Mom bought a pack of cute cupcakes back. They are so mini. They are butter cakes baked in small cups that are usually for cookies. Aren’t they adorable?

Why It Can’t Be One?
By the way, the cruise that I had mentioned that day is no longer available. It’s selling like hot cakes. However, they have another offer for January-March and only RM838/person including free shore excursion. AWWW!!! So cheap! However *cry* the price only valid for 4 persons per sign up.
Saw MAS Golden Holiday package!!! MAS is having offer now!! Package to Perth is SOooO…cheap! BUT… It’s only for twin-sharing! GRRRRRRRRR… Make me even more angry. Air Asia have their holiday packages too and it’s on twin-sharing basis too! Sucks la!!!
Why all these travel packages only valid for 2 or more people travelling together? 🙁 Hate it! Hate it! Why can’t it be one? Why must be on twin-sharing basis?!?! Darn! So unfair! I know lar… It’s all because of quantity else they won’t be able to offer such affordable packages. If you plan to go alone, you have to pay two persons price. *ANGRY* It’s not easy to find a travel companion don’t even say find another 3 persons for a trip!
It’s so unfair for people that wants to travel alone and would like to take up those yummy offers. If you insist of going alone, then you have to pay for 2 persons’ fee to enjoy the package. 🙁 As if being single or travelling alone is a crime that people don’t want to recognise your singlehood. SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!
You might even said that, following the tour groups or whatever is no fun, better venture the place yourself. I do agree! I hate following tour groups. Besides, they are on twin-sharing basis too. However, even prices for Free & Easy packages only valid for twin-sharing. *CUSS* It’s so hard to find a suitable travel companion ok?!?!? If found the wrong one, your holiday will be ruin to the max. Of course, I cannot find a male companion unless we are NOT require to share a room. Or… Well.. Some might say, “plan your own travel then”. It’s not for everyone OK?!?!? At leats not for me! I’m not the lucky bunch that get to travel once or twice a year, I only have the chance only-God-knows-when. Besides, all my travels before(KL in 2006, S’pore in 2003 and Sibu almost 10 years ago) were pre-arranged and I didn’t require to do anything except tagged myself along.
My whole life… The furthest I’ve been to is KL. Pathetic huh? So… I need to start somewhere like signing up packages as a start to gain some experiences. When I’m more experienced, then I can go and plan my own holiday! Don’t know how to crawl already want to run meh? The main point is that all the packages need you to bring someone along!!!
*Sigh*… What to do? That’s how the world works, those who are singles usually will not have the privilege. I must… I must… I must… Find a boyfriend who is rich enough to bring me travel to anywhere in this world! NUH…. I don’t think my parents will even allow me to go travel with my boyfriend unless he’s my husband. That way, not only that I’ll have a travel companion but also a husband. Kill two birds with one stone! How nice! CRAP! Ignore that part.
Sze Hua Bak Kut Teh
HAHAHA… Another bak kut teh round! Two days in a row!!! It’s somewhere near the one we had yesterday. This one is nearer to Kaya & Toast. When you stand in between Chicking and Kaya & Toast, you’ll be able to see it. I’m not very sure of the bak kut teh shop’s name. It sounded like “Sze Hua Bak Kut Teh” and you can notice the Chinese name have the word “Johor” there. I guess… This is from Johor. Went there because Madam Tang’s was closed and so we let Sandra and her husband decide where to eat and he spotted BAK KUT TEH hahaha… That’s how we ended there.
All these cost RM40 for 4 persons including drinks. Much more expensive than the one I had yesterday. The taste is not as good as the one yesterday. The side orders such as the veggies(brinjail-left and siao bai chai-right) weren’t very nice. The “you cha kueh”(picture next to the chilies) is soft. According to Sandra’s husband whose hometown is in China said that it has the taste of home.
We were kinda shocked to see that the brinjail was green in colour! Didn’t expect it. We thought we were given the wrong dish but it’s correct. So funny. What a surprise. I didn’t know that brinjail is green 😛 I thought it’s purple and also I had never had any brinjail cooked this way. Now… Really a certified “suaku”. *LOL* Good thing I’m not the only one HAHAHA!!
Thanks for the treat Sandra 🙂 Nice meeting you.
Klang Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh
Seems like the trend of suing each other is rampant lately. Now… It’s the other way round. The one that is busy suing people now is going to be sued too. Defamation that’s it! None of my business anyway. *LOL*
There is no need to fly all the way to West Malaysia to get Klang Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh. You can now just go to Grandma Hand Made Noodle at the new shoplot opposite Petanak Market to get it.
Bak kut teh is a type of herbal soup that mainly served with pork meat/spare parts. It’s quite “heaty” and it’s good for consumption on days like these, rainy days.
The rice is not included in the set. One bowl of rice costs RM1. It’s not normal plain rice but… Umm… I don’t know how to explain 😛 Almost like chicken rice except it’s not that oily as chicken rice. The rice used is quite high quality type, each grain is long and slim and almost transparent. As for the bak kut teh, you can choose 3 types of pork meat and/or spare parts. The soup also comes with mushroom, fried bean curd, bean stick and vegetable. Here are the pricings:
One person: RM6
Two persons: RM11
Three persons: RM16.50
Four persons: 22.00
Five persons: RM27.50
Of course not to forget the dipping sauce. It’s just simply chopped garlics and chillies(the small dish on the left of the rice) with black soy sauce.
Besides that, you can order side dishes to go with your bak kut teh. Here’s oil vegetable, basically just vegetable sauteed with chopped garlics(RM4, -_-” so expensive, very small plate, quite salty), and needle mushroom herbal soup(RM2), the herbal soup used is not the same as the one used for bak kut teh.
This place is recommeded. Though I’m not a bak kut teh fan but I don’t have much to complain except the expensive and salty veggies. The bak kut teh itself is just nice. The bak kut teh set is much cheaper compare to another shop with several branches around Kuching that specialised in bak kut teh.
BBQ Lamb @ Jalan Song
I want to go for a cruise this year!!! I need to find 2 more people so that can get the offer price of RM820/person. If I don’t have 4 people to sign up together, then the plan is off. Who wants to go? Of course you have to pay for your own expenditures. The 4 of us will be sharing one room. It’s a 4D3N Singapore-Langkawi-Phuket-Singapore or there’s another choice of Singapore-Penang-Phuket-Singapore. We’ll fly to JB via Air Asia then go to Singapore. That’s the initial plan. Travel time would be somewhere in August. Any taker?
Went for supper last night. People always said that the best BBQ lamb in Kuching is at Jalan Song, Expert Food Court. I DISGRACE! I felt cheated going there to try it out. Maybe it’s just not my type.
Luckily I only ordered the smallest one, RM10. There are 3 sizes, the medium one is RM15 and the large one is RM20. I was having difficulty eating it. It’s so salty and the sauce was sour. Summore, there is no BBQ smell at all. I heard that mint sauce is used to pour over the meat but I didn’t taste any mint sauce in the sauce. However, I saw a bit of mint leaves in there but the sourish taste had empowered the mint sauce; The saltiness had empowered the lamb aroma. I felt as if I’m having salted meat. Gone were all the original tastes. It’s so not right!
