Rice Dumplings (Zongzi or Bakcang )

Again it is the 5th Day of the 5th Lunar month of the year,the day when the Chinese celebrate The Dragon Boat Festival to remember Qu Yuan...

A week before the actual day, many people already started wrapping Rice Dumplings and give away among all the relatives and friends.However, i never know how to make a rice dumplings. But, it was a coincident that my Kitchen Expert idol auntie was making thousands of dumplings last Sunday.

So, i busily took a lot of pictures. I even ask my "Ging-Ging" (auntie to pose for me).

 

Glutinous rice, with fried pork wrapped up in the Bamboo or Giant Pandan Leaves.

 

 Put the whole bundle into the pot, make sure all the "Bak zang" 

fully summersed into the water.

All cooked delicious.

 Hang it up for it to drip dry...

 All ready on the table fro packing...

Wow~ so many....

Just showing some pictures, nothing much to mentioned coz i blogged about The Dragon Boat Festival Last year..

Another Bachelor is married...

 Another wedding reception that i attended before Christmas...
Wei Tat and Jessica's wedding reception at Sarawak Club on 12th December 2010.
Yeah... Attending a wedding reception on my birthday, isn't it special?
(i'm not gonna mention my age here, hehe)

 The wedding hall..

I think the bride's make up is so much nicer at the reception as compared to the pre-wedding photos

 Our table...

 The Mr. Pilot  is finally married, so another bachelor gone.. 

The bride and groom entering the hall...

 Dinner time!! Jessica's family members must be surprised that wedding dinner in Kuching can start so early, at 7:30pm we could start eating..... Haha.. not like in KL, usually starts after 8:30pm, huh? hehe..

Like this sambal fish...

 Another my favourite>> Duck!!

The very famous Butter Prawn of Sarawak Club..

 Desserts.. Did not take pictures of other dishes....

Autumn was very happy...

The 2 little girls are getting along so well, Zoe and Autumn....

 Yum Seng!!!

 

With CY and Risa....

The best thing during a wedding reception is we get to gather with old buddies, and grab lots of pictures until we are satisfied...

Restaurant Fancy Mee Corner 愛面子

Heyhey... Haven't been sharing about all the yummy food since many weeks ago, other than been busy, one of the reasons is because many of my friends out there were fasting. So, i din't want to be so sinful to post out all the temptations during the Ramadhan Month= Fasting month...

So... What's so special about the Restaurant named Fancy Mee Corner?? Of course they have very nice noodles larrr... I almost forgotten about this shop coz we had been to so many restaurants, cafes, kopitiam in Glenmarie U1 area. My poor Sony Cybershot is admitted to the Hospital so all the pictures are in the memory card... Thank God for this wonderful September, that we literally work only 4 days a week, so i have more time...

My Iced Longan Milk (RM3.20), very thirst quenching!!! Love it!!

Pity Joyce coz she was having sore throat, so she ordered this Kam-kat Honey which is hot (RM2.90)!!

Finally our noodles are here. Comparing to Deli Dumpling, their service is really very good and fast!!

Dreid Chilli Pan-Mee with Anchovies only at RM5.50.

Dried Chilli Pan-Mee with Fried Fish Cake RM6.20

Dried Braised Pork Pan-Mee at RM5.50

Traditional Dumpling Soup- RM4.20

All the dried noodles come with a bowl of hot soup.

Crispy yummy dried fish cake.

The very big piece of Dumpling.

Last but not least, this is the most special ingredient that you must not missed out!! The dried Chilli!!
There is a whole big pot ready for you to add into your noodles.

Bye Bye! We will be back!!

P/S: Next to Meng Kee Char Siew...

Love is in the air-Jalan Alor, Kuala Lumpur.

The other day we were heading to the Town with Adran and Michelle, so we had our late diner at Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang area.

Jalan Alor, this is the place where i often would eat dinner whenever we come to KL. Most of the time i would just book the hotels around Bukit Bitang area which is the most convenient.I either stayed in Capital Hotel, Alpha Genesis Hotel (used to be Alson Genesis Hotel), Park Royal Hotel, or whichever available with the cheaper rate...

We were sitting right opposite the Bak-GUa Stalls. Surounded by smoke from the satay stall, and all the frying and cooking, also the BBQ of the Bak-Gua. But, hmm...smell nice!

We were all super duper hungry so we quickly ordered.

Spicy Clams or Lala.

Oyster with Eggs, very crispy and scrumptious. RM10 per plate.

Belacan Kangkung...

                                                                            Mongolian Pork

Dinner was great since we were very hungry, it is a very common eating place that everyone knows so i don;t have much to say about this place... Except for the scene below...
This scene was very touching... 3 of them are all handicapped, but they each played a very impotant role. The guy who could walk push their trolley, the other two who were on the wheel chair could sing very well were singing to entertain the eating crowd. They came from the other end of Jalan Alor till this side of the road. They were physically handicapped but they were so vey independent. They did not beg for donation, instead the actually put in the efforts to earn their money. I salute them.

I was very touched. Many people walked over and gave them money. There are still many loving and kind-hearted people in this world. Normally, whenever i see those deaf and dumb people who sell tissue or soft toys, i will give them the money eventhough i din't need the things they sell. Or sometimes, when i see those very very old lady who hardworkingly bring fruits, cookies, or any other things for sale, i will also give them money eventhough i don't want to buy anything. I will always ask questions like where are their children???
There is only 1 situation he i don't give any donation. For those beggars who are very physically healthy like us, i looked down on them becuse they are just lazy people.

AS i walked over to put in some notes into their box. I was praying that more people would give them money since they worked so hard. I hope if anyone of you who met them elsewhere in KL area, please help them.

Restaurant Dine Out at Glenmarie, Shah Alam

We wanted to eat something freshly cooked from the kitchen, maybe some vegetables, meat, soup with rice...

So, Alex brought us to this Restaurant DINE OUT at Glenmarie, U1.

This is also located at Glenmarie (opposite Meng Kee BBQ Pork, same row with Deli Dumplings)

Very Chinese traditional Design at the main door.

This is the special herbal Chicken Soup.

Enjoying the nutritional soup...

Special Homemade tofu, this was superb yummy, smooth, and very soy rich.

Yam Chicken with the special sauce.

Prawn balls fried with Kai-lan. It was very fresh and crispy, and very prawn rich.

They have free ice cream for the customers, it is free of charge and free flow as well.

Yummy! Yummy! I had corn ice-cream together with chocolate chips.

The interior of the shop, i only took this picture when almost all the lunch crowd left.

I super love the table liner hanging on the ceilings, together with the lamps....

All those Authentic Traditional Chinese antiques and furniture display.....

The Giant Vase..

Do you know how to read the 2 Chinese words?

The owner of the restaurant-Mr. Gilbert Chin saw me taking many pictures, so he came over and chit chat with us. He is a very friendly person, and also a photography craze!

Mr. Gilbert was showing us all his masterpiece taken with his Canon 40D, after added the Macro lens and filter. Even a 2 mm mini spider can be so clear!!Wow~We could see all the 4 eyes, hairy legs, etc.  

We even had some sharing and discussions session for a while, and even talked about those camera lens, flash ligh effect, etc. His conclusion is...not necessary to have many equipments but must know how to fully utilize all the equipments you have... So true!

This is Joyce holding Mr. Gilbert DSLR Canon 40D.

Wow... so famous one....

A group photo of all of us with Mr. Gilbert Chin- the owner..

The total amount was RM97 for those 4 dishes, and a pot of chinese tea.
It was a bit costly but it was worth it since the service was good, food was scrumptious, ambiance was comfortable, people were friendly.
