Pasar Malam Miri

There would a quite a few logs for this one as I've took 500 pics of it... on the very same day.. anyways... I wanted to blog bout the recent elections but i wouldn't want the ISA to be up my ass.. so .. im just going to continue on regarding my trips... :P

well, heading deeper, Here is another attraction... how to make "Roti Canai"... kinda like a Indian pizza thingy.. anyways.. its done by a malay here and it ain't that bad... i've tasted a few by malay... and most of them suck.. especially in sibu... but this malay guy here is really good at what he is doing.... so all of u should try his Roti Canai.. or the "murtabak"..

I didn't managed to take the part on how he created the dough.. and the fliping actions.. its very interesting... if you ever fly down to miri.... don't miss it...

Adding an egg into the flattened dough, the dish is now called Roti Telur (Egg).. another skill to be marvelled at.. twisted egg pour...

you have to make the roti canai with your bare hands... the dish would not taste the same if other wise.. make sure their hands are clean though.. :L

then you fold it with the egg inside... or any other ingredient.. such as Roti Pisang is another good choice.... Banana...

The last thing you need to see to know whether your roti is delicious is how they slap them. hot roti with bare hands... if they are professional.. they wouldn't have a problem at all with the heat.

I think this is his wife.. never asked.. she usually does the packaging and cashier work...

Usually situated to the left of the Store above.. well, not exactly beside, you will come across a "Keropok Lekor" stall. The keropok is made of fish meat, ground to paste and mised with sago. the Keropok is best with its special chili dip. I've loved the Keropok lekor since I was introduced to it by my ex 5 years ago.

This is one of the stall.. usually managed by a lady. Previously, when they 1st started, I had trouble eating them because they don't provide you with a stick to pick them up from within the plastic. I had to purchase a sausage on a stick just to use the stick. Now they got smarter.. just ask for it when they hand it over to you.

Usually, I would wait till the new ones are out of the frying wok. they are much more crispy and i always enjoyed hot warm food..

Here is another delicacy... the "Kacang Puteh" and "Steam whole corn". but you should try the grilled whole corn.. they usually taste a lot better with butter spread. Unhealthy of course compared to the ones which is steamed.

Jia Yu CNY Special (Part IV)

Took some shots with my K800i inside the hall... took a rest and walk bout genting.. but when i heard some noise.. i went into the "arena of stars" and saw the rehearsal.. so y not? take a video as a memory... but its a very lousy quality video.. well... better than none rite?

well, talk bout restaurant.. the "Old Town" in genting highland taste quite all right. I tried their "Nasi Lemak Special" and the "Rendang".. both of these dish taste good. but not the coffee though. mayb i've been drinking tons of coffee lately (Im a beginner in this coffee drinking line) and i can't differenciate good coffee or bad coffee.. but the coffee is not too bad.. just can't feel the kick out of it. :P

after missing out on our lunch cause me and my other colleague went to Genting hotel to settle the accommodations and the F&B guys kinda forgotten all bout us.. anyways, he told us it was because they haven't took our orders. so the gal who was in charge of the finances pass us RM50 to go and have lunch.. and our budget per person was only RM12 - 16. so we head off towards the opposite building where all the food is and settle ourselves at the old town cafe. I wanted to sit inside but my friend wanted to try eating out in the cold.. so we got the table outside the building and ordered. The waiter was not at all friendly and polite. I wasn't so happy on that.. anyways, hunger strikes.. who cares bout the service... but i did.... sadly... anyways... so the food came and the waiter just chuck our food on the table... i was pissed but the portion was quite handsome and looks good... so i forgive him... and feasted on the food with my friend.

it was a feeling lunch at 3pm and the food and drink came to aprox. RM30.. so we r still in our budget... lol...

Sitting outsite in the cold to have our lunch. Luv the interior design of the place though. lots of wood used.

It ain't that cold actually. I wore a beanie cause i din wanna style my hair. I've got 2 beanies, 1 buff headwear and 2 bandana.

New Year 08 (Part II)

Most of what we did during our trip up to genting was describe in the (Part I) log for new year so I'm just going to keep this a short one with tons of pictures. Well, one of our passenger were extremely tired due to her trip to Thailand. She just got down the plane and came down with us to watch AVP2 and followed us all the way up hill.. so while we stop to rest somewhere along the hill, she took a nap at the back seat.

Mei Ling Sleeping so soundly. wonder did she woke up after my flash went off? I just walk off after I snap. lol

Right after that, my ol' friend Heman decide to take a nap too after Ling woke up. well, after a few tryout snaps, he was more aware of the surrounding..


Well, if u notice this two pictures, I took it in a row. Try guessing what he is trying to say.. (Hints .. Oh..... F***)

____________________________________________________________________

After a long wait, we decided that the traffic had gotten better and so we went on our journey to the top again. We parked our car in front of a towing sign which the driver thinks it wont be a problem since its a public holiday and there were numerous cars parked illegally. We went into the cafeteria and they had their share of RM6 per nasi lemak (coconut milk rice) and I had to freeze to death. There I stood next to the hot steaming pot of "Herbal Tea Egg" to keep warm but the owner came out and told me that she will charge me RM10 per hour of steam.. so I told him its too kind of him to offer such cheap service and I went to the loo. Not too long later, Kelvin wanted to buy some egg. so I stood next to it again and the owner came and jokingly rephrase the offer and I told her that since my friend is buying, Im entitled to get free steams. she chuckled.

Not all was well. We were so busy enjoying ourselves that we didn't realized that the car was towed. anyways, we managed to get our car at the price of RM100 for the towing services. They took us to our car which was quite a distance away but the driver was kinda friendly and is overly generous in sharing his experiences there. mostly obscene activities at the parking lot. hence, we got our car and decided not to put the RM100 to waste and so we went back to the hotel area to snaps some shots.

This shot was taken in the open just at the entrance of coffee bean.. hmmm.. hot coffee..

Well, If you notice my 1st log on 08 New Year, You would know how this place looked like. and not only that, there is something which you might just wanna notice... me.. look at what I'm wearing in the Genting's cold weather :P

My obsession to bring out the inner child. Well, I never used to like this sorta things. But I guess once you get older, you kinda wanna find the little boy inside which is always joyful and happy. Looked like I was trying to wreak the horse than enjoying the ride..

This is the last picture in my camera for the day and it turn out to be a good one. I had Jen snap it for me, well, after I make the necessary alterations to the settings. All she needs to do is snap. We kinda took 20 pics due to her shacky hands. lol.
