Dah lama dah nak try makan Yati Ayam Percik.. Tapi ada je halangan.. So this work trip to Kelantan, I take the opportunity untuk makan jugak sini.. Since the 1st night hujan, and summore the hotel staff offer to their shuttle service to bring us here, kitorang pon macam orang mengantuk yang disorong bantal..
Sampai-sampai macam dah tak ramai orang, tapi banyak lagi ayam & ikan atas panggang.. I ordered chicken while the other 2 ordered fish.. to be eaten with nasi kerabu..
The portion is really big.. I can't even finished the rice.. tapi the ulams and all other condiments licin laa..
My verdict, taste wise memang sedap. Tapi I would prefer the fish better sebab my chicken was overcooked and burnt.. Didn't enjoy much.
Summore, flies are visible even in the air-conditioned room.. should do something to handle that problem..

So.. this time work brought me to Kota Bharu.. another Sunday out.. susahnyalah nak pujuk Adam.. Tapi got to do what you've got to do..
Takda apa sangat buat kat sana.. Just work and selitkan shopping sikit.. heh!
Dapatlah pergi Pasar Siti Khadijah for keropok & serunding shopping.. Ada jugak beli dodol.. some for the office and some for home.. sedaplah dodol dia..
colourful
Yang tak bestnya trip kali ni adalah hujan.. bukan tak best apa.. sebab tak boleh jalan lebih-lebih.. Lagipon tak boleh shop sangat sebab naik flight.. ada luggage limitation..
Introduced by a colleague.. It is said that they have lines and lines of lauk for lunch.. and all would be gone if we were late.. the star dish is their huge freshwater prawns.. And I'm gonna have that for lunch..
the price for my plate
But it was quite pricey.. but come to think of it.. maybe thats normal price for a huge prawn..
Price : its in a higher side or maybe its the dish that made the charges high Food : love the choices they have.. so very kampung style Service : not much to rate on Atmosphere : normal restaurant Cleanliness : clean Parking : depends on luck.. if you were lucky you will get a parking space on the first turn.. if not you need to do second or even third round..
Since dah ada kerja kat Kuantan and kene stay 2 malam, kitorang decide untuk makan seafood.. Mana lagi kalau bukan kat Tanjung Lumpur.. Tapi memang tak tau nak makan kedai mana.. So kitorang just stop kat the 1st kedai..
Super Top.. kedai memang luas and nampak meriah.. since pergi dengan bos, biar bos lah pilih makanan.. mind you, kitorang 3 orang je nak makan.. bos boleh order 3 ekor ketam masak telur masin, 2 ekor sotong besar goreng tepung, ikan pari sederhana bakar, tomyam and sayur campur goreng.. Serious macam feast je..
And as expected.. tak habis.. Tapi the food memang sedap especially ketam telur masin..

This time the work trip started on Sunday.. so, Dude sent me to the meet point together with Adam.. This was difficult.. Adam cried asking why am I leaving him behind.. eeheh.. and he said
"nanti malam Adam nak sleep hug sape?"
late evening on the east coast highway
Still.. had to go.. When we arrive at the hotel, it was already dark.. check-in, freshen up and we went out to search for dinner.. had a feast that night..
lovely afternoon
tea by the beach
The trip was full of activity apart from the work.. We went to Teluk Chempedak, have a tea by the beach, went to Kuantan Riverside to watch people fishing, saw turtle eggs being sold, having durian and having sotong goreng tepung for dinner..

A couple of colleagues came back from an outstation work to Kota Kinabalu and came back with a couple of kilos of freshwater prawns.. they were HE-UGE!! this is a what-ever-I-have-in-the-kitchen recipe.. so no specific measurements..
But Dude said it was delicious..
INGREDIENTS
freshwater prawns shallot - pounded
garlic - pounded
birds eye chili - pounded
shrimp paste - pounded
salt
sugar
PREPARATION
1. fry the freshwater prawns head first until partly cooked.
2. heat oil and fry the pounded shallot, garlic, birds eye chilli and shrimp paste until fragrant.
3. add in water.
4. add in salt and sugar to taste.
5. when the chili thickens, add in the freshwater prawns and wait until cooked.
It just so happen that I saw a tv commercial about Dinoscovery at Avenue K.. and I thought its a great activity for Adam since he have been going in and out of toy shops more that ever.. and kept on buying new toys.. So this week we change to a new activity..
We took the train (to Adam's request) to KLCC and went up to the 4th floor of Avenue K.. If you are unsure of where you're supposed to head to, just follow the dino's footsteps.. you will know that you're at the right place when you saw a half-bodied dinosaur
The entrance ticket is RM25 (adult) & RM35 (child) for Malaysian citizens.. once you enter, you would need some time to adjust your eyes to the dimly lit.. then the child is given a vest, headlight, RFID band and a map with stickers.. the adult were given only a vest.. You would look like a group of paleontologists that is ready for an adventure..
Adam was already being the normal Adam.. afraid of new environment and dark places.. what more with the dinosaur roaring.. he was scared to death and didn't want to continue the journey..
We were practically dragging him all the way to the end of the journey.. but he did like the part that he have to flash his band to the monitor at each dinosaur.. that's why there were no pictures during the journey.. there were also some game like paintball shooting where they get to shoot the dinosaur.. couple of pictures opportunity and they get to be a real paleontologist to discover dinosaurs bones.. at the end of the journey were a 3D movie on dinosaurs..
For me, the dinoscovery needs to add alot more activities other than what they have for now.. perhaps they could add a little more light in there?!
A date with couple of friends who happened to be in Penang as well.. Memang seronok dapat catch up dalam environment gitu.. relaxing.. dengan sekali sekala dengar bunyi kambing.. ehehehe..

I ordered sizzling black pepper lamb chop.. memang puas hati.. ade 2 cuts of lamb yang sangat besar.. almost tak habis.. tapi paksa jugak makan sebab dah orang belanja.. tapi kalau daging tu more tender would be much better.. otherwise its good..
