Nasi Lemak, Restoran Gembira in Shah Alam
Nasi Lemak for breakies
Restoran Gembira, Seksyen 3 in Shah Alam
Update from QuirkyMalaysia.com
Add: 2, Jalan beringin 3/13, Shah Alam.
GPS: 3.075820, 101.509134
RM$2 per pack (Extra 50 cents for a 'Fried Egg' upgrade) ... Sotong, Rendang Chicken, and other variants ALSO available, but I prefer the 'Biasa' ... A sweet version of nasi lemak which is a great way to kick-start the day! However, there have been many 'reports' of Restoran Gembira being inconsistent in the levels of sweetness, but I think it's alright! Pleasant and efficient service, and they serve a mean glass of Teh Ais as well ... very good!
1st September 2006 aka the day after Merdeka Day (National Day)
Check out the photo of my local Indian barber (Located adjacent to Restoran Gembira - RM$8 for a hair-cut, can't go wrong with that!) with his patriotic Jalur Gemilang draped outside ...

Singapore trip - Happy Birthday Jan, Mad Malaysian Drivers
Happy 18th Birthday, Bunny!
Merbau Gallery in Neil Road, near Chinatown, Singapore
And finally, here are some photos of MAD MALAYSIAN DRIVERS on the nearly-5 hour journey home (Poor in comparison with smooth 3 1/2 hour drive on Saturday morning from Shah Alam - Serangoon in Singapore!) via the North-South Highway ... Little disregard for SAFETY and the ROADWORKS, tsk tsk tsk ....
Also, a photo of a new purchase from Singapore!

Roti Prata at Jalan Kayu, Singapore
Breakfast in Singapore
Thasevi Food Eating House, 237/239 Jalan Kayu, Singapore 799461 Tel: +65 6481 1941
Interesting fact : Thasevi's turnover is almost SGD$950,000 a year
Interesting quote : Manager, Mr Yusoff, "We are a dollars and cents kind of business. A typical prata costs between 60 cents and a dollar, so there is no big money involved.Besides, having other branches will only rob Thasevi of its uniqueness.The identity of our prata is that it is Jalan Kayu prata. Anywhere else and it won't be special anymore."
AND, we even found a delicious Otak wholesaler next door ... At least one can have otak-otak whilst waiting 20 minutes for one's prata!
Prego at Westin KL
25th Aug 2006
Where? Prego in the Westin Kuala Lumpur
More details? The Westin Kuala Lumpur, 199, Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur
Wanna call up? +603-27138333
What is it? A multi-level Ristorante Italiano with stone Terazza,with two-level dining outlet overlooks their 'open kitchen' that houses a wood fired pizza oven, pasta counter and rotisserei.
What does it overlook? The vibrant Bintang Walk
What did I have? Calzone pizza
What's that? A calzone is a pizza folded over to close the topping on the inside, and since it resembles a large sock in shape that's what it's called - the word calzone means sock in Italian!
Was it Good? Yum! Moist! Tasty!
What was the best? The tiramisu and the wine ... A 2000 Aussie Shiraz, slurp!
