Where Had I'd Been?

It'd been 10days since the last time I updated my blog. 10days sure is a long time. Sure a lot of things can be done in 10days time! One can finished up his/ her school assignments, essays or reports given by their teacher. One can travels the country nearby for a short holiday in 10days time too!

And I had disappeared for 10days without leaving message in my Cbox and also not updating my blog! and The questions are ...

[Am I really busy?]

[Where am I in this 10days time?] and [What had I done?]

Okay, in this 10days time. I was busy... busy queuing...

Was busy queuing to Kuala Lurah! [=.=!!] Hahaha! Sure lots of patience and efforts contributed!!!

[皇天不负苦心人] Tuhan tak akan menyusahkan seseorang yang ada hati!!! Err~ memang tak akan menyusahkan seseorang yang ada hati. Kalau seseorang itu tak ada hati, itu bukan lagi susah.. SEKSA tuu! Hahaha! =D

And they said: "一种米养百种的人" One type of rice that feed hundred types of people as in characteristics. The good or bad! tall or short, fat or thin, forgetful, sly, mean, cruel, cute, pretty, gentle and a lot more.

Then we have "一个Kuala Lurah来了百种人" One Kuala Lurah that comes hundred types of people!

Examples: The people that want to go Limbang, Temburong, Trusan, Lawas then Sabah also have to pass by Kuala Lurah. The people that work in Brunei who drive their own car from Malaysia have to go down to Kuala Lurah to renew its vehicle's permit once month. The people that hunger for Pub & Dancing will go to Kuala Lurah too! The lounges & pubs there will amaze you! Hehehe!

[Jangan Gila Donggg~] Hahaha.

The people that want to earn some money in buying alcohol from Kuala Lurah and then sell it double price in Brunei since it's a dangerous business that involves lot of RISK! haha!

The people that like to drink Beer/ Alcohol! I'm one of it too..

But slightly different one too! =P

The menu that must (WAJIB) be order in Kuala Lurah!!! So far, I'd never miss the chance of eating it and not going to miss it in the future time too!

Owww... Chicken Wings, this is the promise that I made with you!!! Never ever miss ordering you! Hiak Hiak.

The dish that he will never miss in Kuala Lurah!

Steamed-Chicken! Very soft and slippery oh!!! KUT KUT one... and whose favorite dish could it be?

"Owww... Sorry Andy... I'll behave from today. Even give me the sky do guts, I also don't dare to snatch ah!" Translate it to Cantonese... =D

Then I have to sing the song, Please Forgive Me - Micheal Learns To Rock! Hahaha.

Kuala Lurah is not all about ordering meat, meat and MEAT! They have their trademark vegetable dish too...

Sambal Lambiding!!!

The sausages that traveled all the way from TAIWAN to Kuala Lurah. So it's called Taiwan Sausage [台湾香肠]

There were fights happened in Kuala Lurah too! Places that alcohol are allow to be sells and drinks! That's naturally expected...No free lunch in the world! You want ENJOY!!! You have to pay the price!!!

Let's see what happened when a person got drunk and how's the fight started normally! Hehe.

Ahh!!! I'm tired of all these thing.. Let it be!!! then some will be...

All these is none of my business!!! I'll just sit down and pretending nothing is happening!!!

And as always after the fight, there will be PEACE among them!!!

That's how the peribahasa "不打不相识" starts!!!
Hahaha!

Coffee-Bean or Starbucks ?

These are very familiar in our Chinese's Drama or Movie!!!

"I want you to make your decision now!!! To choose your mum or your wife!!! You want me or her??? If you choose her, go move outside!!!" or "If you choose her, you'll sleep outside tonight!!!"

"Dear, one day if me and your mum fall into the river. Who will you save first?"

Everyday we have lots of decisions to make! But decision making isn't that easy as we think!!!

"Where you want to go? Shopping at Gadong or Kiulap?" or "What to eat for dinner later? Ayam Penyet from Warung num3? It's nice and KICK!!! But then, Mee Mamak is nice too!!!"

"What to wear later? This blue t-shirt that match my pants? or this red t-shirt that match my shoes?"

"Want to go where to grab a nice drink?"

Coffee-Bean where we can have the Yummy Ice-Blended???

Ice-Blended Pure Vanilla

Starbucks Coffee is nice too!!! They got Bigger cups! Hahaha!

Come on! Where to go leii???

Coffee-Bean???

Starbucks???

There are people who're fast when come it. But a lot seems to be stuck in it!!! Wondering and thinking are we making the right choice?

Still thinking!!! [Hmmph!!! Where to off to? Coffee-Bean? Starbucks?]

There is one Chinese quote I ever heard! [新不如臼,臼不如新. 新新臼臼, 到后来都是一场空!] = the new one that can't compare with the old, the old one that can't compare with the new! new and old, in the end it'll be blank!!!

In hockien, there is one! [Keng lai keng ki, ka tan keng tio zhi lei Chao Ngeng Ngeng!!!] = "Choose here and there, later had chosed the Bad one!!!"

For me!!! It'll be NICE if we can...

If we can have the BOTH of it!!! HAHAHA! [两全齐美] HaHaHaHaHa!!!

"Wild Chocolate Dream" from Coffee-Bean!!! =D

Miri Trip With George & Shirley [Part2]

Back in the time, there was a small discussion about "Panggang Ikan" that I had with my friends!

