Memoir of a Rojak Gal: March 2012

Foods in Japan!

Paper pot shabu-shabu! It's really amusing that the paper won't get burn or leak

Huge strawberries and it's super duper sweet.

The freshness and sweetness is incomparable even with those imported strawberries that we get here.

To rest our legs after so much of walking, we love to stop by at the coffee shops.

Green tea latte

Sushis!!!

Why our local sushi chain don't have this?!

Urchins and it's fresh!

I've tried not-so-fresh urchins and it really taste really horrible. My dream is to eat urchin straight from its shell after catching it from the sea. =)

Local eggplant

Salmon with mayo

Sushi Display

Portuguese Tart

We saw people queuing for the tart so it must be not bad.

Heavenly indeed!

I haven't been to Macau but this is totally different from the ones back in Malaysia

Osaka's retail and restaurants display are super vibrant

A fugu restaurant

No idea what they are trying to sell with this grouchy looking chef

Crab

A Takoyaki stall

Big chunk of octopus for Takoyaki

Takoyaki

A popular noodle chain stall

More to come after this.. :)

Videos of Japan

This is me cooking Fugu (puffer fish) shabu-shabu, the meat is still moving when served!

This is the toilet in our room, it's creepy. see why i said so.

Japanese School Girl Group
And I thought Korea's Girls Generation has too many members. I think the skirt pulling action is kinda funny.

Pedestrians @ Ebisu Bridge
Just taking random videos of the Japanese people
Most people are wearing either black or brown, is this a winter fashion?

1 Day Trip to Teluk Intan (Diamond Bay)

The reason that we made this trip was because Teluk Intan was both my mom & hubby's hometown but we haven't been back for years.

The drive to Teluk Intan is about 2.5-3 hours from Kuala Lumpur.

Our first stop is at the Jalan Maharani's hawker stalls.

Lots of stall here @ Jalan Maharani

Family :)

Nasi kunyit with char siew. Nice but the char siew is a too fatty.

a typical Teluk Intan's chili sauce. It's more watery that the ones in KL

Soy milk stall @ Jalan Maharani

This is supposed to be famous but I found it pretty average.

Local fruits @ Jalan Maharani

Local fruits are really cheap here. It's about half of the price that we pay in KL.

Wet market near Jalan Maharani

Black cat for sale?

Coffee @ a random coffee shop

My mom says Teluk Intan's coffee is the best. It's thick and has a strong aroma, but it's too sweet for my taste. From my experience, most of the small town's drinks are usually too sweet.

This coffeeshop sells pastries too.

The famous Rojak Ah Chai

All the newspaper cuttings of this little Rojak stall.

Rojak Ah Chai

The prawn crackers was super crunchy and there are a lot of fruits in this rojak.

I would prefer the Penang's rojak over this cause I prefer the sauce with lots of prawn paste.

The famous Menara Condong of Teluk Intan

Moms

Do shop for Teluk Intan's heong pneah

We spent a whole day at Teluk Intan and it's really nothing much to do here so went to Rapid Mall which is the largest mall in Teluk Intan. At Rapid Mall, we shopped at Giant, had foot massage, chill at Sushi King, then Mcdonalds.
