Pangkor Trip 2009

Went to Pangkor Island during the Labour Day holiday. Went there for 3 days 2 nights vacation to relax myself from the tedious work life. Pangkor is a small fisherman town with clear water beach. Everything is nice at Pangkor expecially their seafood. All fresh directly from the sea. Seafood from Pangkor will be posted in next post!

Japanese Buffet @ Shogun Sunway Pyramid

Went to Shogun Sunway Pyramid during gathering with our form 6 mates. We organized this type of gathering evry few months. This time we decided to go for Shogun Japanese Buffet. We went there Saturday night and price for buffet dinner was RM 60++. Overall the food there not bad with wide variety of food. Taste of the food was moderate. However i still prefer japanese buffet at Zen Restaurant.

Snack @ Singapore

I was on a business trip to Singapore last Thursday. Went to Tampines 1 mall and spotted a long queue at this Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Bun stall. It is a pan fried of "siao long pau" version and taste not bad. The filling is very juicy and flavorsome.



After that we also spotted a bakery shop "Yamazaki" with lots of people queing up for breads as well. If not mistaken this "Yamazaki" bakery shop is same franchise as the Sun Moulin bakery. Bought a corn cheese bread and a tuna & egg sandwich. Thumbs up!



Then after we came out from the mall, we heard "Bun promotion! All bread at same price only $1!" We later on found out that there is also a bread shop outside the mall doing promotion. The shop was filled with various type of buns. It was so tempting to see all the breads and cakes. Me and my friend also could not stand but to grab some of the breads there. :)

Flower Tea from Purple Cane

Yesterday was my mother's birthday and my sister bought a great gift to her. It was a set of heat resistant glass tea pot with a pack of flower tea from Purple Cane. I guess everyone have heard of Purple Cane before. It is well known in their tea art centre and restaurant in KL. Their first tea art centre was at the Chinatown and later on branch over to Mid Valley and Sunway Pyramid.

Heat Resistant Glass Teapot Set with 5 little cups

Back to the flower tea that my sister bought yesterday, the tea pack comes with 9 different type of flowers. They are the lily, rose, marigold,jasmine,sweet osmanthus,carnation,bachelor's button, chrysanthemum and lavender. All of these flowers are scented and have different health benefits. For example, lily is good in nourishes the lungs and calming while roses relives mental exhaustion, remove internal heat and nourishes the skin. There are more other benefits from the flowers. The flower tea tasted so refreshing and suitable for people who doesn't like the traditional chinese tea leaves.

Japanese Dinner

During the weekend, a Japanese friend of mine invited me and some of the friends to his house for dinner. He cooked some of the local Japanese dishes for us to try. All of the food are very delicious and easy to prepare.

One of my favourite dish for that night was the Okonomiyaki aka Japanese Pizza. It's tasted so delicious and easy to make. According to my Japanese friend, there are few style of cooking the Okonomiyaki. The Tokyo style, Osaka style and Hiroshima style. The one he prepared for us was the Hiroshima style. At the same time, my friend also prepared the Japanese hamburger for us. Hamburger was famous among the japanese kids.
