Sorry, the photo above is a bit blur....I was shivering because.the centralized aircon in this building is really cold....remember to bring along your jacket! lol!

I would normally bring my family to this karoake in Subang Jaya whenever time permits. It is a good way to spend quality time with my family and they enjoy singing here very much. This is a family concept karaoke, so you will see many family with little kids there during the weekend. The cost per person is RM11.90 (++) (morning/noon session. The price includes a private karoake room usage, semi buffet (drinks, cakes, fruits) and a choice of lunch meal for each person. This offer is only valid from 11am to 2pm but if the afternoon session is not fully booked, they will extend the time to 3pm for you! lol!
Check out their 'huge' and well equiped larger party room.........very nice!

The buffet section which is located next to the reception counter.........

Sorry ahh....all the food were half eaten before I remember to take photos.......too busy singing away! ha ha ha!

This is the Sin Chiew Fried Bihun. Quite nice....recomended.

Baked Eggs Recipe


I adapted this Baked Eggs from one of Lena's (Frozen Wings) Blog recipe. I did not use basil leaves here because I do not want to go outside my house at 4am plus in the morning to pluck the basil that I have planted in pots. Anyway, my son had this hearthy and healthy breakfast before leaving for school. Everyone in my family loves this simple Baked Eggs recipe. It is a good way to make use of your day old leftover bread.

Ingredients
Bread, enough to cover your baking pan
Tomato, 1 pc, cut into slices
Potato, 1 large, boiled till soft, cut into bite sizes
Bacon, 1/2 bowl, cut into small bits
Onions, 1 pc, cut into thin slices
Black Pepper, as toppings
Cheese, as toppings
Eggs, 4 pcs

Pour a litte water into a frying pan and put in the bacon. Fry until bacon is crispy. This is a good way to make the oil in the bacon come out and use it to fry the bacon with it. Put in the onions and saute it until fragrant. Put the crispy bacon and onions aside. Spread some oil evenly on the baking tray. Line the bottom of the pan with bread slices. Put in the boiled potatoes, bacon and onions. Cover the top with tomato slices. Gently break the eggs on top of all the other ingredients. Top everything with cheese and black pepper. Bake in preheated oven at 200 Deg C for 15 minutes. Serve while still hot.

Genie Chuo (卓文萱, Genie Zhuo, Xuan Xuan (萱萱), Xiao Mi (小咪)) Meeting Fans at Selayang Mall


My kids have been reminding me for weeks about their favourite Taiwanese Mandopop and actress, Genie Zhuo meeting the fans session in Selayang mall. They have been singing most of her songs during our family numerous karaoke outings during the weekends. So, today I have to drive them there to see Genie Chuo. 
We were late because I mistaken another mall for Selayang mall. Anyway, we made it just on time and the kids rushed into the centre court of Selayang Mall while I looked for parking.

By the time I parked the car and got down from the lifts, fans were already queueing up to get the artist autograph.
I was probably the oldest guy there, surrounded by a crowd of teenagers! LOL!


My kids waiting for Genie to sign her poster and latest album, Just The Way I Am.

After a meal at MC D, they went back happily with an autograph poster........and

Genie's latest album which my kids used their pocket money to buy. Cost them RM45.....

Simple & Nice Stir Fried Sang Yee Fish Fillet with Ginger and Spring Onions Recipe

I chanced upon a fishmonger selling sang yee (snakehead, haruan) fish fillet at the wet market and quickly bought a plate. It has been quite some time ago since my family ate Sang Yee fish. I love the smooth and sweet texture of this fish and the addition of a little corn flour to this recipe make it even smoother.
You can eat this dish with either steamed rice or porridge.

Ingredients
Sang Yee or any type of fish you fancy, fillet, 500 gms
Ginger, 5 slices
Spring Onions, 2 stalks, cut into 1 " length
Shao Shing Chiew, 1 teaspoon
Corn flour and water mixture
Sesame Oil, a few drops
Salt to taste
Garlic, 3 cloves, chopped finely
Onions, 1 pc, cut into four

Heat up wok and pour in around 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Saute ginger, garlic and onions until fragrant. Put in the fish fillet. Stir fry for a short while or until the fillet is cooked. Add sesame oil, shao shing chiew and salt to taste. Pour in a little corn flour and water mixture. Throw in the spring onions.
Serve  Stir Fried Sang Yee Fish Fillet with Ginger & Spring onion while still hot!

Coffee Shop Talk With my American Friend - Rare Earth Plant


My morning coffee shop talk with my American friend continues;.........the controversial rare earth plant.

John : Hey Pete, good morning.

Pete : Hi John, good morning. How's your night outing with Ah Beng last night? You guys manage to catch any 'radiation' from the girls that hang out at the night spot? ha ha ha!

John : Ho ho, no Pete. Talking about radiation, I think these protesters are going all out against the rare earth plant set up.

Ah Beng : What rare earth yo? Earth also got rare wan(one) meh?

Ah Lian : ha ha ha, Rare, Medium and Well Done Steak I know lah! John taught me wan.....

Ahmad : he he he, sedikit masak (rare), separuh masak(medium) and masak penuh (well done).

Pete : ha ha ha! Rare Earth are metals or minerals that are found scattered around our earth crust, very      seldom in concentrated area, thus the name Rare.....
Most of  the gadgets and devices you use today have these elements in them. However, the by product or waste of these useful metal are mild radiactive slurries......and also very toxic acid is used in the refining process.

Ah Lian : ooooo, wei, how come you know so much?

Pete : I love to read books about particle physics and nuclear stuff! Maybe, I should apply for a job there.......

Ah Lian : Better not Pete,......nanti, your 'thing' kenot (cannot) function properly, then you know....ha ha ha

John :  So, Ah Beng, you better wear Lead (plumbum) swimming trunk when you go swimming in the east coast next time........or else you will find funny things happening to your 'little brother'! ha ha ha

Ah Beng : Whatttt! Takut (scared) lerrrr!

Ahmad : Wah, like that, ask these people to go back their country lah!

Pete : But, they already invested so much to set up the plant leh!

Ahmad : Itu dia orang punya pasal lah! Mereka kata tak bahaya, kenapa tak bina kilang nadir bumi (rare earth) di Putrajaya! Di belakang jamban rumah mereka tu lagi baik !
(That is their own problem. If it is not dangerous, then ask them to build the plant in Putrajaya. Next to their own home toilet even better)
