..eeeeekss..

had a visit from my aunt last night..

the one that i sent a paper crane to the last time when she was still here in the physical sense...yeah2, that one..

it was around 3am when i saw her floatingly approaching my bed (how come i could see her when i'm all covered under my comforter?? do i have special see-thru eyes..hmmm), she tugged at and pulled down my comforter a bit and then went ....


..BOO !!


i wasnt scared lah..so used to these other worldly visits already...so i actually strained open my left eye to look at her, just to confirm it's my aunt and not somebody else who might have gotten the wrong address..luckily hor, i wasnt naked..so malu only if i was...kakakakakaka

it was her alright...and i said to her..aiyooo, we all miss you so much you know..and she just decided to float away, i think she no believe me lo..haih, next time hor, i shall make ready a pot of tea and invite her to stay for a longer chat..

นี้อร่อยมาก..

thought you had clicked on the wrong link kah?.....kekekekeeke. i just used google translate to do the above, hehe..so easy to write in another language hor but of course may not perhaps sound totally appropriate to a native thai speaker..let's hope i did not spew out anything vulgar up there...hahahaaha and no there isn't gonna be any thai porn shown here either.. :OP

actually i just wanted to say..."you get real authentic thai dishes at truly affordable prices...at Baan Ruen Thai restaurant."





this thai seafood fried rice (K̄ĥāw p̄hạd xāh̄ār thale..) is so nice. i think they used really high grade jasmine rice to fry..you can almost smell the fragrant aroma just by looking at the pic, no? and the seafood ingredients were rather fresh i must say..









deep fried shrimps (Kûng thxd..). again very fresh shrimps used..i like it that they used bread crumbs instead of batter as the shrimps remained crispy even after some time..



and of course, never forget the always delectable but often abused vegetable, no it's not the cucumber..aiyoo..it's kang kung lah (N̂ả p̄hạk k̄hom p̄hạd..?), this one fried with just garlic and i think they must have used fish sauce too coz it was so tasty i gobbled everything up..



the above dishes with steam rice and two drinks came to only RM39.00 !! talk about unbelievable value for money..good food, great taste, cheap price !!

and so where is this gem of a place located? on the ground floor of menara pgrm in cheras actually and not in thailand..location-wise not a very cleverly visible place unless one lives around that area coz it's hidden from view..

and they have nice tables on the outside verandah where you can just enjoy the food and watch the world go by peacefully without getting knocked down suddenly by passing traffic accidentally..hahaha..

..oh no..

lizards...!!


..eeeks i hate them..!! i really do.

they are so scary to look at...almost like a miniature crocodile !! and lately, i think they've been scouring my utensils at my office pantry licking off any food remnants that might have been left behind, despite having washed them.. and just now as i walked into my pantry to get my lunch, i saw a big bad mommy lizard about to jump onto my plastic food container and chomp2 away at my food !! she being so big, she could just have bitten off the plastic to get at the food..

..and yesterday, i had a really severe and sudden tummy runs..wahhh..almost lost it there but made it just in time to sit on the throne before all hell broke loose !! preagghhhkkk !! pragh2 !! fuit!! fuit !! fuit !! now i suspect it must have been mommy lizard walking and leaving her saliva all over my forks & spoons at night while foraging for food.. eeeeekks !!

i am gonna get me a big cowboy gun (water pistol lah...) and wait and then shoot at it the next time...arrrggghhhhhh!! i hate lizards..hate hate hate...





<----- ahpooki's gonna come get you !!

so, this is how the other side..

lives..

so hor, i took my poohki sportz koup out for a spin with a friend yesterday and we decided to visit a very exclusive enclave in bangsar (dont play2 ok..) for dinner..we drove up, down, in out the car park in slo-mo fashion so everyone could go gaga but actually we could not find a parking space lah..and you know hor, every lot was taken up either by a mercedes, bmw, lexus, mini coopers and cars that i dont even know the names of..wah wee..luckily hor, got one nepali guard so enamoured with ahpooki's sporty koup that he decided to let me park at the valet parking spot..right at the front porch of the entrance to the shopping centre...and of coz, ahpooki's sporty koup got all the attention it deserves lo..kekekeke



anyway, we walked walked a bit and pretended like we were some rich folks out for a casual shopping spree...looking at abstract art pieces in a gallery, checking out branded goods that we never even heard of and passed little remarks like.."Ooo..that's cheap.." and then we got tired of pretending and decided we should go eat something..trying to "live" that stiff upper life can be so tiring and famishing..hahaha

we saw one very expensive looking japanese restaurant and was about to walk in but decided against it when we saw a note on the glass door that said, "rest assured our fish come from everywhere else but fukushima"....aiyoh, i thought, hmm, i dont know but that did not sound too reassuring coz fukushima has the nicest & freshest fish in the whole wide world, no? ..so anyway, we decided on a chinese restaurant instead...

first up was this appetiser..



i had thought it was a plate of freshly cut grass (mana tahu kan, maybe eating grass is the in-thing to do nowadays..)..but it's actually shredded seaweed with chicken meat floss..the slightly sweet crunchy crispy seaweed combined rather well with the salty floss ....except, we were a bit too hill-billy so could not eat politely and left most of them seaweed splattered, to which we quickly brush off the table so nobody would notice..hehehe




then came these entrees...





