Quickie Trip To Taiping

In no time at all we arrived in Taiping. I slept the whole journey

 

Arrived at the Food Court. A large variety of food to be had.

But my eyes is still half asleep.

Auntie Claire when round and ordered this Taiping Special Fried Koay Teow for everyone. Surprisingly it's very cheap at RM3 a plate. So much "liu" (Ingredient).

Here I am with all my feathers puffed up when Auntie Elin and Auntie Claire remarked in wonders that I can handle chopstick well.

Also this surprising Fruit Rojak. Special coz it's first time Mamarazzi tasted fruit rojak with Sotong(Squid).

 Then it was Mamarazzis turn to go "round" the food court.

 

Found these.

 Her favourite "Prawn Mee". Same like Penang, the Prawns Mee here is called "Hokkien Mee".

 Fried Oyster. Hmmm....not bad la... She preferred the crispy version.

 Papa's turn to go "round" the food court. An he came back with these "Chin Loong Pau"/"Dai Kau Mee"/Apam Balik, depending which states you are staying as they have different name for it.

It's something like thick Pan cake with grounded peanuts, sugar and some corn kernel in it. Everyone loves it

If not mistaken this is called Kuih Ketayap in Malay. Inside consists of shredded coconut and gula melaka

 Papa loves this version of Chee Cheong Fun. It's eaten with the red coloured sauce which is sweet. Very hard to find in Kuala Lumpur as the ones we have here are mostly eaten with black sauce.

Spotted on of their famous Heong Peah Stall. Auntie Elin bought one packet of Heong Peah for me here.

After that we proceed to the next destination......"kau Lui"....

Hotel and Restaurant Hong Xing Dim Sum

As it was very late, we "hentam" De Hotel coz the rates is affordable. RM160 only for a Suite. Everything there looks very modern. What is it people say...is it "Contemporary"?

There is free WiFi and the signal very good. Good security as access to the hotel lift is by room card.  Free parking and there is CCTV monitoring the car park. Staffs were friendly and helpful.

The only down side are the Suite is facing the roundabout and it was rather noisy. The night of our stay there, Court Mammoth staffs must have been working overtime rushing for the coming Hari Raya business bloom coz we can hear faint hammering sound coming from Court Mammoth.

However, the next day we changed hotel coz Mamarazzi was uncomfortable when she found these religious items hanging at the corner of the television. Must have been left by the previous occupants and missed by the Cleaning Crews.

After we Check-Out, we went and had breakfast with Auntie Claire, Auntie Elin and Uncle WB(LOL).

 We went to this new dim sum restaurant next to Giant Hypermarket. It's called Restaurant Hong Xing Dim Sum.

Mamarazzi love the way they push the cart to distribute the Dim Sum.

For me, I was moody. I wanted to go Giant to play in the Playland there. Mamarazzi said let me be. If I moody and don't wanna eat then there is more share for her. Bad of her.

 

They had "Lau Sar Pau". It's pau with Custard and salted egg yolk filings. Mamarazzi said tasted good.

 Not sure what is this but surprisingly it was nice. Something like Yong Tau Fu but crunchy.

 Another unknown dim sum. There is Pandan paste in it. Very aromatic.

 Fish ball. So BIG

 Errrr...duno what is this but nice.

 This one is rather special coz under the meat there is a piece of Japanese Tauhu.

 Mamarazzi super love this one. Think it got Salted egg yolk in it

 Seaweeds rolls?

 "Char Siew HK Chee Cheong Fun". Love the skin. Not thick. But too bad about the sambal. Mamarazzi preferred the flaky Sambal.

 "Prawns HK CCF" with surprisingly quite a lot of prawns.

 Papa can't resist ordering these Yam thingy. His favourite.

Can you guess how much is the total bill for the above?

Papa said comeAuntie Claire place not good to let Auntie Claire pay. Auntie Claire very "Fast hands" one.

But I tell you hor...Auntie Claire and Auntie Elin have a very good partnership going on. One went and pay the bill while the other pulled Mamarazzi back to the table. How to pay la like that?

Anyway, I managed to have my way also la. Mamarazzi end up buying me a cup of Laici Sorbet from Giant.

After eating that, am satisfied and proceed to snooze while waiting to arrive at the next destination.

My Quickie Weekend Getaway

Papa came home from work very "early" in the morning on Friday and extremely tired. He practically snored the whole day away. 

I was very "guai-guai". Did not "kacau" Papa. I went to school. Came back home. Had my lunch. Did my homeworks and had my "cat nap".

