Sharing my Ideas, Views and Opinions !

If you read my movie review on The Last Airbender, I mentioned it is only Saturday and still have one more day before I call a week. I managed to watch this movie on Sunday itself and that complete my week with 3 cinema movies (Vampires Suck, The Last Airbender, The Expendables), 6 DVDs (The A-Team, Repo Man, Death at a Funeral, Nanny McPhee & The Big Bang, Flirting Scholar 2 and The Legend is Born – Ip Man) and 1 chinese series (Pu Song Ling – love story of man and wolf girl).

Familliar with Sylvester Stallone? If you are not familliar with him, probably you heard about RAMBO and ROCKY? If you still don’t know who he is, let me try to recall your memories. Ohh.. he also appeared in Demolition Man (1993), Judge Dredd (1995),Spy Kids 3D: Game Over (2003) and the most recent one is RAMBO (2008). I am speechless if you still don’t know who he is. 

If I keep blogging about movies .. I guess my readers will be so tired of it. So many nice movies nowadays. Many times when I watch movies, I always wanted to see all the famous actor/actress in the same movies. NOW, I found one … That is why I chose to blog this movie although I watched others too. It is called The Expandables.

Stallone is the director for this latest movie The Expendables. All the famous actors like Sylvester Stallone (RAMBO), Jason Statham (Transporter), Jet Li (Kiss of the Dragon), Dolph Lundgren (Universal Soldier), Randy Couture (famous wrestler), Steve Austin (The Longest Yard), Terry Crews (White Chicks), Mickey Rourke (Ironman 2) and Bruce Willis (Die Hard) were acting in this movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator & Governor of California) did dropped by too !

Having all these hardcore action actors, what you can expect are a lot of blood, violent, big gun fights, fighting but one thing that I never expect is Humor. Have you see Jet Li jokes? He is making this movie more lively in the softer way. Everyone burst out of laughter with his ”Chinese” jokes.  

I didn’t expect a good storyline and I was spot on. The storyline is so so only but a lot of hardcore actions (I meant war, gun fights ) and many times you get to see blood splashing everywhere (they must spend a lot of money on blood) and of coz martial arts. Below are the cool scene that I like most about the movie. 

This movie is the type of movie that must watch in cinema because of the sound effects (Sound of GUN). I managed to dig the trailer to share with you. Enjoy !

My nephew is a crazy fan of Pokemon. He always pika here and pika there. What can I do with this 4 years old? A bit annoying when I tried to catch some nap and when I work on something serious. Sometimes, his actions are just so cute and that is also how I learned about almost all the cartoon characters, not just limited to Pokemon only.

Knowing that I am abit paranoid with Pokemon, my friend claims that there is a restaurant called Pokemon Noodles House. Thought he is pulling my leg, so I put a bet of RM 10 and I lost it.. sigh..

The Pokemon Noodles House actually exist in Taman Seri Sinar, Kepong, about 7 min drive from Mont Kiara. The noodles house is very famous in this area and the place is usually crowded over the weekend. Many decided to have breakfast with family here.

This noodles house specialties are Pan Mee. They serve varities of Pan Mee including plain soup pan mee, loh pan me, assam pan mee, spicy pan mee, dry pan mee and tom yam pan mee.   Over here you have a choice of hand made or machine made pan mee. The price is ranging from RM 4-4.50 for small bowl and RM 4.50-5 for big bowl. Even a small bowl is big for me !

I ordered loh pan mee, tom yam pan mee and plain pan mee to give a try. The plain pan mee tastes better than most places, the loh pan mee and tom yam pan mee are very new to me. I tried tom yam before, I tried pan mee before but combination taste of those 2 in one bowl are just so amazing. Apparently, this place serves fish cake too which cost about RM 4 per piece.  

Don’t get shock when I finished all three bowl. It is not that I finished all three by myself. I have two helpers with me

This place closes every fortnight on Thursday and starts operating from 8am – 4 pm daily. If this place is nearby at your place, feel free to drop by.

Many of us know about Bak Kut Teh (pork bone tea ??.. direct translation.. hehe). I am not sure how many of you heard about Chic Kut Teh (chicken bone tea). Generally both ingredients/chinese herbs are the same except the main ingredient in Bak Kut Teh is from pork and Chic Kut Teh is from chicken. duh..

Thinking of having vegetarian food (trying to stay healthy) for dinner at first, led me to discover Uncle Jerry Chic Kut Teh. As you know, I am a meat lover. How can I survive without pork ? Chic Kut Teh is new to me and I am thinking of giving it a try.

Uncle Jerry Chick Kut Teh is located near May May Ais Kacang. The shop is without air condition – so be prepared to get sweaty ! This place can get crowded sometime that customer has to seat at the corridor.

Despite it is called Uncle Jerry Chic Kut Teh, Chick Kut Teh is not part of the menu. The main menu are Bak Kut Teh, Pokari – Pork Leg Stew, Stomach Pepper Soup, Mushroom Ginger Chicken, Pepper Chicken, Kampung Drunken Chicken, Taucu King Ribs and Vinegal Porkleg.

