Long Gone

2010-06-01T17:20:00.003+08:00

It seems that I have abandoned this blog for quite sometime. Going through some metamorphosis for a new phase of life. I will be back very soon. I promise.

ps : Finally, I am graduated!

Utar Ball 2010 - Verziere

2010-03-19T19:37:00.009+08:00

It is already my last year or to be exact last semester in university and normally those graduating students would attend such event. Ball night is what they called and for my personally point of view, I rather labeled it as portrait night. Everyone paid hundreds for their dress to kill and to be as good looking as they could for that particular hours. Out of sudden, I felt that there are such crowd of fine beast appeared out of nowhere from the university.

It makes this event kinda grand by having our night in the Palace of the Golden Horses - one of the well known high class hotel in Malaysia. Even the ambiance of that ball room and the architecture monuments could immerse into ones deep admiration. There is only one thing that made it incomplete, the food served are awfully low budget.

The night is all about pictures of humans and sapiens. There are more photos available in my facebook account. Do freely check it out if you are interested.

I hardly get my hands dirty to dress that smart. I wondered, when will be the next? :p

Gathering of my primary school mates - my personal "lab rats"

2010-03-12T19:57:00.001+08:00

When you are just a noobie to the camera world, all you need are just some guinea pigs in order polish up your skills. How could I say no during the Chinese New Year when almost all my primary mates are in town to meet up. They would more than happy to pose when there are at least 3 dlsr camera pointing to them like a celebrity, capturing their pretties and ugliest moment.

Most of them are very single and available. Too bad la they couldn't still find any partner because of their over enthusiasm on achieving their goals in life. There are future pharmacist, future dentist and ect. Simply say, another "nerd herd" gathering. (They would too busy to find out this. LOL)

Anyone there volunteer to be my next experiment subjects?

Papa John & the mansion

2010-03-08T15:54:00.008+08:00

Traditionally each year of chinese new year, I will be meeting up with this gang of hometown friends. I think it has been going since I was in my upper secondary life. They still remain the same. As I meant the same style, the same mentality about way of life. They are still so "nerd herds" and can't imagine when they will start growing up and "pattoh"
(I going to be grilled if they found out this)

The largest Jusco in Malacca seem promising, offering lot choices of food restaurant. Papa John is what they have chosen because they too sucks in deciding thing and fast food is a wise choice. At least now I have something to compare to the pizza dominance - Pizza Hut.

The food is satisfactory for my personal opinion because I am not those going into dough making type of food. At least, they are way tastier than pizza hut can offer and of course pay extra for these services.

We ended our whole night doing some serious business in one of the tycoon son's mansion. He is still single and very available with good looks as well. (email me if you are interested :x) Each year, I will be ended up losing money because I am not blessed with luck. The table is less filled each as everyone is graduating and some already busy with their new working life. I wondered, how many chairs will be occupied next year.

Chinese New Year 2010 - wohoo with family

2010-03-03T19:03:00.012+08:00

At age of 23++, getting ang pau from the elders especially from some strangers are getting embarrassing. It gives me the creep feel like as old as I am are still desperate and leaching money from them. Although I do admit, money is tempting enough but dignity is way above that.

That is my reunion dinner, having our very home made "lok lok". Maybe in future, I will own my satay celup house if I ended jobless when I graduated. By that time I might as famous as the Capitol satay.

Chinese New Year is almost about family reunion, hence I always ended up in the big crowd of the family. I think I had more than 20++ cousins and I do not even remember their whole name. My grandmother is well blessed with 12 childrens. What to do.

Besides ang pau, this is the best entertainment during Chinese New Year. Although I do not have the luck of winning but losing is still something enjoyable. I bet you do succumb into these devilish excitation of... Banglat?

Tale of a photographer wannabe

2010-02-27T00:19:00.002+08:00

After and after considering splashing large sum of money investing this interest on photography, finally I convince myself to buy a dslr camera. Yes, now I proudly own a entry level dslr camera - D5000. Till now I do not regret buying a dslr camera but I did feel wasted that I should get D90 because now I realize how expensive the lens of D5000 would cause me.

Here are all my debut entry photos. It really a very noob shot. In learning, I promise, I will strive for greater results. So I would cherish every valuable comments especially on this particular aspect.

