FOOOOOOD! :D

Now, food plays a major part in our life, there's no denying it (maybe those who are anorexic might disagree... :/ ). You can be thin or skinny, rich or poor, tall or short, crazy or not, you will definitely feel hunger. And the basic meals a normal person should consume consist of the main 3 meals, often known as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each meal plays an important role, skip any of this, well, its just not encouraged, especially for a foodie like me. I love eating, though I may be skinny now... I used to be quite on the thicker side (chubby face and etc...). But that did not diminish the fact that I LOVE FOOD! I am no professional chef or food journalist and photographer, but I know what tasty food tastes like, alright. Hence, here comes some of the food, that I was blessed enough to consume during my one week semester break in KK. A bit overdue since that happened long time ago, but better late than nothing right? There are some more which I was not able to eat while I was in the sunny and beautiful city of KK, but hey, that means there would be a PART 2! Hopefully soon, and should I remember. Hehe. Since I am unable to taste the awesomeness of these food whenever I want right now, I might as well reminisce on them through pictures... :')

So, shall we begin... out with the Entrée!

Beef Noodle a.k.a Ngiu Chap

Beef! Ohhh beeeffff! Nothing beats a good old piece of beefy meat... Grrrrrr... Apparently in KK, there are several versions of Beef Noodles, the difference is mainly in the ingredients used to cook the soup, if I am not mistaken, for example, sugar cane or salted vegetables and so on. I personally like the salted vege ones, I like it salty. :D The one in the picture above is an example of the salted vege one, the shop is located behind Giant, Kolombong and is often crowded during lunch hour, I mean who could resist this anyway? The tender meat and the bouncy meatballs are enough to make me go hyper. And it has to come with a delicious chili sauce, the spicier, the better! Chili and Meat, HEAVEN~

Alright, next up, is a new western food outlet in KK, known at Bomber's Burger. Located just next to Party Play in Gaya Street, it serves humongous and generous portion of food to its customers.  

Meat Loaf and Mashed Potatoes

It's more of an American sized serving for me, cause I'm telling you the truth when I say my stomach almost burst when I finished my meat loaf.

Bomber's Burger...

Can you feel the cheeeeeseeee???

Big, big burgers and bombastic cafe design with a hearty ambiance, it is a good place to stuff yourself like a Thanksgiving turkey and have fun while doing it (not much fun in the end though). Bomber's is definitely on my LIKE list now.

Korean. Korean. Korean. I love their K-Pop, I love their dramas and also their food, of course! Hi Seoul Korean Fushion Restaurant is located in Likas Square. One of the many Korean restaurants in KK, Hi Seoul caters mostly to Korean tourist who are touring the city and also locals who crave for Kim Chi and the many Korean delicacies available.

Bibimbap! (Rice dish served with meat and veges in a warm bowl)

Ttobukki! (Rice Cakes in Spicy Sauce)

I'm a very big fan of Dwenjang Tang (Soybean Paste Soup)

I love it when I eat Korean meals like this, Korean BBQ maybe a whole different experience, but eating dishes (homemade dishes in Korea) like this, makes me feel all warm and content inside. The metal bowls and chopsticks, the smell of chili paste everywhere, is just nice. SARANGHAE!

Fishyyy...

Next up! Enough of Korean and Western, let's head back to KK's local favourites. Fish noodles!!! Now, fish noodles are kinda common in everywhere around Malaysia, I've tasted the ones in KL, Selangor, Johor and etc, but KK's Fishy Nooddles... are still the best to me. :P

Usually, the noodles is cooked by adding milk in it. or just clear ones with no milk. But I prefer and love the ones with milk in them, and my taste buds agrees so that's that. KK has some of the freshest seafood in the country, so fish noodles like these with fresh fish slices are just, perfect. With the salty-ish and sour-ish taste of the soup, it is really appetizing and also filling to the tummy. I got my hands on a few bowls during the break.

A typical Fish Slice Noodles with milk in the soup :D

The Clear Soup Version

Tom Yam Fish Slice Noodles

And if you are up to something much spicier and excite your taste buds, go for the Tom Yam soup version. Another dish that represents heaven on earth, in my book. :')

Last but not least, one of the most, arguably, iconic food KK has to offer, the Sang Nyuk Mian.

A bowl of soup with kon lau kuew tiow

No words to describe the awesomeness in this bowl...

