Cuti-cuti Malaysia || Batu Feringghi, Penang || Day 1

 

So..it's that time of the year again.. what time you may ask?? School break time!! eventhough little Adam is not in the schooling category, but my nephews and niece are..so had to wait for school break for a family vacay.. the place? where else?? food heaven, Penang!! I had so much planned for this vacation but didn't anticipated on the crowd.. every little itinerary were slashed last minute due to traffic jam..

the first and foremost must have as we arrive the island is Nasi Kandar.. our favourite place is Yasmeen Nasi Kandar in Penang Road..the shop is just next to the Nasi Kandar Line Clear..it is said that they are brothers.. only Yasmeen's is in an air conditioned shop while Line Clear is an open air joint.. some said that Line Clear is much more cheaper.. but I can't comment on that.. I went for their most-impossible-to-get-in-KL telur sotong.. yummy yummmm.. not every shop selling Nasi Kandar have this dish.. I can take just telur sotong and vege plus the most important thing is "kuah campur".. uhhhhh.. heaven...lepastu tangan berbau sampai esok pagi.. pastu rase nak makan lagi dan lagi dan lagi.. just like the energizer battery..

After that we shoot to Batu Feringghi.. from there on we knew that most of our plan that whole trip need to be replanned because of the heavy traffic and crowd..it took us almost 2 hours to reach Batu Feringghi from Penang Road.. unfortunately as we arrived at the hotel our room is still unavailable.. some of the patrons still did not checked out yet that they can't make-up the room for us.. lousy service i must say even from a well known hotel..so note in our vacation planner.. this hotel is slash-out from our stay-in list..

this guys were having fun in the room

After settling down, some of us felt hungry again..instead of all going out.. my bro & dad went out to get food at Gurney Drive..it took them almost 3 hours to come back again to the hotel with food..hahahahah..

That nite we just stayed in apart from the usual Pasar Malam trip.. so i get what i wanted at the Pasar Malam and i think this whole week and next i would be enjoying their company..we ended the nite at almost midnite..

Baby Posters

Since little Adam was born, I promised myself that i would capture every day of his life.. bhahahahha!! i failed! but I did manage to capture his important milestones for keepsake.. but all were scattered.. not scattered as in bersepah merata-rata.. but.. scattered in my hard disk and some in thumdrives.. merata laaa..

One day I came across a blog & facebook of a lady who designs baby birth posters.. she even do other kind of posters.. contact her.. agreed on the designs and wallaaaaaah!! little Adam posters..

Makan - Makan || Nasi Arab Damsyik, Senawang

One fine day, my big bro invited us for a dinner at one of the joint near his house.. Seremban! since it's working Monday and Mr. AZ went for Umrah, we planned that my father fetched me at the office after my sis came back from work.. they finally arrived at my office at almost 6.30 pm..

After Maghrib and freshen-up at the brother's house, we shoot-up to Senawang..it took us quite sometime because of the Wesak Holiday traffic the next day.. even taking the shortcut.. arrive there nicely as our stomach was growling like crazy.. luckily SIL called up the restaurant to reserve a table for us.. they took our order (my bro & SIL did this since they are familiar with the place).. our food came couple of minutes later.. whoooaaaahhh!! what a service.. 

the place

the food menu

the drinks menu

the food & drink

they're food were ordered based on portion.. but keep in mind that they're portion are just the same as any arabian portion.. big! the meat (chicken and lamb) was so so tender.. and the rice..ohhhh! to die for.. little Adam enjoyed it very much.. even little Sara get to taste the rice.. moist and creamy rice..it was long grain rice.. the chili and yoghurt were traditionally taste with a malay adaptation.. a little bit spicy.. for drinks, they've dried-up of fresh juices so we opted for box juices and their traditional tea.. the tea was the normal Lipton tea.. but they infuse it with a little taste of mint.. my mom enjoyed the tea but she said it was not enough because of the small glass provided..

hot shai


the place

it was suitable for family since you can choose to sit indoors or out.. but from my view indoors were quite full.. no privacy at all.. but i don't know bout the sitting upstairs..

waiting to be seated



aftermath



the location

i don't know the exact location.. but it was the same route to Kuala Pilah from Senawang PLUS exit.. it is near to a Madrasah.. this is the address :

     No. 1, Taman Bougainvillea,

     Jalan Senawang-Paroi,

     70400 Seremban

     Tel : 014 - 265 7313/ 012 - 933 5495

the price

for 9 person eating with 3 wahid serving lamb and Khamsa chicken + lamb set.. 2 boxes of juice.. and a pot of hot shai, the bill came up to almost RM150.. so still affordable ehh??

the verdict

we agreed in the car on our way back home, it really was worth the trip!

Hari Belia Negara 2011

So.. okay I guess sumer orang dah tau pasal Hari Belia Negara 2011.. where they aimed to kumpul 1 juta belia in Putrajaya.. the idea is great but the venue is so not!! and the day of celebration.. Putrajaya is an office district.. summore when you close most of the road especially on a working day.. it was a living hell!!

Most of the staff of my office came late that morning..all because of the road closure.. we were promised that our office parking sticker or our office pass is good enough for our entrance to the office since our block situated just beside KBS (we share the same road).. but i guess that information wasn't passed down to the person incharge of the traffic on the day.. so most of our staff was stopped by traffic officers.. 

The same thing happened during lunch hour.. since it's Friday, most of the staff went home.. and they got stopped again.. even during going back was jammed!! all because of tthhere's a certain flagged-off ceremony.. but why did they have to do it during peak hours?? why can't they do it earlier?? I'm still confuse..

Hopefully.. if they were to plan this kinda big Hari Belia again next year maybe should be thinking of other places.. no more Putrajaya please..

But the activities were quite okay.. these series are picture of some of the activities.. but only until Friday evening..

this was taken on Wednesday
