The Vanishing Petaling Street (消失中的茨厂街)

I still remember the debate on the MRT construction at the Petaling Street area. What is the outcome? Anyhow, after the news, I basically went there to have a walk down memory lane. (Yup, quite a sentimental guy I am). It is funny that people don't remember what they said, I do. 

Well, this is the price of development. Whether Petaling Street will be a history or not, we'll see. During my undergraduate life (foundation year), I always went past this area to reach Puduraya (Even Puduraya underwent an extreme makeover (HERE)). Because the stupid and naive me, didn't know that Plaza Rakyat is just beside Puduraya. Therefore, after taking KTM to KL Sentral, me and my coursemate will take the LRT to Pasir Seni. From there, we dragged our luggage with the rush to buy the earliest ticket back home. Those were the days. Now, I believe I am too old to carry 4 BAGS per person already..Hahaha~

On our way, we often passed by a Chinese temple, but time restriction ceased our step into the temple. But, this time around, I decided to take my own sweet time and have a final look (don;t know whether the temple will be affected or not though). You can see the joss stick, releasing the fume of worship. 

The golden dragons are guarding the temple. Too bad the temple was under construction and renovation, therefore, didn't get to take a lot of photos that time (><).

Hopefully, this heritage can be conserved for many years to come. Anyhow, recently, very hardworking in finding a job. No easy to find a job even though I am a graduate in Master of Engineering, kinda stress and sad ~ Jobstreet maybe a good source of employment, but the competition is horrific~~~~ 1 fresh graduate position, 4000 people applied, this is insane (@@)

Mysterious Wantoon Stall @ Seri Kembangan.

Location of the wantoon mee stall: Unknown.. Hahaha, not really, it is located quite near to the Hakka Village Restaurant, just further a bit. Therefore, you have to be observance looking for this Wantoon mee stall in a normal residential area (house in SK Kampung). 

 Even though I called it a Wantoon stall, it still offers a variety of noodles such as kuetieu, wantoon, etc. To top this mee, there were even some stuffed dishes such as fishballs, yongliu, fupei.This is the famous wantoon mee with roastpork (should char siew). Of course, the wantoon is smooth and nice.

They also prepare dessert in this stall. The red-bean soup was quite okay, not too sweet. What I like about this shop is that the price is quite cheap and really taste like a kampung-orientated delicacies (^^)

You should go try to find this mysterious shop to try try ..hohohoho~~~

Win, Won, Win Little Prizes

It had really been a while since I have won anything at all. Due to dreadful dealines and schedule, I totally missed out a lot prizes for 2011 and 2012. However, little lady of the luck was still on side. I won some little prizes that made my day a happier day (^^)

Despite this magazine won was a bit irrelevant to a guy, I find it quite useful in obtaining my "beauty" along with my mom and sis (^^) Quite common for metrosexual-era guys , right? (^^)....`~

Not just that, there were even some little items like pens, dog-wire wrapper, little cushion and another pen..Yup, really no need to buy pens because mostly I won pens (><) So scary ~ It is like endless supplies of pens and the pens I bought last time still got supply.......

Another win was quite some time ago for the movie Water for Elephant~ It was quite spectacular but I really disliked Robert Pattison; should have find another more prominent actor ~ Anyhow, the T-shirt is really awesome (^^) along with the chinese hand-fan..(^^). But, really need to lose 10 kg in 10 days to fit in this T-shirt anymore (><)

Lou Wong Tauge Ayam Kuetiau (老黄芽菜鸡）@ Ipoh

This is obviously one of the top restaurants in Ipoh because most tourists or other travellers know about this beansprout chicken restaurant. The reasons of its fame? (1) The juicy and big tauge! (2) Smooth chicken. Of course, due to its popularity, it is always crowded. No joke (@@).....

