Tired Tyres

On Saturday, I went to the wet market as usual. It wasn't too late, so I had the time to fix up the tyres on my Iswara Skyline. Definitely did not want a repeat of the scary skidding incident a few years back. Drove to Equine Park to visit my regular tyre shop.

Moi : I want to change my tyres.
Lady : Let me see. Hmm. Front tyres 2010. Back tyres 2012. The sides all cracked lo.
Moi : Change all lo...

Haha. Has it been that long? She suggested Goodyear which was RM138 a piece. Told her to proceed, and I went searching for a place to wait. Ended up at an Indian coffee shop for teh ais, but I didn't stay long because there was too many mosquitos!



Went a bit further to LT Fang Cafe which provided both air conditioning and WiFi. A much better choice. Ordered some soft boiled eggs as I was a bit hungry. Before I finished the eggs, I received a few calls from the tyre shop informing me about several other more parts that were in dire condition : absorber, satay bush (Malaysian spare part lingo), and some other parts I them the green light to replace the important that were related to safety and the health of my tyres. In the end, I swiped RM1,400 on my credit card. Wonder if my 1996 Iswara Skyline is worth that much. Haha.





When I got back home, mum had made lunch. On the table was stir-fried chu cheong fun, and some pan-fried leftover radish cake. Both were equally delicious.



For dinner, we tried Gan Kee, a new wantan noodles shop just below LT Fang Cafe. I had noticed its existence earlier in the day. Gan Kee makes their own noodles, and truth be told, it's a bit thick and feels more like thin pan mee. The charsiew style is, similar to Mee Kolok. The sai tou fishballs were letdowns, but the wantans were pretty good.
