Tzyy Anne: Medical Checkup

Anne went for a periodic check up as usual at Kuchai Lama Clinic. Mummy and Maelah reached there about 7am. As usual, there were a lot of Mummy and Daddy queuing up to wait for the clinic to be openned.

Its Free, of course long queue...

There were no jabs for Anne already. Therefore, there were only weighing & height measuring session.


Still On Par

Then, there was a Q & A session with the staff nurse. She is wonderful today. We left about 9.15am and Anne's next appointment will be in 3 months time.

I am a big girl now..

Veron: Poo Coffee

My brother-in-law bought a bottle of kopi luwak from Bali recently. I cannot drink coffee anyway and I will get drowsy. I had a smell of the coffee and it smells like normal coffee to me. However, thinking of the thought of it coming from a poop, its like drinking treatment water from Indah Water plant...

The Most Expensive Coffee In The World


100K rupiah or about RM50 per bottle

Veron: Splurge in SPA

I remembered when I was in training school, there was a session where we have to file our nails. Suddenly I was thinking of why not I go for a treat for myself. Honestly speaking, I never really pampered myself all these years eventhough I used to have 'access' to all these facilities.

I went to this place called 'Belle's Secret Beauty SPA' which is near to my in-law's house (I do not want to go too far away from the house as I do not want to leave Anne too long...). I did not know what to expect as this is my first session. Actually I only wanted to do only a manicure (I already had my feet nails painted myself) but I thought why not just indulge a bit by doing pedicure all together.

I had my dead skins around my cuticles removed and they did a scrub and mask on my feet. I specifically loved the smell of the scrub (smells like mango and candy...) and it still lingers even after I had reached home.

I got my 2 thumb nails scratched when I was about to remove my card from my wallet. Therefore, I have to ask the lady to do my nails again. In general, it was a great experience and I would love to come again...

Veron: Pasta From Venice

I went to my parents house, as usual for a visit. A shocking discovery when I found a packet of penne that I bought from Venice about 5 years ago! I guess Mom decided to keep it as a souvenir instead of stomach it...

Huge Penne

Price Tag Still There...

Veron: Bak Chang Festival

I am all so excited not because of the World Cup but I get to learn how to make Bak Chang from my mom-in-law this year. It is a skill that my mom did not manage to inherit from my late grandma and that is why I feel I need to continue this tradition. Let's check out the fillings...


The main actress - mung beans & stir fried glutonious rice


Salted Duck Eggs


Red-Cooked Pork


Dried Shrimp


Chinese Black Mushrooms


Chestnuts


Fried Sliced Garlic


Fried Shallots




Production Section

Choose a nice bamboo leaf.


Wipe it dry with a piece of cloth.


Fold the leaves into a cone shape.


Scoop some glutunios rice into the cone.


Fill up with fried shallot, fried garlic, dried shrimps...


...mushrooms, salted egg & pork.


Cover up the filling with some glutunious rice.

Wrap it up (yes, this does require some skills..)


Tie the whole package with a string.


Voila! I manage to make a bunch.


Well, it is not my Sifu who will determine whether my Bak Chang passes the test...


..it will be this big pot of water. If the filling comes out, means I seriously need to improve my skills.

This Bak Chang festival is also dedicated to all the men out there, who do not have a decent meal during the World Cup event. (Buttock glued to the sofa, eyes glued to the TV set and mouth filled with Bak Chang...)

Tzyy Anne: Doraemon Slippers

Mummy saw this cute bedroom slippers in Times Square and decided to get a pair with Doraemon on it. (Yes, Anne is all hyped up with this Japanese cutie without fingers...). Anne likes it so much that she wished Mummy would allow her to wear it to sleep.

Thanks Mummy!

Veron: Donut + Sushi = Donushi

9/6/2010 - I saw this ad by Big Apple Donuts which captured my attention. Donuts in the shapes of sushis! They have 28 varieties. I bought the big box with consists of 28 pieces, so it was all different flavors. I would not recommend this to those who do not have a sweet tooth as they are actually mushkins with chocolate sauce or jam stuffings. It also comes with a small container of chocolate sauce. What a sin!

Perfect Dessert

Like Salmon Roe?


Its Ikura...


Wasabi On Top..

Chocolate Dip

Veron: Gastronomic Experience in Berkeley

4/6/2010 - Hubby drove Esther's new Forte and headed to Kota Kemuning to pick up Khoo. We went to Restoran Bubur Goreng in Berkeley, Klang for a munch. I guess it is supposed to be supper rather than dinner as when we reached there, it was already 9pm. Khoo called the 'Ah Pek' to make sure our seafood is still being reserved. The speciality of the food here is of course, the transexual crab or most popular known in local jargon as 'pondan' crab. There was not many people who at the restaurant when we arrived. Well, it was way past dinner time. However, we found that Klang-nites likes heavy supper when 30 minutes later, they swarmed the restaurant. Check out what we had ordered...



Famous Bubur Goreng - Porridge With Strips of Dried Cuttlefish, Pieces of Fried Fatty Pork, Spring Onions, Dried Shrimps & The Brownish Color (looks like marmite but tasted even better!)

Steamed Mantis Prawn (Lai Liu Har) In Egg With Fried Shallots

Clams Cooked With Chinese Wine + Ginger + Cili Padi In Broth

Crab Quote: "Once you go pondan, you will never opt for the straights again..."


Aftermath...(note, we ordered stir-fry vermicelli. Disappointed, it was tasteless)
