Here are some of the bits and pieces of what happened since my last post till yesterday. Only as far as I could remember....
Recently refinance my house loan to another Bank for what else, BETTER INTEREST RATE !! of course. Customer loyalty does not exist any more, as far as the banking line is concern.
Unlike, the golden days, where one have to look into the dictionary to find out the word "refinancing". And in the golden days, it is unimaginable and unthinkable just to change Bank. These people still exist (though slowly becoming extinct) today. And I salute them. Why pay more when you can pay less?
I reformat my PC and was down for couple of weeks. No, it wasn't attacked by virus. No, it didn't crached either. I reformated it for fun. I felt like my PC was slowing down and I thought weird things started to happened. It feels like my PC has suffered 1st stage cancer and it has to undergoe chemo and radiation before it's too late. Crazy, but true.
Bought a brand new car. The old car stays. Earlier, it was City. Maybe Vios if my old car broke down and is beyond repair. Vios will not be my 1st choice, cos it reminds me of the dirty ugly cockroach underneath my washing machine. Proton and anything Buatan Malaysia is TOTALLY AND COMPLETLY out of the subject. If you are the owner or have previously owned one before, you should know what I mean.
Anyway, one step into Tan Chong showroom in Section 13 completely and absolutely turned the table over to this baby over here......
Triple Combo ! My I/C no. came out 2nd Prize in Da Ma Cai, CS I/C came out 1st prize in Magnum and my car no came in 1st prize in Toto. All on the same day !! I'm not a compulsive gambler, merely a social one only. But this is too much. I spent 5 bucks last year and RM3.50 so far this year.
Spicy Soup with our Makan-Makan sambil Jalan Friends. Located in Serdang. Please bear in mind that this is the pepper spicy type and not the chili spicy type of soup, which I thought it would be. They serve this dish in a big clay pot full of all pork and pork's spare parts drowned with pipping hot coarse black and white peppery soup. I have never eaten soup with this much pepper innit. Perfect for a cold rainy day.
Yesterday, it was Ampang Steamboat with my usual partner in crime. After our paisan session and tien hou temple, we headed to Times Square for our usual chaotic get-together. After trying thousands of sunglasses and finally bought only 1 at 20% discount (with the help of our LCE sales girl, Buwaneswari). I think she would have included us in her blacklist, if she has one).
Anyway, we decided to have dinner feast. After surveying Berjaya Hotel buffet dinner and Melia Hotel Steamboat and International buffet, we decided to head to Ampang instead. Main reason....cheaper and can explore more of KL after livin' here for 5 years. But the actual reason, is we just wanted to hiau only, or better known as itchy backside.
Uncle pouring spicy and clear soup into our pot. Can't wait.
After that, uncle lights the fire for our stove with a match stick. No. it's not auto. If you accidently turn off the stove, you have to piss off the uncle to light it up again.
Cooking starts. While waiting for our mushroom + prawns + variety of balls to cook in the pot, melt the butter and start to BBQ. Lookin' like a pro it actualy fact you're looking at a stamboat bbq pro.
This one, may look like a pro but she is not. Why? good question. Who BBQ with a SPOON ?????you can use chopstick, like me or you can also use a skewer. but not spoon. OK ?
I like this place, it's on the 1st floor overlooking a great view. You can enjoy the mainroad and admire the traffic jams while waiting for your lamb to cook. What's cool is it's open air and the owner install countless of those water spray that you usually see at mamak to keep the air cool.
raw seafood and hommade chilli dip.
That 2 miserable clams are mine.
If you're interested, this place is called
Korea Stone BBQ Steamboat located at
33A-1, Jalan AWF 1, Ampang Water Front, 68000 Ampang.
It's at the main road, you can't miss it.