A breath of new beginning

Fong Keow Bak Kut Teh - Klang

2010-02-24T01:11:00.001+08:00

Finally I had a taste on the so-damn-bloody-famous Bak Kut Teh in Klang. If not mistaken from what I have heard of, there are few restaurant which proclaimed by the natives of Klang provides the best pot of pork herbs in Malaysia.

Fong Keow is the 1st I have tried so far, so I have to based on this shop to set on the standards of Bak Kut Teh in Klang. So far, everything is almost similar which I had in Malacca for over more than 20 years.

Not until this pot of Bak Kut Teh came out. To be surprised, the soup or more likely the gravy is so thick as though it taste like a XO version of Bak Kut Teh. In Malacca, the soup is usually very mild compared to this. However the herb is well balanced with all those ingredient mixed inside evenly. But still, for a 1st timer, it was my pot of soup. I am too used to the mild type of Bak Kut Teh I had in Malacca. This proved to be too damage to me but I liked the smell and taste of the gravy. It made that bowl of white rice to be very tasty. 1 thing I noticed so far, in KL I hardly could find any places which provide yam rice. It is?

Ichiban Boshi - Pavilion

2010-02-20T17:50:00.009+08:00

Each time walked past the food court of Pavilion, this restaurant had not failed to pull the crowd to witness its Japanese chef to demonstrate the preparation of their hand made Soba. Each time, the crowd would be amazed by the fine craft work of dough kneading skills. It's totally a new thing compared to Ramen.

The sushi conveyor is enough to cater around to supply the huge demand of this restaurant. One would feel classy upon sitting down and start pondering the price of each plate of sushi. No doubt, for such smooth feeling and to be surrounded by nice food, one has to pay high price for it. Each plate of sushi is either RM4 or RM6 per plate, higher than those usual Sushi King that we patronized. However, high price always come in with excellent quality of food. The raw salmon or other ingredient or fresh and much thicker than the norm.

Drool if you can after witnessing the awesomeness of the salmon and tuna sushi. This bowl of beef soba is called double niku soba which worth for every penny spent. The pungent smell of the beef is cleverly removed but the sweetness remains.

Seiro is the Soba (mee kosong) I ordered because it is well recommended in the menu. Through this, I was able to taste the soya mee in whole and it's really satisfying. A try you must. This dumpling gyoza is another example and reason this restaurant is going to be very successful in future.

Rot at rootz

2010-02-16T18:24:00.001+08:00

The delusional happiness during clubbing is always short lived. The devil's call tempted ones into his demonic den in the name of celebrating Zhen Shi's birthday. The weak mind of mine succumbed into this satanic's scheme where this party at Rootz with liquor replaced with water.

Rootz is located at above lot 10 building and nominated as new best club of the year of 2009. This is the sole reason for us to choose for this club. (You knowla, all noobie ma) To our surprise, the club is almost empty when we arrived at 11.00pm and it was totally a turn down.

The ambience of the club was awesome along with the royal metal class decoration. The lighting music and Dj were nothing less compared to Zouk but the only thing they were lacking is the crowd and a dance floor. However, the people started to pack during 1.00 am. Most of them dressed smart and classy. It makes us odd man out, become one of the youngest group in the crowd.

Too much consumption of alcohol loses our sense of judgment. When the rationality of a human is gone, they are non differ of a beast in the jungle, letting the body took control our his mind. That's is when you can see people start shaking like nobody business.

A last year at uni's life to celebrate for a very very old friend since primary school. New experience gained during this outing and I finally understood and felt what is the border of being tipsy and drunk!

Happy Chinese New Year!
Busy months ahead!

Dragon-I with primary mates

2010-02-09T22:46:00.001+08:00

After being separated for more than 1 decade, some of we, the primary mates were able to meet up thank to the magical touch of facebook. The few active ones staying near to each other have to compromise me by traveling to city centre for this little gathering. As to redeem the guilt of causing them this trouble, I reached Pavillion on this 1st date however during this aupicious 1st meeting, they were not punctual at all. LOL

We headed for Dragon-I restaurant to try on their famous "xiao long pau".

Before we eat, there are always some people busying taking photos of the food. As you know, blogger ma~~

The ramen is good however the "xiao long pau" is exceptional tasty and juicy. Serious anyone that had not try it need to go for a trip! And remember, the rice is no-no among all the food menu.

