I really need a pair of good walking shoes, preferable a pair of sandals that look good and casual. My Mom has a pair of Croc which looks very comfortable and they are really comfortable coz she did not complain when I went 'long haul' shopping with her. Her Croc shoes are not the common 'big head' type which I don't really like because they make my feet look big and bulky.
Another brand I might consider is 'Clark' shoes. They have very nice and basic, everlasting design. But I find both 'Croc' and 'Clark' are rather expensive for a pair of sandals. Maybe I will look for 'Hush Puppy' or maybe 'Scholl' which are more affordable. Well, it has been a long time I have not bought myself a pair of shoes, why not Croc or Clark?
I have a good reason to go shopping this weekend.

1-Stop Cafe - Bt 3 Jalan Ipoh, KL
We have been working without off since the CNY 5 days holiday, so hubby called one day off yesterday to be lazy around!
We went to this 1-Stop Cafe in Jalan Ipoh, located behind all the Dim Sum shops that operate almost 24 hours per day. It was a very hot day and I ordered this cold drink called Mint Medley (RM4.90) a mixture of calamasi,apple and pear juice, very refreshing:
Hubby ordered Hainan Coffee(RM1.50), very aromatic and creamy.
Hubby ordered Green Bean Soup:
And Tau Fu Fa:
As we had our lunch just a few hours ago, we tried out some snack like this Pumpkin Pie (RM3.00):
It tasted something like Fried Sweet Potatoes but mashed pumpkin was used instead, something different.
I ordered Trendy Tortilla (RM3.50), it was something like minced meat wrapped with roti prata, savoury tasty.
Besides all the light snacks, the cafe serves heavy stuff like Nasi Lemak, Fried Hokkien Mee and Tai Chow dishes that go with rice. The drink list has many to select too. From healthy juices to coffee and tea. Price is quite reasonable and the ambiance is relax and cosy. I find this place is much better that the famous OTC, yunno which one mean!

Kedai Makanan Laut LTE - Selayang Utama, Selangor
One rainy night, the fridge was empty and hubby was not around and I decided to eat outside with my two boys. Instead of eating 'one bowl meal' ie laksa, soup noodles, we craved for something like home cook food 'tai chow style'.
This corner lot 'tai chow' restaurant is located in Selayang Utama Industrial area. The restaurant had two portion, one is air-cond area and one is outside...sort of al-fresco dining.
We ordered 'Steamed egg @ three kind of yolks '. It was not coated with a layer of oil and soy sauce on top so it was a bit dry, healthy though.
This Stir Fry Spinach was very tasty with a tinge of Shao Xin Wine.
I wonder what is the secret of making this dish....'Fried Calamari' can be so crispy, dry and well coated with batter.
My boys' favourite..'Steamed Lala with Soup'.
The total cost was about RM45 inclusive of two plates of rice, one coconut, one coke and one glass of hot Chinese tea.

Pizza Milano - One Utama New Wing
It's school holiday again........what else to do for city folks and kids?? See movie, window shopping, eat, eat and eat. Well yesterday I brought my boys to watch the movie "Dragonball" in One Utama, new wing. After buying 2.30pm show we decided to have lunch there. The eldest son wanted Japanese buffet at the Shogun, youngest son wanted Pizza and Mommy wanted to eat Thai food. We ended up going for pizza because it's been a long time we have not eaten pizza.
We spotted Pizza Milano located just 200 meter away from the ticket booth of GSC cinema. It is kind of fast food pizza selling Italian pasta , pizza and waffle.
10 minutes later, after placing our order, the crowd came in and almost covered 3/4 of the place.
I ordered Pizza Americano consists of pepperoni, sliced chicken and olive.
Eldest son ordered Pizza Chicken Delight.
Eldest son ordered another Pizza Beef Pepperoni.
Youngest son ordered Meat Ball spaghetti.

Although only one type of pizza pastry available, I find the pizza and spaghetti here are very tasty, full of mozzarella cheese and quite generous with the meat and vegetables. The price is quite reasonable, RM9.90 for a small pizza and RM7.90 for a generous plate of spaghetti. Drinks are between RM2.00 - RM6.00. I will come here again if I want some fast food pizza instead of the famous Pizza Hut or The Shakey Pizza which I find it's not tasty and rather expensive.

CHARN KEE TASTY CORNER - JLN ALOR, KL
Hubby and I usually have our brunch nearby our office area but today we decided to go further to 'cari makan' (look for food). We drove down to Jalan Alor and were very lucky to find a parking upon reaching the place.
Charn Kee Tasty Corner is the place recommended by my ex-colleague when I was working in the then Nagaria Kompleks (now Berjaya Building). I love the food here. They have Soup Dumpling, Tomyam Noodles, Dried Curry Noodles, Lam Mee and their famous Seafood Noodles.
This the front part of the shop, it is quite difficult to spot the shop as it is blocked by eating stalls (operating at night) in front of the shop.
I tried their Lam Mee for the first time, I find it lacks of certain taste. I think I still prefer their Seafood Noodles.
Their Chendol is very "SEDAP".

Charn Kee is famous for its Fish Paste Seafood Noodles, a lot of 'liao' and the soup is tasty, served with their sambal belanchan........yummy!

Charn Kee Tasty Corner opens from 7.30am to 4.00pm, closed on Monday. A bowl of noodles cost about RM4.50. It is located before The Sisters Rice Wine Chicken Noodles shop in Jalan Alor main road.

HAKKA LUI CHA
Whenever I eat this Hakka Lui Cha, my son would say "Mom is eating goat food". I love Lui Cha so much although I am not a Hakka. I tried this Hakka Lui Cha in Kepong after my physiotherapy session in Metro Prima. I have stiff shoulder and neck ache for some time. This restaurant was recommended by Axian of Taste with Jasonhttp://blog.axian788.com.
There are two type of rice to select one is white rice (RM5.50-small) and brown rice (RM6.50-small). The soup was full of herb and leaves flavour. It was a very healthy and satisfying meal.

Muar and Melaka Trip during CNY- Pt2
After the Muar trip we drove up to Melaka and checked in a 2 star hotel in Melaka Raya. As this was a last minute trip, those hotels we wanted to stay were all fully booked. After checking in, took a nap and shower we went to a friend name James's house. His Mom cooked a wonderful meals for us. It was not an authenthic Nyonya food, but Chinese cum Nyonya home cook food.....reminded me of my grandma's cooking有婆婆的味道。
Melaka was flooded with Singaporean and outstation cars. The traffic was slow around the Jonker Street area.
After all the visiting and well wishing, it was about 1.00am and we drove round Melaka Raya for something to eat (actually we were not hungry)and we spotted this :
These were what we ordered:
Extra fish balls:
We came to this place as most of the eating place was not opened and we saw a lot of people were eating here but the food was very disappointing. The fish balls were not fresh, I think the fish balls were not properly refrigerated. The noodles was so so only. According to my Melaka friend who operates a coffee shop nearby, said the owner of this restaurant had changed hand many times within two years......I guess I know why.
