Kanna Curry House

OK, I am proud to admit - that I am a Banana-Leaf-Rice-aholic

* I know Pammie is one too - berani mengaku tak? * =P *

I simply - lurve it. I must get my fix at least once a week if I can, or die-die must have it at least twice a month * =P * I am excited to go around the city looking for a place to eat this - ANYWHERE as long they offer these on sale.

This is the latest one we tried * thanks, Pammie * and apparently MEMANG FAMOUS!!! Cos I spoke to a few colleagues, and ALL know about this place. In section14 , PJ if I have not mistaken - as usual, recognise roads but dunno the Jalan name * blush *

They have tables out in the open air, hence make the experience more authentic. Service here isnt that good as you may need to flag them many times to get what you want.

Food was good though. They have it human-kaiten-belt-style * =P * Their staff will walk around carrying the goodies - curries, fried stuff, rice, etc - and you just pick what you want.

Really like their Dhall sauce as it is really thick - not those watery ones most places serve.

Sotong Goreng (deep-fried slice squids)

Fried Chicken and Chicken Masala. Yummy!!!



Would wanna go there for lunch sometime, prolly Friday lunch but then again, I will fall asleep when back in office after all the rice! * LOL * But FuzzyPanda needs her curry... * =P *

I still think the best one I had so far was the one used to be in Taipan but tutup kedai adi... * sad... *

How SP? You mau join the clan? * LOL *

Bless his soul...

Met this cute "man" during CNY 2009 - used to be my 1st sis' BF's dog

He is a very old beagle. Originally was a loved pet of one of my 1st sis' friend, but unfortunately they need to move into a condominium unit and have to give him up.

Sadly, he went missing a month ago. Rumours have it that someone "accidentally" forgot to leash him and he escaped when the gate opened to reverse the car from the porch.

Poor doggie... With his old age, I hope any kind soul take him in... Surely a tough world out there, and it will be harsher for an old, ageing doggie... * please bless his soul... *

rm2/plate sushi

Walking around looking for dinner at MV one weeknite, we tumbled into this Jap restaurant, in which were rather disappointed by the food they served. The shop looked nice, with a cute animal as part of the logo, the attraction stops there.

My unagi roll - no good as the eel wasnt marinated enough with the sauce

WL's very impressive set...

The rm2 per plate sushi... yeah, all- regardless what it is on the Kaiten Belt is rm2. To kill your excitement * =P *, it means ONE ketul sushi on one plate AND there's only like, the same old 5-6 types of sushi parading on the belt. Hell yeah...

Pretty flower on my chawanmushi - which turns out to have very tiny bits of mushroom, meat at the bottom * =( *

Oh yeah, we were fascinated by the Kaiten belt - Pikachu alert!!! The belt is printed with Pokemon pictures * LOL *

My Spa Gadgets

Yup, the crazy side of me made me to buy them ... * =P *

Bubble Footspa Massager! Not bad actually, it will heat up the water and bubbles!

Just that a bit heavy when you wanna pour out the water and have to be very careful to avoid wetting the electrical parts.

Lotion Mate Massager - damn canggih name wey!

But of no use because it DOESN'T work. It has a lotion container, in which the device will heat up your lotion, and are dispensed out warm and via vibrating motion to massage lotion on your skin. It even comes with different massaging heads.

At only rm10, of course I will try it out! I am a Lotion & Creams Junkie!!! Too bad it didnt work - faulty lotion pump and apparently when send it back for change, all other units seem to have the same fault and the dongkoi shop assistant do not know how to operate it.

He even got the cheek to ask me to come back another day when his manager is back!!! You think I so free to drive to your shop again, and pay parking for this rm10 device? Got my money back and leave him with the faulty device!!!

Sweet Treats

Forgot whats the name of the place, but its located in Midvalley Megamall, at the corner near Metrojaya.

They offer a variety of sweet desserts, nice to stop by if you want to satiate your sweet tooth other than ice-creams and cakes. For the desserts we had, its so-so only, but then again, they have many other desserts in which tempt you to try.

My Mango dessert. SP, i like the one I smuggle into the cinema more * =P * Not because of the curi-makan idea, but the taste * =p *

WL and her favorite - Almond Cream dessert, which apparently not that good.


