Specially for the cousins and family members and those who simply lovesss old people.
My Cute Ah Ma.
Look at the last bite. XD
She's always cute when she's eating. She mastered the art of 'mulut senget' when she sees something she doesn't like, pretending to rub her nose and sniff sniff when she dislike certain smell and staring blankly into space when she's not enjoying the company. Cutest thing ever!!!!!!
The whole concept there was a bit like jungle with 'old doors' as ceiling, cocoon as chairs, and lots of branches and roots everywhere. It is so real that it's a bit creepy.

After placing our orders-two set meals, they serve us with two buns with three spreads. The two yellow ones on the side are sweet butter while the middle one is garlic butter spread. Yumness. The buns are fresh. We got two types of bun, one which is multi grain/wholemeal and another normal one. If you order just one set, they'll just give you the sweet butter. However, I think you can request for the garlic one if you want to give it a try.
The surrounding.
The soup of the day. I would not recommend you the soup as it has a very strong milky taste. Taste like baby's milk, probably because they put too much milk in it. Don't like it at all.
The salad. I like the salad though. The salad comes with a in house salad sauce cause it taste special. But yummy nevertheless. Besides, it's a healthier choice as it has lots of fibres.
Club Sandwich. Two thumbs up. I would love to go back to try this again because it's yummy. Very filling as there's four slices of bread. They stuff it with huge chicken breast, lots of vege and bacon. Two people can share this if you are not a big eater.
Onion rings. I don't know if it happened only the day we went or it's that bad. It is soggy, oily and totally NOT CRUNCHY AT ALL. Worst onion rings I've ever had. So I would suggest to them to either improve it or remove it from the menu. What a waste of money to order that.
Penne Chicken Pasta. This one is okay. It's rich with lots of cheese and cream. But I'm not a cream pasta person. I'm more to the Bolognese one so I couldn't appreciate this a lot but it was okay, we managed to finish this.
Dirty ol' Sink
Ingredients
1. Pasta
2. One whole tomato
3. Mixed vege / carrots / whatever you like.
4. Thousand Island sauce
5. Quarter slice cheese that you've been trying to finish the whole week.
6. Heh bi (Udang kering/dried shrimp). DON'T ASK WHY, I DON'T KNOW.
So I guess the one thing that will probably raise your eye brows is you WHAT THE *TOOT* is the heh bi doing there? Well, I innocently thought it is a type of seafood (shrimp what?) hence has protein in it. Then I thought it'll be plainly veges and carbs and I need protein so I boiled it as well.
Guess what? Don't put heh bi. Just eat it without the so-called protein. Doesn't make a different. Without the 'protein', it would have tasted fantabulous. But I ate it all. And please, just put in sausages if you want to. Even if you had some for breakfast. JUST DON'T PUT DRIED SHRIMP.
ps: I am not going to be a good mom. =(

On the side note, grandma cooked this two by request yesterday. Yumness.
Sambal Ikan. My favourite. It has been quite some time since she last cook this. But I love the spicy and sour taste. The gravy goes best with rice.
Last night or more specifically this morning,
It's such a bliss,
Top L-R: The ever mafan to cook jiu hoo char, tau eu pork.
My Almighty Ah Ma. =))
Such nice weather to sleep in.
I guess it's really time to speak up. I've always thought Malaysian students as compared to international ones are more reserved and we seldom contribute ideas in class. In my opinion, less talk, less scoldings. So I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself most of the time.Since DiGi encouraged me to speak my mind, I shall speak!!!!
Last year, during Pao's birthday, we went to Pangkor Island. The beaches was MUCH cleaner than the ones we have in Penang although really, it's not exactly the cleanest beach I've seen. Then it struck me that we are exploiting God's creation and also our treasure.
Because Malaysia is a hot country, I'm sure many tourist would love to come and be able to enjoy the beaches here but with so many rubbish, we might have chased away potential tourist. It also showed how uncivilised we are to throw bottles, oranges *15 meh*, whatever plastic into the seas or on the beaches instead of the dustbin.
Get it right my friends, things like crabs, fishes, corals, belongs to the sea, rubbish belongs to the dustbin!!!
Pao : So this is what you do all the time?
Pao : This game not good la, teaches kids to steal.
Although I am big enough to know it's not right to steal in a real life situation, this game actually got me really thinking and feeling like a thief. I mean it's fun to get lots of coins and steal from people's crops and get people scolding you in their customized message. I mean if I were to plant my own crops and only sell my own crops, it'll take a much longer time to get to my first 100k.
Besides, if I don't steal from people, people will steal my crops. Then after I stole from people, I have to go on else people will continue stealing mine. Then I rugi la. Although this might not be how a thief feels like but really, that feeling suck. Cause I'll be so worried of my crops being stolen.
And imagine, the only reason I go around clearing people's weeds like I really care (initially I did it out of love before I found out I can earn exp points and coins.) is because I'll get rewarded. What kind of nonsense is this? That's it, I'm leaving the game. I won't have time for it when I'm back in uni anyway.
It was the night before I'll leave for KL and the last time I see Swee Win for this holiday. Dressed up and left home at about 9.30p.m.
Ordered cheese naan only to be greeted with shiny layer of oil. Wasted lots of tissue papers, wiping the oil off the naan. What is this man. After eating our so-called supper, they suggested that we go to Gasoline at Time Square. I've never been there. I've been to Gasolines in KL but never the one in Penang so we said YES!
Win was a little late so we took pictures while walking to Gasoline.
Then Win is not there yet so we took more camwhore pictures in the 'cave'. We were supposed to be cavewoman.
Then Win came. With her mum.
If you don't know how Win calls someone, refer to above picture. Swee Win is hitting her mum (hard) to ask her what she wants to order.
Then we took a IC photo. T__T Sit so straight. Bag used to hide tummy.
While waiting for the food, we took even more photos. Last photo on the left is to show that I got long fingers while Yi Lin doesn't. =)) And us pointing at a unsuspecting bat.
Food comes and TARZAN IS THE BEST DRINK EVER!!!! Chocolate with banana. Bestest. Order Tarzan ok? You don't have to be Jane.
Then again, mandatory pictures with food. Don't ask me why lok, it's like a tradition. We always pose with food. Had a great night with these lovelies and got home slightly after 1am. Gosh, gonna miss everyone when everyone is no longer in Penang. =((

Beautiful isn't it? You can see the lights on the mainland.
On normal days when haze is not a problem.
You can see the mountains, a little of the mainland's building.
On a day where haze is terrible (today)
No mountains, let alone the buildings on the mainland. I could barely see the sea.
Zoom in, look at the buildings on the mainland. Very vague right? All covered by the haze.
It rained a while just now but it's not clearing up the sky. Guess we'll have to drink lotsa water to prevent getting sick. =))
They really uses charcoal to toast the bread. The top part they boil water for coffee and other beverages while the bottom part they toast the bread. There's three types of bread, normal, coffee and chocolate. On our trip, the coffee one finished. So we had two normals and one chocolate.
Yums, and three sets of eggs. Win had a packet of nasi lemak as well. Her favourite food in the world.
The two girls enjoying their food. No picture of me eating because I was the cameragirl. I think the bread was alright. I heard their coffee is good. I love the company with me that day though.
We are busy women. All busy with handphones.
Mandatory shots with the drinks. Don't ask me why.
One more to end this post. Sigh, she's back in Sabah already. Will only see her in Nov/Dec.
