On February 1st, a public holiday Monday, Andrew, Siewmei, and me, went on a small photography trip to Morib, Gold Coast. Our last visit to Tanjung Sepat we totally missed the place. So this small trip is kinda consider a filler to the place.
Basically, there’s really nothing much there, or we didn’t do our research before going there. What’s there we saw was beaches, empty beaches, long stretch of empty beaches. Not to say it’s not nice la, but just a little too plain.

Sorry for leaving the blog un-updated for so long. Been really busy lately with work. But still manage to squeeze out some time to do some local travelling. 3 weeks ago, Andrew, Siewmei, Kokwai, Eddy, Sherinna, and me went up to Ipoh to do some shooting and eating. Had some very nice food from there. Guess I don’t need to intro the food from Ipoh anymore since there are like tonnes of information online already. Not gonna write much. Here are the photos. Enjoy.

Went for a trip to Yogyakarta with Siewmei, Yenc, Jook, Shyng, and Hamyu on the 4th of July. It was a 4 days 3 nights trip with minimum planning. But it was a fun, relax, and filling (stomach wise) trip for all of us. Reached Yogya about 6 something in the evening, our Guest House’s pickup already waiting for us at the airport after we done all the scanning and spraying for prevention of H1N1 Flu. So we head straight to our Guest House. The distance from airport to our Guest house was around 30 to 40 minutes. The sky turn dark very early there at Yogya, so we were already planning what to eat during our ride to the Guest House. Finally we decided to walk around and we found a nice little restaurant that serve indonesian food to eat. After the dinner, we chill around our Guest House, and went to sleep early cos we need to wake up pretty early the next day to catch the sunrise at Borobudur.

On the 11th of April we went to this small town call Tanjung Sepat. It’s located near Banting, Sepang, and Morib. The little town was famous for it’s seafoods and Lover’s Bridge. Based on further findings on the internet, apparently there are more to the town. Based on our itinerary, we explored Tanjung Sepat. Hopefully you’ll like the photos.
There are 14 of us, Dom, Andrew, Siewmei, Yanny, Kokwai, Benchin, Ah Fai, Kokwai’s friend A, Sherinna, Behn and Eddy. Aivy and Aivy’s friend A came later in the trip. We gathered ourselves at Subang 7am in the morning and depart, based on the directions we gathered here and there on how to go to Tanjung Sepat.
The must see when you visit Tanjung Sepat.

On 5th of February this month, we had a birthday party for 2 birthday gals, Weiyee and Yippie. We went to Alexis at The Gardens, cos is near to the office 
and the environment is very nice.
Because it was a join birthday party, a lot of people showed up, some for Yippie and some for Weiyee. But most of them know each others. And because a lot of people showed up, there’s a lot of pictures taken. Filtered a lot of pictures and ended up with all these to blog.

On the 23rd of January, my gang organized a dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp, The Curve, because Weiyee and Alex came back from Beijing for Chinese New Year holidays. So the dinner is to “wash dust” (chinese saying) with both of them.
Want to apologize to Waihoong because we set the dinner at 8pm, but we reached there around 9pm. So Waihoong waited there for an hour, alone. Hehe. Ooops.
Waihoong with his pissed face. His eyes are like questioning us why are we not punctual. Hehe. Jam la dude.

