Ipoh Foodie: Historical Scotch Pub

Last year December 2009(actually not long ago) , while having my study weeks, I was glad to return to my beautiful hometown. Apart from studying, drama-ing, procrastinating, lazying....., I was visiting one of the oldest restaurant/pub in Ipoh!  Well, I think I was quite young when I started to have Scotch's famous chicken chop! Yes, its set lunch chicken chop was the signature of the restaurant!

Now, why would I refer this pub to be one of the oldest restaurant/pub in Ipoh town! Well, I did not really know that until my mom told me recently~~~ Before I was born, the Scotch Pub was already in operation! Gosh, it had been there for more than 20 years(@@)!!!! and she said that since it opened, its special chicken chop lasted until now! What a legacy!!!!!~~~That time in the 1970s and 1980s, the set of chicken chop cost about RM 5.80++ and now, it is RM 11.50 per set. But, the increment of price is over 20 years!!!!! In my opinion, this is actually reasonable for its retained taste!

The Today Menu, still my favourite chicken chop(^^)

Now, the tradition was that a poured glass of water was served the customer. Then, we made the order. Of course, me and my mom had 2 sets of lunch there(^^)

  1. Firstly, the bread and the soup of the day would be served! After enjoying beginning dishes, we waited for our main meal!
  2. Oh, the lovely and famous set lunch chicken chop had arrived! Well, with some side dishes like beans, french fries, it made a perfect combination! Not too much nor too little!
  3. Of course, after main meal, we had our little supper of tea/coffee and some fruits(^^)
  1. P.S: Sorry for the bad photos quality because the restaurant was dimmed - another special feature of the restaurant and the photos are taken by my nokia 5730)  
  2. P.S: Haha, also sorry for making this blog to become a foodie blog~~~

Ultimate Comeback!

Months of anxiety and despair under the shadow of the final judgment of Chemical Engineering Year 2 Sem 1 Final Examination, I am finally being released for just 1 day! Yes, Monday is a new day for a new battle! So sad, I never thought that Sem 2 would come that quickly.

This year, I had to take 4 papers. They are:
  1. Basic of Biotechnology (BOB) - never knew that chemical students have to take bio subjects! I totally suffered because it had been 3 years since I take anything biological-related! This paper no high hope at all.
  2. Differential Calculus for Engineering - Haiz, I thought Math would be okey! Again, it was in my dream again! ......
  3. Engineering Material - Omg! memoralise until I almost went crazy. But, it was a tough paper because very different from past year papers. (sad)
  4. Separation Processes 1 - Just had it ! did it badly to the max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's pray that I will pass them~~~ I really have no high hopes for this sem! All my hopes are now on my second sem~~~~~

Anyway, as we all known, it is now 2010! Yes, it is time for some new change and all. Therefore, I will be trying my best to give you all fantastic post! So, please be prepare for my ultimate comeback. But, before that, I am going to relax and chill for my 1-day holiday!


See you all soon(^^)!!!

Looking Back 2009 and Welcoming 2010

Seriously, time seems to fly like the speed of light. A couple of years ago, time was stagnant to me. Today, in my 20, I realised that if I keep on wasting time, eventually, there would be no time left. Anyway, this day is the final day of 2009. Like previous years, now is my study week. This is a post to look back my 2009! After reading Sinchew daily, I also want to do a look-back of significant events happen in my life!

January 2009
It was a month of examination, celebration and etc. Most of all, it was my 1st Cheque Out from Nuffnang! Yes, I love money($ $)..Hahaha~~~Apart from that, there were also other nice happenings in January like the Chinese New Year(^^), my birthday day! Oh gosh, it was indeed a month of celebrations.

Nuffnang 1st cash out!!!


February 2009
Well, February was the month that I start my next sem. Well, it was not as nice as January, but, I enjoyed a blast because I went jalan-jalan Malaysia. One of the nicest destination was Dong Zen Temple. It was like a magical lantern land.
