I had heard about this particular shop selling good Tom Yam Mee at Butterworth area from my girlfriend some time ago, but since she don't know how to go, so I am unable to go for it.
Finally, my girlfriend decided that she will ask for the directions from her friend, and yesh, so here am I!
I always like this type of stall selling Tom Yam Mee, especially maggi-mee, where you can choose your ingredients yourself. You can choose from a vast variety of ingredients, such as fish, chicken, sausage, mushroom, taufu and many many more.
Due to me is living in pussy mode these days, I decided that I will only choose fish (hell alot!), and some mushroom. I also asked for 1/2 piece of maggi-mee only.....really puss puss man...sigh
I am starving while waiting, and I notice that most bowl served got mountain full ingredients, gosh, I is want too!!!!
After 15minutes, my mee is here.......Look at the fishhhhhhhh!!! I can't stop smiling looking that themmmmmmmm!!!!!
However, my excitement stops after 5 seconds. The fish is not really fresh, and some of them gives funny taste. Besides, the Tom Yam soup is below par too. It's not sour and spicy enough, and it's too watery.
However, the mee is awesome! Yes, I know it's only Maggi-Mee, but it ain't easy to find someone who are able to cook a bowl of Maggi-Mee that suits your taste, but the way they cook, it is the type of Maggi-Mee that I like how it was cooked! Awesome!!! Besides, they also use Maggi-Mee from Cintan, not like some other shop who decided to go for cheaper alternative.
My rating "Tom Yam Maggi-Mee" : 5/10
However, I find that the person had heard wrongly when I say I just want 1/2 piece of mee, instead I think she heard it that I want extra 1/2 piece of mee.
Just see the leftover.......
PS: it's not because of the mee sux, it's because of Sam Lee had become a pussy like Mr. Choo, and to some extend, Mr. Yukito too.......

FACTS about food and diets
Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it...don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance of vegetable product.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up!

A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No pain...good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil.. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.

Some food me is makan at KL (28/10 - 30/10)
My second trip to KL at October is all alone, after a long 4 hours of lonely rider, time for fooooooooooood!!!
Back to 蘭姐清蒸非洲鱼, but this time, not at Rawang, but at Cheras area. Thanks for Chin Hong telling me this! The shop here is bigger than the one in Rawang, but also due to it's location, parking is hard to find, and need to double park.
The taste of the food is exactly the same, but the fish portion seems bigger, which is a good thing for a greedy pig like me! I enjoice it to the max!
After settle down a bit at Chin Hong's house, went and met up with Mr. Choo, Ms. Seow, Ms. Junie and Mr. Yukito, and end up eating too much, no marnee to pay and need to beg.... :'(
Also notice the salty pork hand beside it? Guess whose hand is it? Obviously its Mr. Choo's one...
The next day, I got the chance to eat the "Char Siew Rice" that Mr. Choo been telling me for some time. However, I am disappointed at the portion of it.
This is for 2??? What??? 1 person also not enough la dei......
The vegetables is normal, nothing special, but at least the portion is correct.
Before we finish our first plate of "Char Siew and chicken", we ordered for another plate, but was told that "Char Siew" sold out liao! Wah fark? Its just 12.30pm!! Shitz.....
The "Char Siew" is really not bad, considered it as one of the best I had eaten at KL, but haiz, can't eat more is always a sad thing.
The roasted chicken is quite good too, and it's also the first time I had ate a chicken rice where the chicken is hot when served! They don't do business like everyone else where the roasted chicken was prepared early in the morning, but they only roast it from time to time!
My rating "Char Siew and roasted chicken rice" : 7/10 (most likely due to the chili is not good enough)
The day before I go back to SP, Chin Hong bring me to eat some really nice bun, called 鸡窝包 at Sri Petaling area. The rest of the "dim sum" there is really very very normal, but the 鸡窝包 is good! Something very special too.
My rating "鸡窝包" : 7/10

Lion!!
New member in the house! His name is called Lion! Well, actually he arrived about a month ago, but I am lazy to post it up since me is never a dog lover.
Extreme lazy dog when he is sleeping in the cage....his pose is awesome, too bad I didn't take some picture of it.
Shitting in the garden!
Lion is also the first dog to be able to actually stay inside my house! Awesome....and my parents tend to forget Sassy already as they keep on play with Lion inside the house, and neglect the poor big dog outside watching with tears......

Accord is here....woooto.....
After waiting for 1 whole month after paying the deposit for it, my mum's new car is finally here! It actually came earlier than expected, as we thought it will only reach our hand at end of November, which is a good thing as I no need share my precious Wankel with my mum!
The model we get is the face-lifted 2.0 VTi-L Honda Accord. It had many of the features that only the 2.4 liter version had before this, such as leather interior, cruise control, a fully electrically-adjustable 8-way driver’s seat with power lumbar support, leather door lining and door mirrors with turn signals. But then.... 2.0L for such a huge heavy car? Gosh!!!!!!!
At Honda 3S center, my mum is trying to adjust the side mirror before driving it out for the first time. I still remember when I first get my car, I straight away ask the salesman to help me take out all the plastic on the seats before I sat on it, but my mum prefer to do it slowly, so let her enjoice the feeling on seating at plastics! :D
Me as the escoter, follow her all the way back to home. I never really like the Accord, and was really against it when my mum decided to get it. I wanted her to get the Mazda6 as it had a sleeker design compare to the Accord, but my mum just don't like it.
However, I do find that the face-lifted Accord looks really not bad when I was driving behind it. I guess the color of the car, Taffeta White really made the car looks nice.
Pictar time!
The rims are fugly in my opinion....gosh...
Some interior peek.... the plastics on the seats are finally gone!
Looks plain now but when at night, it actually looks OK....
Not bad design, but I really don't understand why the screen in the middle need to be that big when really not much information were displayed there.
It also have the dual temperature function for the air-corn, which I doubt had much use.
Some pretty messy engine bay since it's not covered, and I am really sad looking at the 2.0 liter engine. One good thing is that the bonet is hydraulic type though.
I had drove it a few times since the car is in the garage, and personally I find that its better than expected. The power is quite smooth, easily reach 100kmh ++ although I didn't rev it hard at all. I haven't try to push it hard yet, as it's still new. After 1st service, then its time to push to max rpm! *Grins....
Power wise, the 2.0 Accord seems better than the 2.0 Mazda6, but overall comfort for such a grand sedan, the Mazda6 is better and quieter too. Mazda6 is still funner to drive if compare to the Accord. Anyway, those doesn't concern me much since I will be seating at the rear seats most of the time at this car....Muhahahahhahahah

Minor minor mod to my car...
Yea, this is the first time I mod the outlook of my car besides sticking club stickers on it since the days of Neo.
I usually don't like to mod the looks of my car, like to keep it a stock, low profile look, but I don't know why, the urge of changing the look of my 8 keep on comes to me. So here I go to purchase some LED.......
Tadaaaa......
Front view:
Lights on:
Night view:
The LED is currently glued on the car using stickers only. I don't want to screw it up as I fear that I might regret later. So what you guys think? Isit good or it made the car worse?
