I Love U Shabu-Shabu @ Puchong

It was 28 October 2010, the date I submitted my plant design 2nd draft. This plant design is really so killing. I was spending two semester in completing this assignment yet when come to the date of submission, I was still need to burn midnight oil in completing it. The night after submitting the killer, I and darling plan to hunt for nice food again to reward myself! Here we came to "I Love U Shabu-shabu" in Puchong Jaya. This place is very easy to find, it is located at the shoplots next to IOI mall. When you enter the carpark of IOI mall, you are definitely able to see it. This place offers both buffet style steamboat and dim sum.

If your vehicle is parked in IOI mall, RM1 is discounted for you. An adult is charged RM26.80. Not much photos are taken as we are too hungry already.

The places offers:
1) Some ready-to-eat dishes such as sausage, chicken wing, fried mushroom, salads, fried mee, fried rice etc.
2) BBQ service where you can pick your seafood and some marinated meats to let the workers bbq it for you.
3) Dim Sum

Four types of soups are available which are:
1) Herbal
2) Tomyam
3) Clear chicken soup
4) ABC soup
Herbal is quite weird and not so suitable for seafood. Definitely don't go for clear chicken soup and ABC soup. They are tasteless! ABC soup is even worse as too much of onions are added making all the ingredients in the soup become tasteless. However, you can opt to change the soup base. So, we tried out all 4 types of soup base and made a conclusion that Tomyam is the best among four. Yet the Tomyam base taste a bit weird and quite different from the Tomyam soup I ever tried.

Part of our food

Their chicken wings are really nice! Yummy!

They serve quite wide variety of seafood. This clam is huge and fresh.

I like this Shabu only for the chicken wing. I would still prefer the Shabu I went last time in Bandar Puteri Puchong. Although they just offer a kind of soup, but it really taste better than this one. I am still very fancy with their special home-made sauce.

Ah Tuan Ee @ The Curve

Ah Tuan Ee's Place, is famous for its Nyonya delights. During our 1025 anniversary, I was really busy with tons of workload. However, darling still insisted to bring me out for a better meal during the weekend to release some stress. Here we came for ah Tuan ee's place~ Darling came this place before with his Australian CFO and colleagues as welcoming feast. The mat salleh quite loves this place, so I think this would be a good place for me to try out as well. I love darling because he will always think about me whenever he sees something fun or had something good. Just as this time, he would think to bring me to this place when he had a good time with his colleague here.

We like snapshooting~

The environment, quite crowded and kinda hot


Sambal Sotong (Small) - RM26.80
This was awesome! A little bit sweety and the sambal sauce is so stimulative~


Gulai Tumis Fish (Small) - RM20.80
This was quite so-so to me. It is good but it is like lack of something for me. The Dont-Know-What thing is missing.. However, after adding some sambal from "sambal sotong" to the gulai, it becomes perfect taste to me.



Pandan Chicken (Small) - RM17.80
Not the same like the ordinary Pandan Chicken from other ordinary Nyonya restaurant at which they tend to wrap the chicken by Pandan leaves. This chicken was fulled with Pandan fragrance and we guess they use the Pandan juice to marinate the chicken. Good!

Blog Template

今天感到很意外。在我又忙里偷闲时，游览了连接起来的blog, 竟然以为回到以前自己的部落格！咋看之下，原来是那个blog用了我以前用的template,吓到我一下，还以为自己辛辛苦苦edit的template突然间不见了。

nah~ 我之前用开的template~

现在看回觉得还蛮不错的哈哈~ 不过既然看到别人也在用了，就没意思了！还是有自己独有的template好，毕竟Blog是充分属于我天地的一个空间~

不殺生，怎麼請走蚊蟲？

螞蟻怕酸，蚊子怕辣，蟑螂怕香

夏天來了小生命們馬上就要出動了，提供給大家一個不殺生又能驅趕螞蟻、蚊子、蟑螂的妙法。

螞蟻怕酸味 !

