of aquarium and laksa...

this is another backdated post. suppose to post it last night.

If I can give a theme to last weekend, i'd probably called it 'biting off more than I can chew'.
Take 1:
Friday nite. It was about 9 plus pm and I was feeling a bit hungry. Wifey suggested that I go out to enjoy myself with some sup kambing. Sounded like a good idea, so I headed down to kassim mustafa. When I got there, I thought i'll just ta pau instead since I hate enjoying myself without wifey around and i'll miss her (actually I parked illegally and wasn't sure if i'll block someone, but it sounded sweeter that way). Anyway, remembering that the sup kambing comes in relatively small bowls, I went ahead and ordered two bungkus. But when I got them, I thought, 'shoot! If I managed to finish them, my tummy will be as big as (if not bigger than) wifey's!'. The packets are HUGE!!!
Have a look at it, this is only one packet after I poured it out.

Not wanting to waste and always up for a challenge, I went for the second pack after I finished the first. What a mistake it was. As if there is a switch somewhere, the once yummy taste of the sup kambing turned yucky and I had to give up. Needless to say, my tummy felt like an aquarium.

Take 2:
After what seemed like an eternity of not having laksa, wifey and I went out for laksa at the stall behind penang plaza for lunch today. At rm2 for a tiny bowl, it's not cheap. But when it's that good, the brain will have a temporary amnesia of one's wallet. Anyway, me being a slow learner, ordered a second bowl before I barely finished the first (one on top of the fried popiah and cucor udang). Needless to say, I was again a walking aquarium this afternoon. I've only manage to get an 'after' shot.

Sorry, I'm a bit kancheong and lost memory of other tasks when faced with good food. So, no photos of the yummy laksa.

of biscuits and jelutong...

Recently, I found out about this place that makes really really yummy ‘old wife biscuit’ or better known as ‘lo poh bing’. If you still dunno what I am talking about, just scroll down and look at the photo. It all started when an office colleague bought some during his lunch break and shared some with us. I dunno which was the bigger mistake, him sharing or us eating the biscuits. Coz, I am hooked toe moment I took a bite into it.
Anyway, the thing I like about the biscuits are that the crust are soft (but not soggy) and it breaks easily in your mouth when you bite into it (but not powdery/flaky). And then the filling is very tasty without being too sweet and most importantly not too sticky. But quality do comes with a price, the biscuits costs rm1 each. We bought 4 for ourselves and 4 for wifey’s parents last Saturday bet ended up keeping all 8 to ourselves. Then we went and bought some more last Monday.

If you are interested to check them out, the shop is located near the newly built shop houses near the Jelutong expressway. If you are traveling from town heading to bayan baru on the JE, then you shouls be able to see the shop houses right before you reach the old jelutong garbage disposal area. There is a small junction that turns to the left from the highway. Since most of the shophouses are still vacant, you should have no problem finding the shop. Oh ya, the shop’s name is Best Bites.
