Bak Kut Teh @ BDC Hiang Mon Low

-
On one of my UNPAID FORCE LEAVE, BF and I met at BDC for lunch. I just accompany him since I need to shop at Watson. As usual, lunch at bdc would mean Bak Kut Teh for lunch.

Previously before the petrol crisis and current economy crisis, the bak kut teh is sold at RM5.80. A day after petrol increased is announced, the food price goes up to RM6.80. I thought that the price remains at RM6.80 until now. Although we are hit with economy crisis now, I don't see if there is any reason for the price to increae. But, I am shock when the price is actually RM7 per bowl of Bak Kut Teh!!! I was like "WHAT???"

BDC Bak Kut Teh which cost RM7!!

The Chillie & Garlic Rice

Some businessman really know how to 'kill' their customer. Unlike before, the place at Hiang Mon Low is not that crowded anymore. I think, some shop owner just take the advantage of economic crisis to benefit their on wallet. Bet, they claim that their earning is less than 3K per month when in actual facts, the earning is much more than that. Frankly, I rather eat McD than Bak Kut Teh which cost me RM7 NOT INCLUDING drinks!!

WAH LAU!! RM7 per bowl!! I remember the time when we only pay RM5.80..

But having said that, compared to KL, still consider reasonable. For 2 person to eat bak kut teh in KL with rice, yau char kueh and drinks, easily over RM20....

The First Confession - St. Mark's Church, Batu Kawa

Last Sunday is BF day of signing the "Book of Life" (I think that's what they call it). From the time table list, it is known as the "First Confession" day... Well, I translate directly the meaning since it's in BM. Hehehe... We arrived there at around 9am. Not many people there that time but there are people setting up stall to sell some food after the church service. BF told me that he had not had any breakfast yet and I nag him. Whahahaha! I had to sit separately from BF and dad since I'm not the godfather. Church service starts at 9.30pm. While waiting for the mass, I took pictures all around the church . Are they dreaming?? I took some picture when they signed the book. Well, I'm the only photographer that day. One thing different between St. Mark and my church is that during this kind of occasion is that in my church, there will be more than 1 photographers going all round taking photos or filming the whole occasion. I guess Father Lim like

Cozy Cafe, Jalan Song

Feeling hungry for something different on lunch time? Another place you can think of will be this restaurant - The Cozy Cafe. It is opposite One TJ with a black signboard. The environment is indeed cozy and warmth. Taste wise not bad but I can say that the service is a little weird. We order tea and they only permitted to give us 2 cup. Hhmmmm, I thought that we can just ask them to refill the pot wit hot water and share the tea amongst us. Guess this is how they earn more - limiting the number of sharing per tea pot. Oh well, got to just follow their rules. And this is what we ordered - sharing portion between a few of us. After all, ladies are small eaters. Mushroom soup with garlic bread Fish and chips Spaghetti Carbonara with hot dogs  Enjoy your lunch yea...

'Ma Li Chai'/'Mani Chai', also known as Cangkuk Manis

While googling for news about 'malichai', it turns out that I hardly get anything that I am looking for, so this triggers me to write something about this local vegetables that I believe, can only be found in Sarawak. 'Mali chai' is easily planted and grow quite fast as well. In fact, this is the only vegetables that I planted and it didn't fail on me! With its stick, just plant it on the ground and leave the rain and sun to takes care of the rest. Hahaha... 'Mali chai' is a word in hokkien that mostly use in Kuching. 'Chai' means vegetables. Hakka people called it 'su choi'. Well, this vege doesn't seems to have an English name. If we are to translate from BM to English, it definitely sounds weird - Sweet Hook. I think anyone who hear 'sweet hook' will not be keen to try it out.. So, how do 'mali chai' looks like? I've snap the photos of this vegetables at my garden. Actually, I've just harvest the vegetables few
