Pollution and haze over Shah Alam
Beijing at the 2008 Olympics is not the only victim to pollution ... Sigh!
Roast Duck @ Restoran Hoppy, SS2 PJ
Add: Restoran Hoppy @ 40 Jalan SS2/66, PJ
Tel: +603 7877 9729
On a closer look... Quite frightening!!
Wow, they have so many branches!?
Yum ... nice and simple. 'Kosong' (Plain) Kon Loh Mee @ RM1.50 each.
Roast duck and char siew (RM$16) - Duck was rather excellent, the char-siew mediocre.
Some other dishes, which were only average ...
Sui Kow (RM$4), Fried Wan Tan (RM$5), and Stir fried poh lay sang choy (Vegetables @ RM$6).

Economy rice @ Sin Hup Seng, Seapark PJ
Add: Restoran Sin Hup Seng @ 23, Jln 21/1, PJ
Not too far from the previously mentioned Wei Xiang at Seapark is another Chap Fan or Economy Rice stall ... This one has nearly as many different dishes, and tastes ... hmmm, 70% as good (which makes it darn good in its own right!).
For under RM$5, you can have ... Steamed minced pork, stir fried Siew Yoke, cabbage and the must-have baked beans with egg! We love chap fan!!
Of cut fruits and bits and pieces ... Seapark, PJ
Alongside the famous Wei Xiang chap-fan stall, well across the road, are these little hawker stalls ... Here lies my favourite cut-fruit stall (Old uncle, not the younger guy who runs another stall on the left - Uncle's is on the right). Sweet and great value at RM$1 a piece, for example Hawaiian papaya (half-slice).
There's also a Taiping restaurant along this road, whilst the food is good, the nick-nacks aren't so good ... Eeep, don't waste your carbs on crappy foods as Brother Chris always tells us! He's so right!

Trying to soothe me aching throat ... so it was time for some Lemon Tea with Honey (RM$2.50), didn't seem to work but at least it tasted good. Also tried the Soursop juice aka Durian Belanda (RM$3.50)!
Decent Assam Laksa with Meehoon (RM$4.90) ...
Paklikopitiam.com.my has the following description - Asam laksas have become local favourites - special rice noodle with uniquely aromatic and subtlely spiced gravies.
Really good Kaya toast with Butter and Kaya. RM$1.60 each. Possibly one of the best in PJ area. So good ... we actually ordered it twice!
Paklikopitiam.com.my describes this as ... Not to be missed - our crispy brown bread combined with our freshly-made pandan kaya make this irresistible!

Nissan Silvia S15 - Immaculate in white
Wasn't easy to keep up this immaculate Silvia on the highway leading from Port Klang to the Kesas! I personally think this is one of the prettiest cars in his genre and generation, better looking then the Mazda RX-7 and the Toyota Supra.
Wikipedia...
The Nissan Silvia is the name given to the company's long-running line of sport coupes based on the Nissan S platform. Although recent models have shared this chassis with other vehicles produced by Nissan (most notably the European 200SX and North American 240SX in the S13 and S14 generations, and 180SX in the Japanese market), the name Silvia is not interchangeable with the chassis codes.
Japan saw a new version of the Silvia (S15) in 1999, now boasting 250 hp (184 kW) from its SR20DET engine, thanks to a ball bearing turbocharger upgrade, as well as improved engine management. The SR20DE (non-turbo motor) featured only 165 hp (121 kW).
The S15 Silvia included aggressive styling inside and out; upgrades to the chassis and suspension, including increased use of light alloy suspension components; and for the first time, a six-speed manual transmission (in addition to a 5-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic). Also for the first time, instead of a viscous limited slip differential, the S15 offered a more effective helical limited slip unit.
The S15 Silvia model lineup was initially simplified to just the Spec-S (non-turbo) and Spec-R (turbo), both models offering an "Aero" variant with a large rear wing and mild ground effects.
As of 2002, Nissan stopped producing the S platform with the S15-series Nissan Silvia being the final variant.

This was MAGICAL ... the BEST creme brulee we have ever had!
Thanks for the tip, Angie!!
The manager saw me snapping these shots, and was very polite and friendly. He recommended the Tiramisu, but alas they had sold out for the day. Next time!
All washed down with some ... Gold Blend tea (Boh).
Shutter speed 1/400s with a Canon G9 and internal flash produced these shots :-)
