肥李海鲜餐馆 @ Melaka Town

肥李海鲜餐馆是一间我们在马六甲会时常光顾的煮炒店。每次光顾，都是为了它家的大螃蟹而来的。之前也曾经Blog过它了，这次老爸老妈特地南下吉隆坡来参加他们歌唱老师的结婚晚宴，由于他们也好久没去马六甲了，我就带他们来个马六甲美食旅，到处吃吃喝喝。

这次的马六甲之旅他们都不愿去走一些旅游胜地，只志在吃些好料，所以我们从早吃到晚，肚子没有一份钟挨过饿，肚皮快撑胀死了。早上带他们去吃会吃上瘾的辣死你妈后，就去Darling 家坐坐，然后就 Check in Hotel 顺便冲凉，接着就去牛顿饮食中心吃有猪油渣的极品Popiah，顺便逛逛 Dataran Pahlawan，晚餐就带他们来品尝一下比较不一样风味的螃蟹。这次他们和Durian Chendol无缘分，是他们的可惜，下一次再来马六甲时都不懂是几时的事咯！

我们来肥李只为了螃蟹，过后还要去吃Satay Celup！

Mad on You!

McDonald's sometimes really freaking me out. For its breakfast day, I was unable and unwilling to go and queue for a free McMuffin, due to no 24 hours McDonald outlet on my way to school, and I really feel reluctant to purposely drive and queue for a couple of hours just for a RM4.50 McMuffin (Should be lesser value since no coffee is included). However I am still hoping to get a free one, very ambivalent of me right!? So I nagged on my darling to find the printed coupon on newspaper in order to get one free McMuffin without queuing (Sometimes I also beh tahan with myself, want something free but just don't want pay out any effort). At last, he couldn't find because the newspaper boy in his office has collected back the old newspaper, and thus promise to buy me one today. 

So today, we woke at 7.30am and purposely drove to Equine park just to enjoy our lovely breakfast together, but the stupid McDonald told us muffin is finish! What the hell you open 24 hours to sell breakfast and you tell me muffin is finish?? I am in sick but still wake up early just for it, and you tell me finish and call me buy fillet-o-fish or pancake!? I don't eat sweet thing when I am hungry and I can buy fillet-o-fish during McValue time but not at this hour with extra price okay! I am here only for the muffin and long waited coffee. With extremely disappointed mood, we left McDonald at Equine park and jam for around half hour to get back home with empty hand. 

Darling,

In the car, I just keep blaming and show temper to you. Scolding you, McDonald, every car, the motorist scratched my side mirror, the police control the traffic and even the area that jammed. Darling, really sorry to be mad on you; and thanks for being patient on me without refuting me back. I have no idea why recently I always being hot tempered and kept on finding things to argue with you. During my way to school, I was thinking to say sorry to you and buy you a breakfast when passing through the SS McDonald outlet (opened at 10am), but ended up I didn't do all this because I doubt the outlet is opened at 9.10am although light is on inside. I was start day-dreaming that you already bought me a set of breakfast at home, as my 3 years understanding on you. And this becomes reality when I reached home, see how I understand you so much! Thanks for the breakfast, it is not just a breakfast, it is your caring! 

I am so glad to have you in my life, so tolerant to me! Although I expected you will secretly buy me a breakfast but I still feel touched when see all this! But hold on, why everything is mine? My friend just thought I eat 2 sets and so shock with it! I only have your coffee!! 

I have no idea why I suddenly fall in love with coffee, insanely. I dislike McDonald's coffee during undergraduate time, it was so bitter and taste awfully. And I only drink 3-in-1 Nescafe during my exam period! But now I like it so much, since I had the black coffee pack from Jakarta, so pure and aromatic. Now I start dislike the 3-in-1 coffee that taste so sweet and creamy and lack of coffee essence. Are people grow older and maturer, they just can savor the sweetness and dainty behind bitterness? I love bitter gourd and coffee so much nowadays, which I hate the most during my childhood. 

