Home Made Egg Tarts

Tried my hand on baking egg-tarts this morning for breakfast. Friends' advices and the recipes made it look so simple to do these tarts.

The custard overdone as I left them in the oven too long. Next time, I will pre-bake the tarts shells before pouring the egg custard. Taste good though - no kidding!!

Venice of Malaysia (??)

This is a common sight in Klang Valley whenever it rains or pours.

However, it was dry the night before in Teluk Intan, not a single drop of rain at all.

But the roads were flooded

as well as right upto the five foot way of some shop houses

The kopitiam were we had our breakfast

No one seems to mind the water around

life is as usual even in a flooded kopitiam

noticed the uncle on the background, sitting happily with his feet up on the chair


ok, the uncle told me that this annual phenomenal events happened during the first few days of 3rd, 6th and 9th lunar months. It's the water that back flow from the river nearby.

SITIAWAN IN A WHIRLWIND

We were not prepared basically to check out Sitiawan food since it was an impulsive decision the night before. Armed only with a name of this seafood restaurant in Kg Koh Kg China, situated under the coconut trees, it was a good excuse to go burn some petrol.

So off we went to explore a bit of Sitiawan .

Kg Permatang, where fresh catch is sold in the morning market.

Swallows hotels dotted on the way

No need to explain further why it's named KG KOH

And then we saw it!

our early lunch of fried o-chien, stir fried choy tam with carrots
and steamed siakap
Total : RM54.00

This location is ear-marked for housing project. After CNY, they will shift to a new site about 1km away.

Teluk Intan for the Weekend

This morning we drove north, to fetch Jas to her NS Camp in Chenderiang for the Hari Raya 'open house'.

After accompanying the girls inside the cafeteria, I came out and was pratically chased back by two attacking geese. Maybe these are the new security features to keep the next batch of trainees within the camp perimeters.




the geese going into attack mode

tat's me running back towards safety haven from two Mat Rempit Geese


We proceed to Kampar to jalan jalan cari makan. Some bloggers mentioned a char kueh teow uncle in the Kampar Food Court near the market, whom was worth a visit. This uncle will fry his wares sitting on a bangku. Walking 2 rounds, we could not find this uncle, so we opted for a more simple meal of porridge with home cooked style dishes.. it's been ages since I ate 'ham choy' cooked with cockles..

The stall is located opposite Food Stall No 34.

Total price : $9.00

Later in the day, we proceeded to Teluk Intan

Our very own Leaning Tower of Teluk Anson

We stayed at Anson Hotel, which was in the town. Room condition ok ok loh, nothing fancy, just a place to sleep. But beware of the swallows singing constantly as there are some of these shallows hotels nearby too.

A brief nap later, we were out hunting for food. This stall was located next to the hotel and we saw many customers while checking in. Popped over to fill up our almost empty tanks.

We had ABC, Honey Dew Similo, Rojak & Assam Laksa.

Except for the Rojak, the food was good, (maybe we were hungry). Hubby mentioned the rojak sauce was a bit too diluted. The Assam Laksa was darn hot & spicy.

Total dent : RM10.40

Our dinner @ 8 sumthing was at Sechuan Restaurant located at Route 58. We had the Pun Choy for 2 paxes @ $68.00/bowl.


Total bill : RM79.00, inclusive a plate of sweet potato leaves and pot of chrysanthemum tea.


Next on our list was the LIEW KEE (AH LEK) TELUK INTAN famous chee cheong fun. Ya, we were really stuffing ourselves silly.



Can't miss this as they are only opened at 5.30pm till early next morning. We only got one night in TI, it's now or never until the next trip.

That's was our super late supper before we call it a day.

Price : RM3.20/packet (3 rolls/pack)



Tomorrow, to Sitiawan to check out the food scenery there!

By the way, we had a very very unique experience at a kopitiam restaurant where we had our breakfast the next morning!!! Super super duper extra not so ordinary and we were lucky to have experience it, like the locals.

Farewell to My Sunday Dancing

I am relieved to have made this decision. Probably it's the best.

In life, we have to make decisions & choices. Some of them effect only one self and in some cases, others.

I have made the right choice and decision and I am very happy about it!

I will definitely miss the LD kaki members, remembered all the fun, laughter, teasing, bickerings(??), LD parties at LakeView, Chiling waterfall trip, Sekinchan performance & many many other fun, emo, memo moments.
