Walking of the street of Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman

Looking at the menu....


The ice lemon tea (RM4.30) , cheese and onion toast and onion soup (come with set dinner).....the highlight of the dinner!



I've never tasted it before, it's so delicious and unique.... fusion of western and chinese...


Black Pepper Chicken Chop, RM 16.90.

Chicken Chop Dinner set come with the toast and soup, ice lemon tea, and a banana kisses vanilla ice cream, RM29.99.
The main courses are in big portion!

The service is poor, we even had the experience of blackout on this 1st visit! Still dare to charge us 10% service charge.... =_=''



Red Tea Junction, Handmade Kung Fu Pan Mee

Red Tea Junction Kung Fu Pan Mee

Location: 28, Jalan Sri Sentosa 9A, Taman Sri Sentosa, P.J., Selangor.
Business hour: 8.00am - 3.00pm



It's a old dirty shop, in a residential area, not easy to find but we manage to find it because of the red painted big board.

The simple menu
Price not cheap oh, compared to other ordinary dirty kopitiam.
The special Pan Mee with soup, RM5 big bowl is just like normal portion.
Yummy....

The chewy and smooth Mee, unique feeling. Beside it was the Loh Hon Guo herb tea, RM 1.

Seafood Pan Mee in soup, RM5 small bowl, portion for kid, we are still hungry after finishing it..... special Pan Mee taste better.

Dried soy sauce Pan Mee with Seafood soup (separated), RM5 small bowl, also kid portion, not enough.
Conclusion: Taste is really good+ special, worth a try. But don't think I will go all the way far there to taste a second time in short future.... The aunty who receive order from customers has some kind of "attitude".....

Monday

KiKu Zakura


the "not very spacious" interior, got many seats, no worry for queue-ing at all.

KiKu Zakura Japanese Restaurant


樱菊日本料理



~ @ MidValley, Level 3

Date : 23 September 2007


Kimuchi soba with tempura + watermelon + gyoza + salad (Set), RM28
Hm, the soup is too salty, the salad is so-so + below average. The best thing was the gyoza! There was a whole shrimp in each gyoza beside minced chicken meat and vegetables, the thin outer layer of gyoza is pan-fried to crispy. The fullness of taste was just satisfaction. Among the best gyoza I've tasted.

Special set of the day, RM25. Comes with watermelon, salad and 2 pcs of fried salmon skin temaki.

Averagely so-so.

The fried salmon skin temaki can be the theme of the set. Good! With crispy fried salmon skin + cucumber + mayonaise + fish roe + rice rolled within the seaweed. Goes well with dip of soy sauce + wasabi. Taste so good with a good big bite into my mouth.

Service: Above average.

Hm, hot green tea charges RM2 each cup.....

Tuesday

Sayonara, Dino..... may u rest in peace

p/s: to understand better what happened, plz read "Dino's third miracle" in August.
This was taken 2 months ago, with Kiro, when both of them were still strong and healthy. Who would have expected them to fall sick after that....


30 Aug 2007 , this was the long awaited day that I was so longed to come back home to see my beloved family and doggies after 2 long months of away from home.

I miss my sick dogs very much, i wished to come back and give them a good hug.

However, when I reached home at midnight after a long ride of bus from KL back Johor, there was no one to welcome me with his wagging tail. I looked around for Dino, I looked for him under the car, I looked for him in front of the door, where he would usually be at. There was no sign of him.

I asked Daddy, "where is my DINO?"

Daddy answered with cold expression on his face, "Dino is gone. He is no longer here."

"What? What do u mean by he is gone? Where he went? Where is he?" I didn't understand what daddy was trying to tell. I asked mum again, "Where is Dino?"

"Dino passed away last wednesday" mummy answered.

Oh damn! Nobody told me anything about Dino!!! Not even when I was in the car on the way back home after daddy fetched me from the bus station! Not even when I occasionally asked sister on the phone about Dino before I come back! They just lied to me! Until the day I back home!

