Pre graduation trip

On the way to hike

Finally I am now able to update my blog as frequent as possible now because I am now officially finish all my studies. I cannot update my blog during my stay in my hostel because my stupid university block photobucket this web site and all my photo in my blog are uploaded through this web site. I do not use the blogspot uploader because it is slow and sometime unpredictable. I got another photo uploader site that my university did not block but that site I do not know why the site server is always down.

Big Pao

Cut the crap, before I come back to KL from perlis I and a bunch of my friends went on to a hiking trip to Gua Kelam, one of the famous cave situated in Perlis. Besides that we go there to try the famous big pao 大包 in perlis. The strange thing of the big pao is they do not use pork as the pao main ingredient but they use chicken meat as the big pao main ingredient. The chicken meat taste actually taste like pork, so strange. But the big pao is not all that delicious, just normal big pao and I also do not know why Perlis people strongly recommend us to come and try. Some more we need to make reserve the big pao before we come because no reservation no big pao to eat.

There are a lot of photo that I had not uploaded and so I will post the photo on several blog entries.

Steambot

Putra Palace Hotel

Yesterday me and my friend went to the most high class hotel in Perlis, Putra Palace to have steambot buffet dinner. We looking forward to the steambot buffet for a very long time ago but during that time we do not have chance to dine in at the hotel. We are looking forward for this dinner on the good comment by my other friends had tried the buffet dinner before.

On that very day me and my friends purposely consume as little food as possible so that we can sapu the food kaw kaw during dinner time. As time came nearer we went to the hotel by car and then step in the hotel restaurant to have a taste on the buffet steambot.

After we told the waitress that we came for the steambot buffet the waitress did not ask what flavour we want for the soup and straightaway went into the kitchen and bring back a bowl cheap chicken essence soup. The soup is damm cheap and had no quality at all and is made from a few pieces of Knowl chicken essence cube. It taste bad and salty. We went on to hunt for the ingredient to put in our steambot. We are amaze on how little selection it got. The ingredient they provide were chicken breast meat (it taste weird), sea cucumber (very dirty because the do not clean the sea cucumber throughly), various kind of fish balls (the only ingredient that were edible), squid and calamari (the best ingredient available and were edible) and patin fish (also taste weird).


One ingredient that were very questionable is the prawn you see on the above picture. What on the earth is the blackish thing in the prawn head??? We ask the waitress for clarification and they say the blackish thing in the prawn head is natural and it came with the prawn and they also further their clarification by telling us the prawn is still fresh and just came in today. It is really a fear factor if one tried to consume the prawn and in the end no one among my friends dared to eat. The strange thing is when I start taking picture of these prawns with my mobile phone the waitress act strangely and the cook from the kitchen came out to look at these prawns, I very doubtful on the freshness of the ingredient there.

In the end we just consume various fish balls, squids and calamari. The most amazing thing is the most tasty food there is their fried rice, i will give perfect 10 for the fried rice there and other than that the food there sucks big time. It cost us RM 22 per head to consume all those thrash food, I want to say here this is my first time eating there and also my last time eating there. I will not come back for another time and I will not also recommend anyone to go for the food there except fear factor game show!!

Alor Setar 1 day tour

It had been ages since I update my blog, this is because my stupid uni block my photo uploading web site and do not know why if I use blogspot photo uploader it take ages to upload a photo no matter the size of the photo is big or small.

Actually this trip to Alor Setar is last month trip and I blog it until now partly due to my laziness, anyway I still blog it. The tower you see above picture is the Menara Alor Setar that situated in the centre of Alor Setar. This is the first time I and my friend rent car to tour around Alor Setar and this menara had been our point of reference since all of us do not know how to get around in Alor Setar. That menara is the first stop of our trip. Thank god Alor Setar is not big and we purposely went on to the top of the menara to find places and road leading to the places around Alor Setar. According to the brochure this menara is the 52nd tallest tower in the world. The main duty of this menara is telecommunication by using its height. Telekom manage this tower and the same goes to KL tower. Both also a telecommunication tower with the latter is taller and more high class.

After touring around in the Alor Setar city centre we went to Tesco, the newly build and the first Giant supermarket build in Alor Setar and to our amazement there were Big Apple Donuts shop inside Tesco!!!! That is my first time eating Big Apple donut. After eating it I also do not know why their Low Yat branch always got people queing up to grab those donuts. The donuts is normal but surely better than Dunkin Donut, but i also do not know what is the point for queing up just only to grab some donuts???

Lenggong, 玲珑

西刀鱼丸(fish ball)

Fish Belly

You guy will ask where the hell is Lenggong situated anyway, I do not blame you all because this indeed a remote place. In general this place is situated in perak and is a small town that sits in the middle of Kuala Kangsar and Gerik. Anyone will pass this small town if one is travelling to the east coast via the Gerik. There are 2 ways to reach east coast, one is travel through Gua Musang way pass kuantan and all the way up to east coase. The other way is Gerik way that pass through Gerik and enter the east coast from Jeli Kelantan.

This remote small town is actually a birth place of 西刀鱼丸 (a type of fish ball), I do not know what they call in english but this fish is destined to become raw material for fish ball. This fash have many small and big bone and it is hard to eat ordinary way and no one will want to try to eat a fish that need hour to remove all the bone. The meat is tender when making it into fish ball. Besides the meat for fish ball the belly of the fish is also a delicacy with smooth and tender taste. I am lucky because that place near my hometown and so every year I can have a taste on those delicious fish ball and fish belly.

Besides 西刀鱼丸, Lenggong is also famous for its home made super spicy shrimp belacan. It is made from fresh shrimp and this sauce is the perfect match for the fish ball and the fish belly.

Oxd Txxn kopitiam in Jitra

Just not long ago I and my friend went to Jitra for movie. We watched Bangkok Dangerous that day and the movie is not bad. After the movie we planned to go to chill out before going back to Perlis and we thinked for a long time on where should we hang up. The thinking process take a bit longer due to Jitra is not a big town and do not think that Coffee Bean or Star Bucks exist in such place for another decade and so we decided to hang out at a famous coffee shop that sell premium white coffee from Ipoh.

Once we sat down in the restaurant the first problem we encounter is the waiters there seems like treat us like transparent and came to serve us after a long waiting time. The second problem is the menu, a lot of food they do not serve in the outlet. This is the first time I cannot order my favourite food and this outlet have many branches across Malaysia, the food is the same in all branches. I never encounter I cannot order food from the menu.

milk or tea??

Why white coffee is not white at all??

We order some toast, white coffee and tea and guess what did the drink came out as, just like the picture above white coffee taste like Kopi O with no white coffee at all and the tea is just look like milk. The condensed milk taste is stronger than the taste of the tea and it is freaking sweet. The toast is another problem, the kaya and butter is not spread evenly over the toast and the only food that is presentable is the instant noodle that my friend order.



Let us move over to the table we sit, the tissue is badly inserted into the holder and the sugar is almost empty but no one try to refill in the sugar. This is the worst Oxd Txxn that I ever been to and this will be the only and the last time I will go there to hang out. By the way try to guess what people is working inside, the answer is not difficult and I think most of the problem come from the answer.
