cheap and so good ah..

wow..i just discovered this fabulous eating place..and i think this has to be the ultimate-great-food-at-extreme-value-for-money place so far..

a very unassuming seafood restaurant by the highway..the only giveaway is the huge number of people sitting and some standing & waiting for tables to be emptied..the place was really packed yesterday when i was there, but surprisingly, we managed to get a table, put in our orders, and the food placed on our table in less than 15 minutes..

anyway, i'm gonna just let the pics below speak for themselves..




first up was this vegetable curry..totally rich & yummy, full of coconut milk zest !! and you can have fish-head version, chicken, prawns, crabs or whatever you fancy..








..and of course, i had to have my salted egg ration for the day..hehe..this one cooked with mantis prawn..totally awesome..








next was this stir-fried kai lan..first time in my life i sort of enjoyed munching on kai lan...just tells you how good it is..coz mostly i would prefer softer vegetables like spinach or potato leaves, but some how this one won me over..





finally, the toast of the town !! their signature dish - Oyster Omelette..every table had one i believe!! nicely huge and totally fresh oysters were used. just unbelievable how fresh those oysters were..hmm..maybe they had just scooped them out from a fish tank..hehe. my only gripe..the mild chili sauce wasn't exactly appropriate..maybe something spicier might had added even more oomph to that dish..but then again, even without any chili sauce, on its own, the dish was already absolutely tasty..



...and can you believe, the above 4 dishes with rice and a pot of chinese tea for an incredible price of RM50.20 ??!! i think eating in any fast-food joints for 4 persons would have cost much much more...and if you can't resist the temptation after salivating over the pics above, head on over to: foo chuan seafood restaurant at 2580 persiaran raja muda musa in klang (highway leading to port klang..) right this minute .. wheeeeeeee...

oh..by the way, i hear their crabs are really really good too..!! i'm gonna make sure i try that on my next visit..

it's been a while..

...since i put up anything korean..music, food, etc..etc..

no, i havent lost my love for all things korean or japanese..just that i havent really come across anything that catches my attention so strongly until this..

for someone with his kind of background, it must have taken him massive amounts of determination to live and an unbelievable passion to still pursue this dream of his..

he is such an inspiration to humanity, against all odds really...anyway, do watch and be amazed..





..now imagine if bik could sing well like this, jib would sure win the next round hands-down.. ..nella fantaseeeeeea..satu malayseeeeeeahhhh..lalala lalalala..mega shopping time ahhhhhhhh... lala lala lalaaaaa....

if you are in..

..a jiffy and really2 hungry for some good food..

there's this place in ss2 pj that serves up quite tasty seafood dishes at the speed of lightning..as in, before you can even say..err...can i have some chili padi...the dishes appear on your table already..that's how fast they take your orders, cook and then serve them to you..all under 10 minutes..

i was there with some friends and we had ordered the following and i was thinking that with a large crowd already seated at roughly 20 tables, we were gonna have to wait a while..but just as one waiter brought the plates, spoons & forks, another waiter started putting our dishes on the table..



this one came up first..eeeeww..one big ugly looking fish BUT hey...the flesh was so fresh and sweet, we just had to overlook the face staring back at us and just gorged away at the meat..hehe



next up was this asam prawns that had a bit of curry sauce in it..it was totally fabulous, there must have been like 8 huge prawns in there coz i ate 3 and there were 5 of us and everyone must have had at least one, i think.. :OP




another fantastic dish..soft shell crabs deep fried with salted egg yolk..we actually ordered two plates of this one coz one plate just wasnt enough to satisfy our lust..hahahaha (why ah...anything cooked with salted egg is nice one??)



then came this huge clams fried "kam-heong" style..clams were huge but we found the meat a little bit on the puny side..if only we could have eaten the shells...hmmm





finally, we also had our token plate of vege..must lah, after all those meaty dishes, we need to ingest some fibres to ease our next morning's businesses right?..dont want to make no hard rock chocolate muffins that refuses to get ejected from our ovens no? ...lol lol




all the above including some drinks and unlimited helpings of rice came to about rm 167-00.. considering that we had altogether 6 dishes that fed 5 of us really well, we couldnt complain..the food was good and tasty enough, almost bordering on excellent..

so if you are in the ss2 area, this place is called paris seafood restaurant and it is located on the same road leading to the ss2 mall.. do go early coz the place can get really crowded..then again, at the rate the food gets served, you'd probably wont need to wait too long.. hehehe

handfone wonderland..

