Alor Setar Trip 08 Nov 2007

B'fast

Special Alor Setar kai si mee. The sauce is not black like wan tan mee, but a simple clear sauce. Probably prepared with just salt and fried onion. Simple yet delicious.


Lunch

Nothing special, just ordered dishes. The only thing worth mentioning is this plate of shark in the plate below. Novel, but not especially delicious.


Afternoon Activities

Mahathir's Birth Place






Menara Alor Setar





Sumting Garden

A nice garden with many things on display. Stone carvings, wood sculptures, rocks and various animals. With wild running mountain goats as well!

Genting!


Oh come on... surely you can guess this island!

Woah..can make giant handbag with this

Can eat this drumstick syok lo

Dinner

For dinner, we had seafood at Kuala Perlis.

The small signboard that took us half an hour to find

Seaview

Ah..the ever present sotong goreng

Black Pepper Lai Liu Ha


The not so "Kam Heong" Kam Heong Crab

The seafood i have to say is nothing spectacular. In my opinion Bukit Tambun seafood tastes better. Not worth the trip. Also the crab meat irritatingly sticks to the shell making it unpleasant to extract.


But oh well, it was a nice little one day outing to Alor Setar. Oh and Kuala Perlis and Bukit Kayu Hitam. And what a really pleasant surprise to get "Da Hong Pao" tea from Doe's mum. Thank you aunty!

4 out of 5

Circling Penang Island

Stop 1

Titi Kerawang Waterfall

1st we set off from Bayan Lepas, through Balik Pulau and end up here in Titi Kerawang

The sign board stole the limelight

Mmmm....relaxing waterfall. Water sejuk sejuk...syok.

Woohooo sliding down the rocks. Shud haf take video :P

Oooooh...What a rush!

Gaya. Mutu. Keunggulan.

Stop 2

Teluk Bahang Dam

Reach here too late liao. Nothing to see.





Stop 3

End Of The World Restaurant

Seafood..glorious cholesterol laden seafood!!!

The ubiquitous sotong goreng

Rm 50 sumting "Tau Tey"

Woohoo...curry Crab

Ah...fav "kong"

Wah lau eh... perfect peeled "kong". Best.

To be able to peel the claws perfectly as the pic above, the crab meat must not stick to the shell. I've eaten some crabs that have their meat stuck to the shell making crab eating a teeth gritting, hair pulling, stress inducing activity.


Stop 4

Batu Feringgi DVD

Beli justice Pao DVD for mummy only.



Stop 5

Supper at Subaidah near Gurney

Just because i want drink Teh Peng.


- The End -

Heh Bee and the Lobster

They say women love decisive men.
I say if a man can decide easily for u, he's a player.

If he decides fast, ur just heh bee too him..cheap and easy. If he takes his time and really thinks it through, ur his lovely lobster.

For me, the less time i spend thinking , the less i care.
If u c me deciding fast, i dun give a damn.

Some ppl say, "Ur theory is screwed. I've known my BF for 7 years now. I think he decides pretty fast, does tat mean he doesnt care?"
Well, he's been thinking about u for 7 years! Of course he can decide a bit faster.

But i honestly think if ur NEW bf can decide a gift for u in no time at all...he doesnt care. At all.
I dun think guys like heh bee easy women...if a girl doesnt make me think hard how to please her..ermm..im not so interested.

Hmm...but then again, if i cared less then i'd b more decisive. And women like decisive.

*note to self : go get "How To Not Care Too Much And Start Being A Man for Dummies"

Pavillion at Bukit Bintang

Woah this place ar....filthy rich bastards go wan
Siao eh...everyone walking around empty handed.
All boh lui shopping.

Yo! Sushi
So in this filthy rich bastard's mall we went to try the Yo! Sushi restoran
walaueh..also kie siao price.
Cheapest plate rm3 most mahal rm16

The very blur blur photo of the plate prices

Those cheap cheap sushi RM3 lo. But those tat look nice n u wanna eat RM5 or 8 like tat.

The RM3 cheap sushi

The nicer sushi that i want to eat but my meager income can only afford 1 plate

Delicious seafood yakisoba. Rm14 oh

Firecracker Fried Rice..sweet n sour-ish...not my fancied taste

Luckily i not hungry tat day. If not...chiak sai
But a plus is the miso soup (RM5) and green tea(lupa..RM3 kua) has unlimited refill.

My Lunch : SoftShell Crab

J & Co Donuts
Well, at least there was a really nice donut shop there called J & Co. Wah the line long giler. When it was my turn, hafto wait (again!) patiently for the staff to replenish the stock of nicer donuts. But it was worth the wait. The donuts were really nice.

Donut heaven

This donut wasn't filling and is easy to eat. The dough is lighter and not as thick which makes every bite flavorful. This is unlike other breads or donuts that always has a part that feels like all your eating is plain bread.

Mizi Bistro at New World Park 6 Oct 07

Lobster Thermidor

Location : Mizi Bistro, New World Park at Swatow Lane. You cant miss it, New World Park is that big new fancy foodcourt at Swatow.

Wawawiwa...lobster oooh.
RM36++ for a set. One drink, 1 soup of your choice, main course and dessert.

Nooo....I am not Campbell.

For starters I had this mushroom soup. Now this is not your usual taste-like-Campbell soup. They actually cooked this soup themselves. Lovely, actually tastes abit like the one i cooked myself teehee.

And now, ladies and gentlemen...oh my god...ooh la la the grand lobster!

EAT ME!

The Lobster Thermidor...fuuuiyoh..syok giler. I'm guessing its baked la, i dunno. But mm..the smoky aroma of baked seafood shell, fused with the rich cheesy sauce melting perfectly with the oh so grand and wonderful lobster meat...heaven. Well worth the price.
My sources tell me this lobster is called Slipper Lobster, and is the cheaper types around.
Lobster Thermidor refers to the name of the dish. It is creamy , cheesy lobster meat served in its shell.
