It was used to be an old uncle that scoop and prepare this and I believe now had been taken over by his son.

This is what is called Penang famous Cendul, its filled with shaved ice, green grass jelly, red bean and coconut milk ontop, lastly just topped with some gula melaka. Undoubtly, this little bowl sure will satisfy your crave and cools you down under this hot weather.

Next destination is this place where no doubt that recently Penang Laksa had been in the list of world top 10 food that must eat which I am surely proud off and many of my friends that come Penang the first thing they mention is they want to eat Asam Laksa.

NED_6507_resize

I was recently introduce to this stall by my friend that this is another new joint that I found that served good laksa as I find that the one at Ayer Itam Market is very commercialise and I do not really like the taste of it. I find that this taste much better.

This few hawker stalls is located at the round about of Ayer Itam Junction and now it had attracted many other local tourist as when I was there, alot people speak cantonese in the area.

This is one fine bowl of laksa that comes with a lot of mixture of vegetable such as finely sliced vegetables including onions, cucumber, red chillis, pineapple, lettuce, mint and pink bunga kantan then shower a few rounds with sour and and a bit spicy soup base, also a spoonfull of ‘Heh Koh’ (prawn paste). RM3.50

laksa

The noodle is silky smooth and slurp it all the way into my mouth, texture of it a bit chewy that comes to my liking. Soup base is one of my prefered choice as it cook along with fish meat that had been smash and every sip I can bite some of the fish meat. It is sour and spicy enough that can satisfy my crave.

NED_6509.0_resize

Next stall that is quite famous among there is this Duck Meat Koey Teow Soup that the soup is very aromatic with its well cook soup base with duck bone, pork bone and a few other ingredients that make it sweet, served along with duck meat and some pork lard to make it superb in taste. RM 3.50

NED_6510_resize

Penang Rojak is also another dish that you must have which is a mixture of fruits and mix with prawn paste. This is not the best stall and find that the prawn paste is quite salty and its expensive as for this small portion its RM4.

Seri Muara Alai Nasir Ikan Bakar @ Melaka

No Comments

One of the place in Melaka to hunt for food, Jason introduce us this fresh seafood that he constantly visit and now, it is not only famous to local crowds as many Singaporean also drop by this place according to him. The place is about 15 minutes’ drive out from the town area towards very ‘kampung side’ Seri Muara Alai Nasir Ikan Bakar and turn into a small lane with sandy rockies road with paddy field at one side to reach this place. We were advice to start the journey early as it is easily filled up very fast. We reach here at 6pm, so the whole place still pretty empty.

This place is located at Alai and by the eatery place name of HJ Nasir Ikan Bakar (Grill Fish).

haji nasir (3)

Now I understand why they said the seafood here is very fresh, some of the fisherman come back from the straights of Melacca, which is not too far from here and he get all the first hand fresh seafood first.

haji nasir (5)

In a hot weather like this, it is always best to sit outside for more cool wind.

haji nasir (2)

When we move over to this mini stall to order our food, we were spoil with choices, with so many types of fish and seafood available.

haji nasir (4)

Then grill fresh on the pit area. . .

haji nasir (6)

All off us were pretty full from some other food hunt earlier, and make it 2nd last stop before heading back to KL.

haji nasir (7)

Small pack of Nasi Lemak was served which is optional, and decided to give it a try, and it was a let down. The rice was damp, not much fragrant and the sambal look very spicy which is not really.

Fried Squid were really good, fresh squid which is very chewy and the amount of crispiness on the layer of it, just nice and dip it with chili sauce is perfect. We order another round of it.

haji nasir (11)

Spicy Fried Stingray, well prepared with crispy edge on its tail and the meat in the middle is still very soft, and spread with their own homemade sambal on top just right.

haji nasir (12)

They just cant wait ..  too hungry again . . as we have seperate the right table are all small eaters including me, and on the left are all heavy weight champion eater.

BBQ Prawns

Grill Kembung Fish with sambal.

Cannot deny that the price here is cheap as we paid around RM 20 per pax after divided out and all of this are in 2 portion and the seafood is fresh. Taste wise, nothing to shout about, yet if like kampung style dining, this would be a place to go after.

Food Rating 7/10, quite okay, because its fresh~ ~-Stamped-

Peek into Universal Studio and Resort World @ Sentosa, Singapore

No Comments
Continuing post of Xacti launch. . . . . .
After the press conference of SANYO new range product (click here to view) we have 3 hours by ourselves before dinner and we got excited to explore the whole city, the first place we are heading is Hard Rock Hotel Singapore which was located directly above our conference hall.

Universal

Nothing much to shout about the hotel as the outlook and interior is similar to the one in Penang.

