Observations Of A Food Blob (5)

Have you ever wondered (if you haven't already), in this world gone mad, what safety precautions we can take to make it safer for ourselves and our loved ones? Well, here are some which hopefully can help :
1) Walk facing the oncoming traffic to minimise the risk of being caught unawares by snatch thieves. If you have to carry a bag or something, carry it on the side away from the traffic.
2) Be unpredictable. Do alter your daily routine so that whoever is observing your daily activities would not be able to predict your next move. Do not always use the same route to and from your work place so that you would not get "ambushed" on your way to and from work.
3) Try not to show clear and obvious signs that there is no one at home. Maybe you can leave the radio or television on if you are going out for a few hours or unplug the phone to make it look like someone is home chatting over the phone. If you are going to be away for a few days, try to arrange with your neighbour to collect your mail or newpapers. Heck, give them permission to hang their washings over at your front porch if they want to when you are away.
4) Arrange a set of special codes with your children so that when you call them up on their mobile phones, you will know their actual situation. Eg. : if your child says "I am fine" it means "I am in danger" or if your child says "I am coming home now" it means "I am alright".
5) Never ever leave your car keys inside the car unattended with the engine running and with your child in it. You may think it is only for a minute or two while you nip inside the store but a minute or two is all it takes for somebody to drive away your car with your child and your other belongings.
6) Always have your eyes on your child when you go out shopping or something. As far as possible, keep a firm grip on your child so that child snatchers would think twice about abducting your child.
7) If you are involved in a fender bender, do not stop and get out from your car (especially if you are a female). Instead, drive straight to the nearest police station and sort things out there.

Restoran Dan Nasi Ayam Kam Kee, Chinatown, KL

After checking into our hotel in the Bukit Bintang area, we decided to lunch in Chinatown. And, as it's been some time since we last had chicken rice of any sort, we popped into Restoran Dan Nasi Ayam Kam Kee for some. Oooh....'hou sik' nya. The steamed chicken is moist and tasty. Cuz also gave her roast chicken the thumbs up. The rice, too, is very fragrant. As for the 'suen choy', everyone agreed it is one of the best we've ever tasted. Just the right combination of spicy and sour. Can easily down a whole bowl.....or two....myself, heh, heh.
Restoran Dan Nasi Ayam Kam Kee is located at Jalan Sultan in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur.

Chung Hwa Curry Laksa Restaurant, Batu Caves

Since we happened to be in the Batu Caves area one fine day, we decided to stop at random at one of the coffee shops in Taman Sri Gombak for breakfast. Apparently, we made the right choice. We were hit by the most wonderful aroma the moment we stepped foot into the shop. Wow.....it's their very popular curry laksa. Not to be left out, we quickly placed our orders for the curry laksa, a noodle soup and a nasi lemak. Oooh.....the curry laksa tasted as good as it smelled. The curry was thick and creamy. Very fragrant. Big portion too. The noodle soup was equally good too. Flavourful. Ho chiak. The nasi lemak would be good too if the chicken rendang was fragrant enough. As it is, the chicken rendang was a bit of a let down. Looked good but doesn't taste as good lor.
Chung Hwa Curry Laksa Restaurant is a corner shop located at Jalan Sg 3/1, Taman Sri Gombak, Batu Caves.

A child's debt to his/her parents can never be fully repaid in one lifetime. Agree with me?

Roast Duck (Restoran Sun Yeong Wai, Ipoh)

Roast duck....ahhh.....one of my favourite food. The roast duck from Restoran Sun Yeong Wai, Ipoh is one of the best I've ever tasted. Very flavourful, yum, yum. The meat is not chewy (just nice for this old jaw of mine, heh, heh) while the skin is crispy. Can eat half a duck by myself. A bit on the expensive side when it comes to the price but.......still worth it.
One of the restaurant's branches is located at Jalan Medan Ipoh 6, Bandar Baru Medan Ipoh near Tesco.