We chatted the whole night about the silly stories that unimaginable being done when we were kids. It really hilarous and unbelievable especially things that they highlighted during our younger days. We gossiped and time really flies. Hope there are more de-stress outing like this to come by. Thanks guy!

Tenji - Housemate's Engagement Day

2010-02-01T22:10:00.001+08:00

Upon reading this header for this post, one should be prompting hundreds of questions pondering how old my housemate is. To be frank, he is only 23 and the bitter truth is, he is even younger than I am. While I am still struggling deciding on my future, he is already planning big for a family. Damn!

Since Tenji is one of the Japanese buffet restaurants that offers different promotions all year long (promotion is just a tactic to lure customers to believe thing that they wanted), he had chosen it to be a memoriable spot to clip off his wings. How come buffet always come first in mind to celebrate any special occasion?

Let the pictures do the talking.

This guy is a really a glutton. When he settles down for food, it seems nothing could hinder or distracting him from consuming its meal in front of him.

I had been here for once, last year, and for this trip it seem they had fairly improved their quality and variety of food. Japanese gourmet is always my personal best choice of food because I simply cant resist the temptation of salmon or tuna sashimi. This fresh raw salmon and tuna are simply too expensive for a poor student. Hence, buffet once in a blue moon is the only solution to satisfy this urge.

I think I had 10 fresh oysters, 3 plates of salmon sashimi and etc. The ambiance is nice, the food is well decorate and importantly, the haagen dazs's ice cream had upgraded. What more can you ask for.

Still, the main characters of that night is both of these sweet couple.

Congrats, and hope I could attend your wedding in few years time. Of course, for freeeeeeee!! =]

SNSD - Oh!~

2010-01-29T15:43:00.008+08:00

SNSD fever is back with their 2nd album - Oh!~
It means the leg feast are back!

This song has been ringing through my head in these recent days. I bet it going to clinch a top nod in the korean chart soon. Just in the right time as a stress medicine for me. Enjoy!

UTAR - my choice

2010-01-19T21:35:00.000+08:00

Since I am graduating soon, I should at least contribute or repay back something to this fabulous varsity which I enrolled for 4 years.

UTAR's canteen always remind us to appreciate the food we are having. It is like if you are always having delicious meal, you would forgotten what the taste of atrocious food. So when you stayed long enough in campus, you would miss all those food back to your hometown.

UTAR is a best place to cultivate the interest of being a book worm. There isn't any other entertainment or sport facilities besides a tiny small library or education purposes only. Hence, it would be very competitive there where everyone will be swallowing notes and books. The only price to pay is that after 4 years, you might turned to some geek.

UTAR is the good place to produce a good leader if you ever hold up any position in societies and clubs. Due to its tedious procedure in apply for projects and activities, it makes us well prepare for the turbulence world. It made us strong to accept rejects and do it over again and the most challenging part is that what ever activities held in the campus, it is hard to win over the heart of the students to cooperate.

UTAR is wonderful place to train up well to handle stress. Just a quarter semester, tests and assignments are pouring weeks by weeks till the final exams. The worst case is that the work load is piling accumulated semester by semester. Therefore, by the beginning of final year in university, you would be immune to most of the stresses.

UTAR is a suitable place to practice on any hand on experiments. Until the final year, you will able to be independent on doing the project yourself. Even components that as small as a resister, they are reluctant to give it away. This teaches you how to shop and don't mind the trouble to travel every time you needed urgently.

UTAR - my choice
Isn't it a wondrous place to further for your studies?

ps : this is only apply for UTAR FES campus

Chiao Han's 24th birthday at Zouk

2010-01-12T20:02:00.002+08:00

Living up till 24 year old, I bet this is his best and the most happening birthday celebration. Out of the midst in sudden, everyone rounded up their mind to had this birthday bash for him at Zouk, KL.

After staying more than 3 years in KL, sadly I have to admit that I still virgin to any bar or experience any unhealthy night life until that day. The most I did was lingering around the club, pondering what the actual stuff spinning inside. That is where blogs came into place, trying to figure out what is so addictive that made people spend hundreds of penny for that particular few hours.

Nor blogs, nor photos or any explanations would ever satisfy the thirst of curiosity. Till that day, I witnessed the horror combination of alcohol and high beat musics made the worst chemistry of reaction you can ever imagined. It is only lies if one does club but proclaimed that they do not drink and dance. Just a little consumption of alcohol as catalyst, one would already being swayed by the music rhythm of drowning ecstasy.

