Foodgelicious IV

Hello guys.

Welcome again to another episode of "Foodgelicious".

On today chapter of Foodgelicious, I will be taking you guys to City of History and City of the South to have a closer look on their delicious foods. Let have a look on the menu below:

1. Satay Celup a.k.a Satay Sauce Steamboat

This is the famous Satay Celup from Malacca. You can choose from a variety of "Satay" and dip inside the Satay Sauce. This is much the same as "Lok Lok" except the sauce is Satay Sauce and taste much more Juicy with the nuts inside the sauce. But the wonderful thing about this Satay Celup is you can take as much as you want while eating a part of that without dirty the others, the price is just counted by the stick you ate. Wonderful e? See the picture above, we 4 people above also cannot finish it all.

Try it, they won't bite.

P/s: Dun throw "Si ham" inside unless all of your friends like it :)

2. Chicken Rice Balls a.k.a Fish Ball?

Another Malacca delicacy, the famous Chicken Rice Balls. As a Malaysian I sure that you all must have heard of this Chicken Rice Balls. What make it so special then? I have taste it and felt quite the same with other chicken rice I usually had, but the special part is the Chicken Rice Balls really looks like Fish balls as you can see in the picture above. Oh ya, their black soup are also famous for their weird color. But sadly I didn't get a chance to taste it because we got there late for some reasons.

Better try it, or you will miss out the weirdness of this delicacy.

P/s: Chicken Rice balls REALLY looks like Fish balls la. Argh, no one believe me.

3. Cendol a.k.a Malacca Baba-Nyonya Cendol

Malacca Cendol? This not just any Cendol, It is the famous Malacca Baba-Nyonya Cendol! For me, this just plain cendol because I'm not really a Cendol fella. The special about this Cendol is that they use Gula Melaka (Malacca's Sugar) to make that Cendol and they are Baba-Nyonya. According to my friends at Malacca, Baba-Nyonya is last time before our Country even "Merdeka" yet, Malay and Chinese get married and have their children and they are called Baba-Nyonya. Oh, dun ask me about their religious cause I dun have a slightest idea.

Foodgelicious Meter: 6/10 

If the weather is hot, try it and it will taste more than 6. If rainy day, better go have a cup of hot "Ipoh Kopi".

P/s: Every one likes Cendol? Haiz I prefer Ais Batu Kacang "Kosong". Jom K.B friends let go Nasi Kukus and ABC when the weather is much more normal ok?

4. Mee Hoon Kueh a.k.a Hand-made Mee Hoon and a bunch of leaves.

There you have it, Johor Bahru famous Mee Hoon Kueh. I hardly believe it located just outside my friends house :) As they say looks can be deceiving, this plain Mee Hoon Kueh taste just awesome. The best part is the meat balls, we even call 1 more bowl of meat balls. Unlike the meat balls I usually ate, this meat balls inside are well cook and taste wonderful for every bite. 

Foodgelicious Meter: 8/10

Drewz:"Guys, lets call another bowl of meat balls ok?"

P/s: Sadly that shop not air-condition, most of my friends dun dare to touch the chili padi cause scare of sweating, except me. :)

5. Kueh Tiao Kia a.k.a Small Size Bowl of Kueh Tiao

The reason it called Kueh Tiao Kia is obvisiously the size of the bowl. Originally I wanted to share with my friends but they all said it is so damn little only. Other than the wonderful taste it offer by itself, there are a lot of side dish that can be ordered. There are "Pipe" (Pig intestine), Taufu, Pig Stomach, and much more Pig parts. This make this delicacy Very non-halal, sorry for some people that cannot taste it.

Foodgelicious Meter: 8.5/10

Taste marvelous, try it!!

P/s: J.B rocks because midnight they have supper can choose from a veriaty of food.

I'm Back

Hello Guys, I'm back! Last few days was simply marvelous. I was in Malacca, Johor Bahru, and also Kuala Lumpur. I going down by plane (FireFly) as usual to Kuala Lumpur and travel to Malacca by bus (K.K.K.L).

Malacca, The Historical State. 

After a nice nap in bus, my friend Andrew came to fetch me at the bus stop. The days in Malacca was like eating and play PS3 only. Me, Andrew and Tristan 3 people completed playing "Resistant" on PS3. 

Oh ya, foods at Malacca are just wonderful; Chicken Rice Ball that are round and look like fish ball thingy; Satay Celup that is buffet style steamboat using Satay Sauce; and more.

However, Clubbing in Pure Bar was Unsuccess due to the heavy down pour. What a let down :-( Sad Face.

