Soo Kee Restaurant @ Imbi

Had my dinner at Restaurant Soo Kee at Jalan Imbi yesterday. It is famous for the 'ngao hor' and 'fresh prawn mee'.




Frog meat. They weren't fresh because the meat is not sweet as they are supposed to be.

tofu with minced meat

Reminder: if you are there to try out the dishes, dun ever order the homely dishes. The homely dishes are just so-so or even below so-so level. Go to try their infamous 'ngao hor'.

PS: I met our minister Datuk Ong Tee Kiat when i was there.

Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong's Gallery

Last-minute decision to Genting. It was just a few hours trip to genting last week with my family. I brought along my laptop to genting so that i could online at Starbucks. My parents went into the casino and they didn't know i didn't want to get in. So they just walked in and i was behind them. They only knew it when i said bye to them because they expected me to go in with them. Actually i think i could go in because there was only one guard at the entrance at that time and it wasn't that strict. At least they didn't check my brother's ic. Well, i went for a stroll to look for any sport car..hahaha. However, i managed to see only an Audi TT. sigh...After a walk, i went online in Starbucks.

There is one thing to share with you is that i went to Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong's gallery. It was newly opened at Genting Hotel. It provides visual presentation for certain time slot.
It has a full collection of the growth of Genting and the elaboration of Tan Sri's hard work.

Yumcha spot@sandakan

If you are used to yumcha at night, Jesselton is a happening place in sandakan. Before this, Equator is the most happening place for yumcha. The cake in Equator is still remained the best after years.
This is the first time i've been to Jesselton with my buddies. Actually it's concept is almost as similar as Starbucks. It is a self-service basis and it provides wireless for the customers to access to internet at their shop.

Smelly Bean Curd

The first time ever try 'smelly bean curd'. Actually i wanted to try this very long time ago. But i couldn't take the smell. The smell is reallllllllllllly smelly like the odor from the canal! Maybe even worse than that. However, my auntie loves it so much and she must buy this whenever she comes to KL. Well, i persuade myself to try it as well. the smell wasn't that strong this time. It was very crunchy and had no smell when u put it in your mouth. I dip the chili sauce to cover the 'longkang' smell.

the preserved cabbage. Just like kimchi