If I were to know Dino was in bad condition, I will not wait until holiday to come back. I was always told that Dino is doing well.....

Tears just flooded my eyes and rushed down my face whenever I could not stop myself from having the thoughts that I actually missed the last glance of my Dino even before he can still stand, before his death, before he was buried. I hate for being studying at KL, I hate exam during weekend, that I did not manage to come back earlier. I hate to have missed his last day.

This time, no more miracle. Dino's power has used up. I knew good things neva persist forever. God has decided to take him.



He was gone, forever. He was not able to wait for me until the day I grad.



And so gone my 1st dog, my beloved little brother.



I think I'm fine, as long as I don't listen to the new song from Ella (from the 3-gals-band, S.H.E), which was dedicated for her dog who had also just passed away. That song makes me think of my Dino badly. It makes me sad again. I won't listen to it anymore.



Dino, may you rest in peace with Miyo.


I will neva forget u, my dear. U will owiz be in my heart.

Goodbye, my luv.

2nd miracle of my beloved DINO

Which was the 2nd miracle on DINO, 2005 NOVEMBER.

A LETTER TO DINO
DINO:

这是我第二次为你哭了。 第一次是在你四个月大时。那时你跌断两条后腿,我们带你去看医生。医生给你照了X光后, 说你一辈子都站不起来了,为免以后辛苦,建议我们将你人道毁灭。当时我们都没有马上下决定,而是带你回家,想再观察你的情况。回家的一路上,我和大姐就一直哭一直哭。。。家中的第一只狗,才来到这个家没多久,这么快就要离开我们了?! 那时候,看着你拖着两条腿在地上爬,真的很心痛,以为你接下来的日子就只能瘫着了。

奇迹发生了。第三天,你站了起来。虽然还站不稳,但你的的确确是能够站了。也许是听到了我们为你祈祷,你自己也不愿这么快就放弃,以顽强的生命力,一定要再站起来。开心极了,我们每天为你擦药油,替你按摩,希望你能快点好起来。。。

这七年多来,你已经长得又可爱又聪明又健康又胖嘟嘟,活蹦乱跳,虽然永远没法以两脚站立太久,也跳不高,但都足够了。你为我们带来了这么多的欢笑。

这一次为你哭,但奇迹不会再发生。连续好几个夜晚,我都是哭着睡着。第二天醒来都希望一切只是一场恶梦,但现实总是残酷的。。。你已经回不来了。多希望你会像故事里的忠狗,即使是从几百哩远,也找得到回家的路。

大家都劝我看开点。放不下,我怎么能放得下?!一面要准备考试,一面又满脑子都是对你的不舍。你是我自一星期大时就带回家养的,从每天喂你喝奶,一直到你长大会吃饭,每天都在你身边。。。就像是家里的小儿子,全家都那么疼爱你。。。每次一想到连你的最后一面都看不到,我的心就都揪起来了。我对不起你。。。在你最无助的时候,我都没在你身边保护你,也想不出有任何方法可以阻止一切的发生。。。内疚的我,脑海里一直不停幻想你被抛弃时的表情,一定是楚楚可怜、一脸茫然。。。我还在KL做什么?若不是因为你,我怎么会想成为兽医?若不是因为你,我真的可以不顾反对、一直坚持到现在吗?如今我都还没当上兽医你就离开我了!

从来都没想过会这么快失去你。。。很后悔拥有你的时候没好好关心你。没有你,日子真的变得不一样了。晚餐时间再也听不到你的撒娇,你那像小鸟般的叫声。每当我心情不好时,你都会安慰我。。。每次回家都很期待,但这一次,不会再有你的迎接,再看不到你的尾巴转得像风扇那样快了。才刚为你买的骨头和零食,都没来得及让你吃完。。。开始有点害怕回到家的那一刻,看不见你的那一刻,我是不是会马上哭出来?!

