Pantai Remis trip to grab seafood !! (3rd post)

On the 8th of Jan, received a call that

my cousin bro n auntie from kl was in ipoh.
Therefore, my uncle brought them along

to Pantai Remis to grab 'cheap' (i disagree) seafood

The one on the left is my cousin bro 'Kok Foo'.
The one at the back is my 'jiu jiu'
the one on the right is my 'ah yi' ..

You grab wadeva that u wan n then u bargain a bit ..
We went 2 places to grab diff seafood ..
They oni sell to ppl that they know ..
Meaning stranger cant buy from them
These seafood are meant to b exported out of Msia ..
Luckily, we have relative in Pantai who brought us around

This is the result from 1st stop ..
We bought squid, prawn and some fishes
and then we receive a call that the ship was on the way ..
so we went to the next place b4 all the seafood sold out

This is how they show u wad they've got ..
You choose n pick wad u wan n hand over to the staff

This is my favorite ! Gigantic squid ..

Staff were sorting out the fishes, prawns, squids etc

Sometimes u'll get unexpected 'visitor', that day was these 5 stingray

We bought some of these for bbq ..

and after choosing, tada ! hand it to them ..


This is wad they call Pantai fish ..
All these are to b exported to China


Cant believe this when i was told tat each fishing ship can cost up to 100k each

We ended up buying 2 boxes full of seafood

~Adios~

Giant breed !!! Scary (2nd post)

This is my 2nd post of the day ..

Bump into this gigantic fish outside the restaurant 'East Ocean' in Menglembu, Ipoh

when i was about to have dinner with my cousin from KL

I've no idea whats its english name

but in cantonese, they call it 'Loong Dun'

If i were to direct translate it into English ..

Then it would become the 'Dragon Buttock'

hahahahahahaha

Mei Yoke, B Chai and i were busy snappying photo of the gigantic fish

that we forgotten about the cousins who were waiting in the restaurant

This is quite scary as the size of the fish is
as long as the metal table
B chai, being a great fan of fishes,
was so excited when he saw the fish

I cant imagine how heavy is the fish
How many ppl would it take to eat up the whole fish
Thats all for now ..

~Adios~

Ken Chai's Birthday cake ! ( 1st post)

I knew I posted this rather late ..

but i've been really busy recently ..
To be exact, this post is 11 days late ..

As in the cake was made on the 9th Jan
My bro, Ken Chai, made this cake

for his birthday celebration with his gf
I was only there to help ..

At first, we plan to buy the konyaku jelly to decorate the top of the cake .. After heating the mixture, i added some chocolate emulco to add taste to the jelly ..We bought the plain flavor konyaku powder ..

After that, we pour the jelly mixture into the bear mould ..

It came out cute .. but we found that the taste doesnt go along with the chocolate cake

therefore, it went straight into our stomach .. hahahhahaa

This is the cake batter .. My bro pour everything in ..

Although it looks a bit gross .. but it turn out to be quite delicious

It looks nice, isnt it ..

We were actually trying to make Chocolate Mousse Cake ..

Thats Ken pouring the batter ..

It was really fun to make our own cake ..

After preheating the toaster, the next step

of course is to bake the cake ..

BUT please remember one very important thing

Please clear whatever thats inside the toaster before preheating it ..

You can end up like this ..

Ken actually forgot to get this out from the toaster

and preheat it straight away ..

Look at this ..

This is wad will happen to plastic when it is heated up

Next is to melt the white chocolate and dark chocolate
Then, add in some butter and whip cream ..
This will be the chocolate topping for the cake ..

After the cake is ready, we cut off the upper part
The cake is then cut into 2 slice ..
Between the 2 slice of cake .. we pour in some white chocolate
In this way, it'll have different taste ..

And finishes the cake with chocolate topping ..
Please do not do like what we did ..
You'll end up having a mess ..
Like we did .. hahahaha
We should have put the cake on a tray that have holes underneath
In that way, the chocolate wont get stuck on the plate

This is the outcome ..
If the sides of the plate isnt messy ..
it doesnt looks so gross ..
but nonetheless, the taste was acceptable ..
Thats all for now

Celebrating New Year in Cameron Highland !!

Been a little bit busy recently with so many things to catch up
therefore, was a little bit late to upload the photos taken during the trip to Cameron Highlands
We started off late in ipoh .. The traffic to Brinchang where our hotel is located was a little bit slow .. but we manage to reach Equatorial by 1.30pm .. But we can only check in into our apartment at 3pm therefore, we went outside to snap a few pics ..

