Jom perkena mee rebus!

After a long hard day working at the trial plot in MARDI...I'm proudly announce it is now lunch time!

 Today I was given a chance to choose the eating place! Hooray!

I'm thinking to have something light and no-no rice please! I had plenty of them and feels fat enough.

There was a nice place that I haven't yet visit since last time in 2010 with my lab's colleague. 

They said the place was quite famous and it was true indeed because served you with delicious yet a simple meal. 

Welcome to  Mee Rebus Mak Long!

Of course the house specialty was mee rebus. The plain mee rebus cost you for only RM3.50 and the special mee rebus (you can have it with beefs prawns or chickens) for only RM 4.50. Amazingly cheap! It was a simple detection on how to know to food was indeed good when Prof Albert is around. just asked him aout the food and if he answer, "ohh, I think the food is very nice, it wasn't spicy and I like it." This means that the food was great!

Besides mee rebus, you can have chicken rice and it was a nice dish also. Smelled of homemade cooking really rocks your appetite especially when you are really far away form home. 

 So, kawan-kawan, jangan lupa singgah na kalau ke Kepala Batas. Pi pekena mee rebus!

I'm having Mee Rebus Special with Beefs 

Prof Albert is excited - I can it from here!

Tapai Pulut - as appetizer :)

Nurul Ikan Bakar!

It has been my third time eating here as I was away to work up north of the country. I like it so much and this place was highly recommended my me! The restaurant was located in Batu Uban. Driving from Perai across the magnificent Penang bridge will take you about 20 minutes (with normal speed). Take the exit towards Bayan Lepas and take the first exit on your left. Be extra cautions because the exit from the highway towards the restaurant was small and easily to be missed. The exit to this awesome place was a bit narrow and easily you will miss the junction if you are not careful enough.

          What makes this place a pit stop for you while visiting the Penang Island? It is because they serves you with plenty of fresh seafood! Fresh shrimps, squids, sting rays, sea basses and cockles can be found here. These foods can be prepared according to what suites your taste by simply grilled, steamed, stir fried, a sweet sour dish or fry it with hot chilies. Just name it! The price was reasonable enough and affordable.

          It was a really nice place really. Even the  people from the Netherlands and Japan love it. Last time when I was brought here with Mrs Sacha, she mention that the shrimps at the restaurant are bigger, fresh and cheap! Yup, this is because the shrimps that she used to eat back home in the Netherland are imported one. Alhamdulillah, the food are still considered cheap here in our country. Don't forget Prof. Albert and Mrs Tomoko. They too enjoy the food that being served here. I remember Mrs Tomoko said, "Oishii!" while the food. So, when you are in Penang, care to have a bite there and tell me what you think of it! Hoping you will feel the same as I am!

Fresh from the sea.

The menu: Grilled sting ray, fried squid, sweet sour sea bass, mango salad and stir fried vegetables. 

The parties and busy with their cameras.

Syawal 2012 - Keropok Cap Tenggiri

I am on my way back to Kuala Lumpur. It has been a short time celebrating raya at my hometown. So sad! I am going to miss them. Sudah lah jarang balik sekejab ja pulak tu.

On the way, I managed to stop over at one of the shop that sells keropok lekor. Never miss it and I do think it was one of the best keropok lekor shop! Sedap. Moreover, there are various types of keropok were sold there too. If you come to visit Terengganu and have keropok lekor on your mind, I recommend to have a stop here at the Kedai Keropok Cap Tenggiri at Kemaman.

The keropok lekor was freshly made in front of your eyes

IFTAR - Pulau Ketam Steamboat

Yeay...berbuka pose harini dengan Zaidiana dan Shah. Today we are having something hot and steamy food at the Pulau Ketam Steamboat at Desa Park City. Kenyang sangat. Order harini lamb set for rm15.90 dengan air carrot juice. Nak tahu ape yang special pasal tempat ni? You have to try their green chilies.campur dengan bawang goreng memang terangkat babe! They will.serve you with three different soup that are tomyam, curry and chicken.soup. You can choose which one you like and I prefer to have my steambot with tomyam soup..delicious!

          After that both of us heading to pick up Pija's at her house and then we went up straight to Tutti Frutti. Memang boleh beku seh bila makan eskrim dikala sejuk begini...haha...ketaq tangan iolls. Whatever it is memang seronok.

P/S: Shah konfirm da order kukis...12 balang...Alhamdulillah :)

Terbaik - Jo Cendol Pulut!

After roaming around Thailand, my mates and I were taken to a restaurant near the Bukit Kayu Hitam highway to have a refreshment drinks and some food before we hit back to the hotel in Alor Star. I personally recommend this place as a pit stop because the food was so great. Things you should try are the Cucur Udang and the restaurant's specialty, the Cendol Pulut. Simple food but it taste marvelous! The Asam laksa there was delicious too! If I am not mistaken, the restaurant was not for from the Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). FOLKS, YOU SHOULD GO HERE TOO!

Welcome To Thailand!