We like the bowls though... * =P *

Dashing Accquaintance

Was a pleasant meeting to be introduced to this dashing, young pup...

Meet "An Fu". With melt-your-heart brown eyes and shiny light brown fur. And feisty spirit.

I think An Fu is the 1st pup I touch since like - ages... And I thought I forgot how heart-warming it is to watch pups playing at your feet * =) *

Spa Milk Salt Scrub

Lurve this Salt Scrub!

The cute packaging caught my eye * yes, i likey moo-moo designs * made me reverse my shopping trolley to catch a better look.

SPA MILK SALT SCRUB

And better believe it - at only rm4.90!!! It comes in lime, papaya and milk salt.

Not only that it is cute, it is very effective as well! Though maybe a lil harsh, it only make you to save by using less to scrub, it really leaves my skin SILKY SMOOTH wey!!!

Yup - believe it. The best scrub I have used so far. As soon as you rinse, you can already feel your skin silky!!! Must go stock up!!! * =P *

Besides removing dead skin, it also mention that they have vitamin E, whitening factors... Well, whitening effect I tak rasa lah, but smoothing YES! * LOL*

Batu Caves - I Did It!

I think I have not blogged this, pardon me if I had.

Sometime mid last year (yes, it was that belated * =P *), a colleague from Netherlands came to KL, and over the weekend, we showed her around KL, one of the places we went was Batu Caves.

It was the 2nd time I been there, the 1st was back years ago when I volunteered to be on duty as a First Aider during Thaipusam. That visit did not allow me to explore the place, this time, well, I go as a local tourist * =P *

The majestic Batu Caves. Before the trip, was asking one of my colleague, who lives near there on the directions. He insisted that I must CLIMB up to the cave - or else it defeat the purpose of the visit. OMG - me? those hundresd of steps? no no no! no thanks!

But then again, once there, I cant be a spoil sport and allow my far-travelled colleague to climb up all by herself. I gritted my teeth and thought - what the hell, lets live and seen it than never, hence the huffing and puffing journey up.

Along the way, you can see plenty of monkeys around - a bit too close for comfort in my view.

And Yup, I made it! * woohoo * and as we were congratulating ourselves, we realised that we just only reached the ENTRANCE of the temple, there are more steps to go INSIDE! * LOL *

Anyway, we managed to drag our feets and look around, truly amazing...

Went to KLCC with her too, and it was actually my 1st time actually strolled in the park. Usually was just a short walk to the convention centre or just pass by the exit to the park * =P *

And she ws laughing away, commented that I was more excited at taking pics than she who was the REAL TOURIST * hahaha *

We also had a fine dinner with her, colleagues and Boss at the Petronas Club. My first time looking at the skybridge near, but no entry at this time of course.

Yeah, it is indeed impressive building, more so enhanced by the night lights.

Beijing - Forbidden City

OKies Folks - my final entry on my Beijing trip. Yay! * hahaha * Quick one to summarize the trip, as I think everyone is getting tired of it already * =P * More pics from my multiply which capture more details of my trip - kindly be my multiply contacts to view them. Thanks!

Yeah, I know I am guilty - with Krabi trip not updated and many more... * LOL * SP, I promise I will up the efforts * LOL * Hey, it doesnt help when my Internet was down, now that it is up, it keeps having thunderstorms when I am home... SP - keluarkan your alat sembahyang, need your blessing booster!!! * kekekeeke *

No one will dare to miss the opportunity to see the Forbidden City. With my infatuation reading those ancient Chinese stories, Emperor stories (besides old Shanghai era stories *wink wink *), how can I miss a chance to get a real feel of a Chinese palace? * =) * Yeah, was brewing the images of eunuchs and servants prancing the area to cater to princes, princesses, the emperor... * LOL *

I must say that I am highly fascinated with this plce. It was sad that we only manage to spend aout 2 hours here due to ur tight schedule - will definitely spend a whole day here should I have a chance to be back in Beijing...

The "highway" outside of the main entrance - I think its a 8-10 lanes road!!!

Looking not much from the outside but the inner yards are spectacular!

