Crab porridge

Located in Seberang Prai, off shore of Penang, passed JAWI Toll (going towards KL/IPOH highway) and you arrived to a small restaurant after two traffic lights. Where???? Ok...let me update you later ! Or just call my number!

Direction: Get off at JAWI toll, make a left turn at FIRST traffic lights, go straight and you will come to the SECOND traffic lights. Keep right to drive into the Flyover and make LEFT turn (semi-circle) and come to a SHELL petrol station. JUST after the station, turn left and drive on until you will see the restaurant on your left side (IN CHINESE).

1. Startup - With some steamed Octupos tentacles - soft and succelent and it is not so chewy. Served with mashed peanut and chilli sauce!!!

2. Then, a TOM YAM dish with some instant noodle and prawn soup.

3. Next, came the tender and sweet FISH porridge. Some kind of fish.

4. The Main Course - The Crab and Praying Mantis prawn cooked and simmered in the pre-cooked seafood flavour porridge (Teo Chew style). Served in a big bowl. (Looks like a flower pot to me, kekeke)

6. Back to Penang with a delighted meal and ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Good meal!!!

7. Damage Done: RM 12-15.00 (14 ppl shared)

While you are in Cameron Highlands, don't forget to enjoy a steamboat banquet at this restaurant.
It serves reasonable food of highlands vegetables, some seafood such as prawns, noodles and some meat.
The pricing is a little expensive but you are eating at about 2000 metere high above sea level. Nice strawberry farm scenery while you dine at the balcony.

Building: Perak Toong Onn Woi Koon
Name of Eating Outlet: Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Sri Maju
Direction: Opposite a car park space (formerly known as the Round Market, selling pamelo fruit)

Fancy some beef meat balls and beef soup noodle? Or do you prefer some other tofu meat ball, fish ball, pork meat ball, fried fish cake ...etc.?
The meat balls are served with the a wide range of noodle of your choice. You can choose Hakka (tangible type) noodle, Curry (thick and a little oily) noodle, Bee Hoon (vermicelli) noodle and Hor Fun (flat type) noodle.

Pricing: RM 27.00 to RM 33.00 for three bowls of mixed meat balls, two beef noodle soup, two Hakka noodle, one curry noodle and seven variety drinks.

Do you like to eat chicken's meat? What flavour do you like? Have you ever tried the "Yim Kook Kei" @ Ayam Garam @ Oven Whole Baked Salted Chicken??

This piece of delicacy can be found at Restoran Kheng Lim (Kheng Lim Restaurant) at Gunung Rapat, Ipoh, Perak.

Well, the whole chicken looks strange to some, but I am sure it is worth the effort to taste it.

Enjoy folks!!

If you going down to Batu Gajah (Kellie's Castle and waterfalls), don't forget to drop by to Tanjung Tualang for a good meal of fresh water prawn and crabs. There are many restaurants who can serve you this delicious but we chose Sin Mee Fong restaurant (located by side of a junction, near the market).

We ordered 5 dishes food for the price of RM106.00. I don't know if it is cheap, but it tasted good. The dishes were;

1. Freshwater crabs cooked in spicy hot flavour
2. Medium sized prawns cooked in dried salt with ginger flavour
3. Choi Tou - small sized pak choy (vegetable)
4. Yee Mein - noodle stiry fry with choy sum (vegetable)
5. Bean Curd - a type of deep fried tofu served with black soaked ginger Pei Tan (a type of egg)

Don't forget to try the Wan Tau Long, a type of Jelly Drink served with chilled mashed ice and lime juice. I nearly forgot about this drink which used to be quite popular at hawker's court. I wondered if they are serving?

Has anyone heard of Olympus Four-Third (4/3) system camera?

Well, this is the latest Olympus 8 Megapixel Digital SLR camera. The Four Thirds System is not based on existing standards for 35 mm film SLR camera system lenses, but uses a new common standard for the flexibility of changing lens between different camera brands.

The Four Thirds System uses a 4/3-type CCD or other image sensor (possible CMOS), that maximise image sensor performance and ensure outstanding image quality. The Four Thirds type sensor is TWICE the size of the two thirds (2/3) type sensor, which is commonly used in many digital cameras. Simply put it, the 4/3 image sensor size is almost the same as the 35 mm film rolls.

The Four Thirds system provides the optimal balance between;

1. image quality (capturing more light "directly" = ensuring sharp details and colours = higher image quality)
2. system compactness (smaller and compact design for SLR)
3. and flexibility (interchangeable lens and body of different camera brands).

After the Ipoh Half-Marathon, my Nike shoe is getting worn out. My preference is Adidas. The shoe company is getting better in terms of their build quality, material and style of design.

Adidas has launched its state of the art piece called Adidas A1. The main attraction of this shoe is that it has a microprocessor chip that sits beneath the shoe base. The microprocessor is intelligent in a way that it can control and adjust the cushion which helps to provide support and comfortable level to the runner's feet.

Well, what is the cost of it? haha...it is priced at $250 and you can go figure out the exchange rate in our currency.

I think I will stick back to my old nike shoe!
