New Food Court in Putri Mart

"Wei...? What you wanna eat tonight?" I picked up the phone immediately drove passing out the factory gate.

This is the usual opening of our conversation. It is perfectly well suited to us as we believe after filling up our stomach, our brain will work better for the night.

"I will bring you to a new place. I accidentally found it today!" She said eagerly.

"Really? Good or not?"

"How can I know?! I just found it today."

"..."

"Not expensive one la... I know you. Value for money."

"Hey, I am not that kiam siap la..."

"You will be surprise!"

When I pressed the off button on my hand phone, I quickly clicked the search engine in my brain, scanning any image on "food+new+cheap+special+Puchong". Too bad, a window popped up stated: "No standard information containing all your search terms were found".

Tried to divert my curiosity, I switched on the radio and increased the volume. But unconsciously, my foot pressed harder on the pedal.

*****

The moment I saw Putri Mart in front of me, my brain freeze.

"Is this the one you mean? Hahaha... It open very recent, but I notice it already." I laughed.

"You do?! I thought it will give you a surprise. See, so huge! With so many food stalls inside. I am very excited!"

"....."

After pressing the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and rebooted, thoughts quickly ran through my mind. Yes, this Nice To Eat Food Center in Putri Mart, Bandar Putri Puchong fit perfectly well in my search terms, and I did registered the image in my mind couple of days before. But why it did not pop up in my mind? There is only one reason: Woman, you ain't know what are they thinking!




Standard BBQ chicken wings. Can find in any store anywhere.


Stew duck was nice. I like the little lamp below. It helps my picture to looks better by steaming the gravy.



This is a glass of very unique apple water. Yes, apple water, not juice. perhaps that night there were only tiny little apples left in their fridge and the SOP stated that: blend 1 apple and add reasonable amount of water until the jumbo glass is full.

Ah Yip Herbal Soup

It was a boring afternoon. My lunch partner had has another date and left me behind. Usually with this kind of situation, I will go for my happy meal to cheer me up.

Walking alone in Mines should be fun. But that day pretty girls all hiding in their nest and I only saw few ninjas flying around. What a day.

"Well, at least I can rest my eye for this time." I told myself. Maybe I can concentrate on my paper while having my lunch. :)

Walked passed a shop called Ah Yip, serving herbal soup, and set lunch.

"Decoration looks sophisticated. Mmnn... Maybe I should built my immune system today." I told myself again. I wonder this herbal thing can make me "Happy" or not?


Signage looks nice but kind of complicated. I need to spend time to understand the promotion message.



A complete meal with stew mushroom chicken, vegetables and a bowl of herbal soup cost me about RM13. I felt slightly healthier after the meal. But no happier. :)

Gamble in Genting?

Gambling, an activity love by billion, but since we know how to eat, we had been told it is a very bad habit . It is illegal to gamble if you are not at legal age and legal place like Genting, here in Malaysia. And that's why millions of people flock up to that little hill each year to look for sudden rich.

Read it somewhere that there is two nation love gambling the most, Chinese and English. They bet everything, from football, racing, who wins the minister ship to even when David Beckham will divorce. Unbelievable!

I am not going to waste too much time writing about this because "gambling" alone is already a heavy topic. We can even zoom in to look at the socialeconomic espect, human phycology implication, organism behaviour, etc. Plenty of research topic can be focus and many thesis can be written from.

What I know is life is a game. We have rules to follow and we play by it. If we are skillful and lucky enough, we win. Sometimes we loose. Everyday we make choices, we make decision. We take risk, and we should be prepared to loose.

Many moments we have choices to choose and decision to make. These all based on our experience, needs, and "feelings". If this is not gambling, then what?

So, we live life as a gambler. If we won, its just part of the game. We move on to face another challenge. If we loose? It is also a part of the game. We got to move on and face another round. As long as we don't bet everything we have, and play it smart, game will carry on, until THE END.



Picture taken at the entrance of Coffee Terrace, in Genting. Not a coffee house as it sound, but a fine buffet court.



Chinese food freshly cook at the bar. Look at that fire! Hot food served, for sure.



Plenty of dishes served. From Indian, Chinese, Malay to western cuisine. If you tend to try all, be prepared to be very very full.


See those hot pot? How can you try them all? So many.




Lady Sifu is doing Chinese Ramien.



Her hand is faster than the camera speed. Thus, noodle unseen.


Ramien hand made from the lady Sifu. Yum yum yum.


A table of food fresh and hot from the counter. Eat all you can!



I like this steam chicken drum steak with herbs. It make me feel "healthy".



Oh! They serve satay also. By the way.



Curry noodle must try, since its my favorite.



Desert looks so tempting. Like armies lining up to kill your stomach.
