paw paw


He is my favourite. Palm sized and white, well at least he used to be but after numerous outings and many hands, I am afraid it is not an accurate description of him now. He smells glorious and has a perpetual smile. A little rotund but belly is soft.

By the way, paw paw is also the name of Martha Stewart's dog...

cool gadget





















New fridge. Parents happy. We pleased. Cool.

canned teh

By the way, if you are not a native Malaysian, you may think I spelt it wrongly but 'teh' means tea in Malay.



I take my canned drinks very seriously -- only coke or 100 plus, rarely anything else. Scared. So when someone ordered this, fear overtook me. To try or not to try, that was the question. I did take a straw-ful and it was not bad. It was grape flavoured green tea with aloe vera bits. Never judge a book by its cover nor a can by its colour. Cheers.

going green

I was miserable when I heard that the Anya Hindmarch 'I AM NOT A PLASTIC BAG' bag to SAVE THE WORLD has been sold out in KL... I really wanted to join in the green movement (in style) but no such luck.


So after some searching, I managed to track down the next sale of the bags only to find out that the next launch will be in Singapore. To cut the long story short, I have mobilised my cousin to get it for me and what's is waking up at 7.00am on a Saturday and waiting in line to buy a bag for your favourite cousin??!!.

THANK YOU.

crater...


The Tau Foo Fah Jelly
So cold and sweet
But wait...
Please look before you eat


Its a crater
Can't you see
But who cares...
I ate it for tea

wok hei

My husband and I were in search of a place to eat and quite quickly settled on Rakuzen at Plaza Damas. But like it was fated, the lack of parking space led us to park in front of the other entrance to Hartamas Shopping Centre near Kim Gary and Sao Nam. And no, we didn't makan there. We went to this place called WOK HEI and we were glad we did. A real GEM.

Very simple set-up with cement flooring and rubberwood furniture, the service was prompt and very friendly. The restaurant was packed by the way, almost fringing on the neighbour's space.

We ordered the following :-
Kangkong fried with garlic RM8.50
Simple yet so delish lah.
A must have.
Flavourful. Got real 'WOK HEI'



Lala with chili padi RM12.00
Fresh with a hint of spiciness. Yummy.
Another must have (but will prob. try the lala in superior soup next).
Robust. Got truly real 'WOK HEI'



Butter chicken RM9.50
Fried like the prawn counterpart.
A tad dry.
Must try the Vietnamese sizzling chicken dish next



We finished our meal with one mug of sugercane (chok cheh) each. Cooling. Cool. Full.