After few shots of liquor, one would be hanging in between the sight split of reality and fantasy. It is crystal clear conscious in mind but the body is not listening to order anymore. Even a demure self is able to have the courage to express themselves through body language. The more you shake, the more intense of delusion.

Being tipsy that night made me understand the theory of fantasizing. Everything seem enlightened and stuck in self-created virtual world. The feeling of rapture did not hinder the urge of having more drink although the mind kept reminding it to pause.

Yes, we enjoyed. We laughed like there isn't any worries for tomorrow and we thought we are temporarily congregated in this dark paradise. This is the only perfect moment of 1 Malaysia's concept being implemented without the biasing of race, age or gender. Who cares you are a Chinese, Malay, Indian, Caucasian or even Black. There is only 1 thing in mind - our head is spinning to dance.

Clubbing is always fun if and only provided you have the enough loot to enjoy. It just like a fast way track, enjoy 1st suffer later. This is what happened if you are over enjoying.

The aftermath legacy of clubbing. Bravo!

Have you prepared?

2010-01-08T15:21:00.003+08:00

My final semester is going to start soon and after attending a soft skill class about "presentation & communication skill", I started to ponder what is life after university. In fact, during my internship in one of the big manufacturing company makes me feel reluctant to head back to that boring working environment. I can't imagine living my life colourless staring either the computer or the machine all day long. Others what I have observed might but is a definitely no-no for me.

Thus, thousand and one thought have been flowing in and out of my mind and any wrong step taken, it would be fatal. Speaking of getting jobs. The 1st thing that come the most important in play is interview. During the soft skill class, we manage to expose ourselves into situations of difficult questionnaires being bombarded for the interview training.

Have you started to get prepared? If not, please to attend some of the soft skill classes to improve the knowledge outside of the book.

Singapore trip

2010-01-03T22:22:00.003+08:00

The new chapter of the year has just begun and we welcomed 2010 with our open arms. This year is where the caterpillar me will be morphing into some either beautiful or ugly butterfly. I guess after living for about a quarter of decade, this stage of life has the toughest go through obstacles.

Nevertheless, during the month of December where I spent most of my time in a foreign country, Singapore. Visited the lab of National University of Singapore and the most amazing part of it is every final year project group has their own laboratory. They had unlimited support from their university to perform their desired project. Looking into my side, it would be a little regretful. There is always a reason why some loved to mingle around the lab and cultivate the interest for the lifeless machinery while some hated it so much which it would bored them to death.

Singapore is a shopping paradise. Girls, yes girls would never less happy than others when walking in the streets of orchard. Malls after malls where you could witness the massive of woman choosing their items where the men standing motionless outside the shop patiently waiting for their other half. Of course, I am in the team, otherwise I have no chance to have this wonderous observations.

This place where I had my best desert located in the Bugis street. Even the ones that being told the best in Hong Kong that I have tasted nothing come near to this. From what I have seen, this Ah Chew Desserts shop received the best food award in 2008 if not mistaken.

The queue is very long for ordering and the tables are always occupied. This bowl of mango sago I had is a blast. The chilling sweetness makes you forget everything. When you are in Singapore, this is the place you must try on.

Thanks for Pozan, Fong Hung, Hui Ying that hosted for this trip again.

Broga Hill

2009-12-28T23:49:00.008+08:00

I bet not much of you guys have heard about such hill called Broga hill. I have only get to know it when I came across some beautiful photos through reading on this book, facebook. Thus, I have set my sight on conquering this tiny little hill located at Semengih.

The road climbing isn't as tough as I thought but due to the lack of physical training, it makes it harder especially the 1st stop. After that, the 4 more slopes shouldn't be any hindrance anymore.

It surprisingly to witness the sun rise in a whole "blue" picture. We were waiting in mind for the slow tanning red orange to pierce through the thick cloud and ready for a good capture. There are 3 dslrs' users waiting for that moment however, disappointed.

The scenery on the zenith of the hill is truly magnificently breathtaking. Pictures do not always speak of the truth, so the only way to experience it is to take a little hike up there to feel the beauty of mother nature.

The meadow across the hill touches the whole canvas to life. It was like those fairy tale we seen in the movie. Even, the thick sea of cloud made the other side of the hill looks like there is an isle in the middle of an ocean. Heavenly mesmerizing.

