and other seafood.

Next time, i will go try for steam fish in other style. So many more to taste, but so little stomach. Haha!

Oh ya, the pricing is ok too. We ordered the fish for medium sized, and just for RM24 (approximately USD7.00) only. Really a good deal.

Really bored with my lunch @ PJ.

2009-09-07T21:48:00.000+08:00

2009-09-03T15:37:00.001+08:00

i was mumbling about going to watch the newly screening movie "UP" in 3D. today, my friend, Miguel Tan message me about it. good! today going be the day lah.

Miguel was nice, and goto the cinema first for buying the tickets. and i rush from my work place to meet him up for dinner before the movie.

we have no idea what to eat, as we are bored with thinking for food. hahaha...and we ended up at the Little Penang Restaurant in The Curve Shopping Mall.

we ordered the set dinner, which is special-Penang-recipe rendang beef, with lo-bak (fried meat cubes wrapped in beancurd skin), and vege.

our friend, J.I., ordered the famous fried kuey-teow that have to wait for 20 minutes queue.

the rice will fine, and fried kuey teow is nice, i even order one more extra plate of fried kuey teow to share with Miguel.

the fried kuey teow is special, and come with minced crab meat. most important is...the taste is good and it is not too oily. the servings amount are not too bad too.

do check it out.

Lunch - Country Homes Restaurant @ Lukut / Port Dickson

2009-09-03T13:34:00.001+08:00

after check-out from the resort, we headed out of Port Dickson to Lukut town for lunch. and we found this decent restaurant just before the junction turning out to Sepang. (located beside the Bank Simpanan Nasional)

the name "Country Homes Restaurant" in 2 floors. first floor with air-conditioning. we ordered a steamed fish, a steamed pork-rib, 2 dishes of vege, clay-pot beancurd, fried clams, fried urine-prawns with butter-milk sauce, for enough for 12 pax.

taste good, servings good, price is even better for RM148.00 only (approx. USD40.00)

u just got to believe it. damn cheap.

Cape Rachado (a.k.a Tanjung Tuan)

2009-09-03T09:27:00.001+08:00

Rumah Api Tanjung Tuan (a.k.a Cape Rachado) is the light house that located at the border of Malacca (Melaka) and Negeri Sembilan (Port Dickson). The funny thing here is that inorder to visit this light house, you have to come to Port Dickson. Hahaha...

My dad's malay language just got improve too. he asked why this light house is called "rumah api" and where is the fire? or is the house being on-fire??

he suggested the malay term got to change from "rumah api" to "rumah cahaya" (or "rumah lampu"). Hmm... sounded correct !! Dewan Pustaka, i think you all really got to revise this malay term carefully again.

as the "light" here is really the "cahaya" or the "lampu" instead of "api". don't-lah simply translate, and making people more confuse.

the above photo showing the coaster border line marking. it is very important.

to reach to the light house, you have to park your car at the Ilham Resort and walk up hill of approximately 900 meter. (no driving are allowed).

beautiful, good spot for taking photo.

Boring nights @ Port Dickson

2009-09-03T09:23:00.002+08:00

the nights at Port Dickson are damn boring (without my hang-out kaki).

almost every night over there, i will turn on my laptop and playback TVB Hong Kong series as well as parallelly watching local TV channels.

friends, really hope that you all can join me here...so that i will not so boring and grow "spider web". hahaha!

oh ya...besides that, i got some chat with friends via SMS....hewww! at least some thing lah...can enjoy a bit.

i know family are important...very important. but without friends ....are like the planet Earth without the Sun and Moon.

NO WAY!!! hehehe....friends, friends, friends...never end.

(talking non-sense again)

Eagle Ranch Resort @ Port Dickson

2009-08-30T21:48:00.001+08:00

i usually revisit Port Dickson at least once a year. and whenever i was there, my friend (Nigel) will always talking about the Eagle Ranch Resort, which located not far from the resort that i used to overnigt there.
but always never got a chance to visit the place....as usual, wrong timing lah. hahaha...

this round, after have a wonderful dinner with my dad's friends and family. i suggested to go to pay a visit at the Eagle Ranch Resort.

when i reached the entrance, all of us making a big, huge "O" shape with our lips... and making a "Oh" sound.
Wow! this place is very nice. very well design, and very well maintain.

without wasting any time, we immediately approach to the front desk to make enquiries. this will be definately our next resort. hahaha!

just look at all the photo (took with my Nokia XM5800 in evening). you will have the same feeling that i had that day. they even have a big swiming pool like we saw in the Olympic game.

and while you were there, you don't feel that you are in Malaysia. you will thought that you are some where in the Central-America...or some cow-boy village (just except for the hot weather).

Very unique, very beautiful place to visit. Very reasonable price too, from RM130 to RM150 per night/room (approx. USD40)

Movie - District 9 (-5/5)

2009-08-18T00:08:00.001+08:00

i felt dirty after watching this movie "District 9". why?? u want to know?? because is a RUBBISH! this movie is a rubbish!!

and furthermore, they took this film in a dump-site. Making it so worst and so true be the rubbish.

no story, no budget, no logic, no meaning, no fun, no comment, no eye see.

is a sci-fiction, or action film, or documentary, or biography, or ...

u go and see, then tell me.

anyway, really hope that the director DO NOT come out with the "District 10" and "District 11" after 3 years.

(opss...no hard-feeling, i m just voice out my own view here)

p/s: Miguel, i am so sorry that asking out for this movie.

Lunch - Ho Weng Kee Resaurant (Wan Tan Mee)

2009-08-14T02:17:00.000+08:00

One of the best restaurant that serves "wan tan mee" in Petaling Jaya... HO WENG KEE Restaurant in SS2.

U could not disagree with me. Let me tell u why... First, u have to go and try it yourself. And the rest of other reasons, i will tell u one-by-one.

If u r familiar with SS2 area, u should know how costly can be a ground floor shop rental going to cost. And this restaurant only serve one type of food in many style. They operate from 8am to 3pm only.

So if they r not good, how can they survive for years? More than 10 years already (i think).

Even, a few doors away, someone trying to mimic them in business by selling the "wan tan mee"...and i m telling u here, they r doing so bad!!

So once again, for one of the best Wan Tan Mee in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia...Ho Weng Kee Restaurant.