家裡的甜食擺沒幾分鐘，螞蟻大軍立即來襲，讓人又氣又厭。在這裡獻給各位一項無毒無污染又安全有效的妙招：

新鮮檸檬對切成兩半，在看到螞蟻的地方及其動線，擠出檸檬汁，並拿著切半有果肉的那一面，沿途塗抹。神奇效果讓您再一次驗證大自然的奧妙！

蚊子怕辣味

蒜頭嗆退，植於花壇四周，其特殊的辛辣味隱隱飄散。驅蚊除了打掃環境、清除枯枝爛葉，試植蒜頭絕對是上上之策！

蟑螂怕香味

神出鬼沒的蟑螂，最愛隱身於掌管我們民生大計的廚房裡。面對「打不死的蟑螂」，辦法是將浴用香皂切成小塊，置於容器內注入清水，擺放在蟑螂出沒的櫥櫃內。不出數日，打開櫥櫃將令您訝異於蟑螂的無影無蹤，櫥櫃內還多了怡人的香味。想要效果持續，僅須定期 補充香皂容器內的清水。

不用打殺蚊子的辦法

一：把幾粒維生素C和維生素B2泡在水裡，將藥水塗抹在皮膚上，會產生一種讓蚊子不敢接近的氣味。

二：室內掛上橘色的窗簾，或燈罩上罩上橘色的玻璃紙，由於蚊子害怕橘紅色的光線，能產生很好的驅蚊效果。

铁人参加 Finishing School

忙里偷闲一下下~

最近真的好忙哦！从raya（9月19日）回来大学以后，就没有一天是得空的！一回来的第一个星期是oil and gas quiz 2,再来就是bioethanol plant design 1st draft submission咯，过后就一起来两个test paper，再加oil and gas quiz 3, 然后就final year project proposal submission, 现在就是要交 bioethanol plant design 2nd draft 的时候啦~

接下来的日子也不见得好过到哪里~ 一交完 2nd draft 就要交 oil and gas case study project, 然后就剩一星期的时间来应付FINAL EXAM~~~中间还穿插plant design presentation！好心，我们不是铁人咯~UPM的chemical engineering真的不是人读的！

最可恶的是在这种紧要关头竟然给我来个finishing school！两天的时间就完蛋啦～从早上８点到下午６点，哪还有时间赶完那么多的功课啊？其实，这个finishing school是一个很好的soft－skill课程，虽然它吃了我很多时间，可是真的让我获益不浅！要怪就怪在它不应该安排在这个时候，当要靠近final时往往就是最多功课最忙的时候了。如果不是听说没去会毕不到业，我也不会参加吧。

今天终于完成了两天的finishing school了，很喜欢！很庆幸我有出席，因为我拿到了一个很好的导师,虽然我没有朋友陪我一起去，但是我在那间教室里一点都不觉得孤单。他叫Dr. Renu,是一位非常有经验的aerospace教授。在这短短的两天，我学会了好多东西，如：如何写出和别人不一样的resume, 如何应对interview, 如何polish up 自己的presentation skill 等等。如此沉闷的教科竟然可以让我觉得那么的有趣及丰富，真的太喜欢Dr. Renu了。

虽然头几个小时觉得出席是非常愚蠢的事，因为真的太没时间啦，很多系友都躲在家里做plant design 2nd draft，突然觉得好后悔。可是，现在我可是觉得自己获益良多。虽然可以选择下个sem才出席，但是搞不好下个sem就遇不到那么好的导师了！

Kyung Joo @ Midvalley

My friend -Fishie- said I always go eat ho liao, what I can say is.. She is right! The only activity I can do in KL is to find good food, watch a good movie, and shopping. Other than that, I can only spend my leisure time in front of lappy to blog or watch PPS.

This time (15 Oct 2010) I and darling go hunt for good food again. It is a Korean restaurant in Midvalley called Kyung Joo, just beside the Carls Jr and same floor with the GSC cinema. Darling knew I am quite fancy with Korean food, and he purposely brought me here. I love sour, spicy and salty food, just as what they served!

This is the place


The environment

They will send up 6 plates of appetizers for a table, there are Kimchi, ikan bilis, beansprout, kangkung, mashed potato, and fu-yong-egg slices. Those dishes are awesome!

We tried out a Special Barbeque Chicken Set,
which completed with a big bowl of seafood bean paste soup - RM35.90

The barbeque chicken is very soft and juicy, special sauce make it perfect to the max! The bean paste soup taste like miso soup that we usually had, but a little bit spicier. They suits my taste very much! We did not order the grill meat which is the common dish in Korean restaurant as the fresh meat all are quite costly, which is about Rm30-40 per plate of meat. Also, the A La Carte menu is quite pricey too. Thus, a set of 2 dishes which serves 2 persons became our choice.

