Taiwan Street 台湾坊 @ Tropicana City Mall

Yesterday was my happy day, coz i managed to find this modified traditional dress at Tropicana City Mall. I need it for my department family day's dinner next weekend. After some shopping and money-spending session, we headed to this restaurant for a drink and snack.

The restaurant was full of customers when we were there, didn't know that so many people would opt for taiwan cuisine.

The interior design of Taiwan Street. My sis and fren says the colour too bright for them, they felt very dizzy and blaring. @@

The seemingly attractive menu with a variety of drinks and food

My fren ordered this--> Red pearl milk tea. The worst pearl milk tea I've tried until now, very tasteless and yucky. Never ever order this drink if u go to this restaurant. I thought it should be good since this's a restaurant named Taiwai Street! My gosh.

Special red plum ordered by me. Very tasty, hahaha.

Hai Wang Roll. Taste a bit like Loh Bak. The sausage in the middle was not very fresh, I dislike the texture. We tried this bcoz I saw its photo everywhere in the restaurant, but turned out to be disappointing.

Salted chicken chop. This is not bad, thumbs up.

The hot chocolate there was sucks too, served in a very ordinary plain glass with a teaspoon in it. Not chocolaty at all, maybe 1mcg of cocoa powder mixed with 5g of sugar, lol. I just do not understand why the restaurant was full house with these kind of below standard food + drinks.

The Wok Cafe - Penang Nyonya and Local Cuisine @ The Strand Damansara, Kota Damansara

明天是姐姐的生日，由于无法申请假期，我们提早请她吃顿饭庆祝。本来是打算到KL Pavillion吃午餐，但因为某些原因而延迟到下星期。后来我们打算到Kota Damansara的The Wok Cafe吃午餐。会选择这家餐馆的原因是我之前在Temerloh吃过某个朋友从这儿打包的虾膏猪肠粉，觉得很好吃，味道也蛮有penang道地猪肠粉的feel. 到了那儿后才发现原来它的'来头'不小，Cui Ling的'一日五餐 - One Day Five Meals' 及香港的'日日有食神'都到过The Wok用餐。回来后surf了一下他名片上的blog，连拿督黄家定也去过那儿，真厉害。我们到The Wok时已经是午餐时间，里头坐满了客人，比我想像中多人。店员很快就为我们找到位置，还介绍了些店里的招牌菜，服务不错。

我点了杯槟城的特色饮品豆蔻水(Nutmeg Juice)，很清甜及解渴，又不会太过sweet. 赞！
(一杯RM4.00, 未加10% service tax)

Kerabu Mango,味道有点像rojak,加了虾膏rojak酱，跟我之前吃过的Malay Style不一样，不过也很好吃。芒果脆脆酸酸的，蛮开胃。
(小份的RM8.00一碟,未加10% service tax)

槟城炒kuey teow,RM8.00一碟 (未加10% service tax)，很好吃，够火喉，奇怪的是没加cockle.

这是店员强力推荐的槟城虾面，她说之前cui ling也是吃这个。妹妹点了碗虾面，份量很少，如果给我吃一定不饱，哈哈哈。汤的味道不错，但妹妹说sambal'麻麻地'，SS2的虾面不比这个差，而且sambal更够味。
(一碗RM7.00,未加10% service tax)

也要了份penang otak-otak, RM5.00 (未加10% service tax). 味道其实不错，但不知道为什么texture软软的，我还是比较喜欢johor的otak-otak (很久没吃了:( ~~)

在慢慢品尝，呵呵。

总括来说，The Wok的食物蛮不错，值得推荐，只是价钱比较贵，但偶尔吃下也ok啦。以下是在The Wok的部落格找到的地址及map.

等待。。。

很想转换个工作环境，可是一直苦无机会。在现在这间医院服务了快3年，是时候转换一下工作环境和接触些新的人与事物。这3年来舟车劳顿，辛苦了我的MyVi,劳苦功高啊。

近来我的unit来了个好吃懒做、时时玩失踪的PPF,他这种人去到哪里都带给大家麻烦。之前在上班时间溜出去喝茶,被院长逮到后还若无其事般，他的脸皮真是厚！每天看到他那副'尊容'我就想吐，根本是一副等退休的嘴脸。最气人是他现在是U32 (这种性格也可以升职><)，在我的unit是最大的PPF，所以只要我不在他就'欺负'别人，自己跑去厕所睡觉，让别人去忙。像昨天那样，我去了ward做counseling，他竟然趁我不在就溜走了，他没想到我会去spotcheck他，哼！这种懒惰又记性差的人，害到有critical unit的护士打电话来跟我们投诉，因为他on-call时不跟SOP做事，真讨厌。现在只差还没有incident reporting吧了。

我已经告诉老板他的'恶行'，下个星期开会，我要想办法叮走他！

Kota Damansara Star Village- 星之村西餐厅

前几天到Kota Damansara的星之村西餐厅(Star Village)'喝茶'，觉得那儿的气氛很不错。它的主题是沙滩，所以可以看到很多有关seaside的装潢，很特别。

Star Village的外观

很吸引人的menu,里面有各种不同的饮料和食物

Kota Damansara的主题是沙滩。另外在别家的主题是60年代怀旧和环保，我没去过。

这是朋友帮我们点的supper,超好吃的面包。外皮酥脆，里面却很松软，有点像炸馒头的口感，但更香。表面好像有层盐还是别的调味料，很香。配面包吃的酱料味道像mashed potato，很不错！

我要的饮料，很好喝！忘记名字了，好像是SunTea.味道酸酸甜甜的，挺解渴。里面加了些lemon片，我的最爱。

店里有只被吊起来的假猩猩(还是猴子？)，一直转来转去，怪可怜的，哈哈。

有辆星之村的车子摆设在门口，不知道用处是什么。。。让客人拍照吧，哈。

Cari Makan at Tong Kok Hotel, Kuala Lipis

Last week I attended a course (Kursus Kenegaraan, or Kursus Biro Tatanegara BTN) at Kem Bina Negara, Kuala Lipis. Surprisingly, I find the course much better than what I expected. Accomodation & food wise are ok, still tolerable for me. Get to meet some old & new frenz there, very enjoying loh. I kind of like the activities too, especially flying fox! I've height phobia, really didn't expect myself to have such courage to play this game. Haha...

On the last day of the course, we headed to Kuala Lipis town to cari makan. Esther became our tour leader. :) We came to this hainanese style coffee shop to have our tea. It's located at Tong Kok Hotel (hotel? @@). When we reached there, the big round table was occupied. However, a mr. nice old man there let us had the table, big thanks to him!!! :)

We tried the famous roti bakar, steam bread and coffee. I love the roti bakar the most, maybe because I'm always the number one fan of roti bakar. hehe.