I also been to Pahlawan to shopping and movie one set. Me and friends watched "Quarantine". Nice movie and not as dizzy as CloverField.

After 3 days in Malacca it is time for Ethan to go to Johor Bahru. Me, Andrew and Tristan travel by bus to J.B.

Johor Bahru, the South State.

Tristan and Andrew played Burnout on Bus, while Ethan sleep like pig :)

Dexin and David came to pick us up to Dexin house. We meet up with Leiyong and Wayne afterword. 

I did some shopping and had some of the popular foods in J.B.; Paper Warp Chicken is Chinese Herbal Chicken steam warp in Paper. (P.s: Thanks to Wayne & Leiyong for that meal.); Mee Hoon Kueh that have the best Meat balls I ever had. (P.s: Thanks to Dexin for that meal.); Kueh Teow Kia & it's Side dish are Appetising (P.s: Thanks to Dexin for that meal.); and much more.

We also gone to Sing K from  2.30p.m until 9p.m. (Rm9 per person) but unfortunately we are hungry before 9p.m and left earlier.

Oh ya, We also watching "Love Letter" with Dexin laptop at night. The show was funny and have some of the best dance move ever.

After 3 days at Malacca, We (Ethan, David, Andrew, & Tristan) sit K.K.K.L bus back to Malacca and afterword Andrew fetch me and David to Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur, The BIG State.

After arriving at JoN place and dinner together with his parents, we played Ps3 for a while and Dokapon on Ps2. 

We went to Summit & 1 Utama for shopping and JoN did the best thing in that month! He bought a Pc game "Left 4 Dead" and the game simply Rock! 1st person shooting game that can Co-op shoot freaking zombie. 

That night we was like Dokapon and see Andrew played "Left 4 Dead" online via Garena. It was funny because Andrew keep say to teammate: "lollollollollol" and do stupid stun that nearly killed himself like walk to a clift =.=

After 2 days in Kuala Lumpur, I finally back to Kota Bharu by Firefly. Lucky me the Air Stewardess was quite attractive :) Smiley Face.

Ok, thats wrap up quite everything of this holiday trip.

Apply Visa? Troublesome -.-

As usual before you go to other country you need to apply Visa. For me, I applying Visa to Australia to further my studies as an civil engineer :)

Applying Visa for higher education involve many stages, 1st you must get the Offer letter from the University you applied, easy step right? Noooo!!! You need to wait like freaking long to get, I wait like freaking 4 months wei!! Haiz during the time that you are waiting for your Offer letter you will feel like Hell, the reason? You dunno yourself get accept by the University or not and when your friends ask you where you going to futher you studies. We sure said the University that we are applying but if the University turn out not accepting you, I guess you also know the feeling yourself :) Still got a lot of things to think about during this period like Fees, Accomodation, whether you can adept to living there and much more.

After getting Offer letter you need to mail the correct amount of deposit and insurances to the University that accepted you. When they receive that payment they you mail you a Letter of Comfirmation. Letter of Comfirmation if a letter that comfirm you are coming to Australia to study and you can now apply a student (temporary) Visa :)

After filling in some blanks, you are charge for the Visa about AUD$450. Expensive right? After that you need to print out 2 medical form and go to the nearest panel doctor to comfirm you dun have are deathly virus or disease. Panel Doctor is doctor that comfirm by Australia Imigration Office that will not write fake report like you have 3 hands or whatever.

Ok then I bring my Medical report to a panel doctor. After waiting for like 15 minutes and done some stupid test like: "Read out this number." (The number test is to test whether you are color blind or are you a total retard.). By today I just know I am just 172cm =.= So so short. Haiz even my little brother is much bigger than me already :-( Back to main topic, So the doctor even ask me to take a Urine test, the purpose I am not sure. Finally the doctor test my eye sight, and she have a shock after knowing that my left eye is Lazy Eye that can hardly see the 1st lane of alphabet, doc told me go get a letter of Eye Specialist and X-ray from a Radiologist. Haiz troublesome!!!!

Early in the morning, I go to see the Radiologist and take X-ray of my chest see got any broken bone or any worm inside :) After I registered and wait for like 1 hour while watching movie : "Number 23" that staring Jim Carrey. Oh, I forget the meantion that the hospital is very very Cold plus outside also raining. When I entered the X-ray room, I was ask to take off my cloth and OMG that was cold like hell. After positioning me infront of the X-ray machine, a flash was seen and that was it :) Billion and Trillion of cells dead. After I wear my cloth and walk outside of the room, the nurse suddenly come running to me and ask me to take another picture of my chest. I was shock and ask her why? Izzit I got 30 ribs or 3 hearts or whatever, she answer me that the picture taken was not PREETY and need to take another 1. Guess what? I took a total of 3 X-ray to my chest today and I feel sorry for my body cells. Oh ya, I still need to wait for the doctor to write my report and pay for the bills and this whole process take around 2 and a half hours.