Pictures of the day :

Broken-back mountain in making. (Look at those full of emotional eyes!!)

Acting cute ~ wink

Merry Chirstmas 2009

2009-12-24T16:59:00.003+08:00

Wishing you guys merry and jolly christmas!!
Of course, I arms are always wide open to receive presents. :p

Christmas wish list

2009-12-13T08:55:00.000+08:00

In the month of Dec, that is where it begins to chill. Christmas is just coming around the corner and many would much anticipated of getting surprise presents from family or friends. I am just a simple guy who loves to make things easy for them. Simply, I made a wish list of items I desired however failed to obtain with my own capabilities. Hopefully, the generosity of the readers' heart could at least make some contribution here. I never meant to be greedy, but just being honest. :P

1. Dell Studio XPS 16

My first mate had already followed me though the journey of my uni-life since the beginning of the 1st semester. It starting to age and giving slow response to my command and worst still, she could even pleasure me anymore when I needed her the most. This RM4999 with the processor of core i7 could definitely satisfy most of the demands for the next 4 years.

Bah! I don't think anyone would willingly to fork out this much :(

2. Taiwan

Can't believe your own eyes that this place could actually be such mesmerizing? I have been longing to be there for decades. Estimate of RM3.5k backpacking trip could last touring in this island for about 2 weeks and it is even worth along with the promotion of Air Asia flight :P

Bah! Another dream list :(

3.Nikon D5000

It is always pain in the ass when the moment you saw something you liked, you are unable to immortalize it. This is when a good DSLR plays in the role into capturing good pictures for eternity. Besides, device worth of RM2800 isn't display for show where it has the ability to function manually or automatically. Hence, it is very suitable for newbie, like me.

Bah! Next!

4. Sony Ericsson Satio

Picture says a thousand words. This glamorous RM1800 touch screen phone is seductive enough to attract buyers. The current phone of mine starting to give me problem where a phone isn't functioning much as a phone. It is hibernating more than he awakes. Definitely a good replacement.

Bah! Fancy too much is not good for health.

5. Phuket

This seems like an ideal choice where Air Asia currently having a promotion as low as RM59 per 2 ways flight. Hence, the overall budget would be around RM300 per person for 3 days 2 nights. With such an astonishing captivating beaches to hang on along with the lucrative low price of trip, anyone has already tempted to it?

This isn't too heavy for you guys right?

6. Tenji buffet

Having a Japanese buffet as low as RM50 per person is one of the best deal you can get in town. Moreover, offer for as long as 3 hours plus you can dine in that restaurant is already maximum damage to you stomach.

Come on, I need a break man!

7. Pay Pal wish list

If you guys are really that stingy, I guess the last bet is to use on third party to fork some credits to sponsor me some Christmas gift. Simply, you just click HERE to my profile page, add me if we weren't friends yet and if we do, scroll down on the page and find this Pay Pal wish list and click on it. Then allow the application. It is simple as ABC.

If this also hard to contribute, then you should start self revising!

Anyhow, hope you guys had planned well for this coming Christmas. Oh wait, I smell turkey!!

Day 4 at Hong Kong

2009-12-10T08:05:00.000+08:00

Most of us are totally out on the 4th day, exhausted either mentally or physically. And the most unlucky thing that we had on that day is our breakfast. We \randomly entered some well decorated wantan mee shop and ordered.

This bowl of wantan mee is totally screwed up and can't be compared to the ones that we had during our 1st night in Hong Kong. It is terribad! Moral of the story: check before you enter any restaurant to avoid disappointment.

We walked along the streets and started to shop. No wonder people been saying Hong Kong is a paradise to all women but worst nightmare for all men. Seriously, no matter how much they (women) spent, it always end up insufficient!

Look how bored they can be?

Personally, we did bought some cheap clothes as well. :P Believe it, this long sleeve cotton T-shirt just cost about $HK55.

We went into this "thong sui" house to try on some sweeties. I am not a fan any of these hence, it is not fair for me to comment on it. But 1 thing I am sure of is that, this bowl of "xxx" is pretty silky smooth blended. Worth a try.

After the break, we did continue to hunt for more things. It branded things sold here compared to Malaysia are always cheaper.

