End Of The World Seafood @ Teluk Bahang

After our super tiring trekking at Penang National Park, it was almost 3pm, and yet we still not had our lunch. Though I still left some mui-choy dumplings in my backpack but people want something better and proper. Dad suggested to go for seafood as Teluk Bahang has been famous for nice and cheap seafood since I was small.  We came to End of the World, a restaurant we used to visit quite frequent in the past whenever we thought of seafood, but no idea since when we have forgotten it.

Muka Head Lighthouse, Penang National Park

On my past Raya holiday, I and darling were heading back to Penang for our one week holiday. Nothing much to do during our holiday except enjoying good food and visiting friends and relatives. Since I was in guilt for not bringing him walk around in this beautiful pearl of orient, while darling doesn't like heritage and museum, so I decided to go somewhere which can enjoy the nature, at the same time exercising. Yeah we need exercise seriously, as a result of eating too much, we now have flabby body and big belly! This time I suggest to Penang National Park because parents joined along, so I wanna make it a picnic family trip rather than routinely hiking. 

I have actually been to the Penang national park few years ago, but hiking to Pantai Kerachut, not a really challenging one compared to this time. Sorry to mummy for inviting her to come along since she has serious knee pain, but she seemed enjoy with this little family trip. I am actually quite upset for can't accompanying them always, glad that this time they did join us, I really love family outing, too bad brother and sister not joining us. 

We waked at 7.30am, after grooming we departed to nearby Dim Sum restaurant to pack some food for picnic. Reached national park located at Teluk Bahang at 9.00am. Today our target was climb to Muka Head light house, the final point of the trail. Usually people start hiking from the starting point (Visitor center) to Muka Head, then travel back by boat. This time I chose an opposite way, which is travel to Monkey Beach by boat, then hike to Muka Head and continue back to the starting point. The reason was trail from visitor center to monkey beach is long and tiring, and trail to Muka Head was even harsh. If we hike from starting point to Monkey beach, I worry that we will get exhausted and give up to go Muka Head. So when we reached the national park, we first sought for boat service to bring us go Monkey beach. 

We first saw 2 stalls promoting tour and boat services, they charged us RM80 per way per boat, I was shocked with the price as it is really expensive and the journey actually is very short only.

Ferringhi Garden @ Batu Ferringhi, Penang

This day, I had a sudden happy mood and would love to treat my mum for a better pleasant meal without thinking much on prices. I knew a fancy place for western dining in Batu Ferringhi since last year when my brother mentioned it. I have waited long to go for a try, yet no chance until now. This day, we were a bit earlier for dinner just to view the different environment between day and night.

When we first stepped into the place, we were "woah!" and thought how "forestal" is this place. Ferringhi Garden has a spacious private car park behind the restaurant, which need to turn into a small road beside the shop row. Ferringhi Garden is well decorated with natural plants and we can see how diligent the owner manage this restaurant.

113炒粥 @ Fettes Park

那天回槟城，约了几位好久不见的好友出来聚聚、吃吃好料、看看电影、打打牙胶，充实又美好的一天就这样过了。午餐我们约在 Gurney Plaza 吃泰国餐，过后去看Expandables， 一部老人壮汉演的动作片，还好而已，就只是拿着枪一直射杀的戏。剧情不是很记得了，这就是我不喜欢上电影院看戏的原因，戏票不便宜，可是每次看完戏后我又会很快忘记剧情~ 而且有些电影院真的冷得我很不舒服，对单片又不怎么感兴趣的我近期真的越来越少上电影院了，除非真的有很好看很好看的电影，又或者真的无聊透顶才会光顾电影院。可能人越来越老了，喜欢的东西越来越不一样，以前我可是超爱去电影院的，现在的我宁可呆在舒服的家上网看电视更好。

从电影院出来，我们到Straits Quay晃晃，过后肚子也饿了，就到馨仪提议的炒粥店吃晚餐。地点位于 Tanjung Tokong 的 Fettes Park, Prima Tanjung building 对面，和驰名的大肥佬鸡饭和 James Foo 西餐店同排。

炒粥是这里的招牌，当然也有做煮炒生意。以上是炒粥的价格，我们点了RM25的

鸡场街(Jonker Street)美食

鸡场街（Jonker Street）是马六甲的重要地标之一，在那儿除了有许多好玩好看的玩意儿外，不外乎就是美食啦~ 鸡场街从早到晚都有不同的美食可以选择，我们这天就选择晚上来到鸡场街舞台后面的一个小贩聚集地来祭五脏庙~