*Hope Coffee Can Cure My Flu*

王帝鸭 DucKing @ PJ Jaya One

有天我师奶毛病又犯，手握着一张餐厅优惠券，吵Darling带我去PJ Jaya One光顾王帝鸭餐厅（DucKing）。特地驾车去那么远吃一顿饭，不疯狂，因为以前我更曾为了吃Satay Celup而特地驾车去马六甲，吃完又返回吉隆坡。 虽然为了那滴点折扣浪费车油好像很不划算，不过还好王帝鸭的食物的确不错，改天还会再来。

我的优惠券是可以用RM50.80 (nett) 来享用“北京鸭二度”（原价RM66.80）。所谓的北京鸭二度就是可以一只北京鸭两种吃法，除了可以享用面皮包北京鸭皮外，还有宫保式炒鸭肉。虽然只有我们两人，但是食物实在太好吃了，我们两人仍然可以吃完，还另外点了猪油捞饭来搭配宫保鸭肉。

 

位于PJ Jaya One的王帝鸭，餐厅装潢让我以为食物满贵的，但其实属于中等消费

Nyok Lan Kajang Satay, Restoran Malaysia

Whenever people talk about Kajang Satay, my first reaction will always be: "Huh? I don't think it is good, do you?" and quite reluctant to drive that far for a so-so satay which can also be found near my house hawker center. Previously I always visit Sate Kajang Haji Samuri because it is popular, really big restaurant, and we thought it is the best satay shop in Kajang. However, every visit made me quite disappointed because the satay is dry and lean. But one thing make them outstanding is they offer many varieties of satay meat including rabbit meat!! I think this shop is just simply overrated and due to bulk production, the satay quality drops. My perception on Kajang Satay finally changed when I visited a shop sell really good Kajang Satay recently.  

During my 2nd year time, one of my coursemate from Kajang brought us to a corner lot satay shop and told us that Haji Samuri is just for tourist, they local people don't visit there but here. I only remembered I visited once, and then completely forget about everything. So every time when darling want Kajang Satay so much, we only drive to Haji Samuri. Until last Sunday, we watched a TV programme interviewed that shop and after searching over few blogs, we finally knew the shop called Restoran Malaysia, Nyok Lan Kajang Satay; and spontaneously drove to Kajang just for it.

This shop is located at Jalan Semenyih, Bangi. GPS: N 2.99285 E101.78960

Homemade Brownies 布朗尼蛋糕

我们家附近的 The Mines 最近有个书展，叫书香，是个很大型的中文书展览。对于它，我并不陌生，因为以前就曾在这书展做过Part Time两次。这次去书展逛逛看到那些做Part Time的大学生，真的很怀念，但又庆幸自己不需要再做这种苦工作了，站足12个小时，还蛮辛苦的。

那天，Darling心血来潮带我去The Mines吃Nandos，过后就顺便去逛逛书展，学生可以免入门费（RM2.50）。在里面逛了一下，也败了一本食谱回来，过后才想起阿吉哥好像答应会再给我们大专生RM200购书礼券，所以我就不再败其他书啦，反正书展里的书也没有很便宜，等免费的更好。

这次买了一本做西餐的食谱，回家翻翻时看到有一个做Brownies布朗尼蛋糕的食谱，刚好我正烦恼该如何用掉我的可可粉！仔细读了食谱，不是很难，隔天就去买材料，动手做我人生第一个需要烤的蛋糕！之前我很怕挑战要烤的蛋糕，总觉得很难似的，再加上之前弄了个蒸鸡蛋糕，严重失败了，蛋糕很硬，好像马来Kuih这样，超难吃的，过后才知道原来面粉是不可以用电动搅拌器打的，我是打过头了所以蛋糕不会发，而且鸡蛋也没有打得发硬~ 虽然弄第二次时成功了，但是第一次的阴影严重打击我的自信心，害我迟迟不敢动手再尝试。幸好这次的布朗尼成功了，再次增加我做蛋糕的信心，不然的话我应该从此不肯再做蛋糕了，浪费钱买原料换来的是失落感！

