0 comments Posted by Ah Chow at 6:27 PM

Havn't been updating this blog for a long time! Well, I guessed I've found a new reason for doing so. That is the arrival of my Nikon D3000. Although it's an entry level DSLR, well, that doesn't mean I can't learn to shoot great pictures, right? Got to start from somewhere. So, I decided to dedicate this blog to all my photo-log. Pictures that I took whenever I can squeeze in some free time. Just to make those lens strectch abit.
Ok, to start off, below are some pictures I took while visiting Haw Par Villa. Wow, the place is really run down and in deporable state. It used to be the 'IT' place for festive gatherings. Anyway, will write more about this place and the 'enconters' I had while taking these pictures....feel free to comment.

Food trail in Malaysia....(Part 1)

0 comments Posted by Ah Chow at 10:44 PM

I havn't been updating my blogs much these days. Reason is that work have been piling up and finally, I can find some breathing space. Wrong. Just that I've been engrossed in some new hobbies lately. Simple.

Anyway, I decided that this blog needs some refreshing content. I love food. Especially those up North. Where is North? Malaysia to be precise.


Singapore have always wanted to claim that 'We're the FOOD PARADISE'. Yah,right. If we're the FOOD PARADISE, then why some many Singaporean love to travel up Malaysia to get their fix? I mean, we brave through the horrible traffice jams, lousy and slow services at the check points just to taste that wonderful gourmet.


Even with the current stupid system of scanning our fingers at the checkpoints ( to deter terrorist, over-stayers, illegals...), we's rather bite the bullet and succum to the great food, which is just a stone's throw away.


Last week, I went up to JB (Johor Baru) to get my car serviced and was also on a mission to find great food. So I switched on my GPS and decided to seek it wisdom and advice.

It pointed to a place ( can't remember ) that promises it served the 'BEST Bah Kut Teh, probably in JB'. Well, since I'm hungry and my GPS says so, I decided to let it do the 'walking'.

Drove for around 11 km from Plentong and finally reached the location. First look, not too bad. There's a small lunch time crowd at the stall. Then I decided to order what's best. Bak Kut Teh and also spotted my favourite braised pig trotter with vinegar. Ok. Ordered both, without checking out the price. BIG MISTAKE.




Review: Food's not bad. Not too spicy. Not too salty. But the portion abit little.
Price: RM$20 including herbal drink.

Thank Mr GPS for showing me the 'most expensive Bak kut Teh in JB'.

Kite Flying Day @ Punggol

0 comments Posted by Ah Chow at 5:37 PM

The annual Pungol Kite Flying day...it was my 1st time attending this event and I personally feels that it needs lots of improvement. Serious improvement. For starters, it needs a location whereby there's lots of wind. The best place, as some seasoned kite fliers told me, would be the empty plot next to Seng Kang Sports Complex. Lots of wind.

But still, kudos to the organizers for bringing such an event to Punggol.

Concert and magical show to wow the crowds.

These are kites that have LEDs attached to it. Nice for night flying.

Never got the chance to see the planes take off.
