Food In Selangor: Kedai Kopi, Shah Alam


This Kedai Kopi (which means Coffee Shop) is situated at Tasik Shah Alam, near the Shah Alam Mosque. We went there after a tiring mini shopping trip to the Giant Supermarket at Plaza Masalam. The location is very nice & relaxing. No problem with the heavy traffic or even parking space. Suitable for family like mine with very active two boys!

The waiter told me that the best selling drink & food on the menu is 'air asam boi limau' & Shah Alam Beef kue teow . Both were delicious.. will come back for more.

Adam & Kindergarten

Jan 3rd, 2011 was the first day of schooling for Adam (he's 5). I had no troubled waking him up in the morning. He even finished his breakfast, showered & ready to go to Sri Bunga Raya Kindergarten on time. I was really happy that day as everything went smoothly. I said my goodbyes & left the kindergarten. That has been my new routine now for the last 2 weeks. So far, no problemo.. (I'm so proud of him.)

This picture was taken 15/20 min after he had lunch after he came back from his first day of school. I really think he had fun that day!



Everyday I asked him what he did at school that day, he will answered, I play & sing with my friends. It is the trend now that the teachers using games & music as an educational tool. I'm so glad, because I myself been using that method at home. After 2 weeks of school, I am satisfied with Adam's progress.

Adam loves to talk, he's the kind of kid with lots of 'why?' I really hope the teachers at the kindergarten won't get bored by his 'why?'

Just wanna share:
Adam: Mama what are you doing?
Me: I'm playing an online game.
Adam: Why?
Me: I want to 'beat' umi (score). <-- my eldest sister
Adam: Why you want to beat umi? I love umi.
Me: No, I want to win the game.
after a few minutes
Adam: Did you win mama?
Me: No, I lost to umi. I'm so sad..
Adam: Mama, you need to practice. Practice makes perfect, u know!
Me: .... (speechless)

Moral of the story: Never underestimate your kids.. & for UMI, ur nephew loves you.

Share some of ur kid's story with me.. would love to hear them.

Food in Kuala Lumpur: Dinner Up in the Sky ~ Restoran Berputar Menara KL

My company situated very near to the KL Tower. Even though I see the tower everyday honestly I don’t have the urge & temptation to go up the tower. Probably due to I’m not a fan of heights.

On several occasion I’ve missed out family dinner held on the Tower Restaurant. But then I was lucky when my boss decided to held a dinner in conjunction of a training done in our office. Since it was the 1st time the trainer come to Malaysia so it was a good moved by having the dinner at the prestiged tower.

So we went there by driving & actually there’s some parking space right below the tower. Please do drive up because if you think you want walk from the main road I will take you about 15-20min walk (I think).

Anyway, at the Tower Restaurant there are two choices of meal which were buffet & ala carte. To cut the hassle of ordering stuff we decided to go for the buffet. The best thing about the restaurant was the surrounding ambient & view from the above was magnificent. You can see clearly Kuala Lumpur from above.

The buffet choice variety was not as much as nearby hotels. It’s divided between western food & local food. Starters were quite ok & dessert station was marvelous.

One thing for sure the area where people seated (restaurant table) was moving . You won'tt feel it but it does moves around. So after a couple of minute you’ll have a different view of Kuala Lumpur. Fascinating.

Food In Subang : Cendol & Pasembor ~ Warung


Cek kalau balik lalu Subang mesti singgah disini. Tempat ni agak 'simple' & ringkas. Makanan yg ada pun nak kata sedap sgt tak jugak tapi bolehla sekadar nak hilangkan tekak kering petang lepas kerja. Maklumlah kerja byk berjalan-jalan. Kadang-kadang berenti la jugak memandangkan tak tahan tgk ramai org berenti lepak disini.

Warung ni tepi jalan, makanan dia pulak hanya beberapa jenis. Salah satunya adalah pasembor & cendol. Pada cek okla. Kalau nak mai carilah Petronas Subang Airport.

Tempat ni selalunya jadi 'port' pemandu forwarding agent @ org-org marketing pelbagai bangsa.
Singgah jgn tak singgah..

Lokasi : Berdekatan Petronas Subang Airport.

Harga : Murah 4/5

Makanan : 3/5 Murah & sedap terutama kalau baru balik kerja.

Suasana : 3/5 Agak panas sebab tepi jalan. Tapi relex la sebab Tuan gerai tak halau.. Hehhe

*cek (panggilan nama utk saya utk org Kedah)

Food In Terengganu: Sotong goreng tepung, Kemaman



Warung tepi jalan ni memang terkenal dgn sotong goreng tepungnya. Kat Ganu ni, sotong goreng tepung, ikan kembung goreng, kepok lekor, bebola & laksa memang dimakan waktu petang. Setiap hari ada dijual dimana2. So, bila kami lalu jalan ni utk ke Cherating, kami singgah jap. Memang sedap & rangup.



Dulu masa tinggal kat Paka adela risik2 resepi ni dari makcik kedai lain. Pernah cuba, jadi la jugak, tp dah jarang buat sejak dah x duk Ganu.

Kalau air plak, yang famous kat sini memang la air nyior. Lagi la air nyior susu. Kalau kat pasar mlm ade coconut shake, dulu RM1 je satu cup, sekarang tak pasti.






Simpang nak ke kedai ni tricky sikit. Ni pandangan kalau dari Kemaman nak ke Dungun. Masuk simpang kiri ni bila nampak signboard Kg Meraga Beris.

Food In Langkawi: Medan Selera Nelayan, Jln Bukit Malut


This restaurant is another must go place every time we go back to Langkawi. They serves Malay-style seafood using all very fresh ingredients. It's situated by the river at Jalan Bukit Malut.

The foods are delicious & worth the trip (every time). There's one problem though, I'm not sure why, but they took quite a while to serve the food (everytime). So, make sure u had light snack before u come to this restaurant. Other than that, nothing to complaint.

Food in Sarawak : Lalapan Muara Restoran Ayam Penyet, Miri


I always find it quite difficult to find a good place to eat in Miri Sarawak. Although there's a lot of places to eat but quite few have a taste which suit my needs. Then there was I, venturing to a new place, situated quite near to the hotel I was staying (Megahotel). From what I know the place is a branch restaurant from the main restaurant which situated further down south. There place was recommended by my client & I can tell you its worth a try.

Well, its quite simple dish of 'ayam penyet', fresh vege & sambal belacan. The place almost full house everyday & what I can tell is, it worth the wait for a seat.

Place : North Yu Seng Road

Greatthing : Simple yet delicious meal.

Setback : Belacan's smell will lingers for a while :)

How to go? Its on the stretch of Jalan North Yu Seng..

Food in Langkawi : Kueteow Goreng (Fried Kueteow) Padang Matsirat Warung


Who says that street ’warung’ taste is not good or great. Well this confirmed when I went to Padang Matsirat or Beras Terbakar a usual shopping place for shoppers especially women. While my wife went shopping I had to entertain my two little hyper kids (maybe because they have a pleasant evening prior to that).

Well Ammar is very selective with regards to the food he takes. Just to kill the time I just bring a long the kids to this small warung near the parking lot. As usual I ordered ‘teh tarik’, milo ais for the kids & a plate of koteow goreng. Surprisingly Ammar ask for it & cant stop eating it even though it's quite spicy. One thing for sure he’s quite fond to some spice on the food.

We’ll at least I’m not worried about dinner for him that night.

Place : Parking lot in Padang Matsirat near Beras Terbakar
