Ah-B @ Seapark

Simplicy at its best....
You may not know this but A-Wah ko's parter, Ah-B has set up on his own....his hokkien char promises to be full of wok-hei, mighty tasty if you ask me - I'll blog more about this another time as this time, we went for his tai-chow. Note though that his menu is somewhat limited, which can be expected since his noodles are his main forte and fame.

Marmite chicken.

Sweet and sour pork. Erm, we had to order another SSP since it was too hot for Master Prince.

Mien Hoon Kuey @ Northern Taste

If there is one dish I would say is my favourite, it would be this dish...MHK aka pan-mee. I could practically live on it EVERYDAY, if they make it properly, i.e. the ikan billis soup should be clear and sweet (minus MSG) and the texture of the noodles, velvety, smooth and slightly chewy. Food at its humble simplicity is the best, IMHO.

I enjoy the MHK at this place. They serve the condiments on the side which is great if you like your ikan billis crunchy. This shop located at Sea Park is clean and functional. Being a family owned restaurant, the meals cooked here exudes a home-cooked feel and taste.

Not forgetting, their homemade belacan chilli is also very fragrant. I always need more than what they normally serve.

Hawai Five-O

If you were of the same era, Hawai Five-O was once a popular action series.

Anyway, I was going to sleep one night and decided to check if the windows were open otherwise the bedroom will get a little stuffy. As I wasn’t wearing my glasses at that point of time, I was wondering through the blur images why our road was so busy with so many cars, not to mention in the middle of the road.


When the 3rd silent flashing car drove up, I realized it was a police car….1 – 2 – 3. What the….something must be up! Woke DH who almost leapt up from the bed after informing him of the 3rd patrol card. Peering through our window, we saw men with riffles running around back of the house. We also ran to the back room to check out the action. Couldn’t see much as the back lanes were locked. Which also meant they couldn’t do or see anything either. So back to the front for more action wondering what was going on.

After a few minutes, as a small crowd gathered, we decided we would investigate too. DH found out that a neighbour had called after hearing someone or sounds on the roof. Cheeky DH enquired mouse or cat or dreaming?? Well after all the drama, it ended as quiet as it began.

3 squad cars and 9 policemen. Talk about heavy patrol!! Must confess my heart was pounding a little, when I saw the policemen running in action with their riffles!!

If I were the thief, I would just lie as low and as long as I can on the roof (probably enjoy the moon lit sky and stars) until the commotion settle down before making my get-a-way!!

The next morning we didn’t hear any gossips so, it must have been a heavy mouse or cat or squirrel.

Anyway, kudos to our policemen for what seemed to be a dull and mundane night!! The neighbourhood slowly settled itself though the night, though somewhat restlessly. Alarms turned ‘ON’.

Chilli beans

...a.k.a. chilli con carne.


Great way to consume red kidney beans by spicing it up.

Best eaten with tacco shells, tortilla chips or rice. Otherwise, any bread will do.

Served with some finely chopped lettuce makes this a very freshing meal.