The image above showed the work station of the restaurant.I don;t really eat quite often. Usually, I will only accompany my family and friends to come here ~ They serve their drinks in such that it is fast and effective. Of course, I am sure that you all are anxious to have a look at the dishes, right (^^)~~~


The beansprouts are large and juicy since Ipoh is quite famous with this vegetable.The reason for this restaurant to be famous is that the chicken is always very smooth. If it is like the other shops which serve you chicken that is rough and liat, I wouldn't recommended it~


Depending on your appetite, you can order kuetiau or even rice. As for me, I am always hungry as if having a bottomless stomach; therefore, I would order rice. Their kuetiau combo with the tauge and chicken is amazing! To add on, their fishballs also make a great dish. There are a mixture of fishballs and porkballs.

With good food like this, it is so hard for me not to gain weight (><) Anyway, bon appetite!!!! ~~~

The Past of Batman and The Incepted Dark Knight

With the buzz going with Dark Knight (Batman), of course, as a movie fan, I went to catch the Dark Knight Rises ASAP. Anyhow, the news of shooting during the premier in US were horrible; that's why there should be a ban on the open-selling of weaponry !!!!!! ~~~ Back to the movie, the trilogy of batman by Christopher Nolan was phenomenal. Casting Christian Bale as batman, this decision was brilliant. He was really consistent in his performance. While everybody loves Ledger's performance as Joker in the 2nd installment, I thought it was okay only as compared to the story development of Joker in the original movie of Batman. To me, the 3rd movie was the best amongst the 3 movies of Dark Knight. However, the 2nd installment by Tim Burton was amazing too with a darker and crazier storyline. Thus, I have made a summary for the past and present of Batman movie so far. (^^)

After the tabulation and downloading of old movies, I finally came up with this chart to summarise all the Batman movies. So far, Batman Returns (1992) still captures my heart all thanks to Penguin's gross yet authentic acting and Catwoman's amazing transformation and wildness. While the 1st movie 1989, Jack Nicholson's Joker still remained the best (in my humble opinion). 

The following batman movies of Batman forever, Batman and Robin had declined in its predecessor's achievement. They had become more cartoon-y; but, they weren't that bad at all. However, the Dark Knight trilogy stole the attention of all movies. Of course, the reasons were obvious. (1) More amazing graphic and stunts (2) Better story development (3) More mature and less crazy acting.....

Talking about Dark Knight Rises, this is my most fav in all 3 movies because it is quite a good ending. While the twisted plot may be the reason, the casts did quite a good job too. Therefore, I called this movie the INCEPTED DARK KNIGHT. Reason? A lot of the casts came from Inception ----- Marion Cotillard (Miranda); Joseph Gordon Levitt (Blake); Tom Hardy (Bane)......

Anyway, the cast was awesome. While Bane did most actions and talking, I still think that the fight between him and Batman was a bit "heavy". Another debate of the movie was that WHO IS THE BETTER CAT WOMAN? I think Anne Hathaway did a good job as catwoman. But, Michelle Pheiffer will always be a classic because the character and action were as of in the comics with whip and claws!!! While Anne's catwoman was more modern-like with her own personality.

Taste Different Restaurant 味不同@ Bercham Ipoh

My parents took me personally to enjoy this seafood restaurant known as KEDAI MAKANAN RASA LAIN (味不同） which was more than satisfactory!!!  (Note: This post is quite obsolete, so prices might vary tremendously?????)...hahahahha

Every time, we went there; the people was literally human mountain human sea.. (hahahaha, 人山人海）。Finally, going there around 5.30pm, we snatched a table easily. As a so-called healthy family, we ordered vegetable 1st. Then, came the so-called Stephen Chow's 爆漿瀨尿牛丸alike only,........ the 西刀鱼丸 （Saito Fish balls)  is a must-order !

Then, instead of order dishes and rice, we ordered fish porridge and crab mee which both of them were totally out of the ordinary! The fish porridge's taste was sweet and tasty while the crab mee was really smooth and silky (^^). You can see the crab from the pic below, it was fresh and juicy (^^)

 

The meal ended with a splash! Really (^^)　Because, it is never complete without prawns (^^). We ordered the cheese prawns in claypot. It was like eating a pizza. (^^). hahhahaahhha~~~~