How can I not mark this joyous event with my Pandie! * LOL * My colleagues took turns to take pics with my Pandie here - wanna enhance the "we are in china" vibe * LOL *

Really lurve the details - a huge area to explore! Each nook and corner and tile has a story - I am enchanted...

Overlooking Tiannanmen Square - and yes, those black dots are humans!!! The square is H-U-G-E and filled with people!!!

It does gave me some creeps as the first thing which hit me when I am looking at the square, was a flashback of the stories I read about the Tiannanmen Massacre...

Oh well, its a beautiful place no less...

After that, we took a walk at the area surrounding the Forbidden City, in which is the Hutong Area I blogged earlier.

Beautiful sight. The houses reflection on the pond. Used to be homes to the royal relatives and high ministers back then.

Like this pic!

I really enjoyed myself in Beijing, am very grateful and happy that this opportunity was granted to me... And to all people who helped make it happen, and who made it so fun - heartfelt thanks, for inbedding another entry of fond memories in my small heart...

Beijing - Central Business District

This is the place where we stayed, close to the Beijing office. Its like our KLCC area.

The view from atop - from our Beijing office, overlooking the city. Beautiful scenery.

We took a walk around the area - mainly with the intention to find the Silk Market - a tourist hub for shopping, its consists mainly of skyscrapers and office buildings.

We took this vey gaya picture * LOL * had been doing this very often during the trip as it appears that all 3 of us like to take pics! * LOL * Very very fun as we kept tripping over with laughter!

The Silk Market - which basically selling so call cheap-goods-with-prices-jacked-ceiling-high. More like the stalls we have at Petaling Street all cramped into a building. You can find lots of imitation good as well as souvenirs.

This is the first time in my life where one can see how vicious Chinese promoters ar. Yup, they literally claw at you if you look at their good and end up not buying, and haggling is a survival skill here. I even witnessed 2 chinese promoters, each at one side, holding to an Angmoh's hand, barricading him from stepping away until he make the purchase.

So scary that we were traumatised and quickly leave the market.

Saw this woman walking her beloved pets and couldnt resist to take some pics. Yeah, we see many occurances of owners dressing up their pet and what struck me as cute was that it was winter - hence it makes sense to dress them out during a walk, instead of those owvers who put on clothes to furry animals despite the heat in our country.

When the woman saw me taking pictures of her beloved, she stopped in her tracks and ordered her doggies to pose for the picture!!! * LOL * So cute!

Beijing - Formal Dinner with Colleagues

We had this very fancy, formal dinner on the night of the 1st day session. The restaurant was really posh, with expensive looking decor and cutleries.

We had a chinese banquet style dinner, and yes, there were many dishes. Unfortunately, i did not enjoy them at all as I do not like the taste of them. Yup, they do looked very pretty but taste - just did not excite my taste buds.

Just a short pictorial recording of the food we had...

Minced beef cooked in Spicy Soup and HOT STONES!!! Yup, the hot stones are inside the bowl!!! This is the only yummy dish I can stomach * =P *

Braised Chinese Cabbages

Some sort of Chinese Soup - tasted ok, I think got traces of Fish Maw in it * =P *

Tasted like sweet n sour tofu

Cuttlefish in sweet, dark soya sauce

Forgotten what this was * sowwee!~ *

Deep Fried Shrimp in Sweet, Soup, Slightly Spicy Sauce * wah - 4S dish! * =P *

Chinese Ham, Deep fried skin of animal I cant identify to be eaten wrapped in the thin, soft bread

Lotus root slices, with gingko embedded in the "holes"

Spicy Pork Slices - Szechuan style

Deep fried meat loaf with saltedegg yolk - this i know WL will likey! * hehehe *

Chinese Black Fungus Salad (muk yue)

This is beh-tahan : I dunno what's the name of the vege, they were drenched in PEANUT SAUCE!!! * ughhh... * The Peanut Sauce memang one kind of yucky taste - more like water-diluted-melted peanut butter sauce with some spice in it * puke *

Desserts;

Assorted Chinese sweet buns

A very impressive fruit platter - very beautifully and painstakingly decorated.

Despite the food tasted not to any of my likings, we had great company and great fun. All around the table we shared stories, and even brain-teasing games. Really missed the great companions!
