RM9 Car Wash

Potted plants at my parent's house...ah, finally some natural greens (instead of fake plants)....

Went for car wash at the Shell petrol station along PLUS highway - RM9

Super huge Mixue vanilla softserve - RM2

My first meal after back in M'sia is not nasi lemak but curry chicken rice at Sunny Food Republic. It came with acar and sambal at RM11 nett.

The bright interior of Panama airport, taken on departure day. This is Terminal 2.

The kitchen of my airbnb home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their Subway menu is extensive!

They have grilled meat (which is grilled on the spot upon order), some cold cuts as well as beef, chicken and bacons too.

All other veggies/condiments/sauces are same as ours, unless you order the grilled version which has its own sauces (like chimichurri, guacamole etc)

Illegal parking will be fined up to USD2000. Don't play play!

My clear fridge food....

And the view outside my airbnb unit. On a fine day, you can see the vessels/cargo ships queuing at the ocean to enter the canal.

Teppanyaki, IOI City Mall

Tim Horton RM10 drinks....

on the left: Signature Latte - Maple Cinnamon

on the right: Iced Capp Coffee - The Original

Lunch catch-up with a friend after a long time. When she suggested to have teppanyaki, I immediately agreed....We miss teppanyaki so much!

Mine is chicken set. I ordered the set meal which came with edamame, pickles, konyaku, chawanmushi and miso soup. Green tea drink is ala-carte at RM1.90

[Below] the pickles and konyaku

chawanmushi

The chef....

The chicken was cooked on the spot, hence it is nice to eat right out from the teppan.

The bill for my chicken set with drink came to RM27.60 nett after service charge and tax.

Itadakimasu!

Less than a dollar shampoo

Mr.DIY has shifted to Level 1 in the neighborhood Pinnacle mall. It was previously located inside the supermarket at LG floor. Went in to have a look....

Cheap shampoo.....less than a dollar (if you convert to USD)😂

There are a few racks selling F&B items too....

my favorite Homesoy soy bean milk selling cheaper than the market price....it is usually RM3.35 (or higher) but here you can get it for less than RM3.

The individual packets are cheap too...

Cincau (grass jelly) drinks to cool down on hot days....

Do you like cincau drinks?

Talking about hot days....it was so hot recently that I decided to go uphill for some cool breeze....

It was still Hari Raya school holiday then, hence the weekend crowds

My chapfan in the foodcourt....soup and tea included in this set meal that costs me 6 points

The gigantic LED screens with ads in SkyAvenue complex

The colorful display from the screens creates a lively ambience

This year their Hari Raya decor seems simple compared to the previous years

[Below] A place for tea & drinks....

A section of this place was closed on last year due to repairs after a fire incident. It's now fully opened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A snapshot of KL skyline taken from SUKE highway....ah, so scenic!

Peace and tranquil

It wasn't sunny but the weather was hot....superhot!

KL tower and Berjaya Times Square

KLCC twin towers are visible too....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I noticed that Uncle Soon fried rice has opened an outlet in the neighborhood....

I will go try it one day....

It's good to be back!

Peace Cafe, Genting Highlands

[Throwback] Some of the foods I had in Peace Cafe....

Cheese baked rice with chicken chop

Siu mai and Chinese char siew baos

Fish maws, pork belly in claypot

Bacons and fishballs noodles

Porridge (on the left)

Bon Appetit!

Nam Heong - Prawn Omelette Rice

McD

[Throwback] RM9.90 for a nasi lemak with fried chicken and drink. Add-on RM1 for gulai (curry gravy).

Promo has ended some time ago. Hopefully it will be back in 2026😀

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nam Heong

[Throwback] Went to Nam Heong to try the prawn omelette rice...

The fried rice is hidden beneath the omelette.

Drizzled with teriyaki sauce and topped with some crispy deep fried pork lard. I think it tries to copy Japanese omurice but with fusion to local taste. Taste good with fresh bouncy prawns....

RM20.35 nett after service charge and tax.

Filet O Fish - so nostalgic!

More than 2 decades ago, while I was still an undergraduate, I worked part-time at McD during the Raya week, just to earn extra pocket money. The hourly wage was quite good because it was a public holiday week, plus FOC meal if you work more than 4 hours.

My first assignment is to assemble Filet-O-Fish. It is actually quite simple. One can easily assemble 10 of these within a minute, provided everything is ready. 

Anyway, fast forward to today — the McD's buns are no longer the same as before. They now have a glossy surface, a change that was introduced about two years ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chicken mushroom rice at Hong Fu Lao dim sum restaurant....RM13.90++

Taste homely...it has a few pieces of waxed sausage, boneless chicken thigh meat and 3 pieces of shiitake mushroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

McD's sundae.....instead of fries, you can now choose to replace it with some other items such as choco sundae/corn/apple pie...etc.

I think I will stick to choco sundae coz i prefer cooling soft-serve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chicken drumstick rice at Soon Hing Wanton restaurant...

Taste so-so only....I think their core is wanton or wanton noodles, not roasted chicken nor duck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Below] Curry rice at Xiguan Wanton Noodles restaurant....

The curry chicken comes with potatoes, and the rice has a fried sunny side up egg by default. 

Taste so-so only.

Wantons (ala carte) are OK though....

Again, I'm ordering something that is not the core...and be judgemental about it😂

The view outside.

Other items in the menu apart from wanton noodles...

They have curry noodles with different types of ingredients.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

I just joined the membership and claimed their 2 for RM16 iced mocha drink.

Tried both with whipped cream and without....

I prefer the one without cream.