Considering I am a meat lover, I ordered bak kut teh. What so special about this bak kut teh? i) sit on top of the menu list ii) it is pork and not chicken iii) it serves with fried onion rice.. yummie..

Normally, Bak Kut Teh is famous with the soup itself but drinking the soup will make u very thirsty. Simply because they put too much MSG (monosodium glutamate). Uncle Jerry bak kut teh is otherwise. It did not make me feel thirsty.

Another yummie dish is called Pokari – Pork Leg Stew. The stew pork leg serves with hard boiled egg. The taste is just awesome. The sause + the fried onion rice just very nice.  The portions are just nice for 2 persons.

I only ordered 2 dishes this time and still have many more to go. I will come back again to try Stomach Pepper Soup, Mushroom Ginger Chicken, Pepper Chicken, Kampung Drunken Chicken, Taucu King Ribs and Vinegal Porkleg. For Bak Kut Teh + Pokari – Porkleg Stew + 2 dried onion rice + one yau char kuey only cost me about RM 24.90 (good deal for meat dishes)

Uncle Jerry Chic Kut Teh open everyday from 4 – 11 pm. It closes on every Wednesday. My personal experience tell me to avoid going on Sunday night because i) there is a pasar malam ii) hardly find parking iii) place will probably be crowded iv) you have to sit by the roadside v) the passerby will keep looking at what you eat !

Beside that, I have to say that this is indeed a great meat place on normal days.

Translation of words are so funny sometime. e.g. Joystick = batang gembira? (don’t think aside ya ). Let me not dig into details on what comes to your mind. This translation thinggy just happen to came across my mind when I visited Taman Batu. Sound awkward right ? dull? If the name change to Rock Garden, hmm.. maybe it sounds nicer.. 

While driving in this neighbourhood, my hungry mode kicks in. Not to mention that I am not familliar with this area, I have no clue where to find a proper meal. In the midst of searching, this restaurant caught my sight. It is called Restoran Taman Batu.

From the outside, it looks like normal and ordinary Chinese restaurant. When I walked in, it is also like a normal Chinese restaurant… hehe.. if you have been to most of the Chinese restaurants, you will know what I mean. Table with red or yellow cloth, normal plastic chair, teapot and more importantly, the pictures menu on the wall. So it will not be a problem if you don’t speak Chinese – you can just point !  

Speaking of good and delicious Cheong Jing fish in my last post at Restoran Tai Dee @ Kepong, this restaurant do serves Cheong Jing fish too. I ordered one cin cai (if you read my previous post, you will know what I meant), Cheong Jing fish,  steam eggs with soy sause and home made tofu. Funny enough, you will find most of the Chinese Restaurant serves home made tofu. It is really homemade? er..er.. I have no comments on that.

Despite not knowing the place well, all the 4 dishes that I ordered taste real good. The portions are just nice for 4. From chatting with the restaurant owner, I learned that the place usually get very crowded during the dinner time. The weekend or weekdays have no exceptions. Sometimes you have to queue for the seat.

Although I am new to that restaurant, I didn’t get slaughter after a good meals. All the nice dishes with drinks only cost about RM 63.40 for 4 pax. We all managed to finish all the food on tables before we continue our journey to hunt for more food so that we can share more with you next time.

I guess no need for me to say much when it comes to McDonald’s. It is a famous fast food chain in the world of course. Yeah .. when we talk about McDonald’s, we talk about burger. Big Mac, Double Cheeseburger, Fillet-O-Fish, McChicken and many more. I usually go for Sausage McMuffin with Egg for my breakfast and Double Cheeseburger with fries (my favorite) when I decided to have a quick lunch.

Having dinners in airport are always pricy. We usually take our dinner first to avoid spending more for the same quality of food. Besides, there are not many options especially in LCCT Terminal. Recently, they just built a food court which is about 5 min walk from the main terminal. Most of the stalls are still closed for renovations and they are currently serving limited choice of food. 

The McDonald’s at LCCT on the other hand, are always full with customers. The down side of having so many customers is the limited seats. Not only you have to wait for your seat but you also have to wait for a long que to purchase the meals. It is not because the service is slow, but the customers are just too many.

This time, I decided to hop in to McDonald’s. All because of the new burger called GCB – It’s love of first bite. I am not a person that buy into the marketing gimmick but this is otherwise. 

Although, I still don’t know what the GCB stands for but who cares. This burger is very yummie and I like this even more than Double Cheeseburger.

A GCB set meal consists of standard fries, drink and GCB burger. A Grilled Chicken Thigh with lettuce and Char-grilled Sause are just the right ingredients to make the burger special. By just adding the chilli sauce or tomato ketchup to the burger, the tastes are just perfectly blend.

The first bite experience is just so amazing. I never thought that grilled chicken thigh can be so good.  The taste must be from the Char-grilled sause. It is true indeed I fall in love on the first bite.

I am not sure about the price for this burger set at other places, but in LCCT, it costs me about RM28.45 for 2 sets. They are abit pricy as compared to other burger set but trying this once in a while is just splendid. This burger only available on limited time only. So, GRAB it while stock last. I am going to hunt for mine too.