X-Ray Machine

Then off I go to find the Eye Specialist. Took around 30 minutes to find the stupid eye clinic. When I enter I saw like 15 Malays inside :( this could take forever and the worker there ask me to go back. "Har? Go Back?" I told them I just need a regular checkup and after 10 minutes of discussing the problem the eye specialist agreed to check on me but after all the surgery is done. Another 1 hours of waiting and guess what? All the Malays are gone :) This is because just a total of 3 surgery is going to be perform today and the clinic plans to close early. Just my luck maybe, when I saw the eye specialist, he quickly notice that my left eye is useless and told me this problem is not fix-able and I was ask to check whether my eye got "Holes" inside that may cause blindness. So he use some yellow liquid and put inside my eye. During that 30 minutes of waiting the medicine to take effect, my eye vision is blurly and I cannot even read the words in near distance. The worse part is yet to come. I was thinking that maybe he use some thingy and poke into my eye to check whether got "Holes" or not, but I come to a relieve because the whole process just involve a helmet and a magnify glass. I was wrong, this process really Sucks, the eye specialist use the magnify glass to aim at my eye balls and use a steam of light to check wheter inside got "Holes" or not. And if I am not mistaken I say out "Oh my God" about 3 times, because the light shoot inside eye balls is not a nice feeling. The whole process take just 2 minutes but the effect of the medicine take around 4 hours and even until now already 8 hours I still hurts a bit when I see direct light :(

After that I need to bring the report from Eye Specialist and X-ray from Radiologist back to the Panel Doctor that will help me mail to Australia :)

Conclusion: TROUBLESOME.

Nice Song? :)

Basshunter : Now You're Gone

David Guetta - Love Is Gone

Crazy - Sam

My Camera o.0

Previously I used this handphone to take all my picture :)

But now:


Yup another Sony Brand for Ethan :) I like Sony product. Hiak hiak, not like my sister that buy Samsung every time =.= 

This is Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77. Cool right? T77. The things about this camera that drive me crazy is the touch screen. Woot hopefully the screen wont spoilt so fast. 

This camera also small in size :) 95 x 59 x 16 mm. Ultra Compact yeah baby, but despite the small size, it capable to capture picture with 10.1 Mega Pixel. Now I am able to take more clearer picture already :) Hooray

Foodgelicious - III

Yet again another version of Foodgelicious. Topic today is the food that I had in K.L. Let look on today's menu. Oxtail soup, Escargot, Steak, Ice cream and Meat Balls. Yummy, Let have a look shall we?

1. Oxtail Soup a.k.a appetizer soup.

Oxtail soup? What the hell is that?
The thingy on my spoon is the tail of Ox that have been cooked :)
Despite the weird origin of the soup (from a tail of an Ox), the soup taste good and served as a good appetizer just what you need before dig in the main dish.
Taste are more heavy than normal Cow/Beef Soup but the meat on the tail part are just perfect :)
Dun worry about they cutting of Ox just because of the tail.

Foodgelicious meter show a rating of 7/10
***Note: Not for all culture!!***

2. Escargot a.k.a little snail served with a tons of garlic.

Oh My GoD, Another weird dish!! Snail!!! freaking Snail???
Yeah. Snail on a plate :) actually they are not called snail, Escargot is their NAME.
I love this dish a lot because of the bizare taste and maybe cause it is snail?
You can find this type of dish at those western restaurant.
How do you eat it? You can eat it by simply bite and chew the whole thing including the shell plate and spoon or by using a holding thingy that holds those escargot in place and you use a fork to poke or pull out the escargot meat inside their shell.
1 more thing: "It does not taste like chicken."

Foodgelicious Meter: 7.5/10
Makes you want for more but you will know when to stop because it is freaking expensive :)

3. Chilled Spare-Rib a.k.a Bloody Steak.

You see this piece of meat red red like this is NOT blood pouring out because it is too raw.
This piece of meat is cut from cow ribs, and served with 50% cooked and chili sauce on top of the steak.
How to know it is 50% cooked? The meat is soft when you cut them and you will saw 2 type of color inside the meat, brown surrounding red color.
On the top corner we have Corn, Potato, Beans, and some Broccoli. I ate everything except the Potato, because I just dun like it.

