Yat Yeh Hing , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On Easter Sunday, mum and I went to church again. Unfortunately, no Easter Egg hunt. Huhu. Went to Yat Yeh Hing for a quick lunch and I was once more reminded why I had not eaten there in ages. Bad attitude and not so great chicken rice. But many people don't seem to mind. The family of four ( parents and two pre-teens ) beside me were the biggest bunch of carnivores I ever say. They ordered half a roast chicken, a plate of chicken feet salad ( Lewis, my tour guide from Taiwan told us that he in China, people deboned chicken feet with their mouths! ), a plate of siew yuk and they even tapau -ed a packet of steamed minced pork! Amazing. In the afternoon, mum went to her friend's place to help out in some major cooking. I on the other hand stayed home to finish up some documents that needed to be published to my customer early next week. Sometime after 1:00pm, SK fetched me out for lunch. Ate at Paddington's House of Pancake...

Pork Noodles , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. CK was staying over at SK's place so early on Saturday morning, we went to breakfast together. Simple meal of pork noodles and some deep-fried crullers. The crullers weren't good. Just tasted wrong. Even dipping it into kopi-o couldn't save it. Yuck. Went to the mini post office later cause SK needed to send a package. In her hurry to tape up the box, she actually managed to cut her own hand with the scissors. :S. Ate lunch together as well, but at Subang Jaya's Kar Heong ( one of many ). Cheap and simple dishes-- homemade tofu with loofah, deep-fried abalone mushroom and deef-fried tofu with fish paste. Taste-wise, it didn't quite have the wow factor. What better way to burn off a fatty meal than to go shopping? Made a visit to Tangs at Empire Subang for SK to collect her cash voucher. Some good bargains around-- a whole bunch of Paul Frank undies were going at half price! Don't worry, I didn't get any. My...

Palm Sunday , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On the 24th of March, it was Palm Sunday at church. As usual, palm fronds were distributed and all the flowers in the church were exchanged for palms. Had the short procession going into church exclaiming "Hosanna" and the long reenactment of Jesus on trial before Herod. Finally managed to have lunch at Nippy , though we had to wait for a table to clear up. A rarity for me to wait for tables. Ordered the dry and wet variety of their bamboo noodles. Mum loved it. The crispy texture reminded her of her childhood days. Too bad we couldn't catch the chef of the apprentice making the noodles. The flour is kneaded using a thick bamboo pole and the required pressure is exerted by sitting on the pole ( not THAT ok? ). Should be quite interesting to watch. Since Snowflake was nearby, brought mum there for some dessert. Her first time. Ordered my favourite-- the Sesame Prosperity. Took the deluxe option with extra green tea ice c...

Foursome , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Went to the OUG wet market on Saturday... yadda... yadda... yadda. Wanted to bring mum to Nippy to try their super crispy bamboo noodles, but they don't open in the morning. Crap. So turned back out to Jalan Kuchai Lama to eat at Soon Lei . Sat down and ordered a bowl of XO fish head noodles and also tried a box of sea bird's nest angku . Judging by how chewy the colorful angku were, I think the lady mixed konyaku powder into the seaweed jelly. Still find that this place can't fight the fish head noodles at Goon Wah. If not because for the fact that Goon Wah doesn't open on the weekends, they would have it worse. At least can chap sei kai on Saturday and Sunday. Since we were in the vicinity, stopped a while at NSK to do more grocery shopping. Didn't do much that Saturday afternoon. Just watched a whole lot of episodes of "Fairy Tail". Happy the flying cat is so cute! "Aye!". Had a super late lunch...

Ouch! , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Ended up at Paradigm Mall for lunch after Sunday Mass. Wore my Aasics Casuals that day and it was another ouchie experience. But the foot bed is as nice as the Van's, at just half the price. Will break it in soon I hope. Thought of breaking my usual lunch routine and going for something Western instead. Plan B came to mind, but the place was perpetually full. Couldn't accept waiting for half an hour, so I thought, "Screw you, I'm going to Sakae Sushi ". And of course the Citibank pink plate offer sweetened the deal for me. Spent the rest of the afternoon processing my Taiwan trip photos. Quite tiring. Even more tiring if I was compiling at photobook ( gambate KH! ). Mum went out for dinner, so KH,SK and I ate out. She treated us to dinner at Kobe Gyutaku , a premium Japanese grill at Subang. Took us ages to find the place. The GPS couldn't pin-point the exact location, so we made a call to the restaurant. The fellow o...

80gms , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Woke up early thought I had no date with the wet market that Saturday. Spent some time on the lappie after doing some simple stretches and exercise routine ( migt have included some other 'exercises' and 'stretches' ) in my room. Went to breakfast with mum after that and went to Goodarch HQ at Sri Petaling after that. An old lady living near my place needed to get her orthotics adjusted. Reached there about 10:30am due to the long queue at the BOMBA juntion, but as luck would have it, the place only opens at 11:00am. Sheesh. Waited a bit more before the front door was opened. Took quite long to get things settled and by noon, we dropped by Central Hypermarket to do some restocking at the organic store there. Been taking psyllium husk for a couple of months now and I must say that it does wonders for my bowel regularity ( ever had shit so light that it takes a bloody four flushes to send it on its way?! ). Nasty to drink actuall...

Snake Oil , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. As luck would have it, mum dragged me to the wet market the Saturday after I arrived home from Taiwan. The usual sights and smells with the exception of a snake oil salesman dressed like a troll doll. Crazy hair. His business was brisk that morning selling some kind of numbing oil for joint pain ( and I won't be surprised if works for hard cocks too ). Wonder what's in it. Later in the afternoon, mum cut up yam, sweet potatoes and new year cakes to make some sinful snacks. Sandwiching the new year cake between the other two ingredients, she dipped the combination in batter and deep fried it. The resulting sandwich was absolutely crispy with a runny center. Yummy! The next day, I went to church as usual, but wore my new Van's. Boy, what a painful experience it was. Pain at my baby toe and scraping at my heel. Hopefully the leather will soften up soon. Went to The Gardens Mall after mass to escape the heat. C...
