Lontong Breakfast #1

Today,right after I woke up,my dad said he was bringing us out for breakfast.Usually,I won't go because I'd rather stay at home and eat bread with St. Dalfours jam and watch televeision but today I decided to go out with them.We went to a lontong shop by the side of the road which is only about 10 minutes from home.The picture above shows lontong.Lontong is basically 'nasi impit' which is served with vegetable stew or better known here as 'Sayur Lodeh' and topeed with 'sambal' and toasted coconut or better known here as 'kerisik'.

'Nasi impit' is something like ketupat but now they have the instant ones which only require it to be boiled for a few minutes.Ketupat takes a much more longer time because you have to weave the casing and then fill it up and boil it in a very large pot.That is usually done about 1 week before Hari Raya in my 'kampung',Muar.My grand aunties, who are excellent cooks,takes ketupat orders every Hari Raya,I find their ketupat very nice especially with peanut sauce or better known as 'kuah kacang'.

Like father like son

I was browsing through some old photos and this particular picture caught my eye.I wonder if they look alike.People say they do.Don't you?

Kopitiam breakfast #2

The picture shows a typical kopitiam breakfast which is toasted bread with kaya,kopitiam style as well as a cup of 'teh tarik' which is basically tea with condensed milk.The toasted bread's filling is very nice and it has lots of butter in it as well as kaya.The 'teh tarik' has the correct amount of condensed milk so it tastes not too sweet and not too tasteless.

Kopitiam breakfast #1

This morning,my dad decided to bring us to a kopitiam which was opened by one of his close friends.The picture above shows my dad cracking open a half-boiled egg.

The shop is located in Bangi and it is called Bangi Kopitiam.Their slogan is "Let's eat together-gether...".I find it very catchy.
The people who go there are from the elite society of Bangi.By 8 a.m.,there are already about 8 people.Imagine how many people would be there at 10 a.m.?More pictures coming soon,so stay tuned!

DP Theme Day:The Colour Red

I'm a little late posting this Theme Day photo.In the morning,had to go to my brothers' sports day and when I reached home,I fell asleep as I was watching TV because I had to go to a Talent Night at a school in Putrajaya and reached home at 2 a.m..For more details,read my other blog.

It was hard to find a picture for this Theme Day because I didn't have any idea on what to post.But eventually,I got a few ideas.As a treat,my dad brought us for lunch somewhere near the border of Ampang and Kuala Lumpur.After lunch,I was going back to the car and saw the place where they put the fire extinguisher in but there wasn't one.I wonder where it had gone to.

McDonalds drive thru

This is the McDonalds which is combined with a petrol station,Projet.My dad will usually go through the drive-thru when we have nothing to eat for dinner or if mum is away and there's no one to cook for us.The food in McDonalds in Malaysia is not the same as the one in other countries.For example,in Singapore with the Happy Meal you can pick from a selection of side orders like apple dippers which are ready sliced to be dipped in caramel.Here in Malaysia,the side orders are not that interesting though.

The best breakfast in Ampang

Went to Ampang Jaya for breakfast and went to my mum's all time favourite stall which serves nice roti canai which is made by a Malay.It is amazingly true!It's very hard to find a Malay who can make nice roti canai.The teh tarik is not so sweet and not so plain and the traditional kueh,yummy!So those of you who live in KL or Ampang or if you're planning to visit KL,do stop by at Mak Jah Corner.It is located along Jalan Kerja Air Lama and it is located next to SPCA Ampang.
