Children Day Celebration 2016

 *Photo credit to classmate's mom*

Last month end ,  we had Children Day celebration . This year, there were no performance as our school hall is under renovation. So we celebrated in our class.

Two weeks before the celebration, our teacher asked us to confirm what food we are bringing to the party (if any).

Wah lau eh...surprise surprise...so many say bring junk food. Cikgu pengsan sekejap *LOL*

Nah...actually many mommies made delicious food for us la. There were hotdogs...opppsss...must say sausages from now on...spaghetti, bihun, fried rice, Frozen themed cupcakes, mini muffins, fried chicken, nuggets, fruits and many more....but opppsss.... nobody sponsor drinks ka? 

But no problem la...Cikgu whatsapps the night before asking if any parents would like to sponsor drinks and immediately got volunteers. 

Fun fun fun! on top of food and drinks...Mamarazzi also let me bring balloons to school. At first she was worried that we can't blow the balloons . One mommy jokingly said can ask Cikgu L to blow..*LOL*. Yes, Cikgu L came into our class and we had balloon blowing competition.  

 End of the day, there were a lot of junk food to be distributed. Yup...Cikgu didn't let us eat the junk food. Instead , it was kept at one corner. End of the day, we distributed the junk food to bring home. It will be up to the parents whether to let us have junk food or not.

I may not be good in study but distributing food and organising these am number 1...according to Cikgu la. *LOL*

Mamarazzi had to laugh when she saw this. Takes 3 to get a mop to mop the class. 

Papa was not around. So I told Mamarazzi not to cook dinner. Sure there will be leftover food from the class party. Our teacher very clever too. Told us to bring 2 empty containers.  One to use as "plate" to eat in class and the other is to "tapau" excess food home. 

I "tapau" fried rice, fried chicken, nugget and sausages home. Also jelly and muffin for Papa to eat when he come back.  

Reasonably Priced Adeniums Found At Taman Eng Ann Morning Market, Klang

Recently, Mamarazzi got to know a friend (Mr Low) through Bukit Jelutong Plant Exchange. He is an avid adenium lover.

He told Mamarazzi that he got his adeniums very cheaply from morning market at Taman Eng Ann Klang . And oh boy...the photos he posted in his FB ...wow... so beautiful . But sorry ya, Mamarazzi not posting it here without his permission.

Anyway, last weekend we went there to have a look.

 According to Mr Low, people come to buy adenium as early as 5.40am. If not mistaken, this stall opens from Sunday to Friday. Saturday, the boss will go to the nurseries and source adenium plants.

Hence, people would come very early on Sunday to choose adeniums  with beautiful roots/caudex. Yes, adenium is not only prized for their flowers but also the caudex and roots. The more complicated , the pricier it is.

 What's the price range? Well, according to Mr Low who is a regular there...those on the table are premiums ones and  cost around RM25 to RM30 a pot. Still it's much cheaper than some nurseries that Mamarazzi went to.

 See! So beautiful .

 Those on the floors are priced between RM8 to RM18.  If not mistaken the RM8 to RM10 are not grafted. No tag and colors unknown. Sometimes you will get surprising colors . Just like Mr Low who got a pot for RM6 which turn out to be multipetals yellow blooms.

The grafted ones are between RM16 to RM18 depending on the type. Sometimes they grafted two types of flowers in one plant.

 The one the boss was pointing to was RM25 only and it's multi petal bloom. Mamarazzi was "late" that morning. Those blooming with flowers were grabbed up by the early birds.

However, Mr Low was there. He helped Mamarazzi choose a few. The trick learnt from Mr Low is that to choose the ones that you think you want and put one side first or else it would be grabbed by other. After that, can bargain with the boss for a lower price.

Now Mamarazzi is looking forward to the blooms. To seed what surprise is install.

After "borong-ing" the adeniums, we went to nearby BKT restaurant for breakfast. The famous Restaurant Mo Sang Kor. Didn't eat much coz not really suit our taste buds.

Speaking of buds... it seems like my "big" tooth "buds" is coming up. Back gums are swollen and painful .

Feeling feverish and coughing too. Hope it will be okay soon. 

Oh ya...the location of the adenium stall is right in front of Pasar Persendirian Eng Ann Enterprise, Lorong Kasawari 4, Taman Eng Ann, Klang. It's operated by an old man. 

Thong Sui Kai , Jln Sultan Ekram, Ipoh

Another "Once Upon A Time " post. 

I can't believe it. We went to Ipoh so many times but this was our first time having a meal at Thong Sui Kai.

Thong Sui is soupy dessert. Kai is means road in Cantonese. Hence Thong Sui Kai roughly means Dessert Road. This is the place where we can find yummy dessert.