We discussed & shared our ideas on how "Panggang Ikan" is cook? What's delicious about it? Where we can eat nice & tasty "Ikan Panggang" in Brunei and etc.

"Panggang" = "Grilled"

"Ikan" = "Fish" -__-!! Haha... [Grilled Fish] Majority of us do enjoy eating BBQ's foods like chicken wings, lambs, hotdogs and a lot more. And one more that we won't miss it out which is fishes. BBQ fishes are also nice & tasty to eat when we grilled it. Especially when we dip it with ...

The Blended Chili Sauce

Home-made Sambal Sauce

The Cut Chili with Garlic

As for the Panggang Ikan, we either can BBQ it ourself or we can buy it at "Pasar Malam Gadong" in Brunei. As the discussion carried further more, we talked from "Ikan Panggang" to "Ikan Bakar".

"Ikan" = "Fish"
"Bakar" = "Burn" [Fish Burn] What's that? Hehe! =D

Ikar Bakar which is Hot-Plate Fish that the fish is cook on the hot plate.

Another "pattern" that serves TASTY fishes too!!!

And what's the secret behind these hot-plate that serves tasty fishes too?

It's the "Sambal"!!! Sambal is a side dish that serves in Indonesian & Malaysian Cuisine. These spicy relish is made with fresh chillis, chilli pepper and numberless variations can be created by the addition of vegetables, fruits, meats, shrimp paste and additional seasonings like Kicap Manis. [A Sweet & Spiced soy sauce]

When 1+1, it gives us 2! And when Ikan + Hot Plate + Sambal, it gives us these...

The Ikan-Bakar where we can find at Tamu Selera, Bandar Seri Begawan.

In I-Lotus restaurant

Due to not much restaurant that serves Ikan Bakar in Brunei, so we're bringing in the places in our neughbouring countries that serve nice Ikan Bakar. And here's...

Ikan Bakar we can eat at Kuala Lurah.

Then I brought up one famous place in Miri,Sarawak that serves nice Hot-Plated's foods and seafoods. The place where it serves really "FRESH" seafoods!!!

大头虾 "Big-head Prawn" that is also known as 淡水虾! And it's "ALIVE"! haha! =D

Other than Fresh foods serve, it also comes with varieties of choices too!!!

白蝌虾 The prawn that we usually have for Butter Egg Prawn, Deep Fried Prawn and etc.

Oysters

Ketam!!! Ahem-ahem! kekeke! =P

Squid

Fishes that are being supply to the restaurant everyday!

High horsepower car gives us Speed, Big muscle-man gives us Strength, Happy brings us Smile and FRESH ingredients give us DELICIOUS!

白蝌虾, Steamed-Prawn! Fresh ingredients not only give us Delicious, it also gives us LOOK!

Wine Steamed Oyster!!!

Telling the story half day, what's the name of the place?

It's [Meng Chai Seafood Centre] 明财铁板烧!

Then I continued to talk about these restaurant. I once heard from an uncle that always visit that restaurant. He said that a restaurant which allocated beside these Meng Chai Seafood Centre needs weeks time to earn what Meng Chai Seafood Centre earned in a day! That restaurant opens at daytime only and as for Meng Chai, it opens only at Night time...

And then my friend in the end asked me! "Yong, you know how to get into that place? You show us the way next time!" then I answered.

[I can't because I never been there before and never try the foods at there too!!!]

WAHLAU!!! and you talked & sounded like you'd been there like that!!! PIANG EII~

Hahahaha!!!

And what's the secret behind these Meng Chai Seafood Centre that makes her so fame?

Is it the "SAMBAL" again? Hahaha!!!

Or since selling alcohol is legal in Malaysia...

So is it the TIGER BEER then???

[明财铁板烧] its direct translation is Meng Chai's hot plate! It's neither the SAMBAL nor the TIGER BEER...

It's the HOT PLATE that are behind all these!!! Hehe! The hot plate is just a tool just like car. Without a good driver, the fastest car also can be a normal car too! Just like these hot-plate, without a good cook, it can't be operates well!!! And the boss is the one that operates it, using these hot-plate to serve his customers with Marvelous & Tasty seafoods!!!

Without a good chef, the fishes that cook on it wouldn't be these nice...

Looks like the fish is cook with deep-fried's style instead of hot-plate's style. It's actually cooked with Hot-Plated's style and how does the boss did it? The uncle once told me about Meng Chai Seafood Restaurant also told me that why the hot-plate in Meng Chai is so delicious. It's because of the ingredients that he himself mixes & the sauces that he himself creates. Just like KFC! The blends of 11herbs and spices' secret recipe. Hahaha!!!

And for these time, I blogged Meng Chai like I'd been there and had tried the foods there!

[Yong, sure you're not sabotaging again ahh! not HL-ing us again ahh!!!]

So can I show you guys the way how to get to Meng Chai Seafood Centre? Hehehe!!!

我出力,你们出钱!!! 几分工和做啊!!! 哈哈哈!!! [I contribute Strength and You all contribute Cash! How cooperate we are!!! HaHaHa!!!]

The pictures right after the Ikan Bakar taken from Kuala Kurah were all taken during my trip to Miri with George & Shirley! Taken in Meng Chai restaurant. Hehe! Thanks to the both of you for the trip & treat. =D

Have a nice starting on the beginning of the week everyone!!! Let's move foward together.