我的布朗尼蛋糕食谱就是源自于这本食谱，里面有好多好吃的西餐哦，做法都满简单的

做布朗尼蛋糕所需的材料

我的秤被收进大纸箱了，准备搬到新的公寓去，所以惟有到Daiso买个便宜的秤，别看它这样小小的，还蛮好用的！

首先把过筛的面粉、可可粉和糖搅拌均匀

好香的可可粉！之前买了它只用过一点点撒在Tiramisu Cake上面，过后就英雄无用武之地啦，泡来喝又太苦太浓了，幸好给我发现了这Brownies食谱！

加入鸡蛋和牛奶融合

还有煮溶的牛油

就是Brownies酱啦，很浓稠哦，比以前我做过的鸡蛋糕浓上两倍，可能是鸡蛋没有打发的关系~ 做这Brownies鸡蛋和牛奶只是搅拌均匀就可以了，不用打发

用180度烤了30分钟，布朗尼蛋糕终于出炉了，烤着的当儿厨房一直飘逸着浓浓的巧克力味，超香的！

布朗尼蛋糕没有像以前的鸡蛋糕发得高高的，可是口感却满松软的！

这布朗尼蛋糕好好吃，表皮脆脆的，下面却是非常松软的蛋糕，每一口都是满满的幸福巧克力味，而且不会太甜，Darling都说我可以拿去外面买了，嘻嘻！

过分的Darling也是之前吃了我的失败蒸鸡蛋糕有了阴影，不信任我的布朗尼，本来不捧场的他，给他试了一口后就叫我切一大块给他！如果可以搭配一球香草雪糕会更棒呢~虽然好吃，但不可多吃，因为会热气啊~

感想：成功的感觉真的很棒~ 太高兴了哇哈哈！要烤布朗尼，建议不要用太窄的模，因为用太窄的模弄出来的布朗尼会太厚，口感就没那么好了~ 因为吃布朗尼就是要脆脆的表皮搭配松软的蛋糕下层才是最好的口感啊，太厚的话脆脆的表皮就变少了~ 下次再烤的时候要加点杏仁片或核桃里，来增加口感~

Ramen Santouka 火头山拉面 @ Pavillion, KL

有天 Darling 到位于KL 的 UTM Campus干点事。所以我们晚餐则在附近的商场解决。我们是不常去KL区的，除非有特别事情做或者特定日子才会去。虽然Midvalley或其他PJ的大型购物广场离我们家也不算近，不过不知怎的却会常去，而且也不认为很远这样。总之我们就是认为KL很远就是了，可能有经过一条Smart Tunnel，又或者KL的路又窄又多车又多人吧，每次都很塞车，所以才会认为特别远吧，心理作祟。其实查查Google Map，Midvalley 和 Pavillion 距离我们家都是差不多，只不过一个不用给 Toll 钱，另外一个则需要。

言归正题，话说我们搞定正事后，就去 Pavillion 用晚餐啦，其实会去那边用晚餐也是我的师奶性格作祟，买了一本折扣券的书，里面有好多优惠券都可以用在 Pavillion 的餐厅里，难得都来到附近了，就去用掉一些餐券吧，不知怎的，我很喜欢用优惠券的感觉，左算右算占占便宜最让我开心了，算是一种嗜好吧！

火头山拉面，全球已有好多分行！可是马来西亚暂时只有一间而已，就在Pavillion 的Tokyo Street 里头！如果不是 Darling 的表弟猛赞这家拉面店，我们可能不会光顾，因为价钱不菲（其实过后想想，在 KL 这样的价钱是算Ok的，只不过不好面食的我会宁愿花同样的钱在别的食物上咯，比如说西餐~）

Shopping Spree at UNIQLO Sunway Pyramid

Today Uniqlo has another outlet open at Sunway Pyramid, knowing that they will give out free newly designed tote bag for the first 500 customers from the advertisement heard via radio, I and darling waked up early just to join in the crowd and have a big spend inside. We waked at 8.30am and reached the shop sharply at 10am, this was a big wrong as we should actually reach there by 9am, since in front of us already has more than 500 customers. But the tote bag is just another recycling bag with printed Uniqlo brands, so we were not upset at all for not able to grab the bag, we were more upset for the time spent in queue line as a result of getting late. 

