TK Bakery

Went for my 2nd outing on Day40 of MCO.
As usual I did some grocery shopping and bought more cakes and bread...LOLX!
It was a weekend hence there's a queue outside the shop.
 There are several pre-requisites before entering the shop (as shown in the 'announcement' below). Among them are:
 allows only 3 customers at one time.
customer is required to put on a face mask.
each person is allowed for a max 15 minutes inside the premise.
 the revised business hour is also written at the entrance
from 8am till 6pm daily
so many notices pasted at the entrance door...The hand sanitizer is also placed there.
A staff is stationed at the entrance to 'jaga pintu'. She only allows customer to get in after someone came out. The 'penjaga pintu' will also check our temperature and spray the hand sanitizer before we enter the shop. 
 Here's what I bought:
Walnut chocolate chip cake @ RM14.80
Egg tarts @ RM2.20 each
 and
Pandan kaya cake @ RM11.80
 This cake is stored in the fridge and is best eaten cold. The green pandan layer at the top can easily melt, hence it is protected by a piece of thin plastic sheet (to prevent it from sticking onto the box lid).
I like both the walnut choco chip and pandan kaya cakes.
The walnut cake is as good as the one in Lavender, which is sold at RM19.90, with bigger size (roundish shape but with lesser walnuts).
I will definitely buy walnut cake again, either from TK or Lavender...
Now that we can travel beyond 10km, i m looking forward to get the cake from Lavender😀

Fried Yee Mee

This plate of yee mee (egg noodles) was prepared with whatever ingredients left in the fridge.
 This was our lunch on a weekday...The ingredients are cabbage, pork slices, fishcakes and eggs.
No prawns or squid coz we did not manage to get those from the market.
 Meanwhile annoying sis is running out of ingredients too...She cooked her specialty with whatever left in her fridge - broccoli, carrots, potatoes and chicken leg...The Hero supermarket near her place has run out of veggie/meat supplies due to the shutdown of Selayang wholesale market.
The shutdown of the wholesale market has caused supply shortage to the mini/supermarts around Klang Valley.

Braised Pork with Mui Choy

We had braised pork with mui choy dish on one evening...It is one of my fav home-cooked dish.
The other 2 dishes here are ju hu char (without the cuttlefish, and with thickly-cut sengkuang) and fried kembong fish.
 The other day, our neighbour gave us this...
 no, not a pile of shit...
it is a cake!
the birthday boy was a four year old kid...
just some usual cream cake but i dun eat icing cream, so i scrapped off the cream topping.
 We had our weekly re-stock of bread and cakes....and some other groceries
As usual, my curry puffs from AEON Big...I had them for lunch on last Friday.
We also harvested a small pineapple from the garden...
This thing is still sitting in the kitchen...dunno if it is sweet or sour...

Annoying Sis Cooks Paprika Chicken Chop

Annoying sis cooked this during the weekend and sent to us for 'viewing' only....😭😭😭
Mashed potato, pasta and grilled chicken chop in paprika sauce are my fav...
How to 'Bon Appetit' la like that....she eats, while i could only 'dream on' and watch afar...
Our home 'lousy oven' has been kaputt for many years and is beyond repair, hence we couldn't bake or grill meat like she did...

Bitter Gourd Chicken

Due to the hot weather, we would usually eat cooling foods, such as pear, watermelon, citrus fruits etc...
We managed to get a bitter gourd...hence decided to cook it with chicken, my fav dish!
Here was our dinner on Tuesday....
On the left is onion omelette with shredded carrots.
As of today, most of us have been working-from-home for more than a month...by the time the MCO over i might have forgotten how to go to the office will feel awkward goin back to the office or working in an open environment (coz too used in the comfort of an enclosed room).
Even these days when i drove my car out for 'warm up' it feels 'different' like i have not been driving for ages.
Another thing that needs readjustment is to be 'decently' presentable before stepping out of the house...My current sluggish look (uncombed hair with crumpled clothes and sometimes did not even brush my teeth) can be a disastrous shock to some, lolx! such a total contrast when meeting clients onsite. Back in those days, not only i have to be decently presentable, but also have to be in pristine health coz falling sick in an abroad country is terrible/unpleasant.
TGIF bonus picture: looking 'decently' presentable back in year 2012.
MCO extended again till 12 May....dunno to be sad or happy....
Till then
Enjoy ur weekend!

One tomyum meehoon...please!

The other day i sibuk-sibuk 'annoyed' my annoying sis by asking on what she cooked for dinner...
It has been a few days since i last received her foodie pics
So the next day she sent me this:
A plate of tomyum fried meehoon (rice vermicelli).
Done with garnishing like those served in restaurant!
Thumbs up for decoration effort.
Tastewise: unable to give score, though the meehoon looks abit dry 😆
wuahahah....i m so mean!

Annoying Sis Ordered Down-To-Bones Without Inviting Me....

Annoying sis ordered DTB during the weekend....
It was a combo meal with pork ribs, pasta, mashed potato and coleslaw - a very hearty meal indeed!
The price is around RM60 in total, so roughly about RM30 per pax (which is more expensive than my KFC 'RM28.90' combo)...
But this is incomparable, different type of food~~~
The DTB restaurant is located in OUG, but i have never been there despite staying nearby, passed by a few times where each time seeing crowds in the shop.
Their 'babi pai guat' (pork rib) must be good!
This place even has a catchy tagline 'Sek Pai Guat, Hari Hari Kuat'
(loose translation: eat pork rib gets you strong everyday)

Dayeh Noodles

Went to try out this beef noodles shop, located opposite the parking lot where the weekly pasar malam (night market) is located. The shop is...
