湖滨鱼头米粉 Woo Pin Fish Head Noodle

During my last visit to my hometown, I had introduced this fish head noodle that serve in Taman Desa to my Hong Kong friends.
This place usually very busy during weekend. However, we went there during weekday and there were lots of place to seat. :)
This is a drink that never been found in HK as well, lime juice with sour plum (桔子酸梅).

My friends had tried 3 colours coffee (三色咖啡).

This is the fish head noodle that we had wait for more than 10 minutes. Fish soup came with milk in it. For the ingredient, you may choose fried fish, fish or fish ball and also the type of noodle you like. You may also choose not to add milk into the soup if you don't like the taste of milk. To me, I like the original taste, fried fish + milky sweet fish soup.

For the type of noodle, I'd chose mee hoon (thin rish noodle). It was indeed a satisfy breakfast for the day. ;)

Madam Kwan's

I have not been to Madam Kwan's since I Left my previous company that located in KLCC which was about 4 yrs ago.

I visited Madam Kwan's again on my last vacation in Malaysia. This time, I went there with my Hong Kong friends.

Some of you may ask, "why chose Madam Kwan's? There are a lot of nice local food restaurant out there." Well, I chose Madam Kwan's coz I was happened to stuck in KLCC due to heavy rain. To fill up our empty stomach with 1st meal in Malaysia after touched down, I introduced Madam Kwan's which serve local cuisine to my friends.


This is not KLCC Madam Kwan's restaurant. I took this photo at Mid Valley.

Nasi Lemak. This is the best dish among all the dishes we'd ordered. I like the Sambal they served.


Curry Laksa. Not bad.


Nasi Bojari. This is a huge dish. Fragrance rice comes with fried chicken, beef rendang, half boiled egg and asam prawns.

Char Kuay Teow. This is better if add some sambal with it.


Otak-otak, Malaysia style fish cake. I don't like it.

Sambal Petai with prawns. This is a dish that I must intro to my friends from HK. Surprisingly, they quite like it.

DUO 陳奕迅 Eason 2010 Concert

I went to watch Eason's concert at Hong Kong Coliseum (紅館 ) yesterday night. That was DUO concerts day number 9th.


Fortunately, my seat was raw number 1. Very near to the stage and I may have chance to shake Eason's hand. =)
The warning board just located in front of my seat. To warn the fans, don't climb over handrail.

The concert start at 8.45pm sharp. Whole coliseum was lighten with the green laser lights that gaven away by organiser.
And Eason appeared from the center stage with his first song.


Eason came to the stage that near me after few songs. However, he didn't came nearer. I guess he was trying to avoid unnecessarily chaos.

This is the first time Eason stood less than 2 meter away than me. =P

I bought 2 front raw ticket that came with 2 cushions with Eason voice.

That was a very enjoyable concert. Unfortunately, Eason hoarse his voice.
