Boo Hoo Hoo :-(

19 December 2008

It's 3 in the morning and I am still trying to get everything back into my computer. It 'crashed' this morning and the only way to 'save' it was to get it brainwashed (reformatted the pc !) I have actually got so many more posts coming PLUS I even had quite a few shots of Christmas decorations around KL/PJ area. Well, I guess it would have to wait till after Christmas as I would not be free to blog for this week. Sigh.

Sorry guys/gals !! Sigh, sigh, sigh ....

Anyway, do have a Blessed Christmas and an even Greater New Year in 2009 !!

Restaurant Ken Kee, Ulu Yam

08 December 2008

On our way back from Fraser's Hill we had lunch at this restaurant near Ulu Yam. The noodles are very tasty but they were unlike what I used to have at this other restaurant in Ulu Yam (in the old days!). The fish we had was very fresh and the soft shell crabs were not too oily.

Fraser's Hill

07 December 2008

It has been close to 10 years since we last went to Fraser's Hill and with the long weekend and school holidays in December, we headed up for a short break. Now, the funny thing is that warm clothing was brought for the kids, as for us adults, we just thought that Fraser's Hill would not be as cold as it used to with the other two highlands (Genting & Cameron Highlands) filled with development and all ....

Alas, it was not to be ... we reached Fraser's Hill, greeted by some landslides (already cleared) and lots of rain. So, the result was ... cccccccold !!! (and very wet 'coz of the rain)

First stop was Restaurant Hillview which is just off the famous 'clock tower/round-a-bout' and right opposite the public restroom ! Just what we needed !!

After that we proceeded to check into the Pine Resort. This, being a very old resort, was a bit run down I must say. The cemented stairways leading to the apartments were not clean at all. There was rubbish around and some cobwebs too. The apartments were quite old too. I saw some mold around the gas burner in the kitchen too. Water pressure was very low as well.

Luckily, we came prepared! I had brought along a can of disinfectant spray, steamboat pot, induction cooker, pots, pans, utensils, bowls, paper towels, dishcloth, table cloth, dishwashing detergent, scouring pad ..... I even brought my own sleeping bag and towels. First thing we did was to 'disinfect' every bed in every room, every sofa, carpet, etc. Then we wiped all the tables and plastic chairs and we never opened the gas stove to use !!

All this hard work made us hungry. It was still raining so we couldn't have our planned picnic by the waterfall. In the end, we had all these sandwiches in the apartment.

Lucky Loke in SS3

My Grandma was back staying at my parents' place and we took her out to dinner that night. While we were walking from the house to the car, we could smell the aroma of our neighbour's cooking. It smelled something like Ginger Chicken Stir Fried with Chinese Wine!! We headed over to Lucky Loke and when ordering, made a request for this dish too ! Heh heh !!

Lammeeya @ 1 Utama

05 December 2008

This restaurant just opened for business today and we happened to pass through this section of 1Utama (new wing). Decided to give it a try since it has been quite some time when we last had Lam Mee !! It seems that this is actually a branch of the original lam mee stall in PJ State (near PJ Hilton, JPJ, ...). Well, if I have a craving for Lam Mee and am too lazy to drive all the way down to Pudu Road, this is a good try plus it's air-conditioned and clean too !
