  • Quiet Seremban Town

    Quiet Seremban Town

    Quiet Seremban Town – Two weeks ago, I drove all the way to Singapore with my family. It was lunch time and we passed by Seremban, wanting to go into the little town to look for lunch. It’s actually my second time visiting Seremban. We went there before few years ago but couldn’t find any good food and this time, we went there to have a try again.

    Quiet Seremban Town

    I’ve heard that there has good Hakka Mee @ Tou Kee, I followed the GPS to the place. Unfortunately it’s not opened. We tried to look for other food around the town but still there’s nothing look interesting and most of the shops were closed, on a Friday afternoon. I wonder why the town is so quiet during a weekday?

    Seremban is really very small and under-develop in my opinion. Anyone from there or know about there would like to introduce some nice good eating place? =D

    Black & White At Shing Kheang Aun

    Black & White At Shing Kheang Aun – Went to lunch just now at the Hainanese restaurant Shing Kheang Aun in George Town. It was very hot, and sunny. I have my camera with me, mounted with Sigma 30mm f1.4, when I saw down by the table, I got bored, and then I started snapping away. Switching mode from colour to monochrome black & white.

  • Cecil Street Market And Hawker Stalls (Qit Tiao Lor Ban San / 七条路巴刹)

    Cecil Street Market And Hawker Stalls (Qit Tiao Lor Ban San / 七条路巴刹)
    #1: You will know the place by seeing the name Pusat Penjaja Lebuh Cecil which means Cecil Street’s Food Court.

    Cecil Street Market And Hawker Stalls (Qit Tiao Lor Ban San / 七条路巴刹) － Cecil Street, also known as Qit Tiao Lor in Hokkien or literally means 7th Road is famous for its market and hawker stalls. Many locals love to flock into the market and hawker stall to eat out and hunt for good food as there have a variety of local Penang hawker food to choose from.


    #2: A Hokkien Prawn Noodle stalls which haven’t open yet.

    Cecil Street Markat & Hawker Stalls is one of my favourite place to eat in Penang given that the place is more local-ish to me with 99.9% people eating out are locals and for its great variety of local food. I dislike hawker food stalls like at tourist centric Gurney Drive area and New Lane.


    #3: Aunty was thinking something.


    #4: A busy woman talking on the phone and wanting to buy kuih.


    #5: At the kuih stalls, the owner lady trying to tell the girl how much it is for the kuih.

    Yesterday, I went there with my mom to have lunch, and also to buy some stuff from the market to cook at home. It was about noon time and you can hear many people chattering around with coffee boy shouting here and there loudly to order a drinks for the customers.


    #6: Another hidden and good hokkien prawn noodle stalls. The name is Ah Lai’s Hokkien Prawn Noodle.


    #7: Disabled person trying to earn some living by selling his voices – singing karaoke, which turns out to has a good voice.


    #8: An old lady waiting for … someone, or food.


    #9: Picking dishes which to be eat with porridge.

    Aroma of local food can be inhaled at there. Hokkien dialect is the main language of the hawker food stalls area which can be heard almost everywhere. Everyone was busy chomping their food and talking. I was then busy taking photos around, capturing the image of the locals to share with you guys.


    #10: Fishmonger scrapping off the fish scales.


    #11: A man in helmet picking shrimps.


    #12: Eat more vegetables which is very good for your health.


    #13: Garlic, do you like it? Yes, I do.


    #14: A lady buying stuff at the market.

    I’ll show you in other post that what I have eaten yesterday. Porridge with a few dishes, and a bowl of Penang hokkien prawn noodle was my lunch yesterday, which is deliciously good.

  • Walk Around Bukit Bintang and Uniqlo on an Early Friday Morning

    Walk Around Bukit Bintang and Uniqlo on an Early Friday Morning

    Last Friday, I went to town alone early in the morning to send my dropped-super-damaged-Tamron-lens to the service centre (Futoromic) at Berjaya Times Square. I didn’t want to go back to Penang to send back to the original shop that I bought my lens because they will eventually send to KL again. Since I am in KL right now so I might as well send in directly to the service centre.

    So what happened to my lens? I dropped to the ground from my height and cannot focus, cannot turn, and got crack. Haha. They called and the fixing charges is around RM450. Still better than getting a new lens. =) Now is waiting to go collect my lens.

    Haven’t been to Times Square for quite some time. It’s not really a good shopping mall. Selling stuff like Sungei Wang or Prangin Mall in Penang. The indoor theme park is still on, heard a little bit of scream but doesn’t fancy me anymore because I have been in there when it was first opened many years back.

    After sending the stuff to service. It was still early and it’s like only 11 in the morning. I decided not to go back so early but go check out the newly open Uniqlo at Fahrenheit 88. People have been talking about it for the past few weeks. Heard that there were super duper long queue during opening. What for?

    There’s a new broadband/mobile network in town, using the 4G spectrum and it’s YES by YTL. Finally a rival to P1. They have put up a large LED cube at Bukit Bintang, outside Lot10 and I tell it’s really very cool. It’s to promote their broadband. But somehow, IMO, I still prefer a cable/copperline Internet because wireless Internet is never as stable as a cable one. Wireless broadband is only an alternative to those who couldn’t get cable to their home.

    Did you sign up for YES?

    A little bit of walk, from Berjaya Times Square, I reached Uniqlo.

    There’s promotion on jeans and t-shirt. RM50 for jeans and RM30 for t-shirt which are quite cheap. I didn’t want to buy the jeans because I am going for more like Skiny or Slim-cut. It’s more fitting. Though, I bought t-shirts at there! Hehe. Do you know that the Kuala Lumpur’s Uniqlo is the largest currently outside Japan? It has 3 floors. =) From Wikipedia one.

    After shopping, finally willing to go back already. I am having final exam now. Good luck to me and also to all those who are having exam right now, especially my junior who are taking SPM.
