Food Diaries: JB

Went back to JB last weekend. Sahaja balik bersantai dan makan-makan.

If balik JB my mom will cook up a storm with sajian-sajian seperti rojak, ketam masak lemak, sambal udang, nasi tomato dan pelbagai lagi la. Berat jua akan naik. Tsk.

Also there are a few favorite places that I like to frequent to get my fix on certain food yang hanya ada di JB. Or more like aku rase paling sedap kat situ la. Among the places yang sempat dikunjungi or food yang sempat disantap are as below shown in pics.

The femes goreng pisang at Galeri Mawar. (Kim Florist tu tadek kena mengena). The goreng pisang is being sold at the pondok biru ituh. Nowadays there are also some chairs and tables setup just outside the pondok for people to enjoy their plate of goreng pisang with their favorite drinks ala-ala al fresco.

I think it was famous because the Sultanah like to singgah there to get her goreng pisang fix. It was good la. But not as good as the goreng pisang at the juction to Batu Gajah tu (dekat Tronoh). If that goreng pisang is combine with kuah cili kicap ... sangat best.

Best eaten while being accompanied with a book and teh ais. Heh. Sheema's book to be exact. Takpe Sheema, buku itu sudah dibalut.

At first I thought I would take a pass on the yong tau fu then my husband sound "Nanti bile dah balik KL bising-bising cakap tak bawak gi makan yong tau fu". Wahaha. So we went to Kampung Melayu and was delighted to find that maseh ade banyak lagi. Sangat suke.


ABC Ceklat. Wow wheee! Tapi best jika dikongsi as was too full. Both of us didn't manage to habiskan the ABC. So when we came back dari melantak ABC and yong tau fu adalah sangat kenyang.

Itu je la yang sempat di-snap. The others, makan home cooked meal sahaja.

Other than eating, manage to also catch the movie Dragonball at the Cathay Cineplex. Kinda blah! My viewing pleasure was also diminished by a person sitting in front where kepala die telah memblock 1/4 of my view of the screen. Also there was this obnoxious girl who keeps on giggling and mentioning to her boyfriend of all the stuffs that is also in the comic. Ugh, so you read the comics. So does half of the viewers in the cinema. I don't hear them mentioning it out aloud every 5 minutes. Tolonglah sepak diri sendiri if you are these type of person when watching a movie. Jika mahu berbincang, just wait after the movie and keluarkan all of your knowledge at makan-makan sessions.

All these stuffs just make you feel like buying pirated DVDs je ok. Sakit hati.

Huhuh... wat sendri je Dila. That's what I always do kalau dah kepingin sangat.

Tumbuk cili, bawang putih and gula and add it to the kicap and water a bit. Sometimes I put just a little bit of limau nipis in it.

Aaahh i noticed the cili kicap. I first went to JB when I was form 5, first encounter with Goreng Pisang makan dgn cili kicap. Mula2 mcm pelik, tp pakcik tuh mcm pelik tgk kitorang dok order again and again, die tny, korang tak penah makan cicah cili kicap ke? "Tak penah". Patut lee. Haha. Mmg pelik tp sedap. rupa2nya org Johor mmg makan gitu.

Bab movie lak, I went out with this girl to watch a movie, lps tuh die tny, "Why the silent?" I was like, "Ermm... because we are watching the movie??" "Wah concentratenye." Blerghh. Some people just love talking while watching.

Sheema:
Itu adalah yong tau fu sup yg paling sdap sekali. For moi and the family and la.


Iceroll:
Huhuh. The one bad thing about cili kicap is, it makes it harder to stop eating goreng pisang once sudah dicicah. Bile dah habis sume pisang goreng itu, then I add all the kerak in the kuah and makan kerak tu pulak. Hoho...

Hahaha... lepas tuh ko ajak die tengok wayang lagi tak? Ade ke die bising-bising tanya macam-macam dalam cinema?

OMG you're a fan of the Batu Gajah pisang goreng too eh! The girls and I drive out there at least once a week, usually on hot evenings during the weekdays after a blah day at class. The texture is one of a kind I think, I'm not sure how they make the batter so unique. And yeah I'm always dipping them in the chilli sauce as a sad substitute for the awesome cili kicap.

I miss home. Can't wait to go back this week yeay!

Aside from the movie, I think you had a great time in good ol JB!

PS: Iceroll, ditch the bitch already. LOL

That goreng pisang is the best. If nampak makcik tu jual mesti beli. And the cekodok is ginormous.

dils, kedai yg jual yong tou fu & ABC tu nama apa eh? different kedai ke kedai yg sama? ke kat kampung melayu tu mmg ada satu kedai aje? and galeri mawar tu kat area mane...? ingat nak pi jb this weekend. tingin nak rase sbb dlm gambaw tu nampak sodap :D
Dils said…
Tak ingat la nama gerai tu. Die kat kampung Melayu nye food court. Serious tak ingat nama jalan situ and nama gerai. Gerai die mengadap rumah-rumah. Depan gerai tu ade orang jual sate and otak2. Heh... lain kali kalau i go again, bole la nak double confirm nama jalan and nama gerai.

Galeri MAWAR, is in between Hyatt Regency hotel and E.C (English College or Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar). Try cari dua landmark ni, jumpa la Mawar tu.

CNY trips like many other before me

So, I had finally made it to Cameron Highlands after 17 years last I had step there. Nothing to say much here because I am sure many of you had gone there and know your way and experience more than me. As I make the trip , reached there morning and going back late afternoon. Before even reaching Cameron I needed to make scenic stops to go to the restrooms.  Above picture 1: Ridiculously 3 cute same colored cats whom were mewing quite loudly and is just so cute I wish I can adopt them all. Above picture 2: A lovely sungai that make me wish I can dip in tapi tak sempat sebab nak gi Cameron.  Above picture 3: A ridiculously lovely view from my toilet stall. I doubt there is a more scenic views in a toilet stall anywhere else.  We reached Cameron at 10 am, after departing from KL close to 6 am. Massive jam ok. Memula rase nak patah balik je. Tayar bas tercabut, jam. Kete rusak, jam. Kete kena saman polis, jam. So we didn't make it in time to my husband's favorite br...

New arrival

I have delivered a healthy baby boy! Currently am dealing with all the new stuffs associated with new mother, breastfeeding woes, sleepless night, murderous tendencies at 3am towards little one. So a bit late in updating. In short, I gave birth to this little bundle of cuteness at 5.37pm on the 3rd of August 2012 on my 38th weeks. Unexpected ( somewhat ) delivery ni, as I have to be induced and later gave birth to him via c-section. EDD 14th Aug, and sepatutnye also I was suppose to be induce today instead last week, tapi mende nak jadi. As long as semua selamat. Anyhow will update more later. In cat news, Bobby kena stay at the vet due to lung infection. :( Sedihhh. Hope he gets better soon. Tak tahu how it happened, but it does and hope kucing lain tak kena.
