Mid-week Roast Pork Cravings

February 9, 2010 | 579 views | 26 Comments »

What makes a good slab of roast pork? Is it the crunchy skin, the perfectly tender and moist marinated meat? The layer of gelatinous fat underneath that crackly skin? Or even the accompanying piquant, and garlicky chili sauce?

Truth be told, back when I was a small kid, roast pork was never a favourite of mine. Nor even something that I would gladly choose when it came to take away lunch at the chicken rice stall. I’d pick the Char Siew (BBQ marinated pork), the Siew Cheong (Pork/Offals Sausages), and even the roast chicken/duck, in that particular order. Probably more of an adult’s piece of meat, Siew Yoke (that’s roast pork in Cantonese) caters to the matured and possibly, jaded tastebuds more often than not.

On a whole different level, if you will.

Ipoh Hawkers’ Fest/Karnival Penjaja Ipoh 2009 – Street Food Galore

December 26, 2009 | 728 views | 28 Comments »

I was sour. I felt disappointed. But yet I concurred and paid a visit to Ipoh famous “Tong Sui Kai” aka Dessert Street (Pusat Makanan Rainbow City yesterday night (anyone bumped into me there?), for the inaugural Ipoh Hawkers’ Fest/Karnival Penjaja Ipoh, lasting from 25th-27th December 2009.

I can’t hide the fact that I felt short-changed when first laying my eyes on that piece of flyer distributed prior to the launching of the event yesterday. But Christmas SHOULD be a time for forgiveness, joy and a resounding cheers, instead of jeers.

So, just sit back, embrace the long weekend, and enjoy the shots of the event mentioned ……

Home Cook Recipe Restaurant in Ipoh – Good, Cheap & Satisfying

August 17, 2009 | 460 views | 22 Comments »

Things are slowly getting out of hand now. With the menacing H1N1 in full force, it almost felt like Armageddon at times, with news on people dying for no reason day in, day out. Sure, those immuno-compromised or with co-existing illnesses are comparatively easier to succumb to the looming pandemic.

Why are things out of hand you ask? Well, for one, I think almost everyone in Ipoh (at least, those with handsets, or not in hibernating mode) has received a viral SMS circulating, about a worker (or more) in Jusco Kinta City whom had contracted the disease. And even subsequently dying. Yup, that tragic, that worrying, and makes one wonder, where’s a safe place to be now?

As far as air-borne diseases go, NOWHERE. Even if you choose to self-quarantine at home, or hide under your bed, you’re bound to be in close proximity with your family members, or relatives, or even friends at one time or another. Hence, practise self-hygiene, avoid spreading the disease if you’re not feeling well, or diagnosed with the flu.

I could go on and on and spoil your day, OR I can shift your attention to something that brings us back to reality, and a smile to one’s face ……

F-O-O-D !!!

Hong Kong/Macau 2008 – Dimsum @ Lin Heung Tea House, Golden Bauhinia Square & Hoi Kee Roasted Meats

Continuation from Day Four in Hong Kong …

Jostle/elbow/smackdown your way down the escalators if you have to !!!

Day five of our journey started rather early, but unexpectedly caught up in the “traffic” at MTR stations. Yup, the rush hours in Hong Kong is exactly like in the movies/dramas, and KL’s frantic rush for the trains is beginning to resemble HK’s BP-raising ordeal.

Remember, if you’re merely out for a leisure stroll, or early breakfast, avoid the rush hours (before 9am) as much as possible. Unless of course, you wish to embrace or bask in the hectic ongoings at the station. But do stand aside, the stampede’s pretty unforgiving.

Central @ Hong Kong Island

The slopes are crazy at Central, you’re practically climbing and descending “hills” on the same road … Look at the guy pushing the cart uphill. SLOW depicts his speed, obviously.