Sang Nyuk Mian is actually a dish which utilizes the meat and innards of pork (this is non-halal to my dear Muslim friends). The soup has an amazing flavour and is kinda cloudy-ish with the essence of the meat and its bones cooked to perfection to flavour the soup. Customers can choose to eat it with the noodle in the soup, or aside as kon lau. There are many restaurants selling just this, namely Melanian, Sinsuran and so on. But some do not offer meatballs though. And I love meatballs! >.<

It is a bad idea after all to do this post. Cause I am really hungry now. Oh well, may you enjoy the food placed before you, cause you never know when you might lose them, and you'll miss them. T.T

LOVE YOURSELF!

LOVE FOOD!

Peace out and God bless ya'll.

And so, I thought of...

Well, it has been exactly 4 months now... and finally... I am actually updating this blog. @.@ 

Time flies. It feels like, just yesterday, I was still serving customers who were looking for the right underwear, right size, colour and material... And now, fast forward 4 months later, I'm sitting in my hostel room all alone, just me and my laptop and Lee Hom playing on the speakers, with my room mate out visiting his site for the final project. And so, I thought of my long abandoned blog after browsing through my own Facebook profile and eventually decided to update it.

The last post in my blog reminded me of how my life has been this year. It has been quite a year and now even 2012 is ending. I've been on the airplane more than ever, frequently travelling from one place to another. All domestic though. Hmmm... Looking forward to when my travels would be from one continent to another, maybe in the near future? So basically, from January to end of July, I have had the opportunity to dwell in probably the most urbanized state of Malaysia known as Selangor in Bandar Sunway.

Sunway Pyramid and Lagoon's Night View from my condo.

After the knowledge of my oh-so-wonderful result for STPM, I was offered a place in UTM (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia), Johor, I took the offer and then left Sunway (seems like ACCA and me, was just not meant to be). I flew back to KK, Sabah, where I spent the whole month of August, and managed to also fly back to my hometown, Sibu, Sarawak to visit my lovely grandma. Met with classmates of old from Form 5 and Form 6. MISS YOU GUYS!

How could I not miss these noobies? :P

Another set of the awesome and weird humans.

Then as September approached, it was time to meet a whole new environment. I touched down at Senai Airport with my mommy and got a chance to tour around JB by ourselves.

Johor Bahru

After my mom flew back to KK, it was orientation week in UTM, damn, a whole lot of unknown human and such a humongous campus.I was late by one day and so I had no idea of what to do or knew anyone there. But I got a hold of things quickly and settled in. Then it was learning about embarking on a whole new journey to fulfill the requirements to be a professional and qualified landscape architect and to survive my university life. Projects after projects, assignments after assignments, presentations after presentations, after 3 months now, I kind of adjusted to the way things are. No more school uniform, disciplinary teachers eye-ing every step you take, people are nice, some are not so okay, and Food, well, still prefer KK's, but as a whole Johor itself is awesome as well (nearest to Singapore, Otak-Otak and big malls). And I've managed to travel across half of the Peninsular Malaysia, thanks to my course, haha. Seen a lot, and much wiser than before I hope.

Now, I'm in the midst of completing my final project for this semester. Not complaining, although it is tiring at times. And I guess you couldn't help it when you miss the things that were once so much of a part of your life, like the Sunway Pyramid, the roomate, housemates and condomates who were the best ever, my home and family, the members of my home church and SSMC, my PLKN mates who spent their time and petrol on me while I was in Selangor... But life moves on. It will never ever rewind itself back so you can have a restart or a second try at things. No matter how lonely you are, how much pain you are in, how depressed you are and how unworthy you feel you are, life, moves on.

So...
Learn something new each day and look forward to the next.
Learn to leave the unnecessary things behind and only take what you need.
Learn to be grateful for what was once yours and may never be again.
Learn to keep the precious little things, in memories, in pictures and within your heart.
Learn to smile, when everything else forces you to not do so.
Learn to be different from the crowd and do what you believe in, your own principles in life, which is right.
And learn to be brave in loving, for having love and not sharing it with the people you care for and needs it, is even worse than not having love in the first place.

Oh and Rise of The Guardians is an awesome movie! :D WATCH IT! Haha!

Till the next post,
God bless you and the ones you love.
Peace out.
:P

P.S.: There's still a lot pics and people to share, but this is it for now. Hehe!