其实我们当晚到达的时间并不迟，大概7点而已，天都还没暗，可是那里已经人山人海了~ 要找个桌子坐都难啊！还好Darling在一个卖水的档口后面找到桌子，只要叫杯水和点样食物就可以了。其实后来才知道叫水就可以，当我们一坐下时有位小朋友拿了一大堆餐单叫我们一定要点一样食物才可以坐这里，又说不可以点别档的烤鱼啦、咖喱面啦 etc. etc. ，差不多除了他们的食物就不可以点别位的食物了，诸多限制！餐单里是选择满多的啦，可是我们还是希望可以自己走去心水的档口选心水的食物嘛！过后就随便点个鸭肉猪肉饭，打发走那个小孩。过后看到别人坐下，卖水佬就和他们说叫水就行了，原来卖水佬和那小孩都没关系的！不过还好那个猪肉鸭肉饭味道还不错，以后可以再叫~ 

我的鸭肉豆干鲁猪肉饭 （RM5），如果加粒鲁蛋就Perfect啦~ 味道挺不错的，只是有点淡， 而且鸭肉的骨头多肉少咯，如果酱汁较浓和咸些会更美味~

Bon Odori Shah Alam 2012

An really overdue post since Bon Odori was held 2 months ago, and now I just have time to blog my outing there. "Bon Odori" simply means "Bon" dance, a Japanese traditional festival to honor the ancestor spirit. I had never been to Bon Odori before although always heard of it since my secondary school, main reason was no companion or mum just didn't allow me to go. This year, the event was held at Shah Alam Matsushita Stadium on 14 July 2012, and I and darling decided to go for our first time, and probably the last time. 

We reached the place at around 5pm just to find a good location for parking. We parked at TNB and walked for 5 minutes to reach the stadium. We thought we were early but indeed there was full with crowd already. 

We never knew Malaysia has many Japanese until we were here for the Bon Odori event

Journey to good health

Hanging out whole day to prepare things for my upcoming trip, unfortunately I am still unable to grab an underwater casing for my Sony digital compact camera, sigh. Although I managed to find it, the only one shop offers the only last set after few hours of searching, but the price is really far from what I expected and knew from web. With a little disappointment (how can such a thing so uncommon in capital city, but so common in Skudai Johor!?), we left Lowyat and Timesquare then headed to Midvalley for dinner and currency exchange.

Every weekend if we are in Midvalley, we will sure pay a visit to the exhibition if any. This week is The Heart Exhibition and Beauty exhibition. Beauty fair is nothing special but many stalls selling facial and hair products, and also the facial package. We saw Amber Chia there too but just too shy to go and get a photo with her . Finally bought myself a box of mask at 50% discount, happy~

Another hall was The Heart fair, healthy food products like oatmeal, milk and carotino oil are sold there. We also have our free health and nutrition screening there. After the screening, there are many professional personnel stand by there to explain the result to us. I am a little bit overweight and have higher cholesterol although still in normal range. My diet and workout plan seems like not really work well on me, but I still have to work harder to overcome this threshold .

Got myself a free booklet full with lots of useful health information and healthy recipe after the screening

The consultant advises me to take more veggie and fruits instead of meat and carbohydrate, but darling insisted to have Chilis as dinner. With really strong determination, I get myself a Quesadilla Explosion Salad (RM25.95) - Fajita-marinated chicken, corn relish, mixed cheeses, cilantro, diced tomato & crispy tortilla strips. Garnished with a ancho-ranch drizzle and cheese quesadilla wedges, served with citrus-balsamic dressing. Surprisingly this is really good, refreshing and fulfilling; lean chicken meat is not dry but tender and juicy, while the sweet and sour dressing really gives a kick to this dish. I tremendously love the fajitas that have cheese sandwiched in, and generous amount of cheese sprinkled over. 

Journey to keep fit and slim is harsh, especially to a meat and carbohydrate lover.

明阁香港点心

怡保出名点心众所周知，听妈妈讲以前槟城是没有卖点心的，要吃的话一定要来怡保。除了鼎鼎有名的富山点心，怡保人喜欢的有这间明阁点心。听说富山点心都是在做游客生意，而且扩建后点心素质不比从前，很多人都说点心都是凉的而且也不好吃。做了找吃功课后，我们当然是选择当地人喜欢的点心店啦~

明阁点心就在富山的对面，位于Jalan Leong Sin Nam，我们很幸运哦，到达时间差不多是早上九点半，还不是很多人~ 很快找到位置了~

怡保盐焗鸡

怡保拥有众多美食，我最爱的莫过于盐焗鸡~ 不管哪一档焗的，焗得过咸或过硬我都很爱~ 可以说是爱到就算难吃都吭得下那种爱恋（只要大致上有盐焗鸡的味道就行了）~

那天回槟城的半路上弯进怡保吃芽菜鸡和豆腐花后，当然不会忘记买盐焗鸡当伴手礼啦。之前上网查过，大家都说宴琼林的盐焗鸡是全怡保最出名最好吃的，上过不少报纸哦，也有博客说万里香也不错，所以回槟城时就买宴琼林，回KL时就试万里香的好了~

宴琼林盐焗鸡在Jalan Theatre，听讲如果遇到周末或大节日时很快就在下午卖完了
