Since i never tried before food blog posting method, today a bit itchy butt want to try to blog about the other day my trip to lunch in SS2. Appearantly, these just some pictures - of the food and the place itself.
Most of us have heard a sad story about an accident involving alcohol. In my life I have never encountered an alcohol related accident as tragic and devastating as this one. Just looking at the picture brings tears to my eyes. It’s just a BLOODY WASTE !!!!!!
I shall mourn for days…. But look at the bright side. It’s not Heineken, or KilKenny.

Been pending to draft it, and type it into Wordpress. Was written in the notepad for the past month.
First time this year, I’ve enjoying more “yee sang” or “lou sang” than I expected. This is because I would say that it takes me more than 3 times for that event.
The first session started earlier with my bunch of colleagues. We had a buffet lunch at Jogoya. They provided us a “yee sang” at the end of the feasting if we had a minimum number of 8 pax. It is one of the best because we can top up the salmon up to our liking. At the end, it ended up covering the entire dish. Thinking about it now makes me salivating….
The second time was having it with the bunch of bloggers. The usual gang namely Linpeh, 9393, Angel, Wingz, Huei, Boredworkers, JKN, Kenny Ng and Young Man AceOne HamHai. During this session, we have the performance from the YMCA AceOne. On top of that, we got LinPeh to become our lead singer while the rest acted as the groupie behind, known as the doggies…. Tell you what, we are going to participate in the Gang Starz - to be the best in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Some say… Hattyai too. Let me present you… “Linpeh and the Doggies”. Err, photos are not allowed as it will affected our images.
Almost forgot, that after the bloggers session which is 2nd session, I was having it with my boss and colleagues during lunch time the next day. It was because boss kept saying that he haven’t yet to lou sang despite the Chinese New Year is around the corner. Having it at a nearby economical restaurant. We are footing dutch. =.=’
The fourth session was an impromptu session with couples of ex-colleagues from previous employment. They also bringing their friends along too to make the number. Too less doesn’t justify for a “lou sang” coz by going 8 pax, it’s auspicious enough. This round it was far more cheaper as we were ordering the ala carte instead. I was too hungry as we reached at “Tung Jing” around 8pm. Really late for dinner time. Mind you. I didn’t manage to capture the “yee sang” dish this time around.
The next day, I had another dinner session with Latkyok friends. These are the annual LatKyok New Year Dinner. Organized by Dan, we gathered at Crystal Palm in Jalan Ipoh on the 6th of CNY. This time is slightly costly due to the fact that the food is way…. delicious. Nice and it comes with plenty of abalone strip in the “yee sang”.
The sixth session was with my Setapakians but due to the arrangement, we had it at the Ship. It wasn’t a good atmosphere because it is really a western style. The lunch wasn’t as expected because we are having western food. Maybe next time lah coz’ we haven’t been meet up like this for the last 7 years.
The seventh session was with my college friends. We had it at the Six Happiness, Setapak. For quite some time haven’t seen them, it was a nice and good get together. Likewise, I forgotten to capture the “yee sang” dish.
Last, but not least was the final session with my company principal. She say that she lastly recalled that she haven’t actually had the opportunity to have a “yee sang” with my colleagues and I. It was kind of rush and last minute thing. Here’s the pic.
A short info on the “yee sang” one might asked. Please read exerpt from the wikipedia for more info. Here’s the excerpt.
Yusheng or yee sang (Chinese: 鱼生; pinyin: yúshēng) is a Chinese-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Literally translated, “yusheng” means “raw fish”, though it can also be taken to symbolise abundance, prosperity and vigor.
Got myself a Heineken Draught Keg for 5L. Damn smooth compared to cans or bottles. And it’s worth it too.
Some facts about the keg
How I spent my 3 days annual leave
October 9th, 2006Edible Sins, Understanding Me, Myself 8 CommentsLast week I took a straight 3 days off work. Theorically la of course. This is because I need to attend my nephew wedding up north with my mom.
Due to the work commitment, I have arranged a meeting with my customer on Wednesday in Ipoh. Therefore, despite my annual leave I met up with my customer to discuss on the solution for them. Some would say that I am such a “sohai” that even I am on leave, I still be working and meeting up with customer. Can I say I am hungry? My mom was with me for the outstation trip and I dropped her off at my aunt place before I meet up with the customer. My colleague and I went to Onn Kei for famous “Ipoh Taugeh Chicken” or “beansprouts chicken” but to our dismay, they didn’t open that day. Talk about bad timing. Furthermore, Lou Wong also open their shop late in the evening. Since I will be staying overnight in Ipoh, my colleague Alex went to buy Ipoh Salted Chicken and some biscuits back to KL.
My mom and I sleepover at my aunt place for a night before heading to Jawi. The next morning before we embark on the journey, we went to the famous dim sum in Ipoh called Foh San restaurant. They only sell dim sum in the morning until afternoon. My uncle was old time there since he been driving taxi in Ipoh for years. Practically more than 40 years. So, he knew quite a lot of people in that area. So, we had a good seating for the dim sum. Their famous dish is the fish ball. Fresh and made daily.
We reached Jawi in the afternoon and after I drop my mom at my brother house, I took a nap until 3pm before heading to Penang island. I told EY (reallybites) that I wanted to go for Penang Laksa and she was kind enough to spare time to bring me out to new lane for food. Unlike someone who told me that he had presentation the next day and then in the afternoon that day, he went out “kai-kai”. Anyway, we have Penang Laksa, Penang Chee Cheong Fun, Penang Or Jeng (Fried Oyster) and Penang Char Kueh Tiauw. I would say the food is great since I have a good companion for the food. (She is a food lover) and she can be a good tour guide. :p
She picked me up at Tesco since that’s the only place I am familar with plus free parking space. Hehe… and after dinner with EY, I returned to the mainland. I met up with my ex-coursemate in Butterworth. He was working as petrol attendant there and we went for a drink until 11pm before I headed back to Jawi. It been quite some time since I met him and was talking about lots of stuff. From his relationship to work and from work to rubbish. Men.
The next day, I checked my emails and one of my dearly customer in Penang requested me to come into his office. He wanted me to rebind the documents since I courier him the admended pages only. So, want or don’t want I also have to go to Penang island again. I had a lunch with them at Crystal Point’s Moi Yuan and the food is not bad. Initally we wanted to go to Chef & Brew but the place is damn freaking crowded. It’s like free food there. Due to the time constraint, we ended up with Moi Yuan. Feeling full, I travelled around the island to find the famous Ghee Hiang’s Tau Sar Pheah. Thus I acted smart and drive blindly around the island without knowing the way to the place. Ended I making plenty of calls back to Alex since he is a Penangites. With his guidance here and there, I manage to locate the Ghee Hiang.
That night, I went into my dad’s birthplace which is Tanjung Piandang (12 km from Parit Buntar). It is a fishery village and my siblings are staying there. I decided to pay them a visit and it was sweet to see my nephews. They went for the Lantern Festival in their school, Nam Hua Primary. Unlike cities and towns, the atmosphere here was different. All the kids are enjoying the traditional mid autumn festival. The road was blocked to allow kids to walk around with their lanterns. Kinda big event there.
The next day was my nephew wedding and after the wedding dinner, my mom and I travelled back to KL. However, the wedding stuff and things happened during the wedding I will write about it in my next post.
The food I had with EY is after the jump
