Food For Thought (30)

Free education. Is it a right or a privilege? I think free basic education (primary and secondary education) is a right but higher education is a privilege - a privilege that has to be earned. After all, did anyone say there is such a thing as a free ride or a free lunch? And did anyone say life is easy? Aaand.....would anyone appreciate something that lands on his/her lap just like that?

Ngap Kiok Pau, Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur

"Ngap Kiok Pau"........er........what's that? Direct translation - Duck Leg Pau. Actually, it is duck innards wrapped with the duck's leg. Even though it looks and sounds quite unappetising, it is really yum, yum lah. Erm....not quite the cup of tea for a person who doesn't eat innards of any kind lor. Can't exactly describe the taste here. Have to try it for yourself to know how it tastes like. And......Sze Ngan Chye at Jalan Petaling, Kuala Lumpur sells the best "Ngap Kiok Pau" I've ever tasted. I can easily eat half a dozen of his "Ngap Kiok Pau" in one go. That's how much I like it, heh, heh. Hmmm......I think it would go very well with beer, leh.

Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur

Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur orrr.......to be more specific, Jalan Sultan, Jalan Petaling and Jalan Hang Lekir. Ah yes, one of my favourite places in Kuala Lumpur. Love the atmosphere, love the food....erm....well, most of it, anyway, hah, hah. Can sit out in the open at one of the many food stalls and restaurants that can be found here. Or can 'ta pau' (take away). Personally, we prefer to sit out in the open to enjoy our food and soak up the atmosphere.

Observations Of A Food Blob (4)

Have you ever wondered (if you haven't already), why some people insist on stopping their vehicle inside the yellow box and thereby messing up the already choked traffic flow? What difference does it make if they stop their vehicle outside the yellow box rather than inside it? Will stopping inside the yellow box enable them to reach their destination faster? Is this what is called 'kiasu'? I call it extremely inconsiderate, very rude and plain selfish on the part of the person doing it. Orrrr......perhaps they don't have anything between their ears????

Will stopping inside the yellow box get these people to their destinations faster?

Lumut Nasi Kandar, Lumut

On our way home from Swiss Garden Golf & Spa Resort Damai Laut, we decided to detour to Lumut town for a spot of shopping........for ikan bilis and stuff like that lah. As we were feeling peckish after all the shopping, we decided to hop in to our favourite spot for lunch whenever we happened to be in Lumut .........Lumut Nasi Kandar. Their tomato rice is good even without any dish to accompany it. Of course, the various curries are yum, yum although not spicy enough for us. Buut..........still ''ho chiak''. I especially like the ayam masak merah. Eaten with tomato rice and pickled cucumber......oooh sedapnya. The mutton curry is also equally good although erm sometimes, the mutton can be a tad chewy. By the way, their fried chicken is the best in the world.......according to me lah. You don't have to agree with me lor.
Lumut Nasi Kandar is located at 4159 Jalan Sultan Idris Shah, Lumut.

Breakfast at Swiss Garden Golf & Spa Resort Damai Laut, Lumut

Swiss Garden Golf & Spa Resort Damai Laut.......aahh.......our favourite place for some relaxation. Always something to look forward to for us. We especially like the buffet breakfast which is included in the room rates. Quite a spread they have there.....although.....compared to a few years back, the buffet spread has shrunk somewhat. Still.......we like it and so far, we have not gotten tired of it. Erm....come to think of it....the breakfast buffet spread actually has a wider selection than the dinner buffet. Hmm.......why's that, ah????

Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned. (Peter Marshall)
Yes, what's the use of planning great deeds that are not or cannot be done, hah?

Madam Kwan's, Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur

Somebody suggested dinner at Madam Kwan's in Pavillion. OK. Whatever. Wah......crowded. Maybe because it's a Saturday??. Erm...what to order, ah? Spaghetti Alfredo.......good. Creamy and tasty. Curry laksa...nope. Too lemak and nothing else. Prawn noodles.....also, no, no. Can smell the prawn but cannot taste it in the soup. Wonder why. Maybe should just let hawkers' fare stay where they belong ........ at the hawkers' stall????? Chicken chop....quite good. Big portion. Nasi Bojari......er.......what's that? It's rice accompanied by fried chicken, sambal prawn and beef rendang. Not bad lor. The brown sugar ice kacang is not so good......too much milk.