...wheeeeeeeee...

i found myself this website that sells all the latest smartfones & the not-so-smart ones at really really affordable prices..it's so good, i managed to get an excellent deal for some friends of mine on an HTC wildfire-S and also a Samsung Galaxy S II..you can bid for those items or you can buy outright..and those fellas are totally trustworthy and reliable..you make a payment via internet banking, and before you know it, the item arrives beautifully packed by courier within two days..you can also call or sms them and they would always reply..cool fellas..

they also carry models that are often not yet available here (for some reason..) or by-passed by the local distributors...e.g. i almost got myself a samsung infuse 4g but since i already have an sgsII, i had to refrain myself.. trust me, stopping myself on that one wasn't easy i tell you.. i was so very tempted to get the huawei boulder too..

so..go on, i absolutely endorse this virtual shop.. because of the wide variety of models they carry, the fair pricing that are quoted and most of all, friendly dudes with excellent customer care service...

so..happy shopping ya...hehe




p/s: a friend just asked to help get him this one..put in the order yesterday
and received it today !! talk about fast delivery...

i'm sorry lah...

i just really really cannot help it..

i saw this one at a stall the other day and i just had to have it !! one look and it was love at first sight..!! i would have sold everything else i had just so i could get my hands on this baby..

what am i talking about??

it's this lo..!!







it's the samsung galaxy S II people !!! ... woot3 !!! (for full specs, click on the link..)

aiyoh..i tell you ah, the super amoled plus screen is so clear i dont need to wear special glasses anymore to see...kakaka, it's so so slim, you could put your hand into my pants pocket & not feel it..!! (..ahhhh but be careful what else you might feel..haha..) and it's dual core processor is so fast, it puts all my previous smartfones to shame...i could like play angry bird, type an sms, watch a video, make a video-call, take a pic on the 8MP camera plus all the while tweeting at the same time without any lag... seriously.. wheeeeeeeeeee....!!





no wonder lah i hear the stocks are kinda limited at this moment cause whatever there is has just been flying off the shelves like nobody's business... wooweee..

new playground..

been going to this place in subang the past couple of weekends..for food & shopping.. a new "empire" for me to explore..this place has been around for some time already i think. i just never really took the time to go check it out..

my first visit there 2 weeks ago was like discovering a new magical wonderland.. so many nice food outlets, and the supermarket there has all those things that i used to get when i was living in the usa.. wheeeeee..namely fritolays kettle chips lah..and in so many flavors some more..wahhhhh..heaven leh...i tell you.

a bit pricey the items there but i guess that comes with exclusivity..not so pricey as in bvsc but near enough..

so anyway, went there again yesterday and decided to try this place out for dim sum..this place called "din tai fung" located on the 1st floor of the empire subang shopping centre.



spinach stir fried with garlic..nice & fresh, popeye would have been so proud. when eaten on its own, you get the wholesome goodness & power of spinach without the need for any starchy carbohydrates..




Siu Long Pao..whatever it means...supposed to be a very special dish. err..i didnt quite see the specialty in it. to me it was just a wet "pao" but nevertheless, it was tasty enough..







spring roll..i don't quite recall much about this dish. it was crispy i guess, but wasn't really exceptional in taste or presentation..



ah...this one was my favorite. fried won-ton with prawn fillings..add a dash of that super-hot chilli and i was completely lost for words..it's so important that fresh ingredients are used for dim sum items and i must say this place has managed to set some standards..




i had thought this was some sea corals dish when it was served..hehe but it's actually shrimp siu-mai.. again, very fresh ingredients were used and they tasted like they just came out right from the steamer..



the above came up to RM68 and the portions were just nice for two people, including two cups of hot chinese tea..is it expensive? ..hmmm, for a place like empire, maybe yes, maybe not but i'd say it is still good value for money especially when one gets fresh & nice tasting food..



and oh...my visit to empire would never be complete without a cup of coffee at O'briens and their must have packet of irish potato chips..kekekeke