Gong Cha - this is what they called. Falling in love with it. It really tasted awesome! If not mistaken, it is green tea mixed with some kind of cream. You can find it HERE

Nothing much to brag in the fourth day because most of the time we spent on shopping and waited for our flight. Had the pork version of McD and it tasted, pork? Well, Hong Kong is really an easy destination to explore due to its well linked transportation. Overall trip for me is about RM1500 included flight however, for girls I think they would need about RM2000 for their shopping spree (cheap cosmetic and facial stuff).

So what are you guys waiting for?

Seremban crab

2009-12-03T01:58:00.005+08:00

On a usual day, it is hardly to find any hard shell dishes in a meal. This is due to the life style of a poor student has to endure living outside alone. Having the chance of tasting non-fresh shrimps are already something consider luxury enough.

Once the labyrinth of a crystal clear river and sea that connect the east and west during the great empire of Sultanate Melaka has turned into something worse than a coffee mix. Hence, fresh seafood is not an option in this polluted area of Malacca.

Hence, the urge of having nice meal of seafood especially crab leads me venturing into the town of Seremban searching for this famous restaurant. I have heard from many and it has proven its worth by featuring in "Ho Chiak" as well.

Special gravy from the restaurant. It is a little sweet with the creamy tasted.

Sambal squid which I wondered where all the spicy taste gone.

In-house special taufu. Smooth like a silk. It freaking tender and soft as though it going to melt when inserted into the mouth. Not bad!

This is the main course - grilled crab. Serious huge and succulent crab meat to try on. The freshness is heavenly awesome.

This is somewhere that served good quality of crabs despite the "high class" of money you have to fork out for such fine meal.

ps: special thanks to dear & her family

Day 3 at Hong Kong

2009-11-29T09:41:00.001+08:00

We had our breakfast continuously 2 days at the same old coffee shop at Wan Zhai because some of the members did not manage to try to the best polo bun around town on the 1st try. After that we headed the same area to find for the famous Tai Cheong egg tart.

It was freshly baked and we would witness the watery egg slowly to harden. The crust was so cheesy good and its egg is well balanced. Among all other egg tart I eaten here, this is the one I preferred the most. $HK7 per piece is worth for every bite. Another must try item!

The streets in Hong Kong would never lack of any living being during the broad light. It is so crowded even for every little small alley. Wondering around town while some of them preying for potential cheap goodies.

And maybe this is what the guys are looking for. What a luscious sight.

This is famous Victoria Park where the grand canon would be firing every noonday for charity. I never expect gun shot would be so explosive loud. The aftermath of big bang had my ear ringing for few minutes. Splendid experience.

The empire of Time Square expanded to Hong Kong as well. The structure is much alike in Malaysia however the shop lots that selling goods were godlike high class. Something that we could not even dream about.

But still, all of us managed to loot some shoes and bags. Of course, those mega sales shoes and bags. Quarter of our expenditure budgets are already being poured during this shopping trip. Goodness. Shopping does always feel good at 1st but bad afterward.

Lunch time and this is the restaurant you have to remember well.

bean soup

piglet + siew yuk

siew yuk + char siew

piglet + roast duck

squid + roast duck

This Tai Hing restaurant is seriously serving great food with the price of $HK38 per plate of rice + soup. Every different roasted meat I have tasted, and each of them are marvelously roasted. The skin is crunchy, the meat is tender, the sauce is evenly mixed and the soup the non-agimoto tasted. What more can you ask for?

I starting to miss all those best food in Hong Kong already!!!!

We walked and walked, traveling from a place to another till reached the Science Centre of Hong Kong. It must be the work of the nerds planning from the beginning to visit such places.

After 3 hours spent in the centre, we headed to Tsim Sha Tsui to catch a night show.

It the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars that we are heading. We couldn't find any hand print of Andy Low but Jacky Chan served just right. The light and sound shown is nothing spectacular for my opinion, but it is just a must go landmark. Moreover, it is really astonishing night view to enjoy along with the natural sea breeze.

Temple street is our next destination. It is in between Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei. Our legs already started to give off during that time.

There rows of hawker restaurant in Temple street and most of them are very similar to one and another. Just pouring any luck, we sat on any available shop to give it a try.

Various claypot dishes, so so for me. The fried oyster is kinda horrible and the snail, no one dares to touch it. It has a very strong stench of smell. It just like serving durians for the Japanese. There is certainly good food to be found in Temple street judging the numbers of people there but just not this stall. Not recommended at all.