Foodgelicious Meter: 7/10
***Note: Please dun eat the whole rib under the piece of steak, IT IS NOT EATABLE (unless you are a dog)***

4. Haagen-Dazs Ice cream a.k.a 3 little balls of ice cream on a waffer.

Ice cream? What a big deal about ice cream and some honey and a piece of waffer?
Hoho my friends this just not everyday ice cream but Haagen Dazs Ice cream.
You can choose from a variety of flavors and topping and sidedish like waffer or brownie.
Oh ya forget to meantion, it is freaking F*cking Expensive!!!!!!!!! Rm13 over for a single scoop.
Argh...
For me I think that Ice cream from a Company Called McDonald also tasted better than this and more worth it >:D


Foodgelicious Meter: 4.5/10
Not as good as they said it.

5. Ikea meatballs a.k.a "HEALTHY" meal?

Oh yeshh~ From the looks of this picture we can see meatballs, fries, and also some strawberry jam.
Those be fooled by the appearance of this dish, it tasted heavenly if you are a beef lover.

Fries taste so so only.

To maximise the flavor, ones must dip the meatballs into the strawberry jam before chew them down. Until now I also cannot explain why they think of these meatballs match perfectly with strawberry jam. If you know please share with me your thought :)

***Beef Beef as in COW meat, so some of you might be sad now because you guys are missing out all the nice food!!!Just kidding, culture faith more important***

KL trip

Hoho~ Hello everyone...I'm back from KL. Some of you may even wonder that when I went to KL, got some of my stupid friends even call me to go to snooker when I was busy shopping. Anyway this KL trip is all about FOOD and SHOPPinG. Haha... Only my Mother, Brother, Cousin 4 person go to KL, others didn't follow cause Exam and stuffs.

I Sit AirAsia to KL, and return to KB with FireFly. Two not same type of plane and company, but they both have 1 common ADVANTAGE: Delay. Oh yeah, AirAsia delayed for 45 minutes and I already upset about that but never mind because can sit at KFC in the terminal. But for Firefly I suffer a delay of nearly 2 hours, and the best thing is the terminal is still under renovation and have nothing to drink or eat, just sit there let mosquito suck on you.

Food:

Yeah, some of the most awesome food can be found in KL. I had my dinner/lunch/tea-time at Victoria Station, Nando's, Kim Gary, 任吃 (yam sek), Haägen-Dazs, Ikea food court.

任吃 (yam sek) is a seafood-steamboat-buffet-3 stories-aircon-restaurant. The honey roasted chicken wing from 任吃 (yam sek) tasted marvelous :) and you need to fight for it because they are limited and served every 15 minutes.

Beside 任吃 (yam sek), Victoria Station steak are just the correct flavor i need after 3/4 months staying in my hometown.

Haägen-Dazs ice cream does not taste as good as I imagine, but the price are expensive like hell. 1 scoop of ice cream cost around RM13. Althought 1 little scoop cost so much, still a lot of customers buy Haägen-Dazs ice cream. Why? "This question I also cannot answer you my friend, you must seak the answer deep within yourself".

Kim Gary's Mee maggi are quite Ok but when you know that you can buy those instant noodle at the nearest supermarket at a low low low price, you will order cheese baked rice instead of instant noodle :)

Ikea is a shopping complex that everyone knows, the food court are always crowded and the Swedish meat balls there taste F*cKinG Nice.

Finally, Nando's? 1 thing is sure for my own opinion, Nando's beats Kenny Roger like A LOT, because of the multi flavor choice that suit all type of customers.

Shopping:

I went to 1Utama, Midvalley, & The Curve. "I came, I saw, I BUY" = I go to shopping complex and saw discounted shirt and I buy them >:D .

Midvalley having CK (Calvin Klein) warehouse sales, around 70% discount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are like leopard acting fast and park like a tank on a steady place saying "This is my territory until I get my size" and didn't even move when you push them, LOL 70% discount in CK means like those shirt didn't cost a penny because I saw a lot of people buy Damn a lot of shirts and I mean A LOT!!

The Curve also didn't lose to Midvalley cause there also have PADINI warehouse sales. But sadly I didn't get a chance to participate in both shopping frenzy because my mom dun like crowded area.

Food + Shopping:

Eat eat eat and Shop shop shop eventually there is also Diet diet save save. Haiz, now I need to keep fit and save money for 1 more up coming trip at 24 Nov. I am going down to Melaka and JB to find my college friends and I believe this will eventually leads to Eat eat eat and Shop shop shop again. Lets hope that I manage to control myself before going to Australia or else no people accompany me there already :)