你现在怎样了?还好吗?有没有被其他野狗欺负?一想到你从小就被灌坏,现在却得独自在外流浪受苦,眼泪就会不受控制地流下来。。。你这么胖,怎么抢得到食物?怎么吃得饱?你最怕下雨天了,遇到闪电打雷就全身发抖,现在你要到哪里去找避风港?你的脚若是受伤了该怎办?顽皮的小孩向你丢掷炮竹,你一定要快闪开!你憔悴时,会是什么样子?

我真的很想念你。。。每次一张张地翻看你的照片,就又忍不住哭了出来。看来我得将你的照片全藏起来了。你会不会自己跑回家来??? 我总是想起你跟我撒娇的样子, 你吃东西时的样子,跟我握手时兴奋的样子。。。你总会静静地坐下,要我帮你抓背;再慢慢地躺下,要我给你骚肚子。。。

希望你不要恨妈咪。。。不是妈咪的错,妈咪也舍不得将你抛弃的,你一定要记得,你生病时,都是谁在照顾你。。。不敢奢求你的原谅,但我们没别的办法了,因为你经常乱咬人,妈咪因为你赔了很多医药费给那些受害者。这一次,你又咬了不该咬的人,那个人很可恶,只是一点小伤,一滴血都没有流,她竟然要找律师告我们!我承认我很失败,不知道该如何教导你,念兽医有什么用,我连你都救不了,还能怎样去救其他动物。。。我们根本无法将你送往动物收容所,即使送了过去,你这般坏脾气,乱咬人,不久你也会被人道毁灭的。曾经也想过,若你一定会死,一定会在外面受苦,倒不如让你安乐死在我手上,起码不必受这么多的苦。。。但是生命又岂能这样由我们来决定??现在我唯一能为你做的只有每天祈祷,希望神会保佑你,让你再渡过难关,希望你能够适应外面的生活。。。你一定要争气。希望我们下辈子还能再重逢。。。


你没用的主人。。。

_________________________________________________________________

THE 2nd MIRACLE

今早还在睡梦中,我和妹妹就隐约听见熟悉的叫声。。。妹妹惊醒,大叫:“这是DINO的声音!DINO回来了!” ,就冲出去了。我蒙蒙眼,看着走进房里的豆豆,问:“DINO回来了啊?”

也跳下床,马上冲出屋外,真的看见我的DINO回来了!本来以为奇迹不会再发生的。。。神奇大宝宝,总有奇迹会发生在他身上!

看到DINO的第一个反应就是流泪。。。可怜的小胖子,四个星期内迅速瘦身,身上赘肉荡然无存,双眼还水汪汪的。他还认得我们! 还是我们以前那只可爱的大宝宝,但神情总多了份沧桑。

看到咪咪哭红了双眼,是咪咪想念DINO,不舍得他,才会再跟豆豆回到DINO被丢弃的地方去把他找回来的。DINO,看吧,最爱你的是咪咪噢!

找得回来真是太好了,一家团聚!这一次,不想再失去了,不会再放手。

CoDo, the Vietnamese Restaurant

CoDo Vietnamese Restaurant @ MidValley

Fried mushrooms
I myself love to eat fried mushroom ^_^ the one at Manhattan Fish Market still taste the best compared with this.

fried rice
- plain..... the rice grains all crushed....

Vietnamese chicken meat ball vermicelli soup
- quite ok, the vermicelli is unique, but the taste of the soup is a bit too sweet for a SOUP

Dragon fruit salad (bottom) & fried rice vermicelli roll (top)
- the fried rice roll I had at KLCC is better.
- Wow, recommend the diced dragon fruit seasoned with sesame seeds, crunchy peanuts, lime juice and floss of fried dried squid. yummy


Lotus seed pancake (left) & Fried Laici prawn balls (right)
- the left 1, one word "sighs..." don't know what it is.
- The prawn ball contained a laici each, it tastes really like a chinese DimSum. You won't believe u're in a Vietnamese restaurant when u eat it. It's nice, anyway.