this one was really nice, fresh squid with bits & pieces of spice/herbs & whatever..of course anything deep fried is nice to me..












we did not like this one. supposed to be bak-choy from hong kong..hmmm..found it way too dry (maybe it was preserved bak-choy..hehe) but we pretended like it was some haute cuisine and made some approving nods as the waitresses walked by..










my friend ordered this and i was like...eeeeeeww..ribs..eeeeks. i was forced to take a bite and later that night as i said a prayer before i slept, i asked for forgiveness from miss piggy..










now, this one i like...3 combination steamed eggs..i think it was duck egg, chicken egg and century egg..this one my friend did not like.. told me how century eggs are made...that is by mixing chicken poop with the yolk..that's why the color looks like shit !! whatever...it was nice tasting poop anyway..hahahaha





so..our adventure was soon over and we were rm 106 poorer after that meal..we could not finish the food and asked for a doggy bag..my friend's mom was one happy dog that night...kakakakakakaka..

and now it's back to yum2 instant noodle days for ahpooki...wheeeeeeeee

king for a day i was....hehe

ahpooki's....

lamparghini...i..i mean lamborghini...



my hot rod..wheeeeeeeee...havent really taken it for a spin on the highway yet but a whiz round the neighborhood left dust floating onto some old aunties' hair at the market..heheheehe. this car is fast man, really, really fast..


and if looks could kill..this baby actually left every man, woman and child (plus all the uncles & aunties..) in freeze motion yesterday as it went blazing through the neighborhood with ahpooki at the wheels...and his wonder girls blaring out their nobody2 but you through the sun-roof..kekekeke


i am so gonna enjoy this car..hmm but where go ah?? must think of a place where i can do 0 - 60 in 3 seconds...

good ambience, ok food, but not very..

good location leh..i think

went to this new place that just opened recently..it wasnt our intended place but since it looked kinda groovy from the outside, we decided to brave the crowd and squeezed ourselves in there..

traffic was not too heavy going in, surprising, considering that it is a brand new mall..could be that not too many people knew about that place..but once inside, we kinda understood why there weren't that many people there..

half the mall were basically filled with mostly furnishing shops..beddings lah, kitchen things lah, home improvements lah, etc..etc..with the few token food outlets on the ground & lower ground floors plus a number of stalls selling nick-knacks and basically another half of the mall that were not yet occupied...so at this moment, it was more like a family oriented mall..

anyway, we decided to try out a new foodie place..a strange looking little place seen from the outside with the tables & chairs that looked a bit feminine & flowery but one look on the menu told us the food just might be nice..

so..these were what we had..


nice macaroons esp the tiramisu one. the orange one was way too sweet for my liking..








nice potato platter except the roundish thingy wasnt that great..but overall, we found the potatoes quite fresh, and the dip was not bad either..







my friend had this pizza..i took a slice..taste was nice, cheese toppings were just about right but would have been nicer if there was a thin crust version..











now..this one wasnt so great though..the onion rings and the spring rolls were ok but the chicken wings had one of those frozen smell/taste to it so i stopped eating after one bite..





ok..now this one was kinda nice...the nacho chips were flaky & crispy and light..i loved it..but a little more cheese on it would have been nice. i was scrapping the plate for some left-over cheese that were stuck to it..but the guacamole & salsa were a bit flat..still, the light crispy chips used kinda made up for that shortfall..

..paid rm95-00 for the above including two fancy drinks..i had iced mango tea with cubes of real mangoes in them..which was really cool.

anyhow, next time, i should really try to avoid ordering all those crispy fried foods and go more for pasta or soupy stuffs...

this has got to be..

..the tastiest instant noodles i have ever had !!

and of course, it can only come from the land of smiles, the city of angels to be exact..

ladies & gentlemen, i present to you...Yum Yum Green Curry Flavor Instant Noodles..wheeeee


the taste is unlike any other brands, with the correct balance of spiciness and crunchy, stringy noodles..and it's quite simple to make..just follow ahpooki's recipe/methodology (in previous posts) and you can have the nicest yummy instant noodles in under 5 minutes..hehe




and...if you add a bit of fresh ingredients like a piece of chopped up NZ portobello mushroom, a bit of fresh red pepper, fishballs and an egg..you can have a bowl of green curry noodles that tastes & looks even better than what can be served in any fancy thai restaurants...



my phone camera settings were not too proper..the real thing looked a whole lot better than what you see here..hehe






so..if you're into instant noodles like i am on a regular basis and you are tired of all those other noodles that pretend to look good on the packing, claim to be nice but taste totally awful when prepared, go on now, and i mean right this minute, to the nearest jaya jusco supermarket and grab yourself the most heavenly tasting instant noodles on this side of the world...before they are all gone !!



they come in a pack of 5s..make sure you see those thai inscriptions on the packing so as to ensure you get the real authentic yum yum brand thai instant noodles, made in bangkok thailand.. kekekekekeke
