Kampung! (Part 2)

After being satisfied with walking around Teluk Batik beach, we went for dinner. Headed back to Sitiawan and went to Ludo Restaurant and had our dinner =)

Every year during Qing Ming my dad's side of the family will come to this restaurant for dinner and every single time we'll order these dishes: Red Wine Vermicelli (红酒面线), Ou Jian (Oyster omelette?) and Go Ru (Sweet and Sour Fish Stomach?- In chinese it is 酸辣鱼漂).

Love love love these dishes =) This year I didn't manage to go back for Qing Ming due to exams and I asked my dad to tapao it for me and delivered it to my hostel. But eating it freshly made at the restaurant is always better than eating it after it's tapao-ed.

Red wine vermicelli. My mom can make this dish as well eventhough she is not Foochow ;) Influenced from my dad's childhood food. By the way, my dad is not Foochow but Hokkien. His family are the odd ones out at the village.

Yum-meh =) I wanted to eat more but there are more dishes going to be served so I settled with a tiny bowl of this =(

Sweet and sour fish belly (stomach?) I absolutely looove this. Always ask my mom to cook this at home but good quality fish belly is not readily available and my mom doesn't like using lesser quality fish belly because they have a very strong oil smell.

The best oyster omelette I've ever tasted anywhere =) The oyster is rightly sized. Some oyster omelette have oversized oyster (Just like the ones I tasted in Taiwan) and to me it's disgusting =S You can feel the inerts spilling into your mouth while you chew on it.

There are other dishes too but... I was too busy eating to really take more photos. Hehe.

Then we head back to my mom's kampung. My sister don't really like going back to my mom's hometown but personally, I love that place. It's quiet and secluded and far away from the city... I'm so not a city girl, and will probably never be one =3 And most importantly, it's dark. Not light pollution to block my view from the Milky Way =)

My cousins have a dog named Brown and she just gave birth to puppies... Which they gave away =( Not that I want the puppies but I love to play with baby animals.

Dog's teeth! Haha it's intersting to note the difference between their teeth and human teeth.

Bark bark!

That night I spent 1 hour lying on my uncle's Proton just looking at the stars =) Talked to my cousin and we tried to look for the Big Dipper. I think we found it but we are not really sure. But still, it's pure bliss just lying there enjoying the view.

The only thing there to ruin it was the mosquitoes. Sad.

SOULed OUT

I'm gonna talk about FOOD again! My favourite blogging topic muahahaha. I have other passions too but there are all pretty... Scientific? Haha they will bore you to death. So yea, food is the best topic to blog about =) Especially here in Malaysia food connects us all. I've only met a person who doesn't enjoy eating (WHY!?). She is weird (You know who you are haha) First, a HUGE cup of coffee to awaken your senses. My daddy always order a kopi O whenever possible. I think he fancies himself as a Kopi O connoisseur haha =3 But I keep my distance from coffee. Coffee makes me jittery and anxious. Even drinking tea makes my heart go on overdrive grr. Mummy has been wanting to visit SOULed OUT since awhile ago but we just didn't get around to visiting the place, until today. SOULed OUT has two branches but we went to the one in Sri Hartamas. Took us quite some time (and a lot of help from iPhone's Maps application) but we manage to find the place. The location ...

Cool air

Because nothing beats naturally cool weather =) Was up in Cameron Highlands last weekend. And on the way up we realised: My bro has car sickness. That aside, it was a very uneventful trip. My dad thought me something too! Have you ever seen step-like slopes along the roads that are cut out from the mountains? Those are known as... Ba... Err, I forgot. But you know what it is. Apparently according to Malaysian regulations, they must not be more than 6 per slope and each step must not be more than 6 meters high. But that's not the case for most of the slopes. Please, those slopes are SO high you cannot possibly limit the steps to only 6! So, like most Malaysian rules, it can be altered to suit the case. You know, altered. Anyway, engineering is fascinating =) Especially about airports! And my dad loves them too. I suspect I'm very much like my dad. When he loves something he will babble on and on and on about it, usually to a person who will not be listening to him at all. Ki...

2nd-post-of-the-year Update

Hi all! You must have thought that I've gone off the blogging world and you are ALL WRONG! - - - - - Actually well you are right. I am not blogging per se now. I'm hiding in an obscure corner of the Tumblr world now, using it like Instagram (posting random photos of what I find interesting, what I eat, and random stuff). Why not Instagram, you ask? Because Instagram barred me from using it. The story goes like this: Once upon a time, 3 years ago (plus minus) I heard about this app called Instagram so I decided to download it on my dad's iPhone. I registered, signed in, didn't know what all the hype is all about (since none of my friends were using it then) and then proceeded to write an e-mail to Instagram, telling them I would like to deregister my account from Instagram. And they did =D - - - And last year when EVERYONE is switching from posting photos from Facebook to Instagram, I thought, oh let's create another Instagram account! When I did, they ...