The queue has extended to the Popular bookstore which is about 4-5 shops away with many snake turns in between. Luckily the staff could manage the queue line nicely and we at least knew where to start queue up (A staff will hold a plate written "Queue ends here" and following the end person of line), the queue actually move quite fast in fact. Spending around 1.5 hours in the line and finally manage to get into the shop. I never bought any Uniqlo clothing although stepped into their outlet at Midvalley quite a few times. The price was averagely higher but still affordable, but I was still hoping to buy during sales time. So, today is the day, as they are celebrating new outlet opening, some selected items will have crazy cut down in price in 4 days time.  Follow their fans page for more news.

So happening in Uniqlo, shops nearby (Baleno & Giordano) try to make discount up to 50% storewide but still lose to it! Hate some inconsiderate aunties and uncles try to cut queue in between (I don't know about youngsters but I saw three old folks doing this)! So old already still don't have brain to think! You don't like queuing and so do us, please be fair okay! I successfully reject an old woman for cutting queue in front of me, but why others don't reject? If you let them cut in, you should actually go to the end of line and start the queue all over again so that he/she replace your position, as this is not just your own problem, it is totally unfair to other people behind! You make them delay a step forward okay!

Skytrex Adventure

I love outdoor activities very much, especially those adventurous and sweating one, I just don't wanna miss one. The feeling of overwhelmed by the Mother Nature is just simply great, especially in greenery earth. Youngsters should not wait a minute to delay things they love to do, so this day we dated Jonathan's couple to come along for the Skytrex Adventure to boost our adrenalin rush and challenge my serious height phobia. I guess my height phobia is cured after this activity as I don't feel scare already when riding on Ferris wheel in Genting Highland afterwards. 

The Skytrex Adventure is located at the other side of Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam botanical garden. I visited the botanical garden once just for sight seeing and have never been to visit the skytrex park. Other than Skytrex, there are a lot more things to see such as 4 seasons house and other mini gardens. Actually I quite like this botanical garden because it is clean, big and beautiful. Free shuttle bus is available to travel you to different mini gardens, another option is renting a bicycle.

Halloween Horror Spirits @ Genting Highlands

As an authentic and traditional Chinese, I had never celebrated Halloween before and never knew how fun can Halloween bring to me, until this year Genting organized a Halloween party at their outdoor theme park, I just knew Halloween can be so crazily fun and I am totally in love with it!

I am quite timid and never ever dare to step into cinema for horror movie again after my first experience on Juon, I thought I will be frightened and could not sleep after joining this event, but fact turned out in opposite way, I just can't help myself enjoy more and had so much fun instead of scariness!

This event only held 4 days, which were 19, 20, 26, 27 of October from 8pm to 11pm, only for 13 years old and above. The whole theme park was decorated to spooky one, and 5 major zones were mapped out which are: Horror circus, Bridge of helplessness, Hospital hallway spirits, Horror movie night and Spirits free zone. Last Saturday, we were here for horror!

Got up to Genting Highlands straight after our skytrex adventure, although tired and exhausted but we were just so excited to join in the party! Suddenly a song flash into my mind: "Tonight~ We are young~"!

Batu Caves

After our Korean lunch at Ampang Putra Residensi, we moved to Gombak district for a half day visit at Batu Caves. I waited long to go there as the spectacular golden statue always attract me whenever I am back from Genting Highlands. Finally this day darling agreed to bring me go since it is located not far from Ampang.

Just like any other temple or kuil, which surrounding has a lot of stalls selling flowers and altarage