This picture is taken by my cousin 'Ah Chin'. This is my family though my bf and my eldest bro's gf is missing .. So this is an imcomplete family pic .. Hahahaha .. As you can see, we were wearing short pants .. We regretted that right away as we underestimated Cameron .. It can be as cold as Liverpool during rainy season !! The strong wind doesnt lose out either ..

This is taken at the car park of the apartment we rented ..

Its so beautiful

This is the apartment we rented .. As there were 7 of us, we went in 2 cars with dad driving the Exora and my 2nd bro drove his gf's Myvi .. We rented only the top floor .. not the entire building .. but that alone cost us Rm600+ >.<

Took this when everyone was busing admiring the scenery below ..

Thats me, eldest bro 'Ken' , cousin 'Chin' and 2nd bro's gf 'Rachael'. The one standing on the chair raising both his hands (scare ppl kenot see him) is my cousin .. hahahaha .. he's really a very funny guy doing all the funny things to make everyone laugh !

This is the complete group photo with a table acting as a tripod. ^_^ . After leaving our stuff in the apartment, my 2nd bro 'Melphis' suggested to go to Raju Strawberry Farm to pick our own strawberries and munch on the spot !

Unfortunately, we were told that the strawberries in his farm is not in the harvest season yet,

therefore, we wont be able to pick them ourselves .. Determined not to leave empty-handed, we headed towards the cafe beside the stall

to grab a plate of Strawberry Waffle !

The strawberries grew in Malaysia is very different from the one i visit in Sheffield, Uk

As these are for commercial use, the strawberries are grown carefully. Therefore, its neater

After shopping for vegetables and honey in Kea farm, we headed toward the steamboat restaurant .. As my father was wearing short pants, his ex-colleague dared him to steamboat in the open air ..

Everyone was waiting anxiously to start munching .. it was a pity that it wasnt a buffet

The chicken stock soup base and tom yam soup base ~! Its really nice having a hot pot of food to fill up ur stomach in the freezing weather ~!

Took this pic in the morning outside the balcony of the rented apartment ..

We were all freezing .. Look at Ken's hair .. We tried many many times to capture a perfect shot but failed .. the wind was quite strong that morning ..

Took this picture in the Equatorial Hotel Lobby ... As my bro doesnt wanna give up picking strawberries .. We tried another farm beside the hotel and yeay ! you pay Rm20 to get a tray to pick 500gm of strawberries !! We were all so excited !

Nice reddish strawberry .. Yum Yum !!

Manage to get 4 reddish strawberries .. Though i'm not a big fan of strawberry but it was fun plucking them :p

and we had 2 full tray of reddish big fat strawberries !! we were soooooooo full munching down all those strawberries !

Came upon this beautiful orchid in a farm on the way home .. Really really beautiful .. It caught my attentiong with its beauty

and i saw my favorite flower !! Even though its also called Lily, but its different from the Lily you get in ipoh or kl .. Its quite rare .. and this is all i've posted about Cameron ..

More post coming up soon .. Made a chocolate cake with my bro 'Ken' to celebrate his birthday !

And went to Pantai Remis to grab seafood ( Squids, Prawns, Fishes ) .. Saw an amazing fish outside the restaurant near my house. The length of the fish is as long as a rectangular table !! And lastly, seafood bbq today !!

Melaka Trip on Christmas ~!!

Went to Melaka on the 24th of December to celebrate Christmas

Even though the stay was only for a night but it was worthwhile

A gathering with the Liverpool gang was definitely what i was looking forward to

It was a pity that the trip was a short one

We all met up at Pahlawan mall ..

It was a pity that the rest of the gang was unable to join us ..

But hopefully we'll be all be able to meet up again on this coming feb

Miss u girls sooo much .. Miss all the girls talk

Went to have dessert in this cafe ' Pink Berry'

I actually had cendol there the night before and 2 more just before the gathering
Thats the reason why i ordered this Mango pamelo dessert ..
If i'm forced to take another cendol, i'll faint .. hahahaha

Next to the ' PinkBerry' cafe, there's this shop that sells Mille crepe cakes
It was selling fast .. Was only able to try out the original and berry cake ..
Surprisingly, the shop only sells crepe cake .. no other cake
and its really different from other cakes .. you should really try out this cake


According to the waiter in the shop, the cake actually consist of 21 layers of crepe and cream

you can feel all the layers when it melt in ur mouth

it was definitely a wonderful experience

Went to Jonker walk and tried out the cendol

It was such a loooooong queue ~!!!

If i'm not mistaken, the shop is called Jonker street ..

All the pictures are taken with my phone ..

Forgot to bring camera along .. Hahahaha

Thats all for now ..
