HELP!!!!

I am leaving to Beranang this Friday and I do not know is there any hotel in Kajang. Wingz advised me Metro Inn but they are so 'laku' - fully booked liau. Anyway, I wanna thanks him for helping me. So, do any of you know where can I find a hotel or inn in Kajang.
I do not need a exclusive hotel coz I will arrive there late and the next day I will check out early to drive to Beranang to pick up my sister who has finally completed her National Service training. Finally...................... I am no good in KL route so it's better for me to fidn a hotel or inn nearer to Beranang. Bit Nee, don't think I can pay you a visit this time too. Sorry. But, I am planning for a trip to KL maybe in July or August. I wanna join Wingz, Kenny and a few of them for a golf session. I am not a golfer but would like to go and kepo. Believe me, I have never been to driving range, ok? Never, even my hubby is a golfer - used to be................. he gave up after we had our 1st baby. So, the golf sticks are for deco at home now. Hahaha................
So hor, if any of you know there is a hotel or inn in Kajang, please share with me. Wingz did told me there are quite a few 'chicken den' there wor. What for??? If duck one ok lar. Chicken??? Aiseh!!!

My Favourite - Wan Tan Mee

I got tagged by Kenny.


Actually, I were about to write on my favourite Wan Tan Mee which I had in Bidor liau. Luckily, haven't started otherwise sure die liau. Mana to find food lagi? Hahaha............... talking about food - it's always my favourite topic. I can talk with you day and night. Thank god, my hubby is also a food lover otherwise, I sek chee kei (eat myself) chor. LOL


Wan Tan Mee is always my favourite ever since I am young. I am quite picky on wan tan mee - noodle must be fine, not soggy and the way their cook it must be important too. It must have some crispness too. Very fussy lady hor?

There are 3 stalls that served pretty good Wan Tan Mee in Penang. I have blog about this 2 stalls before - Mee Juta & Assorted Wan Tan Mee. The other stall is located at Anson Road (next to a bookshop). Last 3 weeks when my hubby suggested we make a trip to Bidor to look for food - we found this famous Wan Tan Mee.


The shop that we went to is called Pun Chun. It's a very famous shop for their noodles and duck drumstick herbal soup. Very nice too. If I am not mistaken, the wan tan mee cost RM3.60/plate. Apart from the wan tan mee, they served very good wantan too. Inside is some minced meat with some whole prawns. Yes, not minced prawn har!!! It's whole prawns (off course, it's the small size one lar). My little daughter finished up a whole plate of wan tan mee by herself. I am not joking, ok? She is only 2 years old. My son loves the wantan. He finished a bowl of 10 wantan inside.



See! How my little girl enjoying her wan tan mee.

My son enjoying a bowl of wantan by himself.

See how nice the wantan is.........


I am done and now I wanna tag :-

Anyone Want Lotus?

For your information the lotus I am talking about here is a kind of water plan. This is a very unique plant to me. The root can be eaten - most of the people use it to boil soup or stir fried it. The lotus seed can be consume too. The flowers, the Buddhist devotees normally place it near to the Buddha.
Previously, you will see lotus plants near mining area but nowadays, people also plant it in a big pot at their home - for fungsui purposes. Don't ask me how ar. Me no good in fungsui.

I got this picture of a lady plucking the lotus .............. who knows what she pluck. Flower, root or fruit. They are not doing it for fun but for business purposes.

Many people know about dried lotus seed but how about fresh one. Ok, I know most Perakian know about this and some knows the trick on this too. I will share with some of you later. In Perak, it is quite easy to find fresh lotus seed but lately it's getting harder coz nobody wanna pluck lotus fruit anymore. The lotus fruit nowadays don't come cheap too. I still remember when I were still young (I am still young now,ok). - what I mean is slightly younger than now lar. Lotus fruit come in a a bundle of 3 or 4 which cost us 50cents only (hoi, itu pun about 10years plus ago only). I bought my at RM2/bundle. Wah lau!!! Never mind because I love it so much and have not have it for so long - buy.


This is the seed that we get from inside. There are many in 1 fruit. About 30 to 40 seeds. Before you eat them, you got to unskin it first. Fresh one will have a sweet taste. See the green thing in inside the seed. This mean, the fruit is a little bit old liau and if you see this make sure you take out the green thing. It's bitter taste. I were told by my mom that this are used as medicine to cure a kind of sickness and she cannot remember liau. So, I can't share with you too.








This one???? hahaha.................... apa lagi, kena dig out all the seed liau by me. But still look nice.