For me , yummy dessert of course must have loads of ice. If there are fruits and Ice cream as topping it's even better.

Yup... Papa ordered this big bowl of Mixed Fruits Ice for me to share.

Some sotong kangkung as snack. It's actually blanched water convolvulus/chinese spinach with blanched soaked cuttlefish. Nothing special, right? But when it's mixed with the special sweet and salty sauce.. it tasted fantastic. Add some grounded peanuts and sesame seed...Fulamak..best giler.

But I was still hungry leh. Hence Papa ordered a nowl of Ho Hee(noodles) for me. 

Slurppp... ini baru best.

This is a makan place worth visiting in Ipoh. Parking maybe a bit hard to find but you can park behind the stalls. 

Here is the address :Jln Sultan Ekram, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

Pusat Kuih & Kek Khoo Eng Chee, Ipoh

A-la-la-la-la-long ago we went to Ipoh. Was it last year? Hmmm... think so...Mamarazzi found these photos in the blog draft ...some how it's floating there more more than a year.

Wokay, guess it's time to share it. Well....after queuing up for mooncakes for more than an hour at Ming Yue last year, Mamarazzi saw a shop nearby also have quite a number of people. Must be something good there

A bakery...old style bakery. 

Business seems to be pretty good. There was people queueing for the kuihs there. 

They have large varieties of kuih-muih. Hmm...anything you can think off..maybe can find it here.

Mamarazzi bought a bit of this and that. Bought Chai Kuih (vegetable) for Papa. Quite big and a lot of inti.

Some nyonya kuih for herself

And Angku for me. 

If you are craving for some local nyonya kuih, you can try out this shop.

Chicken Rice at Restaurant Kong Sai , Taman Paramount

 Once upon a time......back in September... I wanted to have Chicken Rice. But Mamarazzi wanted to have soup pulak.

Well, since we have something to do in PJ, Mamarazzi suggested for us to have lunch at Restaurant Kong Sai. It was our first time their. We have been to the one in Subang Jaya (before it moved) and the food was very good.

 Yay! Mamarazzi got her soup. Double Boiled Black Chicken Herbal Soup.

And I've got my Chicken rice. 

Not much chicken meat for the price but the taste was still good . She loves the pickled vegetables they put on top of the meat. It's really something different from others restaurants.

Will we visit again? Yes, maybe will visit again but not often as it's a bit far for us.

Here is the address . Got it from google.

Address: No.39, Jalan 20/16, Taman Paramount, Petaling Jaya, 46300, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, 46300, Malaysia

The Syrup vs Soda, Kuala Terengganu

 Last school holiday we went back kampung to visit Ah Kong and Ah Mah. That evening, Ah Mah not cooking so we went out to cari makan la. Papa google and found this The Syrup vs Soda having pretty good review.

Okay la..try out this place la. Quite nice ambiance. Only downside is the wash room is at the other side of the building.

 I wanted Milo. Papa and Mamarazzi ordered Milo Raksasa (Giant Milo) for me. Yikes...I have heard of Dinosaur Milo. Now have Giant Milo pulak.

 Papa had this weird named drink..."Teh Dangdut Goyang ". Loads of foam . It's a kind of tea. 

 I had Spaghetti with meatball. Surprisingly the portion was quite big . Price was around RM12 or something like that.

Mamarazzi had moo moo with its glamour name of Star Wars Sirloin Steak Served With Black Pepper Sauce.

Price were around RM26 but also big portion. Presentation wise can be improved.  She didn't quite like drizzle of cili sauce as per photo. Taste wise was okay. Meat was a bit tough . Other than that, it's not bad.

Papa had Lamb Chop which also have a glamour name ..."The Hunger Game Grilled Lamb Chop" RM24. Hmmm...looks like the owners of this restaurant must be a movies fan. Also portion was big for the price.

As for location of the restaurant..... errr.... errr....maybe can Waze kot?

Banana Chips a.k.a Kerepek Pisang

 Some time ago a gardening friend gave Mamarazzi a bunch of banana. This is called Pisang Abu. According to friends,  Pisang Abu is good for making Banana Fritters but then Mamarazzi always fail in this . It always end up not crispy or burnt.

Then her friend gave her an idea. Why not make it into "kerepek". According to him, it's the same way as making arrowhead chips.

 Tested. Hmm.... it works. Just slice the banana right over the hot wok. 

Came home from school, I have two tubs of banana chips to eat. For taste, one can add icing sugar or some salt. 

 What about the "head and tails"? 

 Waste not. Put into the oven and baked with cheese. Papa got to eat that.