The Korean rice, it is RM5 per bowl~!
It makes me don't even wanna drop a grain :p
But it is included in our set menu

My Korean Green Tea - RM3.50

It has a strong taste of rice grain, I love it as it gives a taste of healthy to me~

Our extra order KimChee Jeon - RM18.90

Kimchee Jeon: Kimchee is fried with other vegetables in pancake form, it is crispy and gives special taste when dip with the sauce. A must-order dish whenever I head to Korean restaurant as I already fall in love with Kimchee. Whenever I saw Kimchee fried rice, Kimchee fried mee, Kimchee instant noodle, Kimchee this Kimchee that I will sure order, I just purely love their sour and spicy taste!

The sweets after the bill :) It is red ginseng candy, not that bitter as I thought, and I love it

The next day, which is today, we went chilis again :)

Chicken breast grilled with BBQ sauce and top beef bacon and cheese, served with mashed potato and boiled brocolli. Only one word to describe it: Perfect!

Darling's Cheddar Oldtimer - RM19.45. He will never bored with this burger
It's his dish whenever he come to chilis.

Darling姐姐在这么难得的一个日子注册了~ 我们当然都到场祝贺咯! 这一天真的有好多对新人注册呢，单单我们去的马六甲天后宫就有100对了哦，真难得可以和那么多人一起注册及共享欢乐。

可是，给我的看法是：我不喜欢这样的注册方式。它给我的感觉是杂乱的，吵闹的， 复杂的。可能我为人比较孤僻吧，我喜欢简简单单的方式，只有我们二人的。虽然只有二人的订婚仪式显得有些冷清，但是可以免掉许多累人的仪式如：集体拜天公，集体放气球和炮竹，听许多名人的致贺演讲，100对新人集体玩游戏如比赛最特别的互抱、接吻、求婚方式，互饮交杯酒，100对新人注册证书颁发礼，排大合照等。天啊，看到那么多人挤在一个小小的天后宫，新人们的亲戚朋友又争相恐后的，真的好累哦！我可能患了人群恐惧症了~无论如何，每个人心中都有自己理想的结婚仪式，最重要就是新人开心！还是要恭祝各位新人白头偕老，永远幸福！

一大清早就有好多人在那边等候了！


真的不是普通的多人！


幸福的新人

新人与长辈合照！

好恩爱的夫妻~

我与Aunty的合照~

新娘与Darling


新娘与我

大合照

我们也来凑热闹！


其中一项仪式：百对新人齐放气球


祝你们百年好合


恭喜！

有人欢喜有人悲，就在参加完Carrie姐的注册典礼后，当晚我们要启程回吉隆坡的时候，竟然遇上大塞车，途中又好多ambulance和bomba经过，心想肯定是有大车祸了！心中很害怕，便帮他们祷告， 希望牵涉这起交通车祸的人没事就好！但是，车祸实在太严重了... 惟有希望那些死者家属可以得到安慰，伤者可以早日康复。

Pork Knuckle @ Bavarian Bierhaus

Fuhhhh.. Finally my two tests and one quiz is over, it has been a really busy month for October as all assignments, tests and quizzes, final year project proposal and plant design 1st and 2nd draft are all squeezed in October! Of course there is other tiny assignments (if compared to above) as well. Although I am still busy for school works at the following weeks, I still wish to steal out some little time to blog about memorable events on October.

Bavarian Bierhaus, located at The Curve, is famous for its German pork knuckle and huge sausages. Of course as a tam-chiak couple, I and darling couldn't find any reason to miss out this!

Outside the restaurant, there is a water fountain

The environment

History of Bavarian

We had made a survey prior to our dating to this restaurant, conclusion was that the portion of dish is really really huge and one plate of pork knuckle can be shared up by 2-3 persons. Normally a table of 6 will share up 2-3 plates of their different signature dish, however, we are only 2 persons, thus we cant try out the knuckle and sausages at the same time. Yet they understand our desire and problem! There is a combo knuckle, completed with German sausages, fried pork knuckle, and ham. The combo knuckle has only one choice which is fried one, I would love to try other knuckle plate such as grilled honey knuckle next time, I bet it would be nicer, as eating too much of fried stuff will make me feel "jelak"~

Our combo knuckle set - RM70.00

The side dishes: Potato and sour cabbage. Potato is very good while sour cabbage taste weird at first, but when u feel sicken of the fried fatty knuckle, it became very well-taste! German sausage is so juicy while the ham is so thick and not ordinary taste of supermarket ham that usually had.

It looks small for the picture above? And you will know how big it is now!

Horrible right? See also full already :p

The combo is served with this special gravy

Msia Pork knuckle :p still lose to German one

Finally finished off~ Bone also very big!

Combo knuckle - RM70

Fresh Lemonade - RM13.90

Ice Lemon Tea - RM7

Our total bill included taxes : RM104.55
