Finally, we found the well hidden famous Penang Cendol. It is not exactly at Penang Road, but just across the road on a small lane before turning into Komtar called Lebuh Keng Kwee.

This stall is actually placed outside a small coffee shop by the name of Joo Hooi (ya, you can trace your GPS by the name of Joo Hooi Cafe too).

You either stand along that super narrow busy lane to eat your cendol or order it into the shop by paying extra 50sen to the shop owner (we did that to our 3rd bowl, its really that GOOD!)

The Asam Laksa inside this shop was quite good too. Besides, we also ordered one Fried Kuew Teow, Fried Rice and some fried Lobak from different stalls inside this shop. Edible but not very nice, I would say.

When you dine at places like this, well, don’t expect to see any custom floral arrangements on the table. Even eating can be quite hectic too, especially if you have young kids like me.

Still, this cendol is worth trying and we will definitely go back just for the cendol

On our way to North, we made a stop in Ipoh for brunch. Initially we wanted to go to Foh San for some Ipoh Dim Ssum, but unfortunately it was too packed. Patrons were even standing out at the main door, waiting. Since we had not had our breakfast, I decided not to wait but drove over to Lou Wong. But then it was only 10am, and Lou Wong wasn’t ready.

Hence we go next door to Onn Kee. Ipoh beansprout was not as fat as we expected but they were good. Even the steamed white chicken was very yummy too!

Char Siew was quite good too compare to many places, except that they are a bit hard. However my BIL can make better Char Siew, so this dish was nothing special to us.

After brunch, we continue our journey up to Penang, and continue our eating journey. Stay tune on where we went after that. After spending 5 days of eating spree, you can now imagine how much additional kilo I have gained and I hope the gatorade powder could help me burn some calories….

I think it would be good when we start to segregate our rubbish once the new policy starts next year. Our goverment is taking this long to start this new system because I think they need time to start implement better garbage processing by investing in the trash pump.

I hope we will have a more organized rubbish collection system and we will no longer have the leaking wet, smelly truck each time the rubbish truck pass by!

Dim Sum for adults

Cute little Dim Sum for kids

I have always wanted to try those dim sum in Hong Kong. We initially wanted to go to the famous dim sum outlet, Tim Ho Wan, but when was told that queue might take up to 2 hours, we drop the idea since we are having fussy kids with us. Hence, we tried the dim sum in Hong Kong, at Grand Century Plaza. Sister in law said their dim sum is good.

Well, cute and they look good,but it did not really suit our taste bud.

Perhaps I should find out more from my youtube downloader to check which is a better option besides this restaurant above our hotel.

Signature Mickey Waffle @ HKD 45

I remember having the same waffle when I visited Tokyo Disneyland many years back. My hosted sister insisted this waffle, saying that it is a must when we go to Disneyland.

I was very delighted when I see this again in Hong Kong Disneyland and decided to let the kids try it on. However it is sold along the Main Streeet USA and seating was rather limited. In fact, hubby was complaining about the  birds dropping everywhere on the seat.

It would be good if they sell this snack as well in other restaurants inside Disneyland, or better still with some nice performance or music from the ovation guitars.

Its really taste and my kids love it! Great that we try this after all!

Travelling without bringing any souvenir back is as good as almost not going to travel.

I like to purchase a goft for myself, be it big or small, whenever I travel.

I went to check out the jewels and bulova watches, but they are quite pricey. I am pretty easy going on clothes, so there was no reason to spend on it.

Not knowing what to buy over in Disneyland, I finally decided to get one of the bags. Priced only at HK$220, it is rather affordable, isn’t it? The Minnie prints is just so pretty and I love the way this bag look

Of all food that we had in our recent visit to Disneyland Hong Kong, I find that going western is the safest. We tried the Chinese rice with BBQ item but they just taste weird. In fact, none taste like real food.

I am glad I saw this at one of the booth, the Foot Long Sausage with Mushroom Sauce. Priced at HK$65, it is indeed a bit on the expensive side. But at least, this is really nice and I am going to share this with everyone I know who is going to HK Disneyland now. Do take note ya….if you bring laptop or supplies for office to Hong Kong.

I hardly put on any make up nowadays and I am so used without anything on my face. There was a few occasion where I need to apply make up and I can’t even tolerate the dryness of my lips with the lipstick on, not to mention those fake lashes sticking to my eyes. I hope they will invent some kind of eyelash growth product instead. I just hate fake lashes!

I know it is not very appropriate to talk about some other kind of cup here, LOL, but I just feel very uncomfortable these few days with the cup during my menses. My friend said I have very low pain tolerance. I must admit I am lousy at pain management and that explained why I need a lot of Anesthesiologist Jobs during my past surgeries.

Have been cooking quite some new recipes these days but I just have no mood to take any picture or post them up, sigh..bear with me ya..

When I am lost of what to cook, I’ll come up with something like this, simple and nice.

Although it looks awful and dark in picture and not a very healthy dish (especially with those fats that would melt in your mouth), all my kids love braised dishes like this! They can just finish their plate of rice with gravy and meat with the dish.

Ingredients

• Belly Pork cubes, cleaned (I usually use one slice)
• Dark Soy Sauce
• ABC Sweet Soy Sauce
• Light Soy Sauce
• Garlic bulbs (you can also mince or grate of you like)
• very little oil

Method

1. Saute garlic bulb with very little oil till brown
2. Put in belly pork cubes and saute for a while (you can also skip this step)
3. Add in water and all the sauce above (my grandma prefers adding some dark soy sauce to saute the belly at Step 2)
4. Braise meat till tender
5. Serve with a hot plate of rice

Easy right?You can also add hard boiled egg to this with the leftover sauce. In fact, this taste even better when you leave if and reheat it days after days (but mine usually finish at the 2nd round!)

Well, don’t blame me if you have to visit to the sports nutritionist austin from eating too much of those fats, LOL!
