One late night dinner ... and well worth the wait of many months of planning to come here!


Fish chowder ($20) - sublime!


English (not french!) Onion Soup ($17) - excellent too.


Barramundi fish n chips ($28) - EXCELLENT! Tender, tasty, lovely!


Parrot fish and chips (Yes! Parrot fish! $32) - More firm, more texture, but I preferred the Barra.


Kilkenny 1/2 pint ($17) and Tiger draught 1/2 pint ($9)...


One of the highlights of the meal ... Mushy Peas ($5).


It was nice bumping into Adam there ... as was meeting his lovely friends, who were travelling round the world, Ali from London and Nati from Peru! Click here for their travel blog!


This excellent pub is run by Paul James ... (Friend of Michael Tan of Tanner's at Bukit Tunku, small world).

Char Siew Soh ... Mmmmh! PJ State

From PJ State area ... damn yummy.

Wanted some directions? Here you go ... (Thanks to The Map)

1) Look up HSBC at the PJ State area

2) This coffeeshop serving yummy Cha Siew Soh is located on teh row behind HSBC, same row as UOB.

3) Seems they are also famous for their Duck Rice and Prawn Mee!

Cendol @ Green Ice, AEON Bukit Tinggi (Klang)

Green Ice is located near the check-outs of Jusco supermarket, at AEON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre in Klang ... Was so dissapointed with dinner @ Penang Nyonya ... and tired from hours of shopping ... that we had to end the evening with something 'better'!

When we arrived, there weren't many diners, but we decided to give it a go anyway ...

(Note: By the time we left at 10.10pm, it was packed!)

Apong ground peanuts (the 'original way') - So, so.

Apong banana - OK.

Apong sardine - EXCELLENT! 'Creme de la creme'

Apong tuna - Rather good too.

Verdict - Try the savoury ones, they may sound weird, but it works ... good stuff!

Bobo-chacha was good too, as was the Durian Cendol. Both weren't too sweet, just nice!

Overall ... Just shy of 20 bucks for all the above, will definitely return ... :-)

Penang Nyonya, AEON Bukit Tinggi (Klang)

Add: Penang Nyonya @ AEON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre
1 Persiaran Batu Nilam 1/KS6, Bandar Bukit Tinggi 2, Klang
Tel: +603 3326 2686

Poor service, forgetful of orders and didn't even give us tea-spoons for our tea ($3.50 - Expected chinese tea, got Lipton tea, duh!), and constantly running out of items including beef rendang and chicken kapitan, 'staple' foods which SHOULD always be in stock. Tsk tsk... What really upset us was the manager telling us that he was out of various dishes as he had been busy since 10am, that is certainly not acceptable. Poor planning, not the cleanest of floors, and un-trained staff, these are recipes (Pun intended!) for disaster!


The Pie-T (Top Hat, $6.50) was acceptable, but not as good as Chicken Rice Shop's, and the rice served (Yellow rice - Nasi kunyit $8.90, and Nasi lemak $7.90) were both cool. Not hot :-( The chicken curry was only acceptable. Not going to return!!


Ps. On the funny side, the meal came up to ... $33.33 ! Yes 3-3-3-3 !

Located adjacent to the Old Subang Airport (nostalgia .... sigh!)

Add: Jalan TUDM, Kampung Subang, Shah Alam

Tel: +603 7846 1095

The food was average, and service time was terrible ... took ages for the SMALL dishes to be served (the restaurant is usually packed, due to it being 'good value') ... Salt-roast crab, Pork Ribs, Fried Sotong with Curry powder, Lala Meehoon, and Tofu in Soya sauce-Oil. I didn't take pix of the chicken wings ... why? Chicken wings AGAIN!? Fourth time this weekend ... Wong Ah Wah at Jalan Alor 2 nights in a row, followed by Bukit Kemuning golf ... then next, at Kampung Subang!?

Bukit Kemuning Golf and Country Club, Shah Alam

Its the 1st of December 2007 ... what better way to start off the month then with a round of golf with good friends ... Cheik & Hoon, and on the other flight .. Jeanette, Ka, Gary and Nelson. We played our 'regular' Bukit Kemuning Golf and Country Resort, along the KESAS highway. 135 per round including buggy.



This was my first round with 'pro' Hoon ... who shot 43+44!


Cool commemorative putter eh ... I like the BMW 'bulls-eye' logo!


Cheik's game has improved, especially with his new Taylor Made Draw driver ... head's even bigger then mine! Cheik shot just over the century mark ...


And on to the final hole ...


Despite a 54+54 round for me, I had a great time ... I blame it on lack of sleep from Black&Bling :-) Here's our makan after ... which was actually rather yummy.
