Jalan2 Cari Makan: Wantan Mee Variety

I was browsing some blogs and read about how much the blogger bragged about the wantan mee stall at Church Street, opposite Peranakan Heritage centre. The kopitiam has the same name as the budget hotel, ENG LOH.

Surprisingly, my sister had been there for lunch. According to her, the place is famous for its variety.

So, here we go.
We went, and the other friend who came along was pretty excited on our way.
As soon as we reached the destination, she went like, "THIS ONE??"
Darn.... big dissapointment for all, because she has been to the place, except me.

So, there we go.
We ordered some toasts with half boiled eggs (RM2.80) and interesting roti taiwan (RM3.20) which happened to be toast with lots of butter, peanut butter and nuts.

If you have high cholestrol, don't ever try it. But if you are a peanut butter lover (me, me, me), please do try !! It's really good and thick!!
I love it!!













As when my friend took out her Nikon, the wantan mee owner thought that we are some columnist, and going to do a write up about the place and post it on the internet.
She kept insisting us to take picture, in mandarin.
According to another friend, they are from KL (gee.. penang food? from kl?? argghh... i'm cheated!!!).
The sui kow which they claimed to be super good -> hm.. i told her she should put more 'prawns', but she went like, it's only RM0.70 per piece!!
What made their wantan mee so special was it was made out of only flour and egg (no water added). But then again, I don't make noodles, so I don't really know if in actual fact, water is added.

Drunken chicken which is supposed to be famous (RM3.50)
But I dont' really like drunken chicken :P

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...

Vacation nightmare

I was dreaming as if I was in Sentosa. The beach was beautiful and I tried capturing the scenery with my digicam. Sunset was colorful. We were in the closed up area and a few of my friends and I began to pose while getting the staff to take pics for us. We posed quite long for them. Shots don't seem to be good. The scene suddenly changed into a bedroom scene with my sis. There was a great disaster. The enemies had come. With just one blow from his mouth, the bridge was changed into wooden bridge (like Terabithia). They came to destroy by placing the bottle of ketchup (what the??!?) at every spot. We tried to strategize. OOps......... and the dream just died.

Monday Movie Day - Mamma Mia

Finally, after being a nuffnanger for 3 months, I was invited for a free movie at GSC Gurney. Thanks, nuffnang. Again and again. Free movie for 3. Thanks. :D The blogger community was exceptionally quiet compared to the usual cinema crowd. Perhaps, maybe, they only TALK in their blog. I dont' know. Even as we were watching a few minutes of the silent movie, there were not a single 'hoo-ing' or banana-throwing at the screens. I was looking hard to see if I know anyone. I guess it's just 5xmom with her anti-ISA tshirt. Hm.. Somewhat, after watching the movie, I felt that it was just morally so wrong. Am I too rational? 1. How can one has 3 fathers? Shouldn't they do a DNA check first? 2. Does that mean it's alright sleeping with 3 men one after another and get pregnant and raise the child in an island? 3. It seemed ok for the daughter to just call off the wedding. 4. And, the pastor actually solemnized their wedding just like that? They don't even need to att...
