Restoran Kolam Ikan 有间饭店 @ Bukit Tinggi Village, Pahang

It was on the second day of Chinese New Year 2013, after a day trip to Genting Highlands I took my family members to Bukit Tinggi village for a late lunch. And I remembered a friend who told me about this new place.
We were surprised that there were so many shops opened for business during this Chinese New Year holidays and were glad that the one we wanted to visit was opened too.
 It is located opposite BP petrol station right immediately after going through the tunnel underneath Karak Highway on your left.

This dish is very common in Bukit Tinggi, fried crispy thin slices of pork belly coated with sweet sauce. Good leh.
Marmite chicken for the boys & girls, they just love it.
A slimy and leafy green veggie called "Tian Chak". I always enjoy its succulency of this vegetable.
Field frog fried with slices of famous Bentong ginger was another gorgeous dish.
This fish is called "Kelah" was the best among all the dishes, it was sweet and fresh. Of course the most costly on the table.
Another plate of vegetable, the 4 Heavenly Kings comprising of petai, french beans, angle beans and brinjals. Sinful but delicious.
The sambal was fantastic too just do not forget about it when you are there.

Chap Goh Meh Ride in the City of KL

A total of 18 friends turned up at Dataran Merdeka on the morning of "Chap Goh" 15th Day of Chinese New Year which was the last day of celebration.
Everyone was expecting to eat first on the Stage 1 of this ride and I took them to Chinatown which was very near to Dataran Merdeka.
 Chinatown is always colourful and it was already crowded in the morning of the 15th day of CNY. We were there for our breakfast and everyone were satisfied with their meals and were ready to roll.

Stage 2 - Maha Vihara Temple @ Brickfields was the first temple we visited out of the three in our itinerary.
Stage 3 - Thean Hou Temple, a short & steep climb from Brickfields.
We took a short cut through this cemetary @ Sg. Besi to an Air Force Museum, everyone were very quiet as we carefully rode through the cemetary....shhh....
Wow... we were welcomed by the staff of TUDM and was well taken care by them. Terima kasih!!!
Many of us were not aware of this place and were excited when we were allowed to enter into the military compound.
 Of course I had a good time and fun in the museum.

A chance to try a flight simulator, though it was a short stint but at least we know a bit of how to fly a jet plane as compared to our two wheels machine. And that was Stage 4 @ Muzium TUDM.
From TUDM we crossed back to Jalan Bellamy using the cemetery road and headed to a new park called Taman Dusun (Stage 5)
After a brief ride through the park, we came to this shady road next to the old palace...so nice to ride along this route.
Stage 7 - So here we were at the old Istana, the entire group went into the palace where Jotaro & myself were keeping an eye on our bicycles at the entrance.
Stage 8 - Petaling Jaya via the Federal Highway motor lane, Jotaro and Siew Kheong coming from the rear were the sweepers of the day. Thank You!!!
Stage 8 - Siamese Temple @ Jalan Gasing Wat Chetawan
Stage 9 - Lunch at Raju banana leaf rice at Jalan Chantek (Off Jalan Gasing)
A VIP came over our table and chit chatted with us, he was my super senior from my secondary school (Sultan Badlishah School) in Kulim.
After a good meal of banana leaf rice, it was time to ride back to Kuala Lumpur
The last stage was slightly hitched by a drizzle but it did not dampen our spirit we proceeded and completed safely back to Dataran Merdeka. Thanks to every single riders who were cooperative and most importantly a safe ride was achieved besides the fun we had. See you again cheers!!!

Kedai Makanan SINKI @ Dengkil

It has been a while since I last visited Sinki, I used to patron it during the time when we were executing building contacts in Putrajaya and Dengkil is one of the few places closest to Putrajaya where we can eat non-halal food.
After a good ride at Putrajaya lakeside a few of us were gamed for a good lunch at Dengkil and I was glad that the group decided this eating house because I like the food here.

The signature fried fish coated with chill sauce gravy must try leh....
Wow!!! big fresh water prawns so enticing, fresh and tender.
RM148.00 for these 7 prawns....good but costly...once in a blue moon it's okay and for a good experience and a marvellous taste of big prawns.
Steamed Jelly chicken
I like this Paku veggie stir fired with belacan crunchy and not sappy at all. Lovely.
In deed it was a good lunch and a word of advice if you do want to pay too much for the meal then avoid ordering prawns.
This 70+ years old uncle has been selling these pau for more than 20 over years.
Some of us went over to the next shop next door and bought some "pau" back. Someone told me that the original pau maker is actually somewhere opposite this place, I have yet to confirm this.