We walked to Woman street. Just for its name, it is already enough to tell the whole picture of what this street about. Just like Petaling street in Kuala Lumpur, but the price there are bargain-able cheaper!! Of course, donated some money there again. Sigh~~

A super tiring day with a reward of good milk bubble tea ($HK10) is definitely worth it. (Product of Taiwan anyway)

Carlsberg VS TsingTao

2009-11-25T08:33:00.004+08:00

What do you think of this

RM8.75 (325ml)

VS

$HK7.75 (500ml)

Which will you choose?

Day 2 at Hong Kong (part 2) - Victoria Peak (Taiping Hill)

2009-11-20T10:16:00.003+08:00

Taking a travel guide while exploring the city of Hong Kong, it seems that we are already blended in its society. However, our little secret comes to an end when we having difficulties searching for the station of the electronic tram to Taiping hill, a Hong Kong's police passed by and offered his help. Everything was so deja-wu like we are in a TVB drama where the "ah-sir" standing with his hand lazily resting his left hand on his gun and said this to us :

"Len chai, hui bin r?"
"Dude, where are you heading"

He started explaining with a slow pace of broken Mandarin fusion of Cantonese and when we responded in Cantonese, in instant he blast off the direction with his ultimate Cantonese slang. Thanks to him, we managed to reach the top of Victoria peak in one piece.

Wax house is located on peak of this hill. Before even entering, we are already being greeted by our very own local product celebrity - Michelle Yeoh. For a moment, we felt to be proud being a Malaysian while stand on the soil of a foreign country.

Some people just love harassing those superstar, expressing their loves by taking the opportunity to kiss Japanese pop star - Ayumi Hamasaki.

Some just love peeping on the legendary sex icon - Marilyn Monroe while she is performing her famous up-skirt pose.

Some just can't let those romance slip off by hugging 1 of the 4 heavenly king - Leon Lai during a bicycle ride.

Some just love being in the lime light along with Hong Kong duo - Twins. Although his motive of being with whom is very questionable. The pure or the tainted ones?

However, there are some weird ones who had a different taste bud. By looking at it, definitely you are able to guess what he loved that much.

The only thing that I regretted in the wax house is unable to capture the moment me standing beside with the giant superstar - Andy Lau. We were being informed that his wax statue is undergoing some maintenance. It is so devastating. Andy Lau has always been the hero in my heart for a long long time.

wax house + sky terrence - $HK190

Enteingr the Sky Terrence, assumed to be the peak of the peak of the Taiping Hill where we could enjoy the sun set and the miniature night scene of the Hong Kong city.

The paranomic view of the Hong Kong city is astonishing sightful. Truly, this type of scenic view is only to be found in a highly developed country. There are not words could describe or substitute the beauty of it. Just simply amazing.

In the mist of excitation, I was carelessly left my bag at the Sky Terrence. Luckily this honest officer found it and returned it to me. Grateful for what he did and he did actually changed a little perception of mine toward to rude attitude of the natives there. Thanks again!

Upon returning, our stomach starts complaining and we rushed to Mong Kok to hunt for our dinner. As seen in movies, Mong Kok is one of the red zone in Hong Kong. Good food brings great sacrifice. Just extra careful should be okay.

Fu Ji restaurant from what we known is famous for his porridge however when we got there, we do not sense any porridge in sight. Maybe it is dinner time and it isn't appropriate to have porridge at this hour.

It isn't any surprise anymore where the locals there use the free tea to clean their chopsticks and spoons. Perhaps this is their culture here and we actually followed them. LOL.

The Hong Kong Chinese mustard green is nothing more or less than what we had eaten in Malaysia. So nothing special about it. But the porridge is just fantastic. $HK22 a bowl isn't just for show. It's sweetness of the porridge is well felt and even without those pig organs, it is still zestful. This seriously the best porridge I ever had. Unlike Malaysia, the food there had the preference of quality compared to quantity.

The whole day of walking and climbing is really exhausting. As sweet stuff could provide the energy we needed, we headed back to our place, Fortress Hill to had this desert. It is said to be famous for its mango stuff but for me, sweet stuff do not come 1st in my list. Personal opinion, so so.

mango sweeties - $HK26 and ++ (the more ingredient inside, the more you paid)

"Muka stim" from fatigue. If you combined both of the post, you should able to estimated how many miles that we actually traveled on foot in Hong Kong. Unbelievable?
