Catching Up With Kenji 2018

Image
Kenji was back in KL as part of his long vacation. The last time we reconnected in Malaysia was in 2015 . Asked him what food craving he had as a way to decide on the lunch venue. He answered YTF, so we went to Ker Yuen Kitchen in OUG, a convenient location for all of us. KH was with us but Sharky wasn't because he was in Europe with his family. Always a pleasure to see Kenji's eyes light up when the food arrives. And with Kenji, a meal is never complete without dessert. We walked to the nearby Chaplang Cafe for coffee and waffles. When I saw the Bulatan Kampung Pandan Waffle on the menu, I ordered it without a second thought. Where can one find a waffle with four big scoops of g-Lat ice cream on a pandan waffle? The choice of flavours was also very Malaysian. Took the Neslo, Teh Tarik, Chocolate, and Coconut Gula Melaka. Kenji's sweet tooth was satisfied. The cafe is decorated with antiques and all sorts of old knick-knacks. Comics strips also covered the walls givi

NYE 2018

On New Year's Eve ( after a Big Pau Breakfast ), reconnected with Peng and her husband after a long hiatus. Met them over lunch at Let's Joy Cafe in Kuchai Lama. For as long as I can remember, Peng was thin as a reed. Now I can see some padding on her. Guess we can't stay slim forever. On the other hand, her husband has managed to maintain his figure although he has a voracious appetite. The milk tea and Japanese curry baked rice at the cafe was pretty good actually. Plenty more to choose from actually. Even the dessert menu is extensive. At 10:00 PM, mum and I went to church again. As usual, there was an NYE mass that ends with fellowship and fireworks. So unlucky that a lady knocked my phone out of my hand while I was recording the fireworks display. Got a small crack at the corner which prompted me to get a more protective casing. Hope your 2018 started on a better note than mine!

East Coast Road Trip III: From Cherating to Calong and Celup

Although I wasn't happy with the hotel room, I slept like a baby anyway. When I got up, KH was randy and wanted to get inside me. I went to clean-up, then he got me nice and ready with foreplay. As he was poised to enter me, we got a knock on the door! Bwahaha. Time to get ready and have a walk on the beach. So we tucked our woodies into our shorts, combed our hair, and headed for the pool. SK already her morning swim on that dreadfully windy monsoon morning. If the weather was nicer, it would have been great. The beach was clean, but halfway through our walk, we were hit by sporadic showers. Anyway, we didn't have long to linger there as we had a breakfast appointment with the Y Tribe in Kuantan. Breakfast was the famous Mee Calong in Beserah. A fairly new addition to Kuantan's culinary dictionary. Created perhaps a decade or so ago. They brought us to Joe Warung Mee Calong dan Keropok Beserah , an open-air restaurant that's built right in front of Joe's woo

East Coast Road Trip II: Delicious Dagang

According to Lynn, there's this legendary nasi dagang at Kampung Atas Tol ( quite some name eh? ). Due to its popularity, we had to get there really early. Got to Kak Ros Nasi Dagang at around 7:30 AM, but there were no free tables, and a long line had already formed outside ( we were the only Chinese there, something I often notice in KT ). The side of the road was full of parked cars. The drizzle failed to turn people away from the allure of the nasi dagang . There were actually two queues, one for eat-in and the other for take away. The former is the slowest moving because people tend to take-away a lot of packets. Easily twenty packets per order. If you're eating there, they'll assemble you order on a huge metal tray, and you can carry it away one shot! To accompany your nasi dagang , you can also have keropok lekor ( sedap jugak ) and Teh Tarik Meleleh ( literally translates to Dripping Pulled Tea ). In my opinion, it's a like an overflowed tea cappuccino. Th

East Coast Road Trip I: Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu, and Keropok

Ended 2017 with a road trip to the East coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The trip was for both business and pleasure. In case you didn't know, SK and I are both from that part of the woods. That's why mum and SK also tagged along to visit relatives and friends. For KH, it's to spend time with me and at the same time try to expand his Nu Skin network there. We started the drive bright and early, arriving at Gambang before 11:00 AM. Made our first stop at Restoran Zaman , Jalan Gambang, a place popular for its nasi lemak and roti canai . Their nasi lemak comes pre-packed in banana leaf, and when a tray comes out from the kitchen, it never has a chance to make its way to the front. In my opinion, the nasi lemak isn't very impressive and it doesn't have much condiments. The sambal is sweet, which is considered authentic, but not to my liking. And if you like your roti canai from scratch, do come here. From there, it was just a short drive to Kuantan. On the way
