In Our Own Backyard

Selama ni tak pernah pon tau that KLCC ader show dancing water.. Alaa.. yang macam dekat Las Vegas.. 

Kalau pegi oversea.. tempat-tempat macam ni la yang jadi attention tapi.. malunya when show dekat negara sendiri pon taktau ada..

So.. please do visit KLCC fountain area.. sebab show die daily sampai pukul 10 malam.. during my visit.. the water dancing to the oldies beat.. macam kain pelikat.. and all that sort laa..

Kalau ikut Adam.. nak stay all through the show.. tapi ramai nye orang and somemore ramai pulak yang berasap rokok.. so.. just tengok one round kat fountain area.. and then tengok kejap dekat kids area kinokuniya sambil cari new reading book for Adam..

Makan - Makan || Azeezah Al-Ansar Steakhouse, Keramat

I still remember the first time I had my chicken chop here.. not in the current shop.. they've move to 2 more different shop before moving on to the current spot.. My first time was with my sister riding a bike at night.. My sister is a friend to the owners' niece.. That night we had a special treatment..

From there on.. me and the family would always go there for a nice chicken chop.. we love the chicken batter..

They started with just a couple of dish and their main is chicken chop.. from there on they innovate and added a couple more dish.. but I will always order the chicken chop..

sizzling chicken chop - RM13

Penangan Kopi

Last night I had this urged untuk meng"kopi".. Usually Adam takkan minum kopi or tea.. tapi malam tadi 2-2 kopi & black tea dier minum..

Hasilnya.. I woke up at 2 in the morning.. Adam still terkebil-kebil tak boleh tido.. Nasib baik its the weekend.. Kalau tidak memang halal tak pegi sekolah lah..

Reliable

It has been quite some time that I took the public transport.. For me the only reliable public transport is the one that involve rail tracks.. Sadly.. on the road punya public transport adalah agak susah sikit.. teksi tu okla sikit..

Once in a while best jugak naik public transport ni.. other than sampai awal sikit dari biasa.. get to people watching anddddd.. dapat buat banyak pit stop.. eheheheh..

Makan - Makan || Kebab Turki Baba Rafi, Putrajaya

Satu hari lepas Dude picke me up from the office.. dier cakap lapar.. remembering that somewhere near the office ade bukak kiosk.. Ajakla dier stop situ and membeli..

Rupanya kebab.. he bought 2.. 

Yang bestnyer kotak kebab tu.. innovative betol.. Kirenye tak payah comot-comot nak keluarkan kebab from the box.. just pull paper lever tu.. and kebab pon keluar.. and ngapp!!

Tapi daging kebab tu processed meat.. I prefer the real meat.. so kebab ni not to my liking.. Tapi Dude sedap je makan..

Colourful

Adam have this obsession with M&M's chocolate.. Adam panggil M&M's as Irresistable Chocolate.. Kalau pegi kedai memang selalu kene poww la..  Memang hantu chocolate la.. sampai kene sorok.. So sekarang whatever upah untuk Adam adalah dalam bentuk M&M's..

Makan - Makan || Medan Ikan Bakar Pantai Jeram, Selangor

Dah plan lama dah nak makan seafood.. tapi asyik tak jadi je.. so one day kitorang just redah.. Dude suggest to move early nak elak the crowd.. after Asar kitorang pon bertolak menghala ke Jeram.. took LATAR expressway..

From review dapat tau the best seafood place is Aroma Ikan Bakar.. Memang aim nak pegi situ.. Sadly, masa sampai terlalu pack sampai kensel plan sebab tengok orang beratur nak pilih seafood & order panjang sangat-sangat.. Ingatkan awal rupanya dah lambat.. So, kitorang moved to the next place.. dekat sebelah je.. Medan Ikan Bakar Pantai Jeram..

Masa sampai tu most of the tables dah taken.. Ada table yang kosong tapi reserved.. Tapi Dude just pegi pilih seafood & order while Adam & I cari tempat.. By the time Dude settle order baru kitorang dapat seat.. itupon sebab ada orang dah nak balik..

Masa order seafood the person in-charge akan bagi card with number.. nanti tukang ambik order air & makanan tambahan akan catat nombor tu.. selepas itu sila tunggu dengan penuh kesabaran..

beratur untuk pilih seafood

Tunggu dalam setengah jam jugak.. kira dah cukup laju for that kind of crowd..

udang bakar

chilli crab

sotong goreng tepung

sweet sour fish

As for the food.. the taste so-so je.. tapi the freshness memang tak boleh nak deny.. memang fresh habis.. ketam tu?? isi memang sedap la.. ikan sweet sour tu pulak dah digoreng awal.. so x garing and dah sejuk.. tapi macam pelik sebab ikan tu sampai paling last.. hmmm.. tak taulah ape masalah. and sos sweet sour tu letak mixed vege.. fail big time!

Tapi ada one thing yang nak komen about the system there.. walaupon boleh reserved.. bagi la limit berapa lama boleh reserved the seat.. ada one big portion of table tu reserve tapi dari start kitorang sampai.. sampai dah balik still kosong.. kesian kat orang yang baru datang tapi takde seat..

Tapi next trip to Jeram mesti.. I repeat MESTI pergi makan dekat Aroma Ikan Bakar!!

Adam 1st Day of School in 2014

Adam started school on Wednesday.. he was okay and confident coming back as a senior that is.. to compare today with last year was a total breeze.. I just send him at the door and leave..

Makan - Makan || Jemari Cafe, Kelana Jaya

Dude was suggesting to try new place for lunch.. and he was heading towards Shah Alam.. and then I remembered of a friend suggesting Jemari.. Thanx to Waze it wasn't a problem to find the restaurant..

their colourful J

We just ordered our normal..

lychee iced tea & apple assam boi

kailan ikan masin

mixed tomyam

The tomyam is tasty but a little bit spicy.. full of flavour and is not stingy on the beef and chicken..

prawn fritters

padprik chicken

For me the padprik is so-so.. just like any normal padprik..

adam's ayam goreng kunyit

All in all the food was delicious.. wouldn't mind coming here again if I were on this side of the town.. but the price is in the higher side..

The next day after the akad nikah.. my cousin hosted a reception at the Kristal Hall, TM Convention Centre in Bangsar.. The food was okay but the company were terrific!! It was such a fun when gathering with the family.

Not much of pictures since Adam hogging my handphone.. only manage to take a couple picture at the entrance of the hall..
