Ipoh Trip: 1st stop. Ipoh Famous Yong Tau Foo @ Pasir Pinji Big Tree Foot

All right. I have been MIA for so long saying I would stop blogging here.
I... guess I changed my mind.

So, here I am, once again.
Writing about my blas and blus and most of all...

FOOD TRIP!

-----------------------------------------------------

Me and Sam thought of going for a trip during our 3 days holidays from the end of April till Labour Day.
Hardly we have been granted three VALUABLE holidays and thus, making a good use of it is our main priority.


After departing from my office at 1pm, we reached Ipoh around 3.40pm, can't blame me,
the traffic is congested along the highway -.-


Our first stop is none other than Pasir Pinji Big Tree Foot Yong Tau Foo.

This reputation of it isn't something of a hoax, the Yong Tau Foo (Yong Liew) made from the fish paste really taste fresh and every bite just brings you to another level of comfort... "food comfort". Every little Yong Liew we ate was definitely worth its money as the Yong Liew are stuffed packed, ensuring every bite is a BOMB!

I nearly forgot to mention about the soup base of the Yong Tau Foo, it is HEAVENLY!
The anchovies (ikan bilis)-based soup is very concentrated. Though a bit salty, it saltiness and the taste of the ikan bilis blend well with the fried Yong Liew.



Going at 60-70 cents per piece, this delicious masterpiece is definitely a must-go for anyone.

Here is the LOCATION of the place if you need to refer to the Google Map.




Author's note: The location is quite isolated from the town. So, make sure you look carefully in your search.

My post will be shorter compare to last time, but I'll make sure every word speaks content.

Till then,

Adios

Love,

2011 New Year Resolution

After writing the New year resolution for 2010 so that I can at least have a target for myself so that
I won't look so useless when I reflect on my life of what I did for 2010.

Pathetic? Yeah, maybe. At least I'm better than those that wasted their 2010 basically doing nothing that would help them :P

I did completed 4 out of 6 resolution for 2010. So I think I can manage the future resolutions.



Now I'm going to go straight into my 2011 New Year Resolution.

1) Earn more $$$$$. Increase my monthly income to 3k-4k. (Thanks to you, Mr. MyVi)
A bit unrealistic maybe. But it is possible. Trust me.

2) Jog/Swim/Biceps training at least once a week. (My dumbbells have been lying around for quite
some time -.-)

3) Meet up with my old pals and new buddies. (Seriously, after I moved out to OUG, I've not been meeting up with them often. Miss ya guys.

4) Have at least 7 hours of sleep everyday. (I can't seem to have 8 hours of sleep a day like how I use to be)

5) Succeed in doing all the resolutions above. (Okay, this is a cheat, but hey! If I could do the above 4, I deserved the extra "completed resolutions", right?


This year will be a tough one for the Rabbits (Zodiac). As we are "offending Tai Shui". So, Rabbits, work harder!

Till then

HAVE A WONDERFUL 2011 

A small gathering at my place

Yours truly

Well, this entry has been postponed for too long so here goes nothing.

Had a small gathering with Ah Yan, Ah Jan, Sam and me at my place few weeks back.

It was so blAaaardy spontaneous that I virtually have no prepare for it.

After having Kin Kin chilli Pan Mee that morning, I told Sam and Jan that I would make Tapas for leisure later.

Who knows, they are so into Tapas and we decided to buy the ingredients from Jusco (I think) and go straight to my place for Tapas.

Sam brought her own absolute vodka and thank god we did that.

Making Tapas isn't that difficult when you have the heart and experience (I made Bruschetta before), armed with my Tapas recipe book, I continued to make my choice of Catalan toasts and Wild Mushroom and allioli toasts.

It is cool preparing food with my friends, though, both of them ate my Baby Roma tomatoes more than helping me =.="

But nonetheless, mucho gracias, mi amigos.

After finishing the last piece of Tapas, we brought Ah Yan back to my place again and we played PS2, card games, accompanied with vodka, Tapas and some....food... that I have no idea what it's called ^^"

Lazy day, exhausting day. But full of fun.

and my Tapas taste really good :P heh heh!

All right. That's all for now.

Till next time.

HAVE A TAPAS-FRIENDLY DAY

Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee @ Cheras

Okay the post has been dragged too long. So here it is.


Ever since I started working, hunting for good food has been on top of my list.
This time, the so-called best chilli Pan Mee is my target.


I didn't went to the original outlet (Jalan Dewan Sultan Sulaiman) but gone to the outlet in Pandan Indah, Cheras.



The differences between these two outlets are:

Cheras..............................Chow Kit

Hygiene: Cleaner..................Dirtier

Service : Rock......................Like a rock down your throat

Price : Malaysian economy.......Malaysian economy

Taste : Godly.......................Devilish Godly

(All of the above are compared from personal experience and other bloggers' experience I found through the net)

Even though this new outlet is much bigger and they covered TWO rooms at the same time,
the food serving speed ain't fast enough.


Why?
Sadly they only have ONE kitchen to serve TWO shop lots.


It is like using one piece of toilet papers for two assess when you shit.

I've tried the food, it wasn't that SUPER DUPER OH-MY-GOD tasty like how I thought it would.
But nonetheless, it sure taste so good you want to keep eating it (May be it's down to the psychological factor that we waited for so long, so it must be good, right?)

The chilli flakes is darn spicy, man, this is definitely not for the NOOBS in spicy food.
I put 3 spoonful of the chilli flakes and damn, I was wrong for doing that.

Since I ordered dried mee, it is bloody dry and with chilli flakes on top, it is super spicy compare to the soup base as the chilli here has no where to go but with the noodles. -.-

The soft boiled eggs taste really good as the way to eat it is to mix everything together in the bowl and eat it after that.

Something like this...

If I need to describe the 'journey' I've finished this bowl of noodles, it would be something like this...


A tough journey starts from zero, chewing strings of explosives in a fully-contained environment gave tonnes of bombardments in the area. As the explosives bombarded the reservoir of ice, ocean of saliva flows out and BAMB!!! SCREAMS of TEARS from the contained-environment sending signals to the brain to STOP EATING!! But heck, as a man, I'll not bow down. Carrying the burden of this spice of life, I've finished this journey finally.

So, that's how the Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee's noodle taste like, I can't complain much as it does satisfied me in a way.
So, until next time.
Be careful of your food choice.

Next entry would be about the Tapas + Vodka party at my place.

TILL THEN

HAVE A SPICY DAY
