Ewa di Penchala

Makan di Ewa today. If you know Sambal Hijau in Penchala, then just down the road you can find Ewa Chinese Cuisine. Orang tidak ramai di sini, which I don't know why because their deep fried squid in salted egg yolk and chicken kungpao are very very nice! We earlier went to some ayam kukus place in Damansara Perdana (I think) but the queue was long. Ana Patin House was equally packed so Ewa it is. 

Chicken Kung Pao with Arlo, as illustrated by my husband.

You get free tofu if you order the chicken set. On the right is the much loved squid.

Nearing 7

My first-born wore his Standard 1 uniform (bought only yesterday, mind you) for his assessment test today. Yup, same kid who’s had so many adventures in the hospitals, same kid who broke his brother’s tooth, same kid who just recently recovered from a bad case of eczema.

Next year he’s standard 1 already! So bummed I couldn’t be there for him this morning because I had an event that I couldn’t wiggle myself out of. While we constantly feel sorry for ourselves for not being able to send him to a private school we do hope that he will do well. I’m gonna wait until the day before his official 1^st day of school to cut his hair because to quote what I just read from an article titled ‘Why I Don’t Want to Cut My Son’s Hair’:

“Because ultimately, I just don’t want that kid to grow up.”

That’s completely true.

This afternoon at Jaya, I saw a former singer with his frail mother. She can still walk, but he was holding her hand and not a single moment did he ever let go. “I hope my sons will grow up to be like him,” I said to myself. Not as a singer, but as good men who will continue to care for me even when I’m too old to be cool.

Ah, Ibu getting melancholic. Can’t wait to get home to hug my Rumi today. 

Abang Rumi probably half awake here. <3

The Ganga Cafe

Once in a while I'd follow my colleagues to this favorite vegetarian restaurant of theirs in jalan kurau and boy this Ganga Cafe is full vegetarian. They even have fake meat and all. A bit pricey though. 

This was my lunch set. Chapati standard which comes with the side dishes. Ordered fried bitter gourd on the side. So delicious! Last time I came here I ordered nasi briyani but it was too bland for my liking. Besides, I need chicken with my briyani man!!!

Back when I was pregnant with Rumi I ate so much bitter gourd. People say that explains his gorgeous black hair. Probably a myth, I don't know. 

Lunch is not complete without dessert! Took a detour to Straits Company in Bangsar for hispter cendol. We requested for extra gula melaka. Baru ada kick! 

Sopoong

Confident je call this place Sojoong. It's Sopoong! Sopoong means 'picnic'. Few days back my colleagues decided to venture out a bit to Berjaya Times Square with hope that we'd be able to check out some costumes for our upcoming annual dinner. Hampeh. One shop was closed ON THAT DAY OH WTF and another 'costume' shop is actually a cosplay/kinky shop. 

-_-

But that's okay. A colleague discovered Sopoong and our lunch was pretty good! You know the food is near authentic when the owners are actually there to serve you (they're Koreans btw) and the kimchi taste great. Great! 

tteokbokki long time no see! 

My dish. It's chicken fried rice with omelette and seaweed. Sedap! Generous chicken bits and it's kinda sweet. Add that with kimchi and boom!

Speaking of annual dinner I have yet to nail down a perfect costume. Kejap nak jadi Pocahontas, kejap nak jadi Fat Amy, kejap nak jadi Wednesday Addams... Whatever it is I need to make sure I dress comfortably because I will be performing 2 numbers that night! Dancing lor. Can't sing for peanuts. Blah. 

Komik Kon Malaysia 2015

I may not be a hardcore comic fan but after experiencing the PopCon in Jakarta this year I might as well check out the first ever Komik Kon in Malaysia. Few tell-tale signs that this con may not a great one:

• Location location location, MAEPS, Serdang. Like seriously? How are you going to attract those who doesn't drive? Especially teenagers who probably make up 50% of the avid comic fans. 
• Hardly any publicity. 

That aside, photos! Entrance fee was RM35 bucks. Not exactly worth it... Do better next year guys! Here's a tip - get a big corporation to sponsor. :)

Took me a while to notice that Rumi was holding hands with the Storm Trooper. Heh heh.

The kid in the Dragonball costume is so cute! I also saw 'obi wan kenobi' walking with his daughter dressed as Princess Leia. I die. Cutest pair ever.

Your favorite superheroes dancing to feng tau music. Don't play-play, the Spiderman can do a mean breakdance move. Heh.

The boys getting acquainted with Kylo Ren. Please don't suck in the movie dude.

Yay robots!!!

Hello you.

Hello to you too.

Cool t-shirts sold here. I have enough t-shirts.

Sime Darby

Trust Sime Darby Convention Centre to be a step ahead when it comes to festive season menu. Got invited to their CNY Food Review. Oh hell I didn't get the memo about it being a full course menu food tasting dinner! (much to DH's changrin -_-)

I didn't complete the course because they started late (pffth typical). Managed to taste 3 dishes and yee sang. It was alright. I mean I've tasted better yee sang y'all. But I did enjoy their in-house band a la Stomp. And oh, they've refurbished the place. Goodbye nice yellow lamps hello er, old-fashioned chandeliers. ;p

Happy birthday Mama

Happy birthday Mama, I'm sorry I couldn't do more for your when you were still around but I hope you are doing well. I want to write more but I don't want to cry. Al-Fatihah.

limapulo: baba can cook

Well it seems limapulo has moved to jalan doraisamy - i haven't been to the heritage row for ages! a lot of things have changed and since i was there during lunch time i didn't get to try butter&bean and league of captains next door. waiting time to eat at limapulo during lunchtime though, is roughly half an hour. but it's worth the wait. and the best part is they have lunch sets! yay for poor corporate slaves!

But our lunch turned out expensive because Rai decided to order ikan pari and other dishes. -_-

I'm not a big fan for sago pudding but uncle john's sago is the best! 

uncle john is the owner that you will see at the counter by the way. sempoi je dia.
