The Park

Decided to have morning walk in the local park, during the weekend

a nice park i must say......from a far. :-)

halfway through the park........and near the pond.....

what i saw was rubbish.!

and one of the thigs people see in our parks.

vandalism.

too common.

sad........

冬至 winter solstice

Its the time of the year again......

to eat "Tang Yuan 汤圆"

Done the prayers in the morning.....

now waiting for the big feast tonight.

Wish everyone have a nice celebration tonight of 冬至

BROKEN GLASS

This is what greeted us this morning at the site office.

makes you wonder..........

is it just an accident ? or is someone having some problem with someone else ??

well........ human behaviour !

上汤蒸鱼头 steamed fish head

Tried out this place in puchong batu 14 with LC last night

its easy to find.

in Puchong Utama, near the famous dry bak kut teh.

Fish head cost Rm24, steamed with ginger and garlic,

not bad, and the tau fu pok wah stuffed with meat and vegie,

nice as well......

overall..... Good.

Sony W508

was at the maxis centre to get a new sim card.

and found out they have an offer for this phone.

2 phones for RM 600+

nice..... i got two.

one for me and one for LC.

so now we can do video call...... :-)

Lobster

we had a lobster dinner at this place.....

but unfortunately, the lobster we had was a frozen one,

I thought would have got fresh live one in Langkawi.

The way the lobster was cooked as well......

not nice. taste strange.

Langkawi

雪蛤 hasma

雪蛤糖水....... looks yummy :-)

but LC does not have a sweet tooth......

so we just end up soaking it and cooking it with just water.....

雪蛤 or hasma's health benefits.......

but.......... it is ingredients made of dried fallopian tube of FROGS!

FROGS = ASIATIC GRASS FROG

鸭腿麵 in BIDOR

鸭腿麵

Heard sooo much about this place every time i go to bidor.....

friends keep on asking me, "you go to bidor and never had the famous

duck mee - 鸭腿麵 ?"

So........ this morning before coming back to KL,

I stop at a shop along the main (only) street.

"品珍 pun chin (i think)"

anyway, its just next to the people selling petai along the main street.

the duck drumstick is cooked with chinese herbal ingredients

a sort of "Dun tong 燉汤"

quite tasty.

and the mee, is the won ton mee.....

nice as well, not soggy.

all in all...... nice

port dickson

Went to Port Dickson with Rob and Judy the day after the wedding dinner.

Booked a place called LE PARIS in portdickson

from the picture they have up in the website,

it looks decent.

But, once were are there,....... we found out otherwise.

its old, the pool looks dirty, sofa and floor does not seem to have been

look after for some time.

generally, only 20% of what they show in the website.

dissappointed.

on top of that........

this is what i saw in the carpark area.....

.

This is in the car park, and right above is the pool.

the leak looks dangerous, and seems like it did not just occur overnight and has been

like this for some time.

i was just praying that the place does not collapse while we are there.

but it does look like its going to happen anytime !

Mantis Prawn

on the second day, we went to pantai cenang, and by the time we got there,

it was lunch time.

so we spotted a place that looks ok.

its call "LUCKY RESTAURANT"

so, normally, a place like langkawi, seafood should be reasonably priced.

as usual, no need to ask for price, and we asked for mantis prawn.

the boss suggested 2, steamed.

guess how much we paid for that.......

RM 82 ! for 2 mantis prawn.

I think we were charged too much, but we quietly paid and left.

Honeymoon

Off we went to Langkawi...............

Well, LC had not been back to the place since she was 5 !

And from all the "Hu Hah !" that people has been saying about Langkawi,

we were excited to actually make the trip there for part 1 of our honeymoon.

We got there midday, got a car, and stop for lunch in a seafood shop in town.

had normal stuff, 竹滩,fried mee, bitter gourd, and the 老黄瓜汤

reasonable priced, no complain.

Finally........... we made it to our honeymoon !

象拔蚌 elephant trunk clam

Elephant trunk clam or 象拔蚌

but to many people, it is a delicacy, yummy...... :-)

Emerald Puteri Hotel

Sorry about the quality of picture........

Well, Me and LC was back in SP.

we arrived late and decided to stay in a hotel instead.

so.........Emarald Puteri it was.

LC called earlier in the day to make a reservation,

and the staff just replied, " No need to book, plenty of rooms."

so, we did not.

once arrive at the check in counter,

told the guy, and the reply was,

"sorry, we do not have anymore normal rooms, but you can have

the deluxe for extra RM50"

anyway, i did not argue, and just say ok.

went up to the room........

and it was a room with 2 single bed.

came down again and complained, and insisted to have a

room with double bed..

after some arguement, i was about to walk out,

and suddenly,......

"Sir, i just confirmed theres one room available,

the person who reserved it has just cancelled.!"

and guess what ? this is all happening at 12.30am

went up to the room....was damned tired,

while waiting for LC to have a shower, i tried to turn on the TV.

and guess what. it does not work .

SO....... I will not recomend this hotel to anyone. !
