before slumbering the night away, and not wanting to continue to monopoly game, we turn to something for exciting… the loser have to perform a pole dance, coincidently a pole is in the middle of the living room

squating action

swing action which looks familiar

and some molesting action

microwave, you could charge your phone, camera as there are ample electrical socket, but there is no phone coverage here. (that is no communication with the outside world)

going back

while driving back, you will see lots of orang asli shacks

and some modern orang asli housing area

pond before you reach civilisation (10 minutes from Sekeping Serendah to the main road of Serendah with Serendah KTM…)

Wonderful trip, refreshing air and surrounding especially waking up surrounded by trees

Seng Kua(kind of gourd) with tofu, RM8, nice

crab, RM28/kg, here is 1kg. fresh and delicious. (steamed with ginger and egg white)

Popeye fast food in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, near 1 Utama Shopping Center.

i had a 2pcs chicken set(includes 2 pc chick, coleslaw, biscuit, mash potatoes and coke) The chicken is not oily, but i still prefer KFC version which is more flavourfully spiced. Biscuit is ok, i had better few years back in US, here they prob use the ready-made mix… coleslaw(not pictured here) is better than KFC as it has gherkins bits and rougher cut. Unlike KFC, here you can mix spicy and mild fried chicken, but although i asked for one spicy and one mild, could hardly taste any difference.

mash potatoes i something i have never seen before, the gravy has chili bits in it(mildly spicy) and also bits of meat, probably chicken in it. As a gravy and potato lover, this definitely suits me.

remember to order a large mash potatoes with gravy SEPARATED, then they will give you 2 small tubs of gravy, yeah, and you have more gravy if you ask them to separate it… hehe

looking out, competition(KFC) is nearby to the right.

similar options with KFC

they also selling: fish, shrimps, cajun fries, cheesecake dessert etc

menu 1

menu 2

The thing i like bout Popeye is their mash potatoes with wonderful gravy, and also their pricing! they don’t have government tax, service tax, wat you see on the menu is what you paying for.

Address: Popeyes

This cendol and rojak stall is on jalan kuching(near Jalan Ipoh), looking across the road, is old town white coffee kopitiam franchise store.

they selling indian rojak

a bowl for RM1.40, a treat on a sunny day.

This Recipe is taken from JOM MAKAN! GOOD FOOD TREK. My first exposure to biscotti is probably in Starbucks where my uni friend-Ice, who is an avid Starbuck fan influence me to it. It usually comes in Almond flavor, chocolate hazelnut etc. It is a healthy and hearthy cookie.

Above is ground almond which is required in this recipe. You can buy it in Cold Storage or Carrefour for RM3.20(60g). Although this list looks daunting, i am pretty much determined to make them, most if not all. I brought it to office and they are 3 orders for it, will “deliver” it next week 🙂 will sell for RM15 for a box, guess this price is alright. As much as i like experimenting food, selling food is usually not as fun, the “stress” of making them in bulk, and the hygiene… and i don’t know how much the food can store, the need to handle “customer inquiry”… but it is always a dream if i can earn a living by doing what i like, which is basically all matters related to food.

Texture of this biscotti is nice, not as rock hard as my previous attempt using another recipe.

Sugar, egg, vanilla and NO OIL. yep, you heard right, biscotti mostly have no oil as it is usually eaten by dunking it in hot coffee.

beat it

till it becomes frothy as above

sifted flour, ground almond and whole almond

mix the almonds into the floor

mixing process

shape it into log shape, the rightmost is the first i made, which is the better looking one, towards the left, the dough is sticking too much to my hand as i didn’t flour my hand…

finished the first half baking process (biscotti means twice baked cookie, it is baked initially for bout 15 mins, let it cool, then sliced it diagonally, then baked till crisp)

let it cool

sliced it diagonally into long shape

finished product, after baking another 10 minutes

Anyone want to buy can email me at vivien_1223 at yahoo.com

haha, just for fun, don’t really think people will order from me… haha
