Birthday Bash

Recently, we've celebrated kak Juwi's birthday!! Happy belated birthday Kak Juwi. We went out for makan-makan at Secret Recipe in Cyberjaya. (where else? It's lunchtime!) Here are some photos for the day!

Sometimes, we took things for granted. Didn't realize what we have around us might be the best that works for us now. Best place to work, best collagues, best environment. Compare it to my previous workplace, i know i should be really gratefull for all the stuff that He blessed me with. Thanks

Manhattan Fish Market

As i said before, Friday lunch break is the best day for you to go around and experience a new restaurant or cafe with your buddies. Hihihih. Where did we go this time?As per title, Manhattan Fish Market in Alamanda, Putrajaya.

Simple deco, very attentive staff and cozy environment makes the restaurant slightly different from others. What do u expect? It's franchisee, of course it looks the same as other MFM around Malaysia. Dunno what i'm mumbling about.

We had Dori fish for lunch, at first it taste very nice, after finished the first fillet, i don't think i can finish the second fillet. i think it's because it's deep fry, the oil tends to make you feel noxious. not really good eh. Okay lah, after settling our bill, all of us got fridge magnet. hihihi. something good for me!

Penang House

After all the meals and trips we took to Penang House in Street Mall, i don't think i've ever mentioned it in my blog. i wonder why. they have quite nice food at very reasonable price there. still i didn't think of putting it up on this blog.

One of small things that makes me happy is having a good meal with good company. Hahaha, u know who u r! Penang House is just at Street Mall, to those who still doesn't know where Street Mall is, u can google it here

Okay lah! Penang House specialties are meals from Penang, except Nasi Kandar, others are serve here. Rojak Buah, Char Koey Teow, Fish Head Curry, and etc etc. Lots to choose from. The one that we had the other day were Cantonese Gravy Beef Koey Teow, Rojak Buah, Beef Fried Rice, Chicken Paprika with white rice, Char Koey Teow.. can't remember what else we had that day. Of course you can't compare the food in Penang House with the one that we had in Penang itself. It's totally different. I think in Penang, they might have their own secret recipe that makes it very special and unique. Even if u want to open a cafe or restaurant with Penang's foods, u have to go to Penang and study it, master it before you can open your own Penang Style Restaurant/Food.

Hope you guys would enjoy this. Nothing much to say coz the food is just average. not as good as Penang. HUhuhuh.. I miss penang badly now. I'm preparing something better for you. so check out my blog ye!

Laksa Janggus

Sure it's fun to drive around and try new stuff, new food and new environment. sounds like i'm off to somewhere not in malaysia. hihih. i'm went back to penang last weekend and some how manage to squeeze in a lil trip to have laksa janggus with my bff, awe.

we went out for wolverine, tickets sold out and there's only couple of seats left in the front row. frustated, we tried to check other movies; it's just the same. i think people are using labour day as relaxing day or movie day like what we r doing now. we bought the front row seats. lucky enough the seats tilt back a bit so u won't cramp your neck while watching 2 hours of Hugh Jackman (wolverine), Danny Henney (zero) and Taylor Kitchs (gambit). Hehehe.. googled them after the movie.

so, after having so much of them, (their images planted in my head up until now) awe and i went off to balik pulau, even though she's staying in penang, she haven't tried laksa janggus yet. what's so special about laksa janggus?

honestly speaking, i'm not a huge fan of laksa. i've tried few laksa penang before. a friend of mine, shara is a big sucker for laksa. she can have it everyday. there are few places i went to and tried the laksa, like kuala kangsar laksa (sucks!), laksa shack (even worse! i don't think they should be allow to operate!).

laksa janggus serves penang style laksa. for those who doesn't know, there are different kind of laksa in malaysia, laksa penang, laksa kedah, laksa kelantan, laksa johor, laksa singapura. Laksa Janggus offers laksa penang, small bowl for RM1.20 and regular bowl for RM2.oo and u can't even finish the regular bowl. it's a lot. there's other meal as well, kuey teow soup, mee hoon soup and some cucur udang, pisang goreng and of course rojak! u have to q up to get your laksa and drinks. oh ya! apart from laksa, u should try ABC. air batu campur or in penang they are known as ais kacang.

don't be confused ya, laksa janggus (janggus is cashewnut) doesn't has cashewnut serves with any meals. it's just happened that the place is located under cashewnut's tree. lovely place. lovely village environment.

how to get there? well, basically u have to get to penang first, then just follow a signboard to Balik Pulau, u can take Relau or Genting to get to Balik Pulau. Once u r in Balik Pulau, search for Pulau Bentong or Kampung Perlis, once u've turn in, turn left on the first junction, drive on till u see a pink mosque/masjid, turn right on it just drive straight, u can see there's lots of cars parked alongside of the road. laksa janggus would be on your right. it's open everyday except wednesday, 2pm till 7.30pm.

have fun!
