The day our lives changed - chicken & ice cream feast

yes, changed for the better!

9th May 2018 is a historic day for all of us M'sians.

Almost everyone, regardless of age & gender went out to vote, and so here I was in a school....to vote out GST

a few pictures here and there since I have not stepped into a school for quite some time

 it's fun to be back on the school ground, although this isn't my school

 queue wasn't that long during the noon

 But it was sunny. After then back home and turn on TV to watch the news update. Was glued to the TV since 11pm until 4am ++ just to watch the latest result, but unfortunately the result on TV was so darn slow, that I gave up and instead followed from the official website, while reading sensational news in FB.

The following day, I went to work despite a declared holiday and had lunch with my colleagues. Everyone was eating chicken, so do I.

I ordered paper wrapped herbal chicken at Tea Garden (somewhere RM18)

 a huge chicken leg with very flavorful Chinese herbs gravy that goes so well with rice....either I was hungry or the chicken taste better on the 'victory day'.

 a week before Ramadan, me and the lunch gang went to Mr.Kebab & Biryani Putrajaya to have another round of celebration....I had chicken botti kebab with mandy rice for RM18. The syrup bandung is RM3.

 My other colleague have beef botti kebab rice, but she packed half the portion for dinner. The plastic container was given FOC.

 I had another 'chicken' celebration at Texas chicken. Ordered 2 pieces set meal that comes with refillable drinks and coleslaw.

 Was served with huge piece of chicken breast & thigh....

A few days before 1st June, Baskin Robbins had 31% + 6% discount on hand packed ice cream. Bought a pint to share with sis.

 My choice - 'Pistachio Almond'  and her choice 'Jamoca Almond Fudge'.

life is much better with 0 GST!

Foods from the Ramadan Bazaar

As mentioned in my previous post, the Ramadan bazaar is something that I looked forward during the fasting month. I went to the Sri Serdang bazaar one fine evening with my colleague and here's my foodies

Chicken Satay with Peanut sauce (RM0.80 per stick)

 Nasi Tomato with Ayam Masak Merah (RM5.00)

on top of the rice: Grilled Chicken Wing (RM1.50)

 Shwarma (RM ? , forgot)

Fries (RM ? , forgot)

 Beef Murtabak (RM 3)

 Roti John (RM 5)

 On another occasion, the whole group went and each of us bought something for sharing, we had pulut udang, roti jala, otak otak, grilled cockles and lotsa kuihs…All of us feasted in the office pantry although none of us fast.

Our next plan would be to the Putrajaya Precinct 3 bazaar. Let's see if the weather permits...*fingers crossed.

On On Bak Kut Teh

Had tis some time ago. Was craving for something soupy and meaty....and this stall was still open around 9pm plus, so I ended up here accidently while on my way back home.

Ordered a claypot BKT for 1 pax and it came out with a huge one...There was a lot of meat in there, mostly lean pork meat and ribs coz I dun eat other sort of organs...

standard KL price around RM12-13 per pax (can't remember), good enuff to fill up the stomach, but nothing great to shout about.

Shogun2U Delivery again...

Some time before CNY, we were all busy with spring cleaning the house. Instead of goin out for tapau or quick lunch, we had food delivered to our doorstep!

Shogun2u was having some sort of promotion back then, around 30% discount on certain items, so I ordered:

sweet & sour fish rice

 kam heong chicken rice

 and herbal chicken leg rice

 there goes our lunch!

Service was good, food arrived on-time and these were still warm when they arrived.

Each of these would cost around RM10-12 (after discounted), not sure about the latest price now~~

worth to try if there's a promotion ;-)

Can't wait to berbuka puasa....

Ramadan could be one of the exciting month...especially for foodie like me coz I got to 'sapu' the bazaar in the evening with various local delicacies.

My must have items are murtabak, satay, rendang, nasi tomato....etc....

and not to forget nasi lemak

The below was taken last year, where I had this plate of nasi lemak at dirt cheap RM2 (this was not from the bazaar)

 and I sometimes also tapau the nasi lemak with fried chicken....The below was bought from student canteen at RM4.50

and I kinda miss this McD foldover, which I dun see it in McD yet, as they seem to be promoting Nasi McD these days.

it might look soggy here, but it taste good and quite filing.

thinking of Ramadan bazaar...it's time to drop by again...probably this weekend!

My late nite dinner/supper

I was famished after work and wanted to eat up an elephant....

It was over 10pm and most eateries already closed. There wasn't much choice left except a few - Old Town, Papparich, 24-hour McD/KFC.

But I wasn't keen on dining in a franchised eatery, so I hunted for some other kopitiam that opens 24 hour (or at least till midnite). There is one in the neighbourhood, situated in the shoplot next to a busy junction & facing Bank Islam.

I quickly parked my car nearby and ordered a big prawn noodles (RM7.50)

 and a few pieces of yong tau foo at RM1.60 per piece.

The ytf was served in a dark broth, not sure what they put in it that made it dark, but it tastes just like any normal msg soup.

 there goes my feast!

After that, went home with a satisfied tummy :-)

Curry Pan Mee @ Super Kitchen Chilli Pan Mee

This might look like some ordinary curry mee from kopitiam, but behold this is definitely not an ordinary curry mee....

It is curry pan mee from the popular chilli pan mee outlet.

Yea, yours truly finally decided to try out other items from the usual chili pan mee....

And never regretted it.

This bowl of curry pan mee is loaded with 2 huge taupok, sautéed long beans, and generous portions of their 5-spiced pork chop cutlets. The springly pan mee pairs well with the very thick curry ~ so lemak!

after this 'lemak' meal, I decided to burn off the calories by doing a window shopping...

Was happy to see these raya cookies up for sale as early as a week before the Ramadan starts (*this was last week punya story~~)

 seeing these cookies brings out the festivities atmosphere to this almost 'dead' hypermarket.