Back to the trick I were talking about earlier. Guess, I have accidentally deleted my pictures of the little lotus seed so, cannot show it to you all. The smaller size lotus seed actually don't have any flesh inside. So what we do with it is, we take this small seed and pock it at someone forehead. I know you people are going to say childish. But that is for fun only ma. You guys go ahead argue about the childish thing and I am going to enjoy my tong sui which I had added some fresh lotus seed in it. Yum yum...................... yee mai fu chok tong sui. Inside it had got barley, beancurd skin, egg and off course my favourite - fresh lotus seed.
I am a tong sui lover!!!

Leaning Tower

Leaning Tower? The one in Paris? Sorry har, me no money to go there yet. Maybe, in another 10 years lar. Wait long long or dream more often then, maybe dream become reality(mong keng seng chan). Wake up Erina Law! It's not time to dream yet. *wash face n continue writing blog*

Actually, I am talking about the Leaning Tower in Teluk Intan. My sakai punya hubby said he never been to Teluk Intan and insisted we must make a trip there to see the tower. Aiyoh!!! I told him liau that there is nothing one in Teluk Intan. It's a very small town. So, don't wanna disappoint him and agree that we will drop by there.

This pagoda like structure were built in 1885 by a Chinese contractor called Mr. Leong Choon Choong. This was built for water storage. Read more from this site http://www.cuti.com.my/Sub/Perak/guide_tilearntw.htm

There is a clock inside and it's control by this funny iron. I also don't what is it called. Just show the the pictures only. No one knows how it works. This iron hor will go up and down one. The wonderful part is - the time in this clock never go wrong wor. *scratch head*This is the the thing that I am talking about where my hubby manage to get a closer view of it. He were so busy talking to a pak cik (old uncle) asking him how does this thing work. If you wanna know more hor....................... visit lar Teluk Intan. Afterall, this year is Visit Malaysia Year mah. Like my hubby always tease me, if you don't know much about the place of interest of Malaysia then, don't talk so much about places in oversea. We should be proud where we are from mah. At least if our friends or people that we meet from oversea ask us, we know mah. Ok ok, you are damn rite darling. One kiss for you. Muahhh....






Old Church

I have been so busy lately and I tried so hard to steal some time to spend on my blog. But everytime, when I wanna do it there is surely someone who call me on the phone to discuss over things or I am asked to do some work. Even for today, I were suppose to have a lunch appointment with a few old buddy but got to cancel it. Very busy and too busy. Since it is lunch time now and most of my customers are having their lunch too so, I decided to skip my lunch and used it to blog. Cheh wah!!! I realise there are a few more that I need to write because I promise all of you that I will share about my trip to Bidor and Teluk Intan. Being a Perakian, I am damn proud of my state so I wanna share with you about my beautiful state - none other than Perak, Darul Ridzuan.

We were driving from Teluk Intan to Bidor and something draw my attention. I am not a christian but somehow, I love to see old churches. For your information, from Std 1 till Form 5 - I go to the convent har. I know I know, someone of you will say that convent girl kah? Cheap lar - 5cents for a kiss and 10cents for a sleep. I am so used to hear that liau. So what? You think all convent girls like that meh? Let's forget about this convent story first. You wanna fight then, go ahead. Me, got no time for this liau.

Do you know how long is this church liau moh? Longer than St. Anne in Bukit Mertajam, Penang. Off course, this church is a very small one. So what, a church no matter how small it is - the main purpose is for people to go worship mah. So, size does not matter. It was lock and I could not go in to take more pictures. So, I snap a few from outside.

There are lots of old building in Perak but, I am wondering how come no one know. So, it's time for this faithful Perakian to take some time to go dig out some treasure liau. Hehehe.....

Like I told you, this church is so so so looonng liau. It's 775 years old chor. Wah!!! This is a very old building. What do you think?

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THIS?


What is this??? A fork and a spoon stick at where? For your information this is a cupboard, ok? I and hubby stay in this hotel called Newton in Shah Alam. Aiyah!!! I think only 2 moons saja lar. Were on our way to visit our suppliers and it's already middle of the nite - almost 2am so just dropped by whatever hotel that they have there. KNN (kun nee neh), when we were about to turn into the hotel, suddenly 1 ah kuah walk pass and gave me a shock - mana lah tau. It's already midnite and maybe hantu leh. Hahaha........ Anyway, thank god - that was a human being. After registered, we quickly go up to our rooms and when we enter the room, I were surprise because the room is very clean and when I saw this I quickly took a photo of it. You can say I sakai lar but have any of you seen this before? None leh................
