Salt-Baked Fish (Hu Xu Shen Ikan Bakar Garam)

I stayed in Bukit Serdang for almost 2 years and yet I have never discovered this eating heaven up until now.

Shunza brought us there and we were introduced first time to the renowned ''Ikan Bakar Garam'' which has attracted countless food lover from all over.


We ordered the Salt-Baked fish@RM 23 (of course) and it did not let us down. Not only is the flesh is juicy and sweet, it is slightly salty and tasted even more delicious with the home-made sauce.


Next dish was the Deep-Fried Sotong Rings @RM 15.

My friend could not even wait for me to finish taking this picture and his fork was already ''attacking'' the poor squid.... =p Another worth mentioned dish as it was fried to near perfection with the addition of curry powder and tumeric.


Another dish was the Steamed Tilapia in Light Soya Sauce @RM 20 which was steamed inside an aluminium foil. The seasoning was just right without affecting the natural flavour of the fish.

The Claypot Japanese Tofu is a bit of a let down, especially when our high expectations built up after a couple of 'thumbs-up'' dishes. Cooked with quite a lot of the ingredients (shrimps, tofu, chinese cabbage, etc) though. Suitable for those who prefer milder taste

With reasonable price and finger-licking-good food, Hu Xu Shen is the exact place to head to for those who enjoys good food.

Trip to Hong Kong 2008 - Arriving in Macau and away

It has been quite hard for me to gather my thoughts for my post on the trip to Hong Kong last December.

After I came back from the trip, I was contented in a way that this was actually my first trip outside the country with my own hard-earned cash!!

The trip to Macau was alright until the moment we went past the Immigration counter.



For one thing, the line was long, however, the process was quite fast! We thought it was because Macau's Immigration Officers were super efficient....


We were wrong! Found out that it was fast because the officers were unbelievably RUDE! Visitors' passport were thrown around and their face looked as if we owed them a few billion dollars. So much for the "Hospitality" in Macau!!


Well, it did not spoil our mood because we were warned against the rudeness of Macau and Hong Kong people before.

The ferry trip across to Hong Kong island was long and I had terrible boat sick! However, the seats were very comfortable and spacious. Single trip is around RM75+


We bought the "Octopus Card" (our Touch 'n Go's siblings) right away and head to Mong Kok where our hotel is situated.





So lucky that we saw some hong kong movie star shooting a program at Mong Kok. Wow!!

The transportation in Hong Kong is well developed and very convenient. All we have to do is just identified which station we want to descend, and the signboard will lead the rest of the way...



First stop : Avenue of stars


One of the must seen place in Hong Kong is Avenue of Stars ( cousin of Hollywood Walk of Fame), where the famous artists from Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and other region placed their hand prints.

As night falls, transformation takes place............................................



Everyone gathered at the waterfront and waited patiently, for something important. Their eyes were glued to the other side of the river... By 8.30pm, jeng jeng jeng jeng...... The announcer started to introduce the program that we all were waiting for, the "Musical Light Performance"



One word, breathtaking and we were literally shaking while watching the spectacular show, mostly because the wind was strong and FREEZING COLD!!!!!!

Lalalalala

Enough of grudge here and there....I guess there are things that you cannot control and the way to deal with it is just by playing it cool..

Saw this truck on the way to Merapoh, Pahang. At first I thought I must have been driving for too long until my sight turned poor...

After confirmation with my friend who was in the car with me, we decided to follow the car close enough to take this.....



Hard to say whether their English is too good or the Malay is too lousy...haha... But interesting how "Trailer" can be " Teralla"...


Remember the song, "shalalalala, shalala in the morning.....oh oh oh, shalalalala......" ?? This particular song was stucked in my head after I saw the truck for quite some time, =p