Saje je nak cerita...Well, this is my first time step my foot on Thailand's soil. Wohoo! Exited even though not that far from Malaysia. Just across the border. Anyway thanks to Datuk for bringing us to Dannok although it was really a short trip. Seriously I'm not satisfied because there are so much interesting things there. memang best. They said the night life there were awesome (only for men I guess). But it is okay, no need to be there at night because I think it is quite scary. For only 3 hours of roaming around Dannok, this is what I found interesting and mainly about foood! I wanted to go there again next time!

Welcome to Thailand...Sempat ambil gambar budak kiut!

Pulut ayam goreng siap dengan logo Halal :D

Special Chicken Chop

While in Penang, I have decided to drag my BF to roam around and find something interesting. He showed me the Penang Port which I found quite beautiful at night. We went further up north looking for food.

          Then I saw this glittery and a really nice decorated restaurant just besides the main road. There we decided to have Lamb Chops, Mixed Grilled, Mee Gulung (the waiter told it was the restaurant's special dish), Lime with Asam Boi and Soursop drinks, although earlier we are actually have eaten Glutinous Rice with Mango and Laksa. Probably I feel a bit greedy at that time. Lol! The portion of the food was BIG and can be considered as CHEAP.. The taste for me is good and nice suitable with the price. Total price of the dishes are below RM50.00! HAPPY!

So, guys don't forget to check out this place!

Goodbye January and Say Hello to February

Today is the last day of January 2012. I can't sleep last night due to the bombing like experience of fire cracker wars in the neighborhood. It was a nightmare. I just can't imagine to those who is in reality facing a
       
          Lets talk about January. Loads had happened in a slip second without any warning. Adventurous indeed I may say. At the beginning, there is an opening party. Next, meeting interesting people in exchanging new things and knowledge which always fascinate me. I began to wonder how people would have their lives in a such ways. So, imagining is the key point to understand. I do like cool stuff, such as an odd design watch nut yet pretty or maybe, hitching a ride on a train just to get to the country from Thailand before 9.50pm. That was some awesome story that are real and not from just story books. Wishing I would have that experience. 

          Between mid and end of Jan, there are more surprises and don't forget the skinny crab! I really like to share one of the best Tomyam and Kerabu Mangga that i ever taste before. Located at Taman Melawati, the placed called Pha-Pha Garden Restaurant. I think they have this new menu, steamboat and barbecue. We do asked weather the steamboat came with tomyam soup and they said yes! Yeay, all the food you can eat and only cost a little.

The Flaming Tomyam

          Tomorrow all of us will step in to the month of February. As for me counting four days a head hoping to be a wiser person and lucky enough I have found someone that is more exciting than ever before. More surprisingly, there are small things that you've made make me stunned. Thank you!

Happy Ending but NO Fat Crab!

For a few months I have been craving a fat and juicy crab. Suddenly, there i heard "Hei, jom kita pergi makan ikan bakar kat Jeram...biar mereka yang belanje," and the finger pointed directly at me and several of us. Then, in my mind thinking of the fat crab meat...OMG, just imagine how juicy they are and plus you have been caving for months!  

            Although, I felt so sleepy form the carpets shopping frenzy at Nilai 3 with Mom, aunties and cousins but because of the fat crabby vision that i have installed in my mind, I made it through that far-far place called Medan Ikan Bakar at Jeram. For your information dear readers, please feel free to book before you go there and have fun...Seriously, it is pack especially during holidays. Because we did not book a place there, so, waiting is the most option available since we are so HUNGRY and exhausted! It is worth waiting because we got the best view. Phew, worth waiting (or else I'll becoming Godzilla there)~

Beautiful Sunset!

          Let 's talk about food...em em em...the Siakap Tiga Rasa is one one the best dishes there...but the rest, Butter Prawn, Ikan Pari Bakar, Ketam Bercili are a so-so...Dishes that you will not remembered how it taste like. the most saddest part is, the crab is SKINNY! Sob Sob...Its ok...Maybe it is not crab's season perhaps. There will be next time! 

The boys~

Deep conversation with Nab

Nasi Lemak and Iced Coffee

To be honest...its kinda sucks to be in these shoes...and I'm gradually learned to hate everyone around me...feeling insecure is greater than before...OK OK OK...I'm feeling stressed now....

Source: Google

          Lunch time is a perfect getaway for me at this moment. I really like to drive and driving will leave things behind....so, I went for nasi lemak and a glass of iced coffee at the RNR Nilai. It was fabulous and only cost me RM3.00 for that incredible taste. Thank you Allah for giving me this great pleasure of yours...Now it is time to think really hard what do I really want within this short period...and here it goes:

• CheryPolka needs to be official soon

• More thing to bake and more experimental with baking also

• Put on a nice shoes and travel

• Try to get myself in a happy place

• Have a travel calender for myself

• Don't ever forget a camera...just in case

• And lastly is a NO NO NO NO NO NO NO to travel along with families

Yeah...you may think I'm crazy but seriously, "Ade mak kesah?"... So, message to myself : Think about yourself and only from the 10th place is provided others. Anything falls in between is all about me...It's sound so selfish, but do you care? No need to be in these shoes because you have your own shoes to fit in...until we meet again soon~
