Delectable cupcakes by Su

On a weekend that was furthest away from sleep and quiet, Buu and I hopped over to MidValley to catch a glimpse of the Devil who was waging a war against the Orks with his miniatures. It's interesting how the minis come to life by a rolling of some dices.


Even to bystanders like us, who knew nuts about it in the first place, the game was engrossing. We stayed for a bit till it was time for us to gravitate back to reality again as duty calls out crisp and clear on a Saturday morn. bah.

Despite that, I needed my getaway from those mundane madness. With fleeting steps, we whirled our way to an elegant shop nestled in the Gardens for a dose of ediporn.

Fish Head Noodles @ Woo Pin, Tmn Desa

Growing up, my idea of fish head noodles has always been the clear soup kind with lots of salted vege and tomatoes.

I was only introduced to the milky kind when I started studying in KL. It took me some time to get accustomed to this richer tasting version of fish head noodles, with fried fish and evaporated milk enriched broth.



Woo Pin at Taman Desa offers a nice version of this. I didn't stumble upon this shop, of course. I've done some research earlier and there were some good reviews on it.

It was the most leisurely Saturday I've had by myself in months and I'd been dying to visit the 100 yen shop some tens of steps away from Woo Pin. Thus, it seemed to be an excellent idea to pop over for lunch after the spree.




Order was fast and much to my delight, the piping bowl of hot noodles was dished out within 10 mins of ordering. I was also given to choose my own chillies to go with the noodles, which were either chopped chillies or belacan chilli. The latter was pungent enough and proved to be a great accompaniment to the noodles.

Woo Pin's fame is well-earned as its fish head noodle's broth was wholesomely sweet. I like the fact that there were plenty of chopped tomatoes and salted vege which lent the soup its tanginess. The fried shallots, spring onions and coriander also made nice condiments to the soup. Just for declaration sake, I love coriander!

The fried fish was very fresh as well and I was given 3 or 4 humongous pieces to devour on. I noticed that its vermicelli didn't go limpid or soggy after some time and that was definitely a plus point.

mmm... I'm hungry again just by typing this post. That said, I'll be going back again for more helpings hopefully soon. and with Buu or cuzz in tow. hehe.

Nice food should always be shared, innit?

Quack lunch

Lunch date was a quack. So I came home and fixed myself a simple lunch instead. Turned out it wasn't a bad idea after all. Got to put one of my new gifts to use - the duck mold.

It looks healthy, doesn't it? Egg on pumpkin seed bread, carrot sticks, salad with raisins and cashews.

Missing from the pikcher, however, was a few strips of roasted honey bacon from Loong Kee, SS2! Hehe, cuzz bought a pack for himself today and got another surprise pack from his admirer later in the noon. Such coincidence! He generously shared it with me. Yumz! Artery clogging goodness is so hard to turn down. It was obscenely decadent and owh.. the sticky crisp parts were my fave.

Happy monday, y'all!

Domo-kun Hash Browns - Phailed

While waiting for his snoring majesty (the cuzz) to stir from his sleep this morning, I ran through my usual blog roll routine. Anna the Red caught my immediate focus with this attention-grabbing headline:

"How to Make Domo-kun Croquettes"

Hic. I almost hyperventilated on the spot.

Domo-kun's like, [INSERTS rabid fan rave]. Yah, i worship him.

In case anyone wanna know more about Domo-kun (どーもくん,) , point your cute mousie and clickety-click.

Sooo, I decided to replicate them as a surprise for Mr Buu whom I'll be 'forsaking' for the coming 3 days due to another work trip outstation. Except plans hardly turn out the way I want 'em.

You see, I went out with the cuzz for brekkie this morning. And reached home only at 5 pm.

Then hor... Mr Buu knocked off at 6 pm. Geddit geddit? I only have 1 freaking hour to work with on top of delivery!

Siow liow.... o_O"

There there, a thrown-off-the-track me ditched all the initial plans and dove from croquettes to ---->

hash browns

[I know, store bought hash brown sibeh not sincere (-_-"). I... I.... promise to make Buu-san the original croquettes soon]

Fast forward to 40 mins later...

And now, may I present to you my Domo-kun babies:

Gomen-nasai!! T_T

Terengganu- 1 Day Stopover

An anachronistic turn of events had me sitting on my first plane ride heading for the east coast. Virginal experience comes in pairs, as it was also the first time I set my less travelled feet atop the Land of Turtles and one day later, the Land of Full Moon.

Here are a few morning shots which I took from my room in Terengganu:





What better way to start the day by admiring this beautiful stretch of beach... nature's grandeur that stokes the primal sense of wanderlust. Ahh.. wouldn't I love to throw away my mundane obligations and soak in this carefree spirit of endless roaming? Oh, I would.. I would. Even if it's just for a day.

Strapped with duties, my first and only day here was regretfully spent with roadshows. Left with scarcely any time to explore the Land of Turtles, I can only hope to return some day soon. Next time round, I'll definitely put Pasar Payang on top of my must-go list aside from the keropok lekors and other local foods I missed. Rest assure, I will...

Watch out for my Kelantan series in the coming few posts. Meanwhile, have a great weekend at that!
