Penang Char Kuay Teow and Nasi Lemak in Cheras....another great option

Choices of reasonably tasty char kuay teow (the saucy type) in KL are limited. Among the popular one is 'Mali's Corner' at Downtown Danau Kota, Setapak. The journey from my house in Sri Permaisuri to Setapak which will crossing the city centre of KL would have killed my appetite.

The nasi lemak with fried chicked

As usual, mister know everything i.e. google search, recommended some thing near to me, Pak Teh Stall located at Taman Tenaga, Bandar Tun Razak, around 4 km from Bandar Sri Permaisuri. Without further delay, I went there and ordered TWO dishes, the famous char kuay teow and the nasi lemak with fried chicken. Did I said I ordered both, ohhhh noooo! Tasted both and, yes, the dishes can be a very good option for Mali's Corner. Although the prawn in the char kuay teow not as plenty as Mali's Corner, but it was value for money with reasonable portion. The nasi lemak sambal also taste better not too sweet and not too hot. BUT do remember this is not a fancy restaurant, the gastronomic joint is only a side road stall with plenty of seats.

The Penang Char Kuay Teow will cost you at RM4.00 (USD1.00) and the nasi lemak with fried checken at RM4.50 (USD1.10), VERY cheap.

This is my personal review on this gastronomic joint.

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...

The City in the Japanese Imaginary: Osaka, Japan

The Osaka Castle This is the last post for Japan Tour which covers the Metropolitan Osaka. Osaka is the capital city of Osaka Prefecture and the largest component of the Keihanshin Metropolitan Area, the second largest metropolitan area in Japan with over 19 million population. This historical merchant city located at the mouth of the Yodo River on Osaka Bay. Osaka has also been known as the "nation's kitchen" and during the Edo period served as a center for the rice trade. A view of Osaka from the highest building in Japan, the Abeno Harukas A bird eyes view of Osaka at night To save some budgets, I bought the Osaka Amazing Pass (Y2500 for 1-day; Y3300 for 2-day) which comes with a complete guide and map. This pass covers all metro and bus connectivities within the city and fees for major attractions such as Dotonbori River Cruise, HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel, Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, Osaka Science Museum, Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka Tennoji Zoo, Osa...