Universal (2)

Universal (3)

One of the camera men sitting across the street seeing me climb here and there he like also ‘mou ngan tai’ as trying to get myself in good position for solo and group shot..keke, end this is how we ended up.. and we were all sweating like crazy after this shot.

Universal (5)

Went to take a peek at their Rock Shop which is pretty huge and their souvenir are pretty cool with the drumming stick design is very nice, thought of buying one but with after the conversion back to Ringgit, I might just forget it.

Universal (4)

Modern concept of lobby which is much bigger compare to the one in Penang but its pretty similar.

Universal (6)

Universal (7)

Universal (8)

Their pool area is very big!

Universal (9)

Next of course to the hottest and gossip of the town, newly open CASINO at Resort World Singapore at Sentosa. One of the entrances which will make your millionaire dream comes true.

Universal (10)

Unique way of heading to the main entrance with all the escalator lit up, ocean classical music with some effect on the wall which is pretty cool.

Universal (11)

You can see fish swimming above you.

Universal (12)

I just love this hall, makes us feel like we are in the world of Harry Potter if there are 2 long table stretches along.

Universal (13)

The entrance to your dream and hell, one of the conditions that the government had set to prevent Singaporean from entering so often as we know, or in the movie, the always buy Toto or ‘Ma Piau’. So for foreigners to enter the casino is FREE and all Singaporean need to pay SG100 for the entrance, errr which is like around RM250 per entrance…

Feels like haven’t go in gamble or wish to have a look on the decoration or peek of it already lose RM250 or SG 100 to the casino. I guess, the locals have to give first then only got the form to fight back~ and there are a lot of ATM machines located next to the entrance.

One thing I notice is Junior Lim (what me and my friends called the owner of Genting Group) is not stingy in Singapore, as one of the Jackpot price they are giving for slots machine or one of the game inside casino is Lamborghini. Damm! They so tempting~

Universal (14)

Then just walk around. . . .

Universal (15)

Heading to one of the places I really want to go. .

Universal (16)

Universal (18)

Universal (19)

A mini costume parade with a security lady standing nearby them.

Universal (20)

And here we are, at Universal Studio Singapore, which have not been officially open to the public yet. Expected to open to public on the mid of April with the entrance free of SG65 per day as what been told by one of the security guy there which is pretty reasonable.

Just by looking at the roller coaster when drove pass by on our way here making me so stim~ wish to ride on the entire coaster.

Universal (21)

The trademark of the place, Globe of Universal Studio.

Universal (22)

Got lost in looking for others and Toh candid me.

Universal (23)

Universal (24)

Main entrance to the theme park, and there was a long que on that day, as what we been inform, there are certain time, they allow very limited people to go into the park for a mini tour but on that day Adam Lambert concert was there, with me, Witch and Saucer.

Universal (25)

Waiting for the counter to open.

Universal (28)

Universal (26)

did not manage to go in, only manage to take a peek into the park, which is pretty interesting like the one I went to Gold Coast, Dreamworld.

Universal (27)

Universal (29)

We were like, aiii, cannot go in, so how . . . go back to restaurant and rest la~

Universal (30)

Universal (31)

While on the way walking back then we saw this place… Hershey’s Chocolate shop.

Universal (32)

I must say, this is one of the poisonous chocolate so far,Reese, I bought a few packs as my friend said its very nice, and the next day took back to Malaysia, I already walap the whole packet.

Its not very sweet, yet center of the chocolate is filled with peanut butter that will just melt in your tongue, wish that they have it in Malaysia.

Universal (33)

If you are a chocolate lover and feel that you must hug your chocolate to dreamland, then you can consider buying this huge Hershey’s Kisses

Universal (34)

or their big bottle of syrup, Sunny as the embassador. . .

Universal (35)

to drink it like there’s no tomorrow. . .

Universal (36)

sure would want to get my hands on their popcorn. . wonder how it taste like? save it for next round~

Universal (37)

Then there is latin dance going on by the Pilipino if not mistaken.

Universal (38)

You shake,

Universal (39)

you dance and

Universal (40)

flip it like a star.

Universal (41)

Finding our way to the restaurant.

Universal (42)

If you are a winner in the Casino and would want to buy something for your love ones, this would be the perfect street to shop at..

Universal (43)

One of the hotels, offer Royce Royce pick up. .

Universal (44)

With two big naked statue standing tall in the hall area which is Adam and Eve as what I been told.Universal (45)

with Adam’s kukuciau hanging there.. . . .

Universal (46)

and finially we reach Hotel Micheal, the place that we are going to have our dinner.Universal (47)

As all of us are very tired after walking around since morning till now, Sunny decided to post like Playmate.

Universal (48)

and I decide to meditate. . . and that’s all for now . . . and look forward for tomorrow with their delicious menu that they have in place for us, one of the best food so far.