Went to this newly opened restaurant call Canton-i at The Gardens, Mid Valley yesterday. As you can see from the name, it is related to Dragon-i. It is located at the lower ground floor at The Gardens, near another chinese restaurant Din Tai Fung. The food they sell are mainly chinese stlye barbeque stuffs, such as Char Siew, Siew Yuk, Duck and Goose. Haven’t got the chance to try the barbeque goose there cos it was finished by the time we got there.
Business seems to be very good there, because i went passed the restaurant a few times and there’s always people lining up.
Took this shot after we ate. That’s why you don’t see people lining up. Cos it’s late.
The interior of Canton-i is very nice, combination of beige, white, and pink, made a very comfortable place to have ur meal. As you can see, there’s a lot of people.
There’s 2 sections here, this one is the left section, the picture before this is the right section.
Decorated with items that are very chinese such as these bird cages.
Very nice semi round seating, but don’t think can fit many people in.
SiewMei holding our number ticket posing, while waiting for our seats.
Syam and Yippie queueing up. Look at the line behind then, long~
A rare person to join us eat, because SiewMei came to find us for dinner. Have to “bay min” a bit.
Me and Jook waiting for our food. (Jook acting like Yippie)
Actually Syam is also another person who’s rarely join us for dinner. Again because of SiewMei’s visit, and i forced her to come along. Hahaha.
Yippie and SiewMei waiting for food.
Hamyu showing his reluctant face to take picture with Yippie.
Look at how happy he is here. Haha.
As usual, drinks arrived first.
Each of us ordered the plain wantan noodles, then we ordered dishes to share. This is the Siew Yuk. A bit too fat, but the skin is crunchy. Yum~
Char Siew. Not as good as Shah Alam or Sunway Mas’ Char Siew, but still consider not bad.
Yao Mark. Haha, don’t know how to say this in English.
Very big and nice wantan. Got a whole prawn inside. Very Q.
Half a duck here. Consider not bad also.
After meal chit chat.
Hamyu with the gals. Hamyu belanja us this round. I think it’s because we bought birthday present for him on his birthday just passed not long ago. Still… thanks Hamyu.
The price of the food here is slighly above average, but the quality consider ok. So, worth going to try out.
Today’s my first time coming to Hollys Coffee so early, because the Internet at home is down for a few days already and have no sign of getting any connection anytime soon. Reach here around 4pm. Had a loyalty card which is fully stamped (10 stamps), redeemed a cup of free ice-blended mocha, and this plate of warm and sweet cookies.
Like it here a lot, since there’s not many people, the ambient here is nice, and my experience here before. The staffs here are nice & friendly, and they’re getting more familiar with my face. Bet they’re wondering who’s this guy and what he do. Or maybe for them, I’m just another regular customer, which they have no intention of more understanding.
Woke up early today, drove to Taman Desa to look for Andrew. From there, he drove us to Berjaya Times Square for the KL Photography Festival. Dom went there by himself and met us there.
Actually I wanted to go there to see if there’s any good deal on the camera I wanted to buy. A lot of photographers and speakers giving talks on their experiences in photography. Didn’t stay long though as there’s not many booths there for us to check out.
Had lunch there at GASOLINE in Times Square with both Andrew and Dom. Not a very good experience. This is my first time going to GASOLINE to eat. I think we’re not the target audience, because almost everyone in the restaurant is very young, as I would say, kids, even the waiters and waitresses.
So, the manners of those kids working there are really bad, I think they’ve not been trained on how to serve customers. 2 young girls at the bar there was making so much noise, shouting (that’s the way they talk) to each others. And once in a while, they swear, yup, they swear in front of all the customers. Me and Dom looked at each other speechless. The table was not wiped clean, very sticky. Those utensils that they gave us, was still wet, OMFG, gross.
The food, I ordered the Kam Heong Fried Rice. I was shocked that the food that I ordered looks like that (refer to the picture below, that was how it’s served, I didn’t touch it yet), and the plate was also still wet with my rice on top.
The lucky thing was that Andrew’s and Dom’s food were still OK. To be fair, the taste of the food was still OK. But then again with the hygiene of those utensils and plates like that, I wouldn’t be shocked if you get Diarrhea from the food there.
That’s it, tried once, never gonna go back there again.
Sooner or later I know that I’m gonna blog about this place. This my friends, is my all time favourite claypot chicken rice. Located at USJ 4, New Apollo Restaurant’s (新阿波羅茶餐室) Choi Gey Claypot Chicken Rice (財記瓦煲雞飯) uses charcoal to cook the rice inside the claypots.
The stall is run by an old couple (at least I think they are). They take turn to do the cooking. I heard a friend of mine said that one of them don’t cook as well as the other, I’m not too sure about that, I think they’re both good.
Before I started to love the claypot chicken rice here, I don’t actually eat those chopped small chilis. I don’t know what happened, one day, I actually tried the chopped chilis with the rice. OMG, what an amazing discovery. So since that time, I don’t eat this claypot chicken rice without it.
The price of of the Claypot Chicken Rice here is quite reasonable. RM5, you’ll get a small one, which i think is almost enough for 2 persons. A big one costs RM8.50, which i think can feed 3 to 4 persons.
They also sell the Yellow Wine Chicken, which i never tried before, maybe next time can ordered and see if it’s as good as the chicken rice.
If you’re interested and need directions to this place, please contact me. Hehe.
