Jonker 88, Chinatown...

Another entry on Malacca Town still...;-)

Jalan-Jalan at Jonker Street, Jonker Walk...Huh! HotHotHottest weather evahhh!

Souvenirs...? playing tourist aHaHa ;-)

Transit for a bowl of Nyonya Laksa & Chendol, Ice Kacang, Sago Melaka...
Please Q to order:

Looks like all seats are taken...

I always love the classic antique interior....Nice!

Finally, found a cozy corner...

Nyonya Laksa...

Sago Melaka for Dessert..

Honestly, the Laksa taste as good as it was years ago but the Chendol & Ice Kacang ermmm...Sorry no go for me not up to the 'pure' standard Chendol or ABC (Ice Kacang) taste!

 

Anyway, FOOD has always been the highlights of our trip domestically and internationally. Makan-Makan then Jalan-Jalan.

Happy Labour Day to All Working peeps! A chillax day without thinking about 'WoRk'...hopefully ;-)

Penang Food

Penang Famous Chendol....Penang Famous Char Kuey Teow...Best Assam Laksa....Best Briyani in Penang....All No.1 lah! But frankly speaking the food in Penang takdela sampai sedap giler sampai tak terlawan dek negeri lain. Sometimes its a bit overated. You can find better taste chendol here in KL what! Memanglah menu ni semua pun mai dari sana kan tu yang dah macam trend kebanyakkan orang yang pi Penang mesti kata BEST food ever itu ini, sebenarnya holiday, touristy FEEL kat Penang tu pun memainkan peranan sebagai penyedap rasa...lebih ummpphhh & sedappp! :)

Selamat menjamu 'mata' dah tentu-tentu secara sengaja membuatkan uols TERlapar, TERingin nak makan &  TERus pi carik sok...

The ABC syrup errmmmm...has a strong rose essence taste! 

Rojak Buah...

Nilah kedainya...Penang Famous TeoChew Chendol @Penang Road gerai dia ada kat depan simpang makan dalam kafe lagi selesa daripada berdiri tepi jalan kan....

The interior....ada HALAL sign okay!

Jimmy Choo pun makan chendol dia...fuyoooo hahahaha

tapi kafe dia selesa & bersih walaupun rumah kedai lama...

If you ask me I prefer mamak chendol lagi sebab sukatan santan & gula merah dia just nice perfect blend! Macam yang ni...ada pulut somemore fuh heaven! 

 Subang Jaya SS15... still D'Best Rojak & Chendol for me!

Korean Cooking Class

Annyeong-haseyo...

A few years ago, I attended a Thai Cooking Class at Silom Thai Cooking School in Bangkok and Authentic Vietnamese Cooking Class in Hanoi and this year I don't have to 'fly' to learn to cook another foreign meal. Korean Cooking Class is just right here in Malaysia! A galaxy size of thank you to KTO (Korean Tourism Organisation). As usual took loads of pix at the venue: Korea Plaza KL but, so little time to filter and upload 'em here. These few days have been busy in and out Service Centre for "Mr.GenDoe-My Malaysian Car" affairs *sigh*

So sleepy & tired but before I hit the bed, just wanna share the video during our class on how to make Mandu ( Korean Dumpling) & Tteokguk (Rice Cake Soup) with Madam Shin, the Korean Chef...her English is so adorable ;-))) Also for future reference incase I misplaced the recipe.

Alrighty, Gotta go...gotta go TaTa! Oh wait! Packing Time...can feel the sea breeze alreadeyh!!! Lallalala tak jadi ngantuk mwuahaha

Cooking class

First January Twenty Twelve...

Hello..Hello...its the first day of 2012!!!

I guess "First" has been the famous word of the day... my "First" this, our "First" that! Hmmm..every single activity marks the new day of a new year.  So on the day before the 'First' we did the 'Last'  Shopping & family Lunch (errr..the last one for twenty eleven) at Pavilion KL on a new year's eve before we bid farewell to 2011.

Everything Made in Japan..Japan Look, Japan Feel...I just LUV Tokyo Street @ Level 6, Pavilion....
Hey! Dooodols in da house...so cute!

GREAT SALE babeh....!!

 

We spent 8 hours there from noon till evening but we didn't wait for the New Year celebration concert...too tired already, countdown at home sweet home.  Oh btw, just to share it here, they had to put the United Buddy Bears in a 'cage'.....*sad*

Reason: vandalism (conteng & calarkan)...mmmm

What a great family outing on a "Last" day of year 2011! It has been a great year indeed, so much fond memories and unforgettable moments.  Hope 2012 will be a better year for family, friends and all of us around the globe. 

Cilantro Culinary Academy - School of Culinary Arts

Cooking Academy....Culinary Arts...??!  Taking the interest of cooking & baking one step further and become the 'MasterChef at Home'. Oh wow! That sounds rather too ambitious of me...I think I better stick with what I do best, "Work from Home" and "Cooking for leisure" ;-)

Received an invite from a publisher of  Food & Travel Magazine (Singapore) to participate in their Festive Cooking Demo/Class with Chef Bernard Lee at Cilantro Culinary Academy, *click for info* located at USJ Sentral, Subang Jaya nearby Mydin Mall & Summit.

The Class was scheduled to start at 11:00am and finish by 2:30pm but as usual waiting for some late comers to arrive some got lost, not familiar with USJ area and stuck in a 'Saturday busy traffic' bla..bla..bla.

Finally at noon, all 30 of us (I think..or maybe less)  were ready with our printed recipes & pen as well as  the jovial Chef Bernard, he's so ready to roll up his sleeves and begin the demo class....