When Papa woke up in the evening, he asked me where I wanna go since I was such a good boy. I said I wanna go "gai-gai". He asked nearby or far far away and I answered "Far Far away".

Then Mamarazzi packed some stuffs and of we went.

Alamak....really far far away wor.....till night time also haven't arrived... Finally arrived around 9.30pm.

Headed to Woolley Food Court for dinner/supper.

Auntie Claire called better go to the stalls next to Woolley as night time there are nothing much to eat at Woolley.

While waiting for my food.

Lately, I am crazy about "Hor Fun" so Mamarazzi ordered Chicken Hor Fun for me. Too hungry. Can't wait for Mamarazzi to snap photos

I eat first ya. Don't snap photos

Papa had this Char Kuey Tiow. Taste average.

Ahah!!! Papa and Mamarazzi likes this Satay a lot. Forgotten how much a stick but there was a lot of meat there and the meat tasted good. Not too tough or anything like that.

Mamarazzi had Curry Laksa. The stall asked whether she want "plain" ones or with "ingredient". Don't know why Mamarazzi went and answered "plain". Must have been because her mind nearly zombielised.

Anyway, according to her, the noodle taste not bad but the mihun have a bit of "hong" smell. Not sure how to translate it in English.

The curry was okay.

When Auntie Claire arrived, she took over and helped us to ordered this delicious Sotong Kangkung (Squid with water glorybind/water spinach/water convolvulus/swamp cabbage)

Taste delicious. Not that spicy.
 

Alamak....what is this already ah? Fried Mantis prawns....forgotten liao....haiz...Mamarazzi know how to eat only...it was very crunchy.

Auntie Claire ordered another Curry Laksa for Mamarazzi to try out. It's one of Auntie Claire favourite.

When Auntie Elin came, she ordered Ice Kacang. Hmmmm...Mamarazzi had a taste. It was delicious. Not too sweet for her. The Gula Melaka in the Ice Kacang was very aromatic.

After the makan session....tummy full full...it was time for hotel hunting...yup...haven't book hotel or anything....when later on Mandy asked us which hotel we are staying Mamarazzi was blurred too....Was it De Garden, De One or........

Anyway, that's another story......Mamarazzi is super tired liao. Just got home this evening. The bad news is, she found that she had not closed the fridge door tightly when we went off on Friday evening. Some of the things in the fridge had gone bad when we arrived home. Did some clean up and now it's time to look for the Sandman.

Mamarazzi Joining The HCP Boat-HCP Char Siew

Not long ago, Mamarazzi received a present. It's the much talked about Happy Call Pan (HCP).

Mamarazzi's hands itchy liao. Saw Mommy Ling made Char Siew(BBQ Pork). Mamarazzi was keen to try too.

Bought a slice of Oink Oink( Fa Yuk) but heard it's the wrong part for making BBQ pork. Hmm....which part should Mamarazzi use ah? Any advices?

Marinated overnite with dark sauce, oyster sauce, salt, garlic juice, chinese cooking wine and sugar. Auntie CC said it's very important to massage the sugar to the meat till they fully dissolved..

The next morning while I was in school, Mamarazzi started the "project". "Opening ceremony" of her new HCP.

The Oink Oink was cut into smaller pieces coz Mamarazzi worried that it will be difficult to turn the meat later on.

Both Mommy Ling and Auntie CC said must use SMALL fire.

Errr...this one not small enough.

"Wa thap" Mommy Ling with the photo.....got the "approval" fire is small enough.

After peeping a few times and turning the oink oink , it looked done.

As adviced by Auntie CC, must turn the fire to max for a few seconds to "Char" the meat. Making it "burnt" a bit. Nicer to eat.

Jeng! Jeng! Four pieces of lovely "Char Siew"(BBQ Pork)

Looked nice ya?

Wait wait...Anakrazzi at wor...snap photo first before eat.

I don't eat can ah?

black black leh...looks like poo poo

Lick Lick only la....

Not nice. I don't like. 

Mamarazzi tasted some. Said not bad lah. The only thing is the lean meat portion was tough. Could it be because of wrong portion of meat? Or cooked too long? or cooked not long enough? Mamarazzi cooked around 20-25 minutes wor..

Tyranical Mom

Mamarazzi always complain that when I "makan" (eat), food would fall all over the floor. Making the floor messy and dirty.

That day, she got "an idea". Said let me clean up my own mess.

She made me "mop" the floor till sparkling clean. See....can see my face mirrored in the floor. Shiny enough ya?

She said, next "lesson" would be to do the dirty laundry. Not to leave the dirty laundry everywhere. Foul up the air.
