Launching of Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows at Kinokuniya

Yayay! It's day of launching for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallow. Unable to wake up early, so got to KLCC around 7.40am.

Aisey! Queue starts from 3rd floor and 5.30am. Hopefully, I'm not too late to join in the fun

Though the shop have been open for nearly an hour, the queue is still very very very long. Maybe it's because only the main entrance is open and it takes up time as people took some time to snap photo with the "Fat Lady". Nope! am not trying to be insulting coz there is really a character named "Fat Lady" in Harry Potter series.

It's a blessing in disguise that this small kucing arrived there late. Barely 5 minutes of queuing, Kinokuniya open the second door to the store for those who wanted to buy the books only.

Wow! people are grabbing the books off the shelves like there is no tomorrow. It's selling like hot cakes!

For those who have pre-order their copy, they do not have to queue up with the general population. Just go upstairs and collect their copy. And I must say. Those two ladies at the counter were very efficient in doing their job. One took our copy of order receipt and get ready the book with the goodies in an orange bag while the other collects the money

Paid the balance of the book price.

And get the book in an orange paper bag.

After all the Huh Hah of getting a copy of the book, the next exciting thing is to checkout "The Fat Lady". Not many people there since most people are in the shop browsing. Snapped some photos with The Fat Lady and she obligingly poses for us.

This is one of the funny poses. Get the password wrong and you'll be locked out of Kinokuniya..muhahahahaha.. Just joking just joking.

Sad

Harry Potter & The Deadly Hallow (Cont'd)

3 more days to go and the password to the Gryffindor enterance at Kinokuniya is "Gillyweed, Violet". Good luck and all the best.

Temerloh Bandar Ikan Patin

Went by Temerloh the other day. The town is famous for its Ikan Patin fresh from the river. Maybe that's why there is a signboard proclaiming that "Temerloh Bandar Ikan Patin" as you enter the town.

Along the small winding road at the river bank, you will see signs hung on poles, nailed to the tree or outside small huts stating that Ikan Patin is available

We decided to stop at this small hut. Only two fella lofting around. We said we wanted to get some Ikan Patin. One of the shouted to someone at the river to bring up some fishes

Here is what it looks like behind the hut. A very steep river bank. There, they built cages for the fishes. From here, the "boss" will get the fishes as and when required by the customers.

They will bring the fishes to the small stall infront of the hut. Fishes are then put into an aquarium.

Customer can choose which one they want and have it clean by the man there or alternatively, they can bring the fish home alive.



Talapia is also sold there apart from Ikan Patin. Price is the same. Either type is RM12 per kilo.

What the...

This must be a very very very old truck. Why? Coz it had been more than two decades that Wilayah Persekutuan/Selangor telephone number contains more than 6 digits after the pre-fix "03".

Did I read wrongly or has vanity car plat arrived in Malaysia?

Durian Tart

Passby Karak the other day. A friend recommended this small kucing to try the Durian Tart at Restaurant Yik Kee in view that this small kucing is mad about durian. Maybe with an exception of Dodol. Don't like Dodol at all.

The shop is located directly opposite of the town's only KFC outlet.

Bought half a dozen of the Durian Tarts at RM1.30 per piece.

The tart sort of got "distorted" on the way home as the texture is a bit too soft. Too many things in the car. Strong durian smell from the tart.

Apart from Durian Tart they also have Portugis Tart, "Siew Pau", Durian Bomb(I wonder what is that), Sak Kei Mah and others.

Don't look down on this ancient shop. It seems that their business is quite good. How do I know that? It's in their receipt. They collect the 5% Government Tax. Only business with Revenue above a certain amount is liable to collect Government Tax of 5%, right?

Prawn Mee at Taman Tayton View

Saw Ho Chak show a few weeks ago, featuring famous prawn mee/noodle around KL/Selangor area.

This Small Kucing went sniffing around Taman Tayton View as recommended by the show. Found the shop. Shop name is Restoran 3U Sdn Bhd. Hmm... I wonder what does the 3 "u" stands for.



Ordered the famous Prawn Mee. Indeed the noodle comes as big bowl as advertised. There are 3 large prawn, generous amount of fish paste, slices of pork meat, half a hard boil egg, some kangkung and taugeh. Loved the chili that accompany the Prawn noodle.

It taste simply delicious. A friend polish off the whole bowl of the soup though she can't finish the noodles. Price RM7-80




3U Mix Beef Noodle is another famous dish in this shop. It's different from the Seremban Beef noodle Quite generous amount of beef and ingredient in the bowl. Price RM6-80

We also ordered a bowl of Prawn Wantan.The shrimp are fresh and sweet. The cost of 10pcs f the wantan is RM5-00. It's a fair price considering in some shop, wantan with pork meat is priced more or less RM0-50 per pc.

Apart from the 3 dishes mentioned, the shop also offers other dishes such as Chicken Hor Fun, Beef Ball soup, Chicken with taugeh, Brause Beef Brisket and etc.

The above is the map to the shop. It's easy to find as it' located at the main road going into Taman Tayton View.

Should you happen to lost your way to the destination, you may contact the above person for direction.
