Warung Siti Idah, Melaka....variety of local dishes for breakfast

The serabai with sweetened coconut milk, RM0.50 per piece
A very nice lazy weekend of the Malaysia Independent Day Holiday (the Merdeka Day 31st August is tomorrow) in my hometown Melaka. Wake up very early in the morning for local favorite breakfast, too many choices in Melaka. Hurmmmm! Why not trying the 'mee bodoh (simple plain fried noodle)'. 
The lontong, RM3.00
Drove to the stall located in Tengkera, arrived at around 9 am, huhuhuhu sadly, the queue was toooo loooong and no seat! Too many people standing waiting for seat, ayoooo! cannot wait with hungry tummy.
Next option was Warung Siti Idah located at Balai Panjang, Melaka. This will be my first time trying their food. When we arrived, there was lines of cars parking on the road site. It shows a level of popularity of the joint.
The crispy roti canai, RM0.80
The hospitality was quite good, only the croud will delay your order but the waiting time is no too long. We ordered three dishes, lontong (cube rice with yellow coconut curry), serabai with pengat pisang (rice pancake with banana in sweetened coconut milk) and roti canai (prata bread). The food taste reasonably good. The lontong curry was not too light and too thick. The roti canai was soft but yet cripsy. The serabai is a traditional pancake and is difficult to find, this the only stall that I know who have them. The gastronomic joint is only a side road warung (small hut with plenty of seats). Other than these, the have long list of menu, curry noodle, nasi lemak etc.

Price was.reasonably cheap, the lontong amd curry noodle will cost you at RM3.00 per plate (USD0.80), the serabai at RM0.50 per piece (USD0.15) and the roti canai at RM0.80 (USD0.20), very cheap for current living cost.

Converting Bedside Table to a Portable Wash-Stand (IKEA Hack)

What to do if a ready made furniture is not able to fit in the space that is available? Your choice will be either build a customised furniture or hacking a furniture for a different purpose. Hacking a furniture will cut almost 70% of the work required to build a customised furniture from zero.  Here, I share a step-by-step process on one of my DIY weekend projects converting bedside table to portable wash-stand. What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA...

Too dark...too bright....

Too dark or too bright.....this is due to poor exposure of the sensor to light. Is it a problem if my photo is too dark or too bright? May be yes and may be no, depends on what you want in your image. If the photo is too dark (underexposed), you will loss the detail of the shadow. If the photo is too bright (overexposed), you will loss the texture of the cloud and sky. Exposure is a combination of two fundamental settings: the aperture opening and the shutter speed. Aperture opening is the function in your lens and the shutter speed is the function in your camera. Optimal exposure can be achieved with many combinations of aperture opening size and the shutter speed, BUT each combination will have differences in depth of focus, motion blur and etc. How this exposure can be controlled? The answer is by having a good understanding of the combination of aperture and shutter speed. Shallow depth of focus, focus point was on the middle broccoli, focal length of 50 mm, large aperture ope...

The Town of Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom

The time available for me to explore the Town of Reading was limited, as my worktrip was quite packed with formal meetings at the University of Reading and vis it to hospital and community establishments. Reading is located on the west of Heathrow Airport for about 26 miles and Greater London for about 42 miles. The Town Hall of Reading with grey and red bricks Lets go to the main landmarks of Reading. The first one is Reading Town Hall. The building was built between1786 and 1897. Currently, the town hall is used as Reading Museum and a large concert hall. Actually, the frontage was newly built with grey and red bricks, and terracota ornaments. The new facelift included the clock tower. Sadly however, the building suffered severe air raid in 1943. The latest refurbishement was completed in the year of 2000. On the southside of the town hall, you can see a dominant tower like structure that is the St Laurence’s Church. The Reading Town Hall, a vi...
